This Week’s Picks: February 11, 2013

By: Gabriela Yareliz

Hi everyone! This week has been absolutely insane. We have an appellate brief project that I should be working on as we speak, but my mind is so exhausted. I don’t want to read a case for a bit… just take a break; so, I thought… why not do this week’s picks?

1.

I walked through Soho today. At one point, air smelled like Shalimar, then, it smelled like Nuts 4 Nuts, and then, divine smell was wafting through the street (It was similar to the smell of Teen Vogue magazines in 2003).

I walked down to Little Italy. They had marvelous hearts made from roses hanging on restaurant windows.

2. Ask God to make His dreams your dreams, because you are His dream.

Cutest song of the moment.

9. Jon Stewart’s Love for Ronaiah Tuiasosopo 🙂 Makes me laugh every time.

Renew

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:2

“The part man has to act in salvation of the soul is to believe on Jesus Christ as a perfect Redeemer, not for some other man, but for His own self. He is to trust, to love, to fear the God of heaven. There is a certain work to be accomplished. Man must be delivered from the power of sin. He must be made perfect in every good work. In doing the words of Christ is his only assurance that his house is built upon the solid foundation. To hear, to say, to preach, and not to do the words of Christ is building upon sand.” Elder E.P. Daniels and the Fresno Chruch, pp. 8, 9

Quote of the week:
Professor: “So _______, can you tell me what the dissent thinks?”
Student: “Well, the dissent does not agree…”
(Class bursts into laughter)
PS. That student was not me, but I won’t put a name to it. Oh, the sleep deprivation… this is what it leads to.

Before the throne of God above

Performed by: Selah

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea
A great high Priest whose Name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His hands
My name is written on His heart
I know that while in heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart

When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me

Behold Him there the risen Lamb
My perfect spotless righteousness
The great unchangeable I am
The King of glory and of grace
One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God!
With Christ my Savior and my God!

One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God!
With Christ my Savior and my God!

Eternal Law


By: Elle G. White
“The law of God existed before man was created. The angels were governed by it. Satan fell because he transgressed the principles of God’s government. After Adam and Eve were created, God made known to them His law. It was not then written, but was rehearsed to them by Jehovah. – {SR 145.1}
The Sabbath of the fourth commandment was instituted in Eden. After God had made the world and created man upon the earth, He made the Sabbath for man. After Adam’s sin and fall nothing was taken from the law of God. The principles of the Ten Commandments existed before the fall and were of a character suited to the condition of a holy order of beings. After the fall the principles of those precepts were not changed, but additional precepts were given to meet man in his fallen state.” – {SR 145.2, Ellen G. White}

Sick-day Sabbath

By: Gabriela Yareliz

Today, I am anti-social and sick. I feel better than I did last night. I hope this is as bad as it gets, because believe me, at school the last two rows of my property class are like the cloud of death. Everyone sneezing and coughing.

I have been taking weird concoctions of wheatgrass, vitamin C and echinacea. I have been sanitizing everything, and yet I am here–it could be worse though.

So, because I missed church today, I thought I would post some stuff that inspired me today.

1. Life is like a vehicle. There is no reverse, but don’t speed… just enjoy the ride.

2. “Nothing else matters anymore, than knowing you are fulfilling the purpose for which you were placed on the Earth–because once you have that, you are now alive.” Tony Evans

5. Tony Evan’s: The Concept of Calling, Part I

Sometimes, in life you feel you are blindfolded on the edge of a cliff–but the just shall live by faith.

This week’s picks: Jan. 28, 2013 (last of January)

By: Gabriela Yareliz
This week has been so strange. It has been overwhelming. More reading, assignments and cold calls than ever. I got an offer and accepted a fantastic internship that I never imagined I would be working in (thanks for the prayers guys), and I helped head up a panel that was a complete success, thank God.

Also, I will admit the heart has been feeling fly– it has been an excellent week. Very overwhelming but soarin’.

My friend/doorman told me this week: Don’t believe anything is impossible, because with God, all things are possible. Even when there is no human way out and everything looks crazy or you feel trapped, it is only an illusion. The sea will be opened for you.

Believe in the impossible; expect the unexpected; never give up; be humble; allow providence to unfold.
