This Month’s Picks: November 2014

By: Gabriela Yareliz November, November, November. You have given me unexpected gifts, and for that I am grateful. I was pressing some  little purple flowers in a book, and I thought, it’s funny how something so temporary, like a flower, can have its beauty preserved, even after it’s lifeless. I once had a discussion with a friend who said there wasContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: November 2014”

Last Registration

By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, we 3Ls registered for our last set of law school classes. (I am so excited!) Graduation is gettin’ real, quick. Many of us don’t know what lies ahead, and some things may seem like detours or things that weren’t in our plans… “When God is getting ready to move you, in orderContinue reading “Last Registration”

That One Thing

By: Gabriela Yareliz Many times, we try to give God a lot of things in our lives and different parts of us. We also hold some things back. What is it that God wants from us? “O my son, give me your heart. May your eyes take delight in following my ways.” Proverbs 23:26 WhenContinue reading “That One Thing”

Monday Inspiration: October 27, 2014

[Look at the week with the confidence of Inspector Clouseau.] By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello, hello! Last week of October. We’ve survived. We made it. It’s been a sniffley, sleep-deprived, couple of weeks. I just finished a project on international law and torture. I was confirming the spelling of a terrorist group, and I felt nervous whileContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 27, 2014”

Monday Inspiration: October 20, 2014

  By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Monday to all. Enjoy this week as October is in all of its fullness because next week is the last week of this fantastic, action-packed little month. It’s chilly out, skin starts feeling different (extra-moisture lotion!) and lip balm is needed. Autumn is in the middle of its parade, the sky is dimmingContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 20, 2014”

Hero

By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, we discourage people even though we mean well. Often, we can’t see when people are really unhappy because all we see is what we want for them. We keep pushing them out of love, not out of malice, because we think we know what is best. I heard Wilson Wilson Jr. tell Tim Taylor a quote: “You don’tContinue reading “Hero”

This Month’s Picks: August 2014

By: Gabriela Yareliz This month took forever. I have been drafting this post for so long, I was surprised to see some of my “picks” (it feels like I found them ages ago). August is one of those get-up-to-speed months. A month of warmth and cooling temperatures. One of the last green months. A month of deadlines. A monthContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: August 2014”
