“Are you the one who is to come? Or shall we look for another?” Luke 7:19 By: Gabriela Yareliz Those were the words spoken by John’s messengers. John the Baptist, that is. Yes. I know what you are thinking. John the Baptist, the same guy Bible movies portray as a lunatic caveman, with hair thatContinue reading “Are You The One?”

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.

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.

Monday Inspiration: March 28, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz From a productive weekend to, what I hope will be, a productive week. Happy week. We begin anew. Last week was absolutely dreadful and draining. Not sure how I survived it, but by the grace of God and my mother’s wisdom, I am still standing. It was a loud week; a headache-inducing,Continue reading “Monday Inspiration: March 28, 2016”
