Unsilenced Truths
Unsilenced Truths is a *hand me down* gift from God to me to you. In 2020, I wanted to identify myself for who I actually was and not through the looking-glass of how my external world perceived me. So I embarked on a solo journey to explore the vastness of self-awareness. Now being a few years in, I intend to share what I have learned from my past experiences in a relatable, authentic manner, as well as, the thoughts and challenges I encounter in my daily life. I am confident that those who wish to expand their capacity to express their true selves and desire to have fulfilling relationships based on unconditional love will understand where I am coming from. My hope is to help others stop self-sabotaging their own greatness. I want those who hide their faces to feel seen; for others who feel alone to be comforted and optimistic. Hard times don't last forever and sometimes when it rains it pours. Nevertheless, join me on the roller coaster of human experience, where reality is not what it always seems upon closer observation. We are diving into the deep end of the pool, so be ready to swim. It’s time for the masks to come off and for quieted voices of truth to have an opportunity to speak. We will laugh, cry, and compassionately address our tender wounds in hopes that transparency and vulnerability will allow a chance for healing. Let's move forward courageously and break stagnancy by letting go of the old to make room for the new. Become the main character in your story if you have not already. Be open and receptive to see the world differently. With more clarity; a little more like how God sees it….*.Hand-me-downs are gifts given with no strings attached and no requirement to use.
Unsilenced Truths
Love Never Fails
" Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance" 1 Corinthians 13:7
This episode was released at a later date than it was recorded. On May 8th, I verbally provided my victim statement at an expungement hearing for my rape case ( 3 years after it took place). My sexual assault was a heavy weight that I had been carrying for a long time prior to the Freedom encounter at church and I am grateful for all the young ladies and gentleman who supported me at my hearing. It was nice to have familiar faces and hugs to receive after the judge made his decision to grant the expungement ( he was definitely on my side though in his heart). I appreciated the encouragement, prayer, and love they gifted me. I know this is not the end of my story and my experiences will be a testimony to help others. It is unfortunate how poorly structured our judicial system is and the lack of preparation I felt leading up to my hearing even just seconds before it started. Despite, the uncertainty I showed up for 19 year old and 23 year old Caira in the best way I could. I can whole heartedly say that God held me up through that process and has continued to carry me in the days following. So many blessings are coming in and have arrived. Despite "losing" I feel as if I came out winning because I did... Love Won! When I left the court room and thanked God for all that he had done I received the most love I had ever felt in my life. I finally felt contentment in that moment after embracing each person and individually thanking them for the support they showed me. I fought a good fight and I was not alone. Praying friends are great friends to have. Thank you God for everything you have given me. Love never fails.
