Waiting
By: Gabriela Yareliz Waiting has been a theme recently. I think my whole week of Glorify App devotionals were about waiting. Then, I heard the sermon Fourteen, about waiting and the transformation in the journey. We have Christmas coming up, which is filled with much anticipation and waiting. It reminds us we are waiting forContinue reading “Waiting”
Winds Unleashed
By: Gabriela Yareliz The wind has been jogging my memory, lately. Have you ever been on a walk and been pushed by the wind? I guess what is worse is when you end up walking against a gust that makes you levitate. Everyone who has been in NYC knows these streets turn into wind tunnels.Continue reading “Winds Unleashed”

Ordinary
“Give me ordinary. Give me cups of tea in the backyard and an afternoon so slow I can hear the hummingbirds. Give me time to look at the moon and midday trips to the bookshop.

I walked past it this morning, and felt the warmth radiating from below the chippedContinue reading “A Great Prayer”
A Call to Prayer
By: Gabriela Yareliz At first, I had prepared this as a piece to a post I was going to have go live earlier, but this merits its own post and many more.

When Grief Rips Through
“Let’s not romanticize grief. It is a ghost parade. Sleep doesn’t come. Only reckoning.” Rainier Wylde By: Gabriela Yareliz Grief can stem from so many things or circumstances. It is often tied to death, but it can be tied to addiction, abandonment, loss of time, betrayal, not being understood or loved, and the loss of aContinue reading “When Grief Rips Through”

Kairos lets go.” Sarah Ban Breathnach By: Gabriela Yareliz Time and growth. There has been an insistent pattern in my reading about both lately.
