Love Shoutout: La Familia

By: Gabriela Yareliz A snippet of me being with the people I love the most, my family. This one goes out to the people who make my eyes sparkle; the people God has gifted to me as my home.

Remembering Thursday: February 12, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz It really was a Goliath of a Wednesday. Life changes in an instant. Today, some walked in victory like David before Goliath; others sat innocently in a prison of life as Joseph once did before God fulfilled his dreams; others were in pain surrendering their greatest blessing in order to reap theContinue reading “Remembering Thursday: February 12, 2015”

Wednesday Musings: February 11, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello fellow survivors of this world. I hope your week is going splendidly.

Jordanian Retribution

After the insanely brutal, scarring execution of Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbe, King Abdullah II has decided to hit ISIS, and hit it hard. Now that tragedy has touched home so directly (we must keep in mind Jordan is also home to more than 640,000 Syrian refugees; another crisis the country is dealing with), King Abdullah II has sentContinue reading “Jordanian Retribution”

Wednesday Musings: February 4, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz So, Wednesday just about killed us all here. What a day. It has been a day of exhaustion, true brain power and learning. I needed to take a minute and just breathe. “You’ve been invited to taste & see. Don’t be satisfied to just believe & agree.” LB, To Taste & See “JesusContinue reading “Wednesday Musings: February 4, 2015”

Monday Inspiration: February 2, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Monday! Freezing rain and snow have made us go slippin’ and slidin’ to school. This week is going to be a challenge. Time to get some inspiration in the veins.
