By: Gabriela Yareliz Changes are interesting, and they are particularly interesting when they are a more “permanent” kind of change. This summer was great (I have so many photos and insights to share post-bar exam; I promise, it’s coming soon). Summer is about to conclude with the bar exam. I still think of the yearContinue reading “The Sequel Begins”

Reflections Before Bedtime #32
By: Gabriela Yareliz I have been thinking, and I think I have realized that maybe the easiest way we realize we don’t believe something will happen is when we don’t dream about it at all or envision it. Nothing new there. But it’s weird when you come to that realization– that perhaps there is aContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #32”
On the Road (a non-Kerouac version)
“But why think about that when all the golden lands ahead of you and all kinds of unforseen events wait lurking to surprise you and make you glad you’re alive to see?” Jack Kerouac, On the Road By: Gabriela Yareliz Don’t worry. I won’t start talking about how I saw God on the roadContinue reading “On the Road (a non-Kerouac version)”
Monday Inspiration: April 20, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz This weekend: I went to a beach in Long Island by impulsively stepping into a van that looks like an Access-a-Ride (totally unplanned trip); made it to the beach, but it was too cold to stand outside; got stuck in crazy traffic on a bridge as we were making our way back into Manhattan; a girlContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: April 20, 2015”
One Step At A Time
By: Gabriela Yareliz The problem is we always want the best and most worthy things to come fast. But they don’t come fast; they never do, nor should they. No matter how life seems to break you, even still, it is preparing you for where God wants to take you.
Reflections Before Bedtime #19
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes in life, we make the mistake of thinking that people will have to come around to respecting and accepting us and our ways of thought. It doesn’t always happen, obviously. We know this, but it stings a little when it unfolds in real life. People owe us nothing, and best ofContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #19”
Reflections Before Bedtime #17
By: Gabriela Yareliz “God is not the author of confusion. He likes happy endings.” Tess There is beauty in choice, and there is no beauty in settling or resignation. I pray that you make the choice that brings God’s peace and joy into your life; a choice that inspires you to live out your purpose.
Reflections Before Bedtime #16
By: Gabriela Yareliz Greetings! There was a fresh coat of snow on the city today. The sidewalks where the vendors set up were shoveled and sprayed down (less trash than usual, and no vomit on the streets). The non-vendor parts of the sidewalk were dangerously icy and silently waiting like a trap for any unassumingContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #16”
Reflections Before Bedtime #14
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was just reflecting on the past couple of weeks. Man, 2015 has been so intense. It has been a test for me; mentally, spiritually and physically. This past week, I almost missed class twice because my body ignored all alarms, and I kept sleeping. Exhausted much? My 90-day Bible Challenge hasContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #14”
Reflections Before Bedtime #11
“But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.” Psalm 69:13 (From day 38 of my 90-day challenge) In about eight weeks, life is going to feel like I am jumping off of a cliff withContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #11”
