STAND TALL By Carla-Rae

~ STAND TALL~
By Carla-Rae

~I stand tall in this, my vulnerability.
I am powerful, in weakness you see.
The LOVE, I AM, is on my sleeve.
Yes, it is true, yours to receive,
So, many pass by, blind, unaware,
Of the gift, the presence, standing there.
The key is in YOUR hand, to open the door,
to the the richest of Blessing, LOVE evermore.

Break down the walls, throw windows open wide,
To reveal what in YOU, truly resides.
LOVE is the answer to the PAIN that you FEEL,
NOW is the time for you to GET REAL.
Yesterday is gone, tomorrow's not here.
LOVE NOW and walk without fear.
Yes, STAND TALL.~

QUIET TIME WORD by Carla-Rae (On Healing...)

On HEALING, GROWTH and MOVING FORWARD~

(Prose By Carla-Rae)

~Today, I traveled to a place that I thought had long since been cleared.

The prison cell that my own heart and spirit had been locked in for years.

I had no intention of revisiting this place I thought I no longer feared.

After all the cell door was open wide,

what did I think I would find inside?

Yet even so, inside I went,

Something/someone in the corner was bowed and bent.

I felt drawn to the creature bent so low,

not sure any closer, did I want to go.

Though I felt compelled to move in closer,

to the shaking frame bowed in the dark, damp, corner.

As I crept in nearer beside the shivering, weeping one.

I knew I had no lofty, words of wisdom.

As I sat in silence, ever near,

This one's heartbeat became so clear.

I waited there a long, long time,

as her labored pain, was almost mine.

The time went on for what seemed like days,

until SHE looked up and I met her gaze.

We both drew a breath, as we did see

I was HER and SHE was ME.

Oh my Lord, in my haste to leave this prison,

I left her there with a pain not yet risen.

Alone there, she wept, sobbed, and cried

until I returned to be by her side.

For She is a gift so beautiful and rare,

Forgive me, myself, for leaving you there.

Have I told you how precious you are to me?

Let us walk together myself and me.

Allow, release, give up the pain,

that is no longer your life's stain.

Let's walk hand in hand, together again.

For you, myself, are my best friend.~

QUIET TIME WORDBy Carla-Rae ~LIGHT COMES IN THE PRESENT~

QUIET TIME WORD By Carla-Rae (August 20, 2014)

~LIGHT COMES IN THE PRESENT~

'Darkness and Despair tend to show up when we obsess over things we think we have no control over; like things that have happened in our past, or things we think might happen in our future.

LIGHT comes in the PRESENT.

When we acknowledge our past for what it was/is and know that it is, in fact, past - in the LIGHT of the PRESENT we see that the past only has the hold over us that we give it. Further, in the LIGHT of the PRESENT, we can see that our future can be molded into something amazing by the LIGHT and ENERGY WE cast over it from our PRESENT. We can indeed, choose to wash our future in the bright, shine of our PRESENT.

All in All, living in the PRESENT is an amazing GIFT brining with it lots of presents/presence.

May the gift of the PRESENT be the light we flood into our future.

Keep Shining~
Peace and blessings,
Carla-Rae
