Growing & Glowingggg👸🏾🌅
September Dumpppppp

“Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You’re not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It’s the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won’t last forever. It won’t be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬-‭11‬ ‭MSG‬‬

SN: i realllyy love Lauryn and this song 😩

Finally got my diploma in the mail on September 16! The hardest thing that I have done thus far in my life. I was literally fighting for my life. Grateful for the journey, the friends/family, the clients, my community & everything in between. Neverrr would have made it without God. *Que song

The week before my birthday I was gifted with a 3 translation(English, Spanish, & Portuguese) bible by an amazing woman🥹. I was having an interesting day and I stopped at a picnic table to read the Bible. This amazing man named Joel saw me reading and he pulled out his Spanish bible and we studied together.(yes I speak Spanish) Naturally he wanted to read Joel as that was his name so that’s what we did 😂.(lowkey jelly there’s no book named Gabriela, I fear I too would always want to read that book) I read out loud in Spanish and then read it in English for myself. It was the most beautiful unplanned moment spent with the holy spirit.

“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:20

Food for thought 🤓

I have been a corporate girly for two months. And I can confirm, the best part about being a corporate girly is the outfits 🤭💕

I named my niecyyypoo Iridessa because it means rainbow or Reflecting light. I have always loved the story of Noah in the Bible. And how God chose to give them a sign of his promise to never flood the earth again. And he still chooses to show us this sign today! So everytime I see a rainbow I feel Gods love and it reminds me of my niece 🥹🌈

Cheers to the best month with the best people. Grateful beyond measure for community, love, and refinement! 👸🏾💕

Worship Sundays 👩🏾‍🎤🔥

Best moment for your character to rise to the surface. I love conflict because it tells me everything about myself and what I need to work on. And the other person, where they are in their journey. And clarifies whether we’re meant to continue doing life together! Correction is the highest form of love in my opinion! Because when done correctly it breathes new light and perspective!

July Dump! No words to describe how awesome God is. Just actions to show his faithfulness. Living proof of him coming after me over and over and over. Even & Especially when I don’t deserve it! Reminder to not try to run from him (no where to hide, I’ve learned) ! New job, summer with my niece and my nephew! And more time with the people and things i love! Gets no better than this! #Julyyyyy #yonose by @the1qg

10 years in the making. To God be the glory. 🤍

If you would’ve asked 16-year-old me where I’d end up, this would’ve never been my answer.

I thought I’d spend my life doing makeup, sewing, cooking, and building businesses. I did not like people. I was selfish, chasing my own plans. But God had a different story to write.

At 16, In HS I pursued nursing to make my Haitian family proud. I almost failed, graduated, and never even took my licensure exam.

At 17, I moved to attend FAMU & switched my major from nursing to pre-med. hated it. Then I discovered psychology. and fell in love.

From 18–20, I was living far from God, smoking weed every day, partying, drinking, and searching for fulfillment in all the wrong places. While still going to church on Sundays. Yet His mercy never left me. Even then, He was preparing me. By His grace alone, I graduated with my B.S. in Psychology in just three years.

At 21–22, after graduating I moved to GA. Got rejected for grad school, went to esthetician school instead. And launched my business! And then God began stripping away everything I depended on. Through His Word and prayer, He started transforming my heart.

At 23, I gave Jesus my complete yes. I was baptized, built a prayer closet(watch war room), surrendered my old lifestyle, and learned what intimacy with God truly looked like. When my car broke down, what felt like a setback became one of God’s greatest classrooms. Bus/uber rides became ministry. I met strangers who would pour out their stories, and I had the privilege of pointing them back to Jesus. During that season, God reignited my passion for counseling, and I was accepted into Grad school!

This degree represents more than assignments and exams. It represents God’s faithfulness through every detour, every failure, every addiction, every surrender, every “no,” every bus/train/uber ride, every prayer, and every quiet season.

He took someone who didn’t like people and gave her a heart to love them.

I’m still being refined, but if my story encourages even one person to trust God’s plan over their own, then it’s worth sharing.

Today at 26, The degree is finished, but God’s work in me is just beginning👸🏾 taken in Blessed by @the1qg

May & June Dump| Q2 Complete 🥳🤓💪🏾

“and to make it your ambition to live quietly and peacefully, and to mind your own affairs and work with your hands, just as we directed you, so that you will behave properly toward outsiders [exhibiting good character, personal integrity, and moral courage worthy of the respect of the outside world], and be dependent on no one and in need of nothing [be self-supporting].”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Been living this verse out in real time. Talking less & doing more in my own way. And learning to find joy in every season. This Sundays word was spot on w this! Being grateful forrrr Everything, hallelujah!

T-Minus 24 days until I am officially done with my masters program! Pray for meee! 3 more weeks of my internship and then one more class. Fighting for my life and praying for the right transition into the start of my career. It’s honestly been very fulfilling being able to help people walk through different seasons of life. And to learn to hold space for others.

Spending the Summer w my JJ my nephew. Rn locked in on learning how to swim. I know how to swim underwater trying to master swimming with breaths. JJ is learning at 6 and I’m learning at 26. Very ghetto.

Also been meal prepping and locked in on setting my routine/setting intentions for my day. I will fold for donuts ngl. Pls keep them away. And I won a sous off not gonna tag the loser but keep her in your thoughts 😂🤭 lol jk jk taken in In My Garden by @the1qg

Heavy is the head that wears the crown, good thing God strengthened mine👸🏾

Gabriela: Strong woman of God, also translated to God is my strength. Feminine version of Gabriel. Gabriel was an angel, a messenger of God, a figure of courage, protection, & divine presence

As I reflect on my journey towards becoming a pastoral counselor my heart is filled with nothing but gratitude! I thank God everyday for not letting me go down the path that I preferred. I wanted to make clothes and do makeup and run that business forever. But God would not let me go, he pursued me relentlessly. Bringing me encounters through prayer from strangers. I knew this would require me to be vulnerable, compassionate, and selfless. And from graduating undergrad in 2020 to now. God has rewired my heart and made me whole. I use to be a runner(from Gods will), I would be annoyed anytime I felt someone needed something from me that required me to put down the version of me that I wanted to become. But today I thank him for bringing me strangers to speak life into and pray for, to this day! This has been my favorite gospel song since I was a little girl. And from then to now God has given me plenty. The fact that he thinks of little old me and has carried me thus far is a testament of his love! May this post be a stone set out for the world to see. A constant reminder of his love, mercy, and perfect timing. I wanted it to happen so much faster, but this is Gods perfect timing and his perfect will. And through surrender and obedience I have become the best version of myself. And through partnering with God he has repurposed my desires to align with his in a way that continues to blow my mind. Honored to grace the stage and proud to present to you

Gabriela,
Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling
Counting down until I officially finish this summer!

April dump 🤓💪🏾

Conferences and school and unpaid internship and being in community & serving & fighting for my life😭. Had to take a break from my podcast because this season is stretching me thin. Will be back very soon! Did some decluttering & reworking my space to come back better. By the grace of God we will be gracing the stage in four days! But i am still going to be with my program until the end of the summer semester. So pls pray for me to finish well and not get lost in the sauce of walking 😭.

A yap that carried me through “I can’t complain about having a lot on my plate if my goal was to eat🍽️

March Dump 😌

These clips do March noooo justice! This month was filled with worship through obedience. And real worship ofc😏. Soo much vulnerability and authenticity in all of the spaces that God has been leading me to. In my internship we had a wellness retreat that was a blessing to walk through healing with different women with medical trauma. Camp Oasis was also this month and it was a blessing to lead worship and to pray over so many kids. To share my testimonies with them in real time and show them how I steward my relationship with God. Shoutout to pastor Gary for this quote “God allows you to see so you know where to love” We are not called to “fix” people or to carry their burdens. As willing vessels we are used to plant seeds and to shed light on the issues. God is the healer and the provider of all that is needed! I was beginning to take things on for myself and this quote brought me back to the reality of leading people to the process of healing. Not being the healer, that is all God! There is a YouTube cover I’ve been listening to on repeat as well all month long. It’s called “Make me whole” by Angel Osei & Simi Olapade! It’s been inviting me to go deeper into intimacy with God and to trust him with my heart. With everything that I’ve tried to repress. So I can show up authentically in the way that God designed me to be. Pls give it a listen. Runnn. No episode this Monday for Just a daughter because I am being intentional with rest. This fruit of the spirit series is near and dear to my heart. I don’t want to do just to say i did. I want to show up with excellence. Stay tuned for next Mondays drop! We’ll be discussing Patience! Alsooo this song “Thank God I’m free” has been on repeat it’s literal fire!😭🥹💪🏾🔥

Some focus verses that helped me through this month:

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” ‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬ taken in Crowned In Purpose by @the1qg
