The ladies from Sex and the City By: Gabriela Yareliz [All images from Tumblr] Don’t worry– this is not a post about the ridiculously self-centered women of the HBO hit show. Nor is this a sex column, à la Carrie Bradshaw. I was on the train this morning, and I saw so many advertisements andContinue reading “Sex (and the City)?”

Sunday Girl/Reflections: June 5, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz I’ll try not to make this a rambling post, but I am just spilling out of my glass right now; overwhelmed with so much– good and bad. I feel it has been a while since I came by these parts. Life has been insanely busy. I feel like I barely sleep, andContinue reading “Sunday Girl/Reflections: June 5, 2016”
A Love That Seeks
By: Gabriela Yareliz This morning, I was reading about how God loves and pursues us. The way He romances our souls and goes after us. “Marriage stands for the creation of unity among two people who were once separated in every way before love reached out and found the other– the way God reached outContinue reading “A Love That Seeks”
Are You The One?
“Are you the one who is to come? Or shall we look for another?” Luke 7:19 By: Gabriela Yareliz Those were the words spoken by John’s messengers. John the Baptist, that is. Yes. I know what you are thinking. John the Baptist, the same guy Bible movies portray as a lunatic caveman, with hair thatContinue reading “Are You The One?”
Sunday Girl: May 8, 2016
Excerpt from a letter to friends: My greatest prayer is: “[T]hat the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which HeContinue reading “Sunday Girl: May 8, 2016”
Friday Glee: April 29, 2016
Thoughts from The Opposite of Loneliness: Essays and Stories, by Marina Keegan. “What we have to remember is that we can still do anything. We can change our minds. We can start over. Get a post-bac or try writing for the first time. The notion that it’s too late to do anything is comical. It’sContinue reading “Friday Glee: April 29, 2016”
Reflections Before Bedtime #81
By: Gabriela Yareliz I just finished what is probably one of the best books I have read in years: Just Mercy, by Bryan Stevenson. Attorney Stevenson’s non-fiction account of many of the cases he took on to save people from execution on death row are haunting, memorable– and pretty much each story will fill your eyesContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #81”
Monday Inspiration: April 4, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz Who knows what this week holds in store for us. I just pray that whatever comes, we will be ready to face it. This weekend, it was windy and springish, until Saturday night, which quickly turned into torrential rains and air that chills you to the bone. At 4 am Sunday, theContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: April 4, 2016”
Reflections Before Bedtime #79
“It would be hung in attics, she thought; it would be destroyed. But what did that matter? she asked herself, taking up her brush again. She looked at the steps; they were empty; she looked at her canvas; it was blurred. With a sudden intensity, as if she saw it clear for a second, sheContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #79”
The Highest Place
“Without the cross, man could have no union with the Father. On it depends our every hope. From it shines the light of the Savior’s love, and when at the foot of the cross the sinner looks up to the One who died to save him, he may rejoice with fullness of joy, for hisContinue reading “The Highest Place”
