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”

Sick-Day Sabbath #2

I have sneezed so much, I am afraid I am going to sprain my neck or something. Unfortunately, I am sick, and fortunately, trapped indoors. Today, I was sneezing at a symposium (the photo above is from today–the one moment I was not sneezing). The symposium talked a lot about John Milton’s Paradise Lost. IContinue reading “Sick-Day Sabbath #2”

By: Gabriela Yareliz So today, God exceeded all of my expectations. #speechless Moral of the story? While I am over here having some weird mini heart attack, He is working in my favor.
