Give Us

“Give us this day our daily bread.” Matthew 6:11 By: Gabriela Yareliz I was listening to an old Kidd Kraddick in the Morning podcast from 2013. Kidd Kraddick was still alive and was the main host of the radio show. He was reading a letter sent in from a woman who had been struggling financially.Continue reading “Give Us”

Success, Virgin Births And Ordinary Miracles

By: Gabriela Yareliz This past week, I was listening to a “Pocket Pardon My French” podcast, by Garance Doré, about the meaning of success. This is a word and yardstick that tortures young adults and adults, alike. It’s the stuff children’s dreams are made of. Garance spoke about how true success, to her, is knowingContinue reading “Success, Virgin Births And Ordinary Miracles”

Thursday Badinage: August 18, 2016

“For God is not merely mending, not simply restoring a status quo. Redeemed humanity is to be something more glorious than unfallen humanity would have been, more glorious than any unfallen race now is (if at this moment the night sky conceals any such). The greater the sin, the greater the mercy: the deeper theContinue reading “Thursday Badinage: August 18, 2016”

Joseph-In-Prison Moment

By: Gabriela Yareliz I started 2016 feeling cursed. Yes, I said cursed. I am being candid, here. I write some of this with edgy humor, by the way. Bear with me. From week one, 2016 was a mess… There will be a fun, 2016 recap post at the end of the year. It has beenContinue reading “Joseph-In-Prison Moment”

You have to give me the details! She cuts gorgeous… Don’t stop going to her!” (E) 11:24: “What are you doing in that closet?” (T) 11:24:Continue reading “The Hours: July 30, 2016”

Monday Inspiration: July 25, 2016

*Pulls out orange autumn leaf and grins* “We have this one little life, and for a lot of it, we just blow around in the wind. But if we are lucky, and we believe that life knows what’s best for us– sometimes, we land on the right someone to talk to.” Riley Matthews (Girl MeetsContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: July 25, 2016”

Tuesday Badinage: July 19, 2016

By: Gabriela Yareliz Yesterday, I got to go to the prettiest part of Long Island. It was gorgeous; one of those neighborhoods that makes you want to bake apple pies, wear an apron, and buy matching napkin rings for a long table. There was a large park with lots of green grass and a gorgeousContinue reading “Tuesday Badinage: July 19, 2016”

Sex (and the City)?

The ladies from Sex and the City By: Gabriela Yareliz [All images from Tumblr] Don’t worry– this is not a post about the ridiculously self-centered women of the HBO hit show. Nor is this a sex column, à la Carrie Bradshaw. I was on the train this morning, and I saw so many advertisements andContinue reading “Sex (and the City)?”

Sunday Girl/Reflections: June 5, 2016

 By: Gabriela Yareliz I’ll try not to make this a rambling post, but I am just spilling out of my glass right now; overwhelmed with so much– good and bad. I feel it has been a while since I came by these parts. Life has been insanely busy. I feel like I barely sleep, andContinue reading “Sunday Girl/Reflections: June 5, 2016”
