Open Roses

By: Gabriela Yareliz Life is continual growth. Life is like a rose. Suddenly, some insecurities begin to fade; things we weren’t sure we liked about ourselves, about others; imperfections that needed to be dealt with and not just ignored; the path we are walking without a clear view of the future… And as we continue toContinue reading “Open Roses”

Tough Stuff

       “Life is tough, my darling, but so are you.” S.L. By: Gabriela Yareliz Life is not a car you can just steer in whichever way you want. It’s more like a canoe in a river with a mind of its own.

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
