This Week’s Picks: September 22, 2013

By: Gabriela Yareliz

Welcome Autumn! Officially. Even though to me, it has been fall for at least a week and a half. Us clinic law students are typing out memos this weekend, and strategy plans for our cases. Exciting times.

Uncertainty and hope is the cocktail we are drinking.

I bought the cutest coat, and now I am just excited. Boots are ready and enlisted for the season. Adorable poncho ready. Let’s do this!

I remember around this time, in elementary school, teachers with leaf embroidered knit vests would decorate the boards with fake leaf garlands, laminated smiling pumpkins and things were orange. The bright summer sky is turned down to a candle lit glow.

1] Because every woman is a princess.

2]

3] NEVER STOP DREAMING. NEVER GIVE UP.

4] British thoughts. Notting Hill (as a child, this was my favorite Julia Roberts movie).

5] We have this hope, that burns within our hearts

6] Prague Dreams

7]

8] This is a lovely thing to say to or about someone

9] More from Notting Hill: She, Elvis Costello

10] Sonam Kapoor (love her makeup, hair and outfit)

11] Welcome Autumn!

Will of God

By: Gabriela Yareliz

Today’s quotes from Testimonies for the Church, vol. 1, by Ellen G. White:

“I committed myself to the Lord, ready to do His bidding whatever that might be.” {1T 65.2}

“I felt a constant assurance that I was doing the will of God, and saw marked results attending my efforts.” – {1T 65.3}

Non guardarmi così

By: Gabriela Yareliz

Ciao my friends!
Sometimes, there are things that make you feel slightly uncomfortable, maybe insecure and a little lost. Oh, the liberty when you set it aside and decide it no longer has your energy and focus!

Let go of whatever brings you down or makes you lost, whether it be a thought, a person, a dynamic or a situation.

I am trying to learn:

Never forget what you are capable of doing and what is worth having. Never forget your worth.

Never stop dreaming, and don’t forget your dreams of the past.

(In a Zero Assoluto mood)

Beyond Knowledge

By: Ellen G. White

Wait upon the Lord in faith. The Lord draws out the soul in prayer, and gives us to feel His precious love. We have a nearness to Him, and can hold sweet communion with Him. We obtain distinct views of His tenderness and compassion, and our hearts are broken and melted with contemplation of the love that is given to us. We feel indeed an abiding Christ in the soul…. Our peace is like a river, wave after wave of glory rolls into the heart, and indeed we sup with Jesus and He with us. We have a realizing sense of the love of God, and we rest in His love. No language can describe it, it is beyond knowledge. {Hvn 176.1}
