Some Thursday Inspiration

“Time is a liar. Stop letting the calendar tell you what’s possible. It doesn’t know who you are. It has no clue what’s still alive for you. Culture measures age in years. It tells us to grow older and grow up. To be reasonable. To trade aliveness for safety. But maturity is not measured byContinue reading “Some Thursday Inspiration”

Winds Unleashed

By: Gabriela Yareliz The wind has been jogging my memory, lately. Have you ever been on a walk and been pushed by the wind?

Daring to be Alive

By: Gabriela Yareliz There has been so much pain and heaviness this month. I have wanted to come close and write but have sort of been at a loss for words.

By: Gabriela Yareliz My mind has still be stirring with thoughts on service (that and the Johnny Depp trial). I have been enjoying the book Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver.

Almanac Note: The Robin

By: Gabriela Yareliz Robins have always been my favorite bird. They were always perched by my window just around my birthday in Michigan, while growing up. So, imagine my joy when I saw a little section dedicated to the Robin in my little British Almanac. I learned they are one of the few birds thatContinue reading “Almanac Note: The Robin”

A Word On Prayer

By: Gabriela Yareliz A lot of resources and messages have come together for me pertaining to prayer. I feel this is no accident. It’s like God is trying to teach me something new in this season. Something more effective. A better connection with the authority and power of Heaven. Throughout the week, the phrase “takeContinue reading “A Word On Prayer”

The Strength for Some Madness

By: Gabriela Yareliz My boyfriend is very gifted and artistic— it really shines when it comes to food. He makes things that are so delicious but also knows how to present them on a plate. He can make sparkling water next-level, you know what I mean? He found this show on Netflix called Chef’s TableContinue reading “The Strength for Some Madness”
