By: Gabriela Yareliz November, November, November. You have given me unexpected gifts, and for that I am grateful. I was pressing some little purple flowers in a book, and I thought, it’s funny how something so temporary, like a flower, can have its beauty preserved, even after it’s lifeless. I once had a discussion with a friend who said there wasContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: November 2014”

Last Registration
By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, we 3Ls registered for our last set of law school classes. (I am so excited!) Graduation is gettin’ real, quick. Many of us don’t know what lies ahead, and some things may seem like detours or things that weren’t in our plans… “When God is getting ready to move you, in orderContinue reading “Last Registration”
That One Thing
By: Gabriela Yareliz Many times, we try to give God a lot of things in our lives and different parts of us. We also hold some things back. What is it that God wants from us? “O my son, give me your heart. May your eyes take delight in following my ways.” Proverbs 23:26 WhenContinue reading “That One Thing”
My Mistake on: What Every “Godly” Girl Wants in a Man
By: Gabriela Yareliz So, I reblogged a post yesterday that I read, and I honestly think I read it thinking it was saying what I wanted it to say (it’s like being a bad listener, except this is being a bad reader). But after rereading it and thinking about it and discussing it, I realizedContinue reading “My Mistake on: What Every “Godly” Girl Wants in a Man”
Friday Glee: November 14, 2014
By: Gabriela Yareliz Baby, it’s cold outside! Full-blown winter out here. And for some reason, the light rain and four-degree wind chill (I exaggerate…) with the twinkling lights makes us feel that life is like a Christmas jewelry commercial (with background music and all). New York City just has that vibe. It doesn’t always have that vibe. OnlyContinue reading “Friday Glee: November 14, 2014”
Friday Glee: November 7, 2014
Have an amazing Friday! I am feeling very Princess Jasmine today dressed in teal. My survival week after week is truly part of my religious experience. 🙂 It’s time to celebrate the weekend and all of God’s blessings. We made it through. “Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thingContinue reading “Friday Glee: November 7, 2014”
/Why then do we not despair?/
Anna Akhmatova’s poem: “Everything is Plundered, Betrayed, Sold” Everything is plundered, betrayed, sold, Death’s great black wing scrapes the air, Misery gnaws to the bone. Why then do we not despair? By day, from the surrounding woods, cherries blow summer into town; at night the deep transparent skies glitter with new galaxies. And the miraculousContinue reading “/Why then do we not despair?/”

Harvesting in Life
By: Gabriela Yareliz; based on the quotes and message by Dr. Tony Evans, “Let it Work” ; [Sorry for the typos, I shudder when I find them]. It’s harvest season here. Upstate New York has an abundance of produce and crops; some people have apples coming out of their ears– it’s that time of year.Continue reading “Harvesting in Life”
Monday Inspiration: October 27, 2014
[Look at the week with the confidence of Inspector Clouseau.] By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello, hello! Last week of October. We’ve survived. We made it. It’s been a sniffley, sleep-deprived, couple of weeks. I just finished a project on international law and torture. I was confirming the spelling of a terrorist group, and I felt nervous whileContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 27, 2014”
