Through the Eyes of LOVE

QUIET TIME WORD by Carla-Rae 8-20-12

"It would be wise of us to, resolutely, determine to view ourselves and others through the eyes of "LOVE," as the masterpieces, we have been created to be. We should not allow ourselves or others to paint a picture of us that is not in keeping with the masterpiece that is who we, each, are. Nor should we look at others as any less than a creation of LOVE. Nowhere else is there another who is just like Me Or just like You. How amazing is that?" Just sayin'

Peace and blessings for a wonderful day,

EACH DAY...

QUIET TIME WORD by Carla-Rae 8-19-12

"Each Day starts brand new. Each day, one more colorful gem in the great mosaic of our lives. Each day a blessing lavished on us by GOD CREATOR of ALL, Who designed us with a free will, to make the most of this day, or not. It is our choice."
Peace and blessings for a wonderful day,

What Does a DOG SHAKING HIS FUR and 2012 have in Common?

Dear family and friends,

While the Holy Spirit of the Lord has been quick to show me what to pray when needed, many of the words I have been receiving in the last few months have been dark and heavy. Thankfully, the Lord has shown me how to deal with these through intercession and pressing in. So, when I asked Him to show me His outline for 2012 over the last few days of 2011, I waited ready to write, in my journal, some deeply profound insight from the Lord. (Other than my husband and Our oldest son, my brother, and A dear intercessor friend, up to  this point I have not ventured to share this with anyone, until now.) This is what HE showed me. I saw as it were, in the spirit, a DOG SHAKING HIS FUR. (Kind of like when they have water weighing their fur down. HA!, not the vision I was expecting.) Then I heard "WHAT DOES THE VISION OF A DOG SHAKING HIS FUR AND THE YEAR 2012 HAVE IN COMMON?" Before I could really think about it, the response came. "THE VISUAL OF THE DOG SHAKING HIS FUR IS HOW I WANT YOU TO OPERATE THROUGH 2012. SHAKE OFF THE HEAVY WEIGHTS AND "LIGHTEN UP". (That is simply profound. GO GOD!)

Now, if you will, take that in light of the fact that anyone with a spiritual "Knower" Knows that there are going to be "upheavals, calamity, and more, along with profound spiritual growth, renewal and resolve" in this 2012 year, probably unlike anything we have ever seen. AND my dears, there will be things that totally, want to overwhelm us in our spiritual and physical lives. Things that will become too, weighty and heavy, even some things that are not seeming too, big; like the dear brother or sister or friend, who try to get us to fall into the "fear" of the seriousness that we know is coming. We are to be like the DOG SHAKING HIS FUR...Lighten up and shake it off and Give it all to the Lord...

***The only weight we are to carry is the weight of HIS GLORY!!! So, I say, along with the DOG SHAKING HIS FUR; "Lighten Up". God has us covered.***

Peace and blessings,
Carla-Rae

"Sifting and Purifying"

Quiet Time Word: Carla-Rae

"Sifting and Purifying"

Just as we sift grain or flour to remove impurities before we can put these elements to proper use, we should allow God to sift our lives of any impurities that would hinder our lives from being a good example to others.

Oh, Lord, help me to let go of the "things" that keep me from being a good example to others.

Enjoy Where You Are...

Quiet Time Word: By Carla-Rae

This bears repeating.

"Enjoy where you ARE, while you are on the way to where you are going."

Peace

We Can Only be Who we Are...

Quiet Time Word: Carla-Rae, 


"We can only be who we are. We will never do 'everything' right and we will never say 'all the right' things. In Christ we can be thankful that there is ONE WHO understands and accepts us just the way we are." GO GO!
