Reflections Before Bedtime #23

By: Gabriela Yareliz The fact that this is my 23rd reflection is ironic and perfect. It’s like a lot of those things in life that we don’t plan, but they happen at the right moment. We age, day by day, and it is a privilege we must embrace to grow our souls into flourishing gardens. IContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #23”

Reflections Before Bedtime #22

By: Gabriela Yareliz My random thoughts of the night: Life surprises us in the wildest ways. We make plans, God laughs (that kind of thing). Sometimes, dreaming big can cost you, literally, but then faith comes through to repay all debts. Maybe, when we think we are lost, if we look close enough, we realize thatContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #22”

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”
