Friday Glee: September 25, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz I rode the train with a precocious child. He kept asking a bunch of questions, like which trains arrived at what station, and why certain tracks were higher than others. He was probably five years old. Then, when he arrived at his stop, he reached over and grabbed his mom’s hand andContinue reading “Friday Glee: September 25, 2015”
Knowing Your Commitment
By: Gabriela Yareliz Oftentimes, when we think of (Simon) Peter, we think of the things he said to Jesus. Jesus once told him, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again,Continue reading “Knowing Your Commitment”
Monday Inspiration: September 14, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Hi, hi! It’s Monday! (Partytime music in background). I hope you are ready to conquer your week. The weekend was nice. I met some new people, walked like 70 blocks through Manhattan in fall weather (in heels), cooked, wore a hairnet, started up some Arabic lessons after years of neglect, caught upContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: September 14, 2015”
Reflections Before Bedtime #38
By: Gabriela Yareliz Today was the first day of school for all public school kids in NYC. It was a day filled with tiny cuties wearing their backpacks. Some cried and begged their parents not to leave them, others seemed to confidently go in the direction of new friends. Do you remember, back in theContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #38”
The Certainty
By: Gabriela Yareliz There are many things in life we are uncertain about. Many times, we just have to learn to cope. Hebrews chapter 6, however, tells us about the certainty of God’s promises. It tells us that God made a promise to Abraham, “and thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise.” (v. 15).Continue reading “The Certainty”
This Month’s Picks: August 2015
Compiled by: Gabriela Yareliz Happy September! We survived August. August was personally filled with a lot of changes and constant movement for me. I am excited to know that autumn is just around the corner. I love fall. The other day, I was lounging on my mattress, and when I looked up at the window,Continue reading “This Month’s Picks: August 2015”
Bar Trip
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s a tradition, I guess, that frustrated and relieved law graduates take a trip after graduation and after taking the bar exam. Many go; whether broke, well off, employed, unemployed– August is jet-set time. I got lucky that I got a special gift from above (after all, the Bible says all goodContinue reading “Bar Trip”
Like the Leper
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was reading the account of the ten lepers who called out to Jesus for healing in Luke 17:11-19. Instead of healing them, there, right on the spot (as we would expect), Jesus told them to go show themselves to the priest (who was the person who deemed people clean or uncleanContinue reading “Like the Leper”
Reflections Before Bedtime #35
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, when we are making an important decision, we sit and weigh our options. I do this a lot. In the light of the current decision I must make, Moses came to mind. Hebrews 11:23-29English Standard Version (ESV) 23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents,Continue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #35”
