By: Gabriela Yareliz This hellish little week had to be over at some point, right? I hope you accomplished everything on your list (I am very much a list person; maybe you have another way you tackle your tasks). It’s time for some self care. If you are a woman, then maybe this means makingContinue reading “Friday Glee: October 23, 2015”

Monday Inspiration: October 5, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello, my people! On Friday, I spent a good amount of time fighting with my umbrella in torrential rains. Thank God I wear shorts under my skirts because the wind was looking for its next Marilyn.

Knowing Your Commitment
By: Gabriela Yareliz Oftentimes, when we think of (Simon) Peter, we think of the things he said to Jesus. Jesus once told him, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again,Continue reading “Knowing Your Commitment”
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”

Many go; whether broke, well off, employed, unemployed– August is jet-set time. I got lucky that I got a special gift from above (after all, the Bible says all goodContinue reading “Bar Trip”

Hebrews 11:23-29English Standard Version (ESV) 23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents,Continue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #35”
How the Sequel Began: Part II
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was standing on the street waiting. I was waiting for the real estate agents who were supposed to meet me at that particular apartment. It was the day right after the traumatic two-day bar exam marathon. As I waited on the hot, sunny sidewalk, I observed the rundown but bursting atContinue reading “How the Sequel Began: Part II”
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”
