A Love That Seeks

By: Gabriela Yareliz This morning, I was reading about how God loves and pursues us. The way He romances our souls and goes after us. “Marriage stands for the creation of unity among two people who were once separated in every way before love reached out and found the other– the way God reached outContinue reading “A Love That Seeks”

Thursday Badinage: May 12, 2016

By: Gabriela Yareliz God promises, “I will heal your faithlessness.” Jeremiah 3:22 I pray God heals my unbelief and gives me more of the gift of faith. “Behold, we come to You, for You are the Lord our God.” Jeremiah 3:22 His is the honor, the glory, the power. All things are in Him andContinue reading “Thursday Badinage: May 12, 2016”

By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello my fellow warriors. Monday is upon us. I hope you have an amazing start to your week. My weekend was lovely. It was a time of fellowship and laughter; of encouragement, family and love. It’s in moments like these that we experience strange types of healing. Something you can’t even pointContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: May 2, 2016”

End

By: Gabriela Yareliz I keep being reminded that if I believe and have faith, I need to stop acting and behaving like this is the end or certain things are final. This is not it. The picture is bigger than this. In fact, I am just getting started. I am going to take back whatContinue reading “End”

Reflections Before Bedtime #84

By: Gabriela Yareliz Excerpt from a letter to my mother earlier in the day: I was on the train, and I brought my Bible. I opened it and began reading in the book of Jeremiah. This is a man whose life scares me the most because it’s evidence that life can be so much lessContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #84”

Monday Inspiration: April 18, 2016

By: Gabriela Yareliz I was walking with headphones in (listening to the TED Radio Hour podcast on NPR), when I heard a sound. I turned. A block away, a child, who was maybe 6 years old, had fallen and was wailing hysterically. The fall was loud. So loud, I heard it a block away. OnContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: April 18, 2016”

Monday Inspiration: April 11, 2016

By: Gabriela Yareliz This week is going to be like climbing a mountain. Monday was the “strap-on-the-backpack” day. And how about those taxes? *eyes as big as tomatoes* Adulting is hard. Learning things and trying to figure out life when you don’t quite understand what the heck you are doing… That requires bravery, my friends.Continue reading “Monday Inspiration: April 11, 2016”

Reflections Before Bedtime #81

By: Gabriela Yareliz I just finished what is probably one of the best books I have read in years: Just Mercy, by Bryan Stevenson. Attorney Stevenson’s non-fiction account of many of the cases he took on to save people from execution on death row are haunting, memorable– and pretty much each story will fill your eyesContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #81”

Monday Inspiration: April 4, 2016

By: Gabriela Yareliz Who knows what this week holds in store for us. I just pray that whatever comes, we will be ready to face it. This weekend, it was windy and springish, until Saturday night, which quickly turned into torrential rains and air that chills you to the bone. At 4 am Sunday, theContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: April 4, 2016”

Reflections Before Bedtime #80

“I knew when I met her that she was so extraordinary and special. And then, I wondered if I’d ever get a chance to date her.” George Clooney being adorable. When I saw this quote of George Clooney gushing over his wife, I smiled. It’s not the first cute George Clooney quote I post. IContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #80”
