Monday Inspiration: February 23, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Monday to all of you. I could not get out of bed this morning, but once I did, there was no turning back. The week begins at full speed once that alarm goes off. Time to hustle. This is the last week to make February count for everything it’s worth. ItContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: February 23, 2015”

Dreams & Oceans

By: Gabriela Yareliz Soundtrack to the post: Britt Nicole’s “Set the World on Fire” I’m thinking oceans. I’m thinking sunshine. I’m thinking warmth. We are growing up. But at this point in the game, some of us have to realize that we can’t keep thinking about the adults we want to be; we are adults,Continue reading “Dreams & Oceans”

Reflections Before Bedtime #10

By: Gabriela Yareliz I am sick, sick as a… I’ll spare you the simile. It’s freezing cold. The wind bites; that is how cold it is. So, I stay indoors sipping on tea and kale juice, and sucking on vitamins (because they are too big to swallow *kidding* but they really are too big). Downstairs,Continue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #10”

Who You Are Dealing With

By: Gabriela Yareliz Do you think that God is limited by your name? What school you went to? Where you are? What you’ve done? Where you come from? What others think? Your financial resources? What you look like? If you do, you don’t know who you are dealing with. God’s greatness and the amazing thingsContinue reading “Who You Are Dealing With”

Monday Inspiration: February 16, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Monday! Below-zero temperatures, snow and readings, oh my! Here we are. Just two weeks shy of saying goodbye to this red-heart themed month. I hope you have Presidents Day off. Apparently, the whole city is closed today, except the law school, of course. Time to brave the cold, brave the books,Continue reading “Monday Inspiration: February 16, 2015”

Sunday Girl: February 15, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz I like to find out what things mean. Curiosity…I should have been a cat? Kidding. It’s like the time I didn’t know what pound cake meant. It turns out that pound cake takes a pound of each ingredient (flour, butter, eggs and sugar). Apparently, the expression “Life is your oyster,” means: Oysters have aContinue reading “Sunday Girl: February 15, 2015”

Remembering Thursday: February 12, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz It really was a Goliath of a Wednesday. Life changes in an instant. Today, some walked in victory like David before Goliath; others sat innocently in a prison of life as Joseph once did before God fulfilled his dreams; others were in pain surrendering their greatest blessing in order to reap theContinue reading “Remembering Thursday: February 12, 2015”

Wednesday Musings: February 11, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello fellow survivors of this world. I hope your week is going splendidly. This week, I have been so impressed with how God orchestrates paths to cross for people to help each other. It’s weird how in a person’s most desperate time, he or she might stumble upon another who wants to walk alongsideContinue reading “Wednesday Musings: February 11, 2015”

Monday Inspiration: February 9, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz Greetings! It’s a Wintry-Mix Sunday/Monday. Let’s get pumped for an awesome week! Ready? “They tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds.” Mexican Proverb “If you wear the wrong glasses, you won’t see things correctly.” Dr. Tony Evans “Yet one thing secures us whatever betide, the scriptures assure us thatContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: February 9, 2015”
