Success, Virgin Births And Ordinary Miracles

By: Gabriela Yareliz This past week, I was listening to a “Pocket Pardon My French” podcast, by Garance Doré, about the meaning of success. This is a word and yardstick that tortures young adults and adults, alike. It’s the stuff children’s dreams are made of. Garance spoke about how true success, to her, is knowingContinue reading “Success, Virgin Births And Ordinary Miracles”

This Month’s Picks: July 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz Goodbye July, and enter August. I typically think of August as a month of new beginnings (it’s the student in me). July was crazy intense. I was blessed to be able to go to the General Conference Session for the Global Seventh-day Adventist Church in San Antonio, Texas; I finished my barContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: July 2015”

Law of Non-Contradiction

The law of non-contradiction always seems to emerge. The minute you try to disprove it, you use it because of your belief that you are right and the other is wrong. It is strange that those who use the law of non-contradiction to disprove what they don’t like or understand have many contradictions in theirContinue reading “Law of Non-Contradiction”

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.

A Philosophy of Walking: Living Deeply

“The eternal child is one who has never seen anything so beautiful, because he doesn’t compare. […] But the walker who marvels while walking (the blue of the rocks in a July evening light, the silvery green of olive leaves at noon, the violet morning hills) has no past, no plans, no experience. He hasContinue reading “A Philosophy of Walking: Living Deeply”

Not At Our Own Convenience

From Ellen G. White’s Testimonies for the Church, vol. 3 “Knowledge is not all that we need; we must follow the light. We are not left to choose for ourselves and to obey that which is agreeable to us and to disobey when it best suits our convenience. Obedience is better than sacrifice.” – {3TContinue reading “Not At Our Own Convenience”

A New Beginning

Photo by: Gabriela Yareliz By: Gabriela Yareliz There are some who say they hate writing. Writing is a discipline. Writing can be messy, and you can end up with ink silhouetting what looks like a blue or black bruise on the side of your hand. Writing takes thought. Writing can take you to unexpected places.Continue reading “A New Beginning”

Expression of Justice & Mercy

Taken from The Desire of Ages, chapter 79: “God’s love has been expressed in His justice no less than in His mercy. Justice is the foundation of His throne, and the fruit of His love. It had been Satan’s purpose to divorce mercy from truth and justice. He sought to prove that the righteousness ofContinue reading “Expression of Justice & Mercy”

Selling the birthright

By: Gabriela Yareliz Quotes by Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 2 There is a story of two very different twins. One who had a birthright (he was the firstborn son, named Esau), and he didn’t really care about it. The one who didn’t have the birthright, Jacob, wanted it bad. One dayContinue reading “Selling the birthright”
