Reflections Before Bedtime #95

Recently, I found some of T.B. LaBerge’s writings that really touched me. I have featured his quotes on the blog, before. I think his wisdom illustrates the beautiful connection he has with God. His words are always ones that encourage me in my own spirituality. I really appreciated the following thought: “Be authentic in theContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #95”

Wednesday Inspiration: May 10, 2017

“Don’t miss this. This is the heart of Christianity. This is what sets our faith off from all other major religions. Our God does not need our service, nor is He glorified by recruits who want to help Him out. Our God is so full and so self-sufficient and so overflowing in power and lifeContinue reading “Wednesday Inspiration: May 10, 2017”

Better

By: Gabriela Yareliz Imagine if we could see the repercussions of a word, act or omission; how things play out in the future. If we could see that perhaps a snarky comment or selfish act later leads to us hurting the ones we love and our own destruction, what would we do differently? What if?Continue reading “Better”

True Love’s Kiss

By: Gabriela Yareliz True love’s kiss is not just a song by Amy Adams in the movie Enchanted. Though the movie is phenomenal. There is the jaded, divorced father, the young believing daughter and this wacky, innocent princess character that enters their lives. Spoiler alert, the opposites attract and fall in love. Ahh, what isContinue reading “True Love’s Kiss”

Practically Speaking

By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, our Bible study focused on the topic of holiness. Holiness is an important aspect and attribute of God, and it’s important for us to allow God to make us holy, if we really are to reflect who He is. All of us sitting around the circle with our Bibles and lessonContinue reading “Practically Speaking”

The Mystery of Suffering

By: Gabriela Yareliz I have begun studying the book of Job, with the worldwide church. According to Jewish scholars, there are some things that we can take away from the book of Job: 1. The fact that a person suffers does not mean that he or she has done anything to deserve the suffering. ThinkingContinue reading “The Mystery of Suffering”

Sunday Girl: October 9, 2016

[From the Dillon-Panther Tumblr] By: Gabriela Yareliz It was one of those lazy Sundays. It was raining since early morning, and it rained throughout the day. Everything was grey, up until the sunset. Then, the sky turned blue and yellow.  I ate pumpkin pancakes and potatoes, and then crawled back into bed. I did allContinue reading “Sunday Girl: October 9, 2016”

Sunday Girl: September 25, 2016

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s like someone flipped a switch. Autumn began with the cutest Google animation of little rocks eating a leaf (did anyone else see the adorableness?), and then, BAM,  sixty-degree weather that makes your nose run. I was almost stranded in Jersey City last night with a shut-down Path train station, and aContinue reading “Sunday Girl: September 25, 2016”

Monday Inspiration: September 12, 2016

By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Monday! I saw a sign that said: “I run on caffeine, chaos and cuss words.” So cheesy. But, it made me wonder– what do I run on? We all run on something; especially on Mondays. What are your three things? I guess mine sign would say: “I run on vegan/gluten free proteinContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: September 12, 2016”

Heavenly Interviews

By: Gabriela Yareliz Those of you who have been reading for years may remember my journalism studies days. (An old  comical blog post is linked for your enjoyment). I would wander around trying to find a quiet place to interview people. One recent Sabbath afternoon, my friends and I were talking about what heaven wouldContinue reading “Heavenly Interviews”
