Facing Loss
By: Gabriela Yareliz Some nights, I listen to Delilah on the radio. Old habits that stay a lifetime, I guess. There is something soothing about her voice and wisdom when night falls. Stories and old favorite songs float around in the darkness as slumber finally seduces the senses into stillness. I love the stories, andContinue reading “Facing Loss”
Falling
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was walking through the village, and I saw a little brown leaf falling in front of me (I looked up and smiled). This year, I have promised myself that I will go to a park and enjoy the leaves when they are in all of their fall glory. My timing is always wrong. I go beforeContinue reading “Falling”
Hold on
Because faith is not a feeling… From Ellen G. White “After Praying, Continue to Claim the Promise—After the prayer is made, if the answer is not realized immediately, do not weary of waiting and become unstable. Waver not. Cling to the promise, ‘Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it.’ Like theContinue reading “Hold on”
The Lord will provide
Based on Tony Evans: Jehovah Jireh-The Lord Will Provide message (click here to listen) Sometimes, a condition to a blessing is action. God provides when He sees us act in faith. Jireh, means to see. Provision requires pre-vision. “It’s when He [God] sees, that He provides.” “Could it be you’ve been waiting for five years for something GodContinue reading “The Lord will provide”
For the Seeker

The priests had arrested Jesus, and wanted to “get rid of Him” in the most discrete manner, while the people were preoccupied with Passover. Pontius Pilate was the Roman ruling in Judea, and his wife came to him disturbedContinue reading “For the Seeker”
Restored in Victory
By: Gabriela Yareliz Have you ever been in a situation where you feel like you are doing everything in your power to accomplish something, and it’s still not enough? I think we all have. Whether it’s a school project, trying to break a bad habit or simply making changes in our lives. Apparently, some waterContinue reading “Restored in Victory”
Squeaky Clean
By: Gabriela Yareliz Cleaning up is not always fun. It can be relaxing (bubble bath) or hurt it can hurt (paper cut and hand sanitizer–anyone?). Those of us blessed with showers have it a lot easier, but cleaning can be complicated and require heavy buckets, a well or an unpleasant cold experience. Whatever the caseContinue reading “Squeaky Clean”
Becoming a Blessing
By: Gabriela Yareliz “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birdsContinue reading “Becoming a Blessing”
Walking in step
By: Gabriela Yareliz We often think about genuineness. We think about and try to define true success, true beauty, true fashion, true love, true art, true fame, true athleticism, and even how true the weather prediction will be for the next day. Sometimes, I think we worry about the genuineness of things and concepts thatContinue reading “Walking in step”
