The Certainty
By: Gabriela Yareliz There are many things in life we are uncertain about. Many times, we just have to learn to cope. Hebrews chapter 6, however, tells us about the certainty of God’s promises. It tells us that God made a promise to Abraham, “and thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise.” (v. 15).Continue reading “The Certainty”
Dark Tunnels
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was sitting on the train, looking out at the dark, graffiti-filled tunnels it goes through. The dark tunnels reminded me of how, oftentimes, in life, when we want to go somewhere, we end up having to travel dark, dark tunnels. Strangely, even in the darkness, there is art and all kindsContinue reading “Dark Tunnels”

The Sequel Begins
By: Gabriela Yareliz Changes are interesting, and they are particularly interesting when they are a more “permanent” kind of change. This summer was great (I have so many photos and insights to share post-bar exam; I promise, it’s coming soon). Summer is about to conclude with the bar exam. I still think of the yearContinue reading “The Sequel Begins”
A Moment With G.K. Chesterton
By: Gabriela Yareliz I have been recently intrigued by G.K. Chesterton. I thought I would share some selected quotes and snippets from his writing. All quotes are the words of G.K. Chesterton: “Men invent new ideals because they dare not attempt old ideals. They look forward with enthusiasm, because they are afraid to look back.”Continue reading “A Moment With G.K. Chesterton”
Independence Day
“God has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense.” C.S. Lewis By: Gabriela Yareliz I believe in a human race that was created with the greatest expression of love which is freedom; freedom to choose. There can be no true love without freedom to make itContinue reading “Independence Day”
Friday Glee: Appreciative Love
“Need-love cries to God from our poverty; Gift-love longs to serve, or even to suffer for, God; Appreciative love says: ‘We give thanks to thee for thy great glory.’ Need-love says of a woman ‘I cannot live without her’; Gift-love longs to give her happiness, comfort, protection – if possible, wealth; Appreciative love gazes andContinue reading “Friday Glee: Appreciative Love”
A.D. The Bible Continues
This is going to be quite the premiere on NBC on Easter Sunday. I have no idea how Biblically accurate it will be, but I would like to check it out. Watching this sneak peek from the series reminded me of my intense journey through the Bible right now. The truth is, the Bible continuesContinue reading “A.D. The Bible Continues”
Friday Glee: March 6, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz This week, I earned the title of detective. The weeks get more intense as they pass by; something that seems impossible until it happens. BUT–it’s Friday. Time to celebrate. The Sabbath has come as an oasis to rescues us from a weird vortex that swallows us. Have some blessed rest. Time to dropContinue reading “Friday Glee: March 6, 2015”
