By: Gabriela Yareliz I was going up the stairs, after getting off of a train. There were so many people, it felt like the people were pushing me up the stairs.

Reflections Before Bedtime #74
“When I remember You upon my bed, and meditate on You in the watches of the night; for You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings I will sing for joy. My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.” Psalm 63:6-8
