The Gates of the Forest

By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, Elie Wiesel passed away, at the age of 87. Most of us remember his memoirs and the Night Trilogy. That death march in the book Night is one that few forget. I have been fascinated by Wiesel’s writing and thoughts on religion. Being a survivor of the Holocaust hints to theContinue reading “The Gates of the Forest”

Sunday Girl/Reflections: June 5, 2016

 By: Gabriela Yareliz I’ll try not to make this a rambling post, but I am just spilling out of my glass right now; overwhelmed with so much– good and bad. I feel it has been a while since I came by these parts. Life has been insanely busy. I feel like I barely sleep, andContinue reading “Sunday Girl/Reflections: June 5, 2016”

Monday Inspiration: May 30, 3016

“He would not let the fear rise, nor hope falter, nor defeat be entered in his thoughts.” C.S. Lewis // Dymer, Canto 3.17 By: Gabriela Yareliz There is a very real fear that abides in many of us– a fear that He, the Almighty God of the universe may pass us by or not hearContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: May 30, 3016”

Thursday Badinage: May 19, 2016

I am stuck in a long line that is not moving. So painful. So, I thought I would catch up on some reading materials. I saw this quote on the lovely Kusha Alagband’s Instagram. “I am not quite sure if I believe in the Law of Attraction. There were things I wanted in my lifeContinue reading “Thursday Badinage: May 19, 2016”

Reflections Before Bedtime #86

By: Gabriela Yareliz I hope we can remember, as Job did, that God’s majesty is unsearchable… “By His power He stilled the sea…” (Job 26:12) Job basically says that as long as we have breath in us, the spirit of God is in our nostrils (Job 27:3). May we hold fast to wisdom and holdContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #86”

A Love That Seeks

By: Gabriela Yareliz This morning, I was reading about how God loves and pursues us. The way He romances our souls and goes after us. “Marriage stands for the creation of unity among two people who were once separated in every way before love reached out and found the other– the way God reached outContinue reading “A Love That Seeks”

Thursday Badinage: May 12, 2016

By: Gabriela Yareliz God promises, “I will heal your faithlessness.” Jeremiah 3:22 I pray God heals my unbelief and gives me more of the gift of faith. “Behold, we come to You, for You are the Lord our God.” Jeremiah 3:22 His is the honor, the glory, the power. All things are in Him andContinue reading “Thursday Badinage: May 12, 2016”

Are You The One?

“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?”

Sunday Girl: May 8, 2016

Excerpt from a letter to friends: My greatest prayer is: “[T]hat the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which HeContinue reading “Sunday Girl: May 8, 2016”
