Whenever I was going through a tough situation, I had a tendency to yell at God, “Well? Where are You?!” Every single time, He has brought me through. And in the stillness, He said, “Right here”. See, we forget that God is all around us. He is joined to our very spirit. Where can I go from the presence of the Lord? For even in the depths, He is there.

I love this picture from the Wall Street Journal, on South African wine. It captures the energy of the wine scene there, I think. Check out the article (linked above) for some QPR suggestions on fine Bordeaux style blends from South Africa, which can be found at far-less-than-Bordeaux prices.

Tired Excitement

It has been an amazing week for no reason at all. I am exhausted, but I don't want to stop. On Monday, I went to work, then got home and took care of my furry children. Afterwards, I drove to the gym and did 40 mins. of cardio, plus weighted squats. The next day, I did the same, minus the squats because I can't bend down, or move my legs for that matter. Today it's Wednesday, I picked up some coffee during the day because my body wanted to shut down in order to rebuild the muscles I've been tearing at the gym al week, but I had to work. I go off after tutoring some kids. Then, I went to the gym again, another 40 mins. of cardio. When I came home, I took care of my fur babies. I'm scared my Chihuahua, Hilary, might be very sick. I can't afford a vet this month. She has been throwing up and eating grass. I'm sure it's because she eats the Guinea Pig's food, but she's old, so I'd like her to see a vet.

In other news, my birthday is in a few weeks. I'm not sure if I'm excited. I don't want to age. I feel like I have so many things I want to accomplish. .I know I shouldn't feel this way, but being a woman, although I don't want kids and don't care for marriage, I still feel that sense of urgency. I feel like I need to be set for life, settle. I can't. I want all that life has to offer. Most importantly, I want to give life all I have to offer. My major is Biotechnology, I'd like to actually earn a science graduate degree (maybe a PhD), before Medical school. Yet ,I feel that sense of urgency of "Gaby, you need to earn that M.D before 28". I don't know...let's just go with the flow.

I'm very happy, I have so many problems, so many things that, before, would have set my depression off, but...

I'm very happy.

She wears strength and darkness equally well, the girl has always been half goddess, half hell.

How To Pair Your Wine & Glass

It has been a crazy start for the new year. New Year's night was full of heartbreak and self-finding. The next few days were full of stress, but this is because I lost sight of what is important in life and I hope to keep that in mind for the rest of the year. I am very thankful. I love life, I love my pets, and mostly I love God and the path he has laid down for me.

I start class next week, I am pretty excited about that.
