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.

Dark Tunnels

By: Gabriela Yareliz I was sitting on the train, looking out at the dark, graffiti-filled tunnels it goes through.

#MoodAmyCarmichael

       “To the glory of His name let me witness that in far away lands, in loneliness (deepest sometimes when it seems least so), in times of downheartedness and tiredness and sadness, always always He is near.
