This Month’s Picks: September 2014

It’s official–October, baby! Life continues at its slow-fast pace. Life can be looked at in different ways. It can turn into a waiting game. It can turn into a list of things to do. It can turn into a dream. It can turn into a telescope into the future. It can be an adventure. It canContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: September 2014”

JOURNEY

Soundtrack to the post: Journey  1. an act of traveling from one place to another. [Free Dictionary] By: Gabriela Yareliz Perhaps, even when we think we are moving aimlessly, things have a purpose; even what seems small, insignificant and random.

How to Deal

By: Gabriela Yareliz I remember one particular afternoon, where I was sitting in my high school adviser’s office. My high school adviser was and is a friend; someone I would talk to about concerns and life in general– not just school stuff. I was sitting back in a chair chewing on a candy from his glass jar and complainingContinue reading “How to Deal”

There’s the neighbor who you believe neverContinue reading “#Neighbors”

All About Your Heart

By: Gabriela Yareliz I thought I would actually write something; a short note perhaps. The semester is ending. Time is just running like sand between our fingers. It feels like we are on a car that is on fire heading toward a finish line that is actually made of caution tape. Life has been veryContinue reading “All About Your Heart”

Who we are supposed to be

Quotes by Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 2 “We are forbidden to wrong our neighbor in anything. We should not view the matter from the worldling’s standpoint. To deal with our fellow men in every instance just as we should wish them to deal with us is a rule which we shouldContinue reading “Who we are supposed to be”
