“God is not man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Has He said, and will not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not fulfill it?” Numbers 23:19

Reflections Before Bedtime #6
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sabbath has been awesome so far. We kicked off the Sabbath hours with the last night of The Grace Tour at the University of Florida. Today, the focus of the talk was Luke 9:23: “And he said to call, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take upContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #6”
Despite the Flaws
By: Gabriela Yareliz In the Bible, we see men and women presented with all of their flaws and beauty; in their darkest moments and in their highest points. Why so? “But seeing where they struggled and fell, where they took heart again and conquered through the grace of God, we are encouraged and led toContinue reading “Despite the Flaws”
Do You Know Him?
He’s the King of the Jews; He’s the King of Israel; He’s the King of Righteousness. He’s the King of the Ages. He’s the King of Heaven. He’s the King of Glory. He’s the King of kings and He’s the Lord of lords. That’s my King. Well, I wonder do you know Him? David said,Continue reading “Do You Know Him?”
Sabbath Reading: Malcolm Muggeridge
I read this today, and I loved it. Malcolm Muggeridge was a journalist (he interviewed Coco Chanel for crying out loud!), satirist, and spy (during WWII). “I may, I suppose, regard myself as a relatively successful man. People occasionally stare at me in the streets: that’s fame. I can fairly easily earn enough to qualify forContinue reading “Sabbath Reading: Malcolm Muggeridge”
That One Thing
By: Gabriela Yareliz Many times, we try to give God a lot of things in our lives and different parts of us. We also hold some things back. What is it that God wants from us? “O my son, give me your heart. May your eyes take delight in following my ways.” Proverbs 23:26 WhenContinue reading “That One Thing”
Friday Glee: November 14, 2014
By: Gabriela Yareliz Baby, it’s cold outside! Full-blown winter out here. And for some reason, the light rain and four-degree wind chill (I exaggerate…) with the twinkling lights makes us feel that life is like a Christmas jewelry commercial (with background music and all). New York City just has that vibe. It doesn’t always have that vibe. OnlyContinue reading “Friday Glee: November 14, 2014”
The Lottery of Love?
By: Gabriela Yareliz Allow me to build my thesis: There are things that are very important to people when they are looking for a partner. We’ll call them the “nonnegotiable.” Weirdly, some can be amended by a persons choice to change or change of opinion; others are what they are. For example, I know people whoContinue reading “The Lottery of Love?”
Monday Inspiration: October 20, 2014
By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Monday to all. Enjoy this week as October is in all of its fullness because next week is the last week of this fantastic, action-packed little month. It’s chilly out, skin starts feeling different (extra-moisture lotion!) and lip balm is needed. Autumn is in the middle of its parade, the sky is dimmingContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 20, 2014”
Changing Colors
“Autumn—that season of peculiar and inexhaustible influence on the mind of taste and tenderness—that season which has drawn from every poet worthy of being read some attempt at description, or some lines of feeling.” -Jane Austen By: Gabriela Yareliz Autumn has me changing colors. There is probably no better use of our time like when weContinue reading “Changing Colors”
