Quiet time Words: By Carla-Rae "His Beauty Our Air"

Refresh your soul and allow the Beauty of God's creation to nurture, and be the oxygen/air, to the soul, spirit, body. Bask in the sunlight. Absorb the sounds of nature. Smell it's fragrance. Rejoice in the peace experienced there.

Peace

QUIET TIME WORDS: BY Carla-Rae "His Light"

"As we spend time in the quiet with our Creator God, the "Light of His Presence" becomes more evident in our lives. How wonderful to know that His Light shines through weak vessels such as we are. It is not about who we are, but about who HE is."

Peace

QUIET TIME WORDS: BY Carla-Rae "WAITING"

"When we WAIT in the presence of the Lord God Creator, there comes a peace and a knowing in our souls that everything we are waiting for will come into place at it's appropriate time. WAITING, without patience, outside His presence causes frustration and angst. Whether we believe it or not, taking a few minutes out of our busy schedules to WAIT in His presence will, actually, bring order to our day; and the answers will come, as we shed the excess weight from our thoughts. How peaceful is that? Well, try it and find out."

Peace

QUIET TIME WORDS: BY Carla-Rae "IN HIS TIME"

'Seriously, how many times have we been given a glimpse of the direction (or goal) we should go in with regard to a certain matter; then we rush in that direction only to be disappointed that things didn't happen as "quickly" as we thought they should? Before we throw in the towel or give up, stop and thank Creator for guiding us and then relax in the sovereignty of His guidance. He shows us the direction; we start off in the direction, and move according to HIS continual guidance. There is peace in taking the time that is needed to reach the goal. There is peace in resting and trusting Him to guide us each step of the way. One more thing, there may be obstacles we face along the way to reaching the goal, but that doesn't mean we are not in HIS will. All good things come with challenges. It just the way it is. '

Peace

"QUIET TIME WORDS: By Carla-Rae "Never Alone"

Even when we feel as though we are alone, we are never alone. The Spirit of Creator God is ever with us there to listen, answer our heart's questions, comfort, encourage, support, and uplift. The reason we feel alone is that we forget to speak to HIM and listen to HIS gentle responses. STOP. Take a deep breath. Exhale. Close your eyes and experience HIS presence. He's with us. He really is.


Peace

QUIET TIME WORDS: BY Carla-Rae "NEW MEANS NEW"

You may have heard, in essence,  the saying: "You cannot expect different results if you keep doing the same things over and over again." Ideally, to obtain NEW and different results to life's challenges, we must apply NEW and different patterns and processes to make the changes. With that in mind, as we focus on this NEW YEAR and NEW DECADE of 2011, we should leave the old ways of doing things at the door, especially, if those ways did not achieve the positive end results we were hoping for.

Good and dear friends have approached me, in the last four days of this NEW YEAR, carrying the same issues that plagued them in 2010. We all need the wake up call; We all need to be reminded; FEAR and WORRY cannot occupy the same space as TRUST. Therefore, if FEAR and WORRY have been trumping TRUST and BELIEF in what is positive and good, then something has to go in order for the NEW to have a chance to become reality. WE can be supportive of one another as we make the changes to the NEW, but we cannot support doing the same old things expecting to achieve different results. Just saying.

Peace.

"QUIET TIME WORDS: By Carla-Rae "ASK, SPEAK, CREATE"

ASK, and it shall be given to you. We forget to ask, we forget to speak and the things we want go un-created. GOD spoke, and what He spoke came into existence. He has given us the ability to create or destroy, through the power of our tongue. We must ask, and speak those things that will bring honor and glory to our Creator and prove His power to all.

Peace
