By: Gabriela Yareliz I am pretty sure I met my guardian angel today. It was a commute like any other. Kindle in hand, and noise everywhere. My train was four minutes away. I like to stand in an area of the platform where the police usually stands, next to a shed structure in the middle,Continue reading “I Was Pulled By An Angel In Times Square (Of All Places— I Know)”

I’m Learning to Breathe
By: Gabriela Yareliz We’ve all had moments of anxiety, panic and/or pain. Sometimes, it can feel like walls are closing in on us. Or maybe, it feels like a knife is stabbing us in the pelvis.

By: Gabriela Yareliz Spring arrives on March 20. I love spring. It always arrives right on time— when winter has beat us up and left us in a heaping pile like the inches of snow dropped on us.

Character Defined
“Your character is how you absorb what has happened to you; how you absorb reality; how you absorb the world. Who you choose to be in response to everything you did not choose.” Erwin McManus
The Hard Places
“God could have kept Daniel out of the lion’s den. But God has never promised to keep us out of hard places. What He has promised is to go with us through every hard place, and bring us through victoriously.” MERV ROSSELL
Close
“If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them.” C.S. Lewis
