Love Right Now

Holiness is an important aspect and attribute of God, and it’s important for us to allow God to make us holy, if we really are to reflect who He is.

Sunday Girl: January 29, 2017

This is how 2016 began and ended

By: Gabriela Yareliz I started off the year feeling like I was punched several times in the stomach and knocked to my knees to cough up blood.

Sunday Girl: September 25, 2016

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s like someone flipped a switch. Autumn began with the cutest Google animation of little rocks eating a leaf (did anyone else see the adorableness?), and then, BAM,  sixty-degree weather that makes your nose run. I was almost stranded in Jersey City last night with a shut-down Path train station, and aContinue reading “Sunday Girl: September 25, 2016”

Monday Inspiration: September 12, 2016

By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Monday! I saw a sign that said: “I run on caffeine, chaos and cuss words.” So cheesy. But, it made me wonder– what do I run on? We all run on something; especially on Mondays. What are your three things? I guess mine sign would say: “I run on vegan/gluten free proteinContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: September 12, 2016”
