Featured on Yahoo! is an article about a man who wrote a research paper about the odds of finding his soulmate in London. He was left with a percentage that left him with 26 women. Hilariously, he is marrying this week, despite his unfavorable odds.
If he thought his odds were low, try the new stats from Adventist World Magazine, 1:407 ratio of SDAs to non-SDAs. This is why we leave things to God and providence.
“The beauty of love is that it is not the fruit of calculation.” Federico Moccia
Lead me in Thy truth, and teach me: for Thou art the God of my salvation; on Thee do I wait all the day. Psalm 25:5
For with Thee is the fountain of life; in Thy light shall we see light. Psalm 36:9
Commit thy way unto The Lord, trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5 Seek for God and Truth, always. Know that God knows your deepest desires and the dreams He has placed within your soul.
Just as He knows your inner being, He will provide for you. He sees eternity; He wants your well being.
This week, don’t forget to live. Meet a stranger, try something new, smell the roses, literally.
Rest in His hands knowing He has plans for you. Plans to prosper you and give you a life, that when you reach the end, you will see many of His purposes.
Let us always be grateful and sensitive to when God speaks to us. Sometimes the slightest thing is a wink from the Almighty.

Bollywood certainly made their presence felt. The best cinema culture in the world (according to meh).
I am so proud of their achievements. Go India!

I love you mom. See you soon!

So, there are more important things in life than this, obviously. I am dreamy and filmy, however. I have enjoyed the art, taste and elegance exhibited at Cannes this year. Cannes shows the best of the best. It is true art, passion and class on display. Bollywood has made its presence known; and beautifully.
I find many of these people embody their brilliance and talent, and do such extraordinary work. The are unique about their roles and work on projects they believe in. What a feeling to be at Cannes! To celebrate your work and see what you wrote or directed be reacted to. It is also a time to celebrate those we see as representations of ourselves in the characters they play; they move us, show us things we thought of but could not put together and inspire us to dream. (–And some just show up to look pretty!)

The end of 1L year. By God’s grace we have made it through.
Thank you Jesus, for all the amazing blessings. Thank you for dreaming big dreams for us, and for caring so much for us that you make a plan for our lives. Thank you, because if we are willing, you guide us along the path to marvelous things.
I have had such a marvelous time at my school, in this profession, and I have met extraordinary people. I have seen God’s hand move and protect me; I have seen His love and care for me through every person who expressed their love and concern for me, and who had me in their prayers. I have seen miracles. I have been healed. I have missed the most important people in my life. I have befriended what seemed like the impossible.
I want to say thank you to all of you who read this blog. My blog has reached an extraordinary amount of views from literally all around the world, and I feel so blessed by that. Some subscribe, some bookmark me, others have my entries emailed to them, some have me on Google or WordPress reader, others just google “how will gabriela end” (which I have no idea what they mean… but they end up here)–
Thank you for reading what I write. My blog is not exactly a niche blog. I don’t talk about the same thing all the time. I think the blog is a reflection of a part of me. I am not the girl with the same hairstyle, style, hair cut and makeup everyday. Each day is a new invention. Each day has a different theme. In the same way, some days I am thinking of weddings, other days I am thinking of Bollywood philosophy, sometimes its a good song, a movie, a quote, some piece of art (fashion or photography) or something deeper.
If you review my blog, the majority of tags are religion/theology topics. Granted, that is what I believe life revolves around. It is an aspect of my life that fills every other. Often times the philosophy I find in movies, books, songs and quotes often reflects some sort of deeper message. I am a serious person, but at the same time light-hearted and creative.
I hope that each person who visits this site, leaves inspired by something. I hope you continue to find something to laugh about, something to learn more about and most of all, something to think about.
Thank you.
XoXoXo.
Truly yours.

Don’t be afraid to dream. Don’t over analyze; just trust that if God places a dream in your heart, He will bring it to pass. Don’t ask or try to find logic because He can work the impossible.
