By: Gabriela Yareliz

I really enjoyed this program.

Marriage is not having the tingles, it’s crazy commitment. It’s getting down in the mud together. This commitment can only come from God.-Chris Fabry Live! (paraphrase; Oct. 10, 2013 program)

So, last week, I was all about not getting sick. Well, I got sick. It was like black plague, plus cold meds. Despite the craziness, it was such a blessed week. I can’t even explain. This week, I had some really meaningful moments.

How do you measure a year?

By: Gabriela Yareliz

What strangeness, the concept of time. I think it’s the ultimate science. Who can decipher time? Time is interesting. It can serve as a warm blanket that makes us feel safe, healed, comforted; or it can leave us like a broken bottle that’s been shattered in an alley that no one will touch or pick up for a very long time.

Time can make distance run; time can make love remain. Time is like a friend who is the revealer of secrets. It’s that finger that beckons you to follow it and move forward with curiosity, hope and euphoria.

As the song Seasons of Love from the musical Rent so accurately suggests, we should measure our time and lives by love.

Time. Despite the rollercoaster ride of life, somehow life can drop you off in a very familiar place. A place that used to be yours, and suddenly, you are yourself again. It can leave you stronger; it can leave you empty; it can leave you in a very different place from where you started.

It can do anything you want it to because ultimately, it’s your choice.

It is like the observation of the potter by Jeremiah in the Bible. The potter continues to work with the clay. Even if it has flaws, the potter does not throw it out, but instead it continues to fashion it, taking his time to make a useful vessel (Jeremiah 18). God is the potter; we are the clay. The story doesn’t end there. A potter doesn’t work on a ceramic piece to just leave it there. The piece is used to carry something, and whatever is inside gets poured out over time.

Every minute that goes by we have a choice. How do we want to be poured out?

I hope you choose to be that person: the one who stops and helps someone in an emergency; the one who feeds; the one who guides; the one who shines light in darkness; the one who comforts; the one who laughs; the one who explores; the one who identifies; the one who holds a hand; the one who expects nothing in return; the one who prays; the one who offers; the one who smiles; the one who serves; the one who sacrifices; the one who encourages; the one who leads by example; the one who loves.

Be conscious through the passage of time. Don’t choose bitterness, cynicism, doubt and hate. Be really alive; be genuinely content; be lovingly grateful; be extremely hopeful–and measure your life in love.

/How do you measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets,
in midnights, in cups of coffee,
in inches, in miles,
in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes,
how do you measure,
measure a year in a life?
How about love? Measure in love. Seasons of love./–Seasons of Love, Rent

Song of the moment: Anything Can Happen, Fifth Harmony cover

Is anyone else just loving Fifth Harmony right now? Such perfection in their voices. Remember, anything is possible.

Kourtney and Scott

By: Gabriela Yareliz

It was reported that Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner are splitting after 22 years of marriage. Sad. I heard this on Kidd Kraddick in the Morning’s Hizziewood Hizzle. J-si said, who would’ve thought that out of all of the relationships since the Keeping Up With the Kardashians started, that the only people still together would be Kourtney and Scott Disick.

A couple that publically had its ups and downs but goes to therapy. Despite almost reaching a breaking point (publically), but what seems to have made the difference is the fact that they really want to be with each other, which means they are willing to sacrifice pride and ego and work hard at it with sacrifice. I hope they stay together forever. Their children are so cute. I also hope they get married. People have favorite couples. This one is mine: Kourtney and Scott ❤

Enduring faith

By: Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 1, chapter 25

It is the church of God that have lost their faith to claim, their energy to wrestle, as did Jacob, crying: “I will not let Thee go, except Thou bless me.” Enduring faith has been dying away. It must be revived in the hearts of God’s people. There must be a claiming of the blessing of God. Faith, living faith, always bears upward to God and glory; unbelief, downward to darkness and death. – {1T 144.3}

Light up the sky

By: Gabriela Yareliz

Going back in the day today, so some inspiring collegiate day numbers.

Songs that remind you that you are never alone:

1) Light up the sky- The Afters

When I’m feeling all alone
With so far to go
The signs are no where on this road
Guiding me home
When the night is closing in
Is falling on my skin
Oh God, will you come close

You light, light, light up the sky
You light up the sky to show me that you are with me
And I, I, I can’t deny
No I can’t deny that you are right here with me
You’ve opened my eyes
So I can see you all around me
You light, light, light up the sky
You light up the sky to show me that you are with me

When stars are hiding in the clouds
I don’t feel them shining
When I can’t see beyond my doubt
The silver lining
When I’ve almost reached the end
Like a flood you’re rushing in
Your love is rushing in (your love is rushing in)

So I’ll run straight to your arms
You’re the bright and morning sun
To show your love there’s nothing you won’t do (nothing you won’t do)

(Oooh, oh , oh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
That you are with me
Oooh, oh , oh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
That you are with me
Oooh, oh , oh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh)

Songwriters
Muckala, Daniel John / Ingram, Jason / Havens, Joshua / Fuqua, Matt

2) Starry Night- Chris August

From the birds that sing
In the tallest trees
To the human life
Of you and me

From the desert sands
To the place we stand
He’s God of all
He is everything

I’ve given my life to the only one
Who makes the moon reflect the sun
Every starry night
That was his design

I’ve given my life to the only son
Who was and is and yet to come
Let the praises ring
‘Cause he is everything

‘Cause he is everything

From the autumn leaves
That will ride the breeze
To the faith it takes
To pray and sing

From the painted sky
To the plain-filled eye
He’s God of all
He is everything, whoa

I’ve given my life to the only one
Who makes the moon reflect the sun
Every starry night
That was his design

I’ve given my life to the only son
Who was and is and yet to come
Let the praises ring
‘Cause he is everything

‘Cause he is everything

Hallelujah, hallelujah
I believe, oh, oh
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I believe

I’ve given my life to the only one
Who makes the moon reflect the sun
Yeah

I’ve given my life to the only son
Who was and is and yet to come
Yeah, oh

I’ve given my life to the only one
Who makes the moon reflect the sun
Every starry night
That was his design

I’ve given my life to the only son
Who was and is and yet to come
And the angels sing
That he is heavenly

So let the praises ring
‘Cause he is everything

Thoughts for: Oct. 7, 2013

“If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don’t write, because our culture has no use for it. The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.”
Anais Nin

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
Howard Thurman

“You ever look at a picture of yourself and see a stranger in the background? It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of other people’s lives have we been in? Were we a part of someone’s life when their dream came true? Or were we there when their dreams died? Did we keep trying to get in, as if we were somehow destined to be there? Or did the shock take us by surprise? Just think, you’d be a big part of someone else’s life… and not even know it”
One Tree Hill

“I’m independent and strong, but sometimes…just sometimes, it’s nice to be taken care of.”
The Mighty Storm (Samantha Towle)
