By: Gabriela Yareliz In a time where discernment is everything (so seeking God’s wisdom is paramount), we decide whether we stay in darkness. Scripture illustrates often how those who choose blindness, darkness, and pride are permitted by God to keep it. If you choose blindness, you will get to stay blind. If you choose toContinue reading “You Keep Your Choice”

This Week’s Update
By: Gabriela Yareliz There we were, J and me, memorizing Super Bass by Nicki Minaj for our law school clinic’s talent show/ karaoke night in this tiny basement establishment in Greenwich Village. I can still rap parts of it. This week, I was heartened to see the greatest female rapper of our time address theContinue reading “This Week’s Update”
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? I guess what is worse is when you end up walking against a gust that makes you levitate. Everyone who has been in NYC knows these streets turn into wind tunnels.Continue reading “Winds Unleashed”
A Betting Person
“Faith is not being sure. It is not being sure, but betting with your last cent.” Mary Jean Irion By: Gabriela Yareliz Life is brimming with uncertainty.

Kairos lets go.” Sarah Ban Breathnach By: Gabriela Yareliz Time and growth. There has been an insistent pattern in my reading about both lately. The theme has been aboutContinue reading “The Essential for the Pilgrimage”
Mobile Vibe Shifter
By: Gabriela Yareliz It was one of those mornings where I was in a rush. So much so that I had forgotten to put on deodorant. (I hate those days when this accidentally happens). I ran out like a lunatic, and as I made my way to the train station, I heard music. It wasContinue reading “Mobile Vibe Shifter”

Just Shoot Me! Nina Van Horn is forever an icon. I have been rewatching with my husband inContinue reading “Forgiveness”
“A Culture in Turmoil”
“Charlie Kirk was a human being. He was a dad and a father. His wife is now a widow. His two children, because of how young they are, will not have a personal memory of their dad. That’s been stolen from them by someone who thought they had the right to kill another human being.Continue reading ““A Culture in Turmoil””
Father
By: Gabriela Yareliz Alex Ikonn asked Asma Khan how she became a confident and secure woman filled with so much love; how she grew to have self-love. Her answer moved me. She said, “I believed my father.” No matter who your father is/was, what I find comforting is we have a Heavenly Father who hasContinue reading “Father”
