Overcome for today

By: Gabriela Yareliz I wanted to share this thought from my devotional today. “The truth of God received into the heart is able to make you wise unto salvation. In believing and obeying it you will receive grace sufficient for the duties and trials of today. Grace for tomorrow you do not need. You shouldContinue reading “Overcome for today”

Athletic

By: Gabriela Yareliz Olympics are gone and out. I love the Olympics. It isn’t even about the athletes competing and doing their amazing things specifically; what gets me the most is how it is so patriotic. I am a sucker for patriotism and doing things to honor your flag and country. I like the ideaContinue reading “Athletic”

New York

By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello world. What can I say? It has been an action packed set of days including driving; my car going up in smoke (RIP Paolo); hens and looking for pliers at Wacahoota, while coolant makes a lake under my car; packing; praying; stuffing duffle bags until they were about to explode; thinkingContinue reading “New York”

Oswald on prayer…

Found by: Gabriela Yareliz I always appreciate and love his quotes… He is one of those people who encourages us to keep praying. To know that life is like music, and that even when we feel silence– God is still in the “rests,” and that the music would not be the same without the rests.Continue reading “Oswald on prayer…”

When you really want something

By: Gabriela Yareliz I began reading the book of 1 Samuel. It begins with the story of Hannah, the childless woman who wanted a child more than anything. It is a story I have referred to before, because it is one that I really love. During the festivities in Shiloh, she is upset. She won’tContinue reading “When you really want something”

To Praise

Translation by: Gabriela Yareliz /God doesn’t reject a prayer, Prayer is nurishment. I have never seen a just one, one of His children, left without an answer or left in suffering. Its enough to wait and see what God will do when you lift your hands; it is time to gain victory. Simply praise Him;Continue reading “To Praise”

He crossed His hands

Recollection by: Gabriela Yareliz- Based on Steve Riley’s sermon at the Florida Conference Campmeeting. Riley is the Senior Pastor of Stanmore Avenue Church in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Life throws us unexpected things. We don’t always understand what we are going through as we are walking along the journey. Only one thing is true: GodContinue reading “He crossed His hands”

Who has known the mind of the Lord?

By: Gabriela Yareliz These words are some of the most deep words I have read in the Bible, lately. Every sentence made me think about my relationship with God; how we relate to Him. Romans 11  33]Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgmentsContinue reading “Who has known the mind of the Lord?”

When God speaks

By: Gabriela Yareliz Lately, I am not quite sure what has been wrong with me. Things are going well, don’t get me wrong, and God is always good. Sometimes though, we have a strange anguish that begins to drip into our souls until we realize later that is is completely at unrest and without peace.Continue reading “When God speaks”

Winds

By: Gabriela Yareliz Yesterday I saw tents being set up. It was a windy day and because the tent had no stakes, it went rolling. Everyone chased it as it rolled across the north lawn. Later, some young women came up to me to do a photo survey about social justice and spirituality. The beautiful cardsContinue reading “Winds”
