“Because the Christian life isn’t just a beautiful beginning. It’s a pilgrimage. There are stretches of joy, but there’s also struggle, weariness, temptation, and moments when everything in us wants to turn back. That’s why remaining in Christ requires perseverance. It requires remembering, again and again, where the journey began: in grace. It was graceContinue reading “Grace for the Pilgrimage”

Asked for a Sign
And got it. By: Gabriela Yareliz Yesterday, I heard Dr. Edie speak, and her words touched my heart. Deeply. I went out for a walk, and I had that warm feeling— that feeling when you go, I think God just spoke to me just now. It stayed on my mind. Sometimes, we are faced withContinue reading “Asked for a Sign”
This Week’s Favorites 08.28.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz Next week, we’ll start September. Everyone keeps asking where summer went. I don’t know. My seasonal transitional cleaning is underway. Yesterday, I wiped down the kitchen cabinets, sorted through cans and refreshed extermination tools. I am satisfied with what I accomplished this week. This week, we lost many people, including the legendaryContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.28.26”
This Week’s Favorites 08.21.26
I saw parents dropping off their kids to some of their last 9 am taekwondo classes before classes start up here. (Classes start so late here—) You could feel the end of summer hanging in the cool 68F air after yesterday’s rainstorm, flooding and apparently, Long Island tornado. Back to school reminds me of theContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.21.26”
Reflections on an Equation
By: Gabriela Yareliz There is no good greater than God’s presence. And so much of life becomes a question of what evil, and sometimes what mediocre, lesser good are we willing to surrender for the greatest good of all— to see His face. To stand in His presence for eternity and to worship. So muchContinue reading “Reflections on an Equation”

Hellloooo my summer chickadees, What a week it has been. Here in NYC, we endured the heat wave, legionnaires in the water supply (bless you, UES), The Odyssey premiere (bless you, traffic of the UWS), Canadian wildfire smoke (is the fire punishment for the Canadians killing all those Emus? Kidding— but also not), and lifeContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.18.26”
This Week’s Favorites 07.11.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz I eventually made it home from Nashville. I took a flight from hell with little-to-no AC again (JetBlue), trapped in a seat with parents who had zero control over their children. (And these were not babies— we understand babies). The mom kept shrieking next to me, “MOMMY IS DOING HER BESTTTTT!” IContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.11.26”
Prayer PSA
This is your prayer PSA. I loved reading this as my devotional. A beautiful reminder: “Prayer in Acts is never polite or passive. It’s the mechanism by which ordinary, frightened people access an extraordinary, unshakable God. So, where are you feeling the pressure today? Rather than strategizing, spiraling, or scheming, what if prayer was yourContinue reading “Prayer PSA”
Love Yours
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Love yours,” was spray painted in red on a lamppost as cursive graffiti. An excellent reminder to love your people and also, it reminded me of Emma Grede’s book, Start With Yourself. As we start the week, I want us to focus on how we are actively showing love around us, butContinue reading “Love Yours”
