By: Gabriela Yareliz I was sitting on the train, looking out at the dark, graffiti-filled tunnels it goes through. The dark tunnels reminded me of how, oftentimes, in life, when we want to go somewhere, we end up having to travel dark, dark tunnels. Strangely, even in the darkness, there is art and all kindsContinue reading “Dark Tunnels”

Friday Glee: March 6, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz This week, I earned the title of detective. The weeks get more intense as they pass by; something that seems impossible until it happens. BUT–it’s Friday. Time to celebrate. The Sabbath has come as an oasis to rescues us from a weird vortex that swallows us. Have some blessed rest. Time to dropContinue reading “Friday Glee: March 6, 2015”
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.

Upstate New York has an abundance of produce and crops; some people have apples coming out of their ears– it’s that time of year.Continue reading “Harvesting in Life”
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.

Autumn is in the middle of its parade, the sky is dimmingContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 20, 2014”

Obedience is better than sacrifice.” – {3TContinue reading “Not At Our Own Convenience”
When Oddity and Loneliness Hold Hands
By: Gabriela Yareliz Let’s talk loneliness. Being alone can feel maddening at times. Why do you think people in solitary confinement end up with serious problems? New York City can sometimes feel like the loneliest place in the world. Sometimes, it is pointless to escape the white walls and fluorescent lamps of your studio forContinue reading “When Oddity and Loneliness Hold Hands”
Your Future
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, we are afraid of what the future holds. We are usually afraid of things we don’t understand or things we can’t control. Uncertainty. It’s a scary thing. A lot of us like to feel like we are in control of something. It’s that desire to control that sometimes stops us fromContinue reading “Your Future”
Look to God
You must look to God and trust in Him. Lean upon Him, and He will not forsake you. He will not leave you to perish. Precious is the word of God. “Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life.” These are the words of Christ. The words of inspiration, carefully andContinue reading “Look to God”
