FEARFULLY GORGE

I am WELL equipped for the unknown. Because God already knows it… …and He cares for me. Psalm 23 A psalm of David. 1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.2     He makes me lie down in green pastures,he leads me beside quiet waters,3     he refreshes my soul.He guides me along the right paths    for his name’s sake.4 Even though I walk    through the darkest valley,I will fear no…

Mornings are meant for sleeping in, not energy or productivity. A night owl at heart, I can stay up all night and sleep in all morning. Miss me with the brightness, and wake me up at noon – please and thank you.  Mornings have never been my thing. I’ve mastered the skill of waking up at the very possible last minute, with just enough time to make it wherever I need to be (with at least 5 alarms…

How 9/11 Traumatized Me: Fighting Fear + Anxiety

9/11/01: Little 4th grade Gabby in elementary school … RUNNING down to my mom’s classroom in fear … witnessing suicide for the first time EVER on the news (“the jumpers”) … seeing the smoke in the distance …  watching all of my loved ones terrified. It’s etched in my memory. It bombards my thoughts at least once a month. I will never, and CAN NEVER forget.

It had an impact on all of us –…

“He Was Our Jesus…”

The life and legacy of Ermias Joseph Asghedom. Wow..

Since hearing the news of his assassination last Sunday, I’ve been in a daze. I know everybody worldwide feels the heaviness of this loss, but to be in LA when it happened? It’s a different type of heaviness that I don’t think will pass any time soon. The City of Angels is truly hurting…

Striving for WHOLENESS: Spirit, Soul and Body

If you’ve been following my journey thus far via social media, YouTubeor my blog, you know I’ve been a bit out of the game for the past 2 years. My injuries have come to a point where I can’t do much physical activity. For somebody who has been physical and training since 4 years old, being bound from activity is STRESSFUL. BUT, it has forced me to focus on my emotional, mental and most…

If you’ve been reading my blog over the past few years, you know that I’m always inspired by others, specifically my godbaby-niece, Natalie Rae. She is now 5 years old and continues to grow into such a beam of light and charisma!

I was fortunate enough to spend the 2017 holiday season with my sister and her family in Florida. Outside of the amazing quality time we all shared, one particular day…

Uncomfortable Obedience – Let’s Keep It Real

As some of you may know, my husband and I were called out to Los Angeles right after we got married. A week after our wedding, we flew out to Burbank in obedience to God and left what was similar and comfortable behind us. While God has proven to us DAILY that this is His will (check out our Move On Faith 4-part-series on YouTube ) – it has still been so bitter being away from NYC.

This September…

The Obsession of Marriage in Church Culture

In recent observation and personal experience, I’ve realized that some church communities truly glorify marriage. Not only do they glorify it, but they encourage it at any glimpse of “love” they think they may see (please please note that I said SOME churches – not all). This obsession may not necessarily stem from a bad place, as godly marriage is truly beautiful. But, there are negative aspects…

Re-Learning My Godly Routine as a Wife

Disclaimer: This article expresses my personal experience as a wife thus far, and by no means necessary is stated to be served as fact, but rather, opinion. Last month, my husband and I celebrated our 1st Anniversary! This past year has been a journey, a gumbo of lessons, but mostly lots of fun! Our foundation of Christ has helped us to easily withstand minor issues we’ve faced. It’s amazing how…

I love Jesus, but can’t stand church

DISCLAIMER: This post is not about ALL churches, but a huge handful… 2017 is a year of transparency for me. This topic has been so prevalent in my heart and mind lately and I’ve felt the urge to share it. Not only cause I think it needs to be talked about, but also because I know for a fact that I’m not the only one who feels like this. For some backstory: I didn’t really grow up in church like a…

Advice To My Teenage Self – Fight For Your Art!

I’ve been in this constant mood of looking back at old pictures and videos of myself when I was a teenager. It’s a constant yearning to want to do things differently. I’ve honestly struggled with massive regret for the past few years, on various levels. It’s been heavily affecting me the past few days as I’ve had time to pause and think about a lot of stuff. Before I move on, I do want to clarify…

Posting “Pray For ___” Pictures DOES NOT Equate to Actual Prayer

I’m tired of seeing so many pictures on social media that say “Pray for___” (the most recent country who needs it the most). I’m not saying that posting these pictures are entirely wrong. What I’m saying is that posting these pictures mean NOTHING if you’re not actually going to shut everything off, spend time with God and truly PRAY and INTERCEDE for these countries in need!!!! Now before we…

God Does Not Care About Your Plans

The past few years of my life have been intricately steered by the hand of God. He has shown me that my plans mean NOTHING at the end of the day. This has been such a struggle for me because I am a planner who loves having control! My actual planner is my life, as I try to plan each of my days specifically. I write out yearly goals every New Year to accomplish. And I feel like God just LOOOOVES…

Re-Learning Myself as an Adult

Last weekend, my husband and I joined our new church family for a night of fellowship. We went around the table giving everybody a short glimpse of who we are individually. When it was my turn, I literally had NO clue what to say! It quickly reminded me why I’m slightly anti-social lol! After I blurted out a sloppy summary of my name, age, while repping Queens (always), I thought to myself “Who…

The Importance of Daily Devotion

As our lives continue to advance in various ways, schedules get busy giving us very little time in the way. Especially for myself – now living in Cali and learning a whole new rhythm of life not only as an adult away from home, but also a wife! As followers of Christ, it is so important for us to remember that the most important part of the day should be in our Father’s presence. But they delight…

Hi my lovely readers! I know it’s been a while since I have written. I recently went on hiatus as I’ve been transitioning into a new season in my life. Boy oh boy has it been an interesting Autumn for me. The ups and downs have been interesting, but all n’ all, have shaped me to be a better representative of my Heavenly Father. It took a lot of repenting, and a sincere apology though.. It started…

As Christians are walking on very sensitive grounds in the US these days, we must stay focused on how God intended for us to respond, act and handle certain situations. No, we do not have to agree with the Supreme Court’s decisions. But does that mean we throw hate and anger to those who do? How dare any of us act this way toward our brothers and sisters! Think about it, we sin daily, whether you…
