Happily Ever After Starts Now!

by Claire Rae July 5, 2025
written by Claire Rae

Walking into July -the 7th month of the year and it is a time to “rest” in that we have done what we could in the past season and the fruit of our labour is in God’s hands. We can now celebrate completion- Of tests, planning, toiling and any other stressful thing we might have experienced up until now! We planted the seeds in our life and now we get to reap whatever that is.  

This post is for the believers, old and the brand new. It’s time to see the clouds break and the fresh air start to rise. We have had 5 years of grace to seek the truth, be honest with ourselves, face our demons and slay the things within that have held us back or held us down, be it fear, complacency, or just throwing a blind eye to the truth that is right in front of our faces. As a new day breaks and we are starting the month of July we have been blessed to realize that leaning on God in all circumstances is where the peace really is. As you may have noticed, it’s not like peace is a world movement currently but it can be for us within.  Perhaps you have known that for a while or you are just brand new to this journey, I want to remind you or enlighten you that peace and joy are something that are given by accepting by faith that God has it all worked out for you as you lean into Him (Jesus to be clear), He will be directing you to whatever you need daily to work in your life and purpose in this current season.  Although it is REST season we still need to maintain that rest state from the day we declare it. There is no end date to the maintenance program as it is a journey but we can declare joy and freedom the day we accept Christ as our saviour. We all need a saviour and the day we realize that is the beginning of “Happily Ever After”. 

Don’t get me wrong, adjustments are regular and to be expected including pruning, changing directions, uprooting, tossing, planting and lifting heavy things physically, mentally and emotionally. Learning a new way of thinking and ultimately living but it’s all a practice in surrender and ultimately trusting God in all things.

Sometimes you need to “fast” to remember what you have and other times it’s to realize that you are better off with less. Less material, less striving, less crowd pleasing, less food, less training….. unless of course you don’t do any of these, then perhaps this message isn’t for you but for those of us who work hard and trust we know that REST was part of the plan from the start. After all, God rested on the 7th day because He saw that His work was good. Rest only comes after a season of doing the work, overcoming the struggle, beating the giant or overcoming a challenge.  Sometimes you just have to look at your life and see that what God created in you is good, even the bad things that have happened to you or you have caused have allowed for growth and a deeper understanding of His grace and mercy over your life and others. Your story and your purpose is much larger than you know and His grace to put all the pieces together like only as a master builder/creator could. 

Take a deep breath now! It is good.

 

So what do we do while in this kind of rest season?

Well, we don’t drop the ball on good routines, or healthy habits. In fact, this would be a great time to simplify these routines and declutter the ball and chain of survival routines that may be mastered in those heavy work seasons. Think simple, go outside, take the walk instead of hitting the gym super hard ( I understand that many hard training folks won’t agree but REST truly is part of a God ordained program). Go swimming, create an adventure weekend, whatever fills your cup and is rest for you. Personally, I love playing tennis or pickle ball, paddling on my paddle board or just going for a bike ride. I want to spend more time creating in some fashion and maybe even getting good enough on my instrument to perform a solo one day.  This is a time to simplify our diets as well. Fruit and veggies are in full bloom so we excitedly enjoy all the vegetation and eat our healthiest and simplest. Pack an apple, some nuts and berries and hit the road. Boil some eggs and you are good to go. Grab a can of tuna and some fresh baked bread from the farmers market or better yet, go fishing and make a fire.  Take your camera, your family or a friend or just go alone and you are set for another amazing year of memories and stories for the books. Remember, we are what we do on the regular, so if you want to be healthy and look and feel it, we need to maintain it and live it out, even in our season of rest. 

 

We stick to our prayer routine, even just in thanksgiving because we don’t just pray when we are in a rut or in need but in celebration daily of His goodness in our lives. We fill ourselves up with daily wisdom ( reading our Bible) to stay filled with the truth, receiving our daily bread from the Father and keep a listening to Him for instructions on decisions, and where and how we should spend our time. Afterall, He created it all and most certainly knows best. 

 

If you are still waiting on prayers for your health, your family, or your relationships, remember these verses and keep them close. God is working things out and it’s time to rest and believe. 

Ephesians 6:13 

Psalm 46:10

Might as well start writing the songs, singing the praise and knowing that everything you’ve ever dreamed of is at your door. The only thing you need to understand is that there is only so much time in your day and now is the time to consider making the most important things the most important. There is a season for everything including the tears, the sorrow but with those come the glory days so rest this season in knowing the best is yet to come. 

Worship in the Splendor of Holiness Oh sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth! Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the LORD made the heavens. [ Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength! Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts! Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth! Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns! Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.” Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness. (ESV)

Balanced and Ready for action

by Claire Rae June 2, 2025
written by Claire Rae

After a little while..

In May I took some time to reflect, refocus and make some adjustments to my diet, sleep and work schedule. More than that to realign myself with the things that God is talking to me about these days. I always seem to find myself in conversations with people about relational issues and the things that are happening around us. Yes, diet is key to keeping a clear mind and energy for the things we are here to do. Sleep is vital for recovery and focus, and training is important to keep us strong and help us alleviate stress. With these things in proper working order we are better equipped to handle the matters of the heart. The world at large is lost and on an endless path of self destruction. People use all kinds of things to medicate their heart issues; Fast food, porn, drugs, social media, work, political obsession, extreme sports, stocks and crypto but they never seem to find satisfaction. It’s painful to watch at times especially when you see it in others and realize it’s a mirror to your own soul. We all struggle in one area or another trying to satisfy what only God can satisfy.

The main thing this month is that our relationship with God is the most important thing and if there is something off there, everything else in our life will be off in some way. We may pretend for a while we are fine as people can seemingly be doing just fine from the outside but eventually the cracks will add up and something will have to give way. God is always talking but are we listening? He is leading us in what we should eat, how we should think, how we should treat others, what boundaries we should establish but are we willing to heed the instructions? Or are we always going to default to what is fast and easy and self serving? All these things lead us to a wide but nasty path in the end if they are just filling the gap. There are two ways in this world; God’s way and our way. One leads to peace, love and fulfillment and the other to chaos and confusion.

 

Honest people will agree that life is ever changing and full of surprises and no one is as in control as they may want to pretend. Life, as predictable as it may seem at times is still always throwing curve balls and we need to come into a better awareness of what’s really going on and how to defend ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally and above all spiritually. Although there is always something new to research as age creeps in and rattles our homeostasis, it’s still not the main thing. Science is always spouting out this new product or that giving us quick options to mend our pain that again only God can truly help with. I’m not saying those things are wrong, just that sometimes an illness or discomfort is God giving us a nudge to talk to Him if we haven’t been taking the time to listen. I’m saying talk to him first and then reach for the way you should go and sooth the pain or discomfort. Science after all is the discovery of God’s creative ways of healing. He heals in as many ways as there are people and often in unique ways as He did in the Bible. One guy got his sight back with just some spit and mud (Mark 8:22-26). Don’t underestimate God’s cool and uniqueness for your personal healing. The things that a person needs to implement are seemingly never ending but I can tell you that it’s pretty simple… Trust God and spend time with Him daily. 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight

Proverbs 3:5-6 Tweet

I realize we’re all on different levels and paths and we all need reminders how to take care of ourselves but since the start of my health and wellness journey, I always believed that sharing knowledge and understanding was one of the main things I was here to do but more important than that, I was to model it and do what God was telling me to do even if it was unexpected or unpopular. I’ve made plenty of mistakes and God has been faithful to use those too to help others avoid some of life’s pitfalls. I can’t always post or be on all the time because that’s not what I have been called to do lately. God has me focused on my little community and the people here. He sends me people that need to hear about Him and need something physically or in a way of a word. It’s a simple kind of life but by far the most fulfilling I have experienced. I am beyond blessed in this current life of farming and community church living. I am in wonder of what’s going to happen next as I can feel that we, as believers are headed into a very exciting time. I have been seeing the rise of baptisms all over the place and my church of 20 people has rapidly started to grow. It’s an amazing time and although the world may seem like it’s falling apart, it’s actually God leading people back to the truth and back to Him. It’s awesome! The truth is the truth no matter what people say, God always has the last word.

 

All His promises are true, even if you haven't seen them yet!

Craephoto- Double Rainbow

The rainbow that I have put in the sky will be my sign to you and to every living creature on earth. It will remind you that I will keep this promise forever. 14 When I send clouds over the earth, and a rainbow appears in the sky, 15 I will remember my promise to you and to all other living creatures. Never again will I let floodwaters destroy all life. 16 When I see the rainbow in the sky, I will always remember the promise that I have made to every living creature. 17 The rainbow will be the sign of that solemn promise.

Genesis 9:12-17 CEV Tweet
A season of rainbows that helps us remember God’s faithful promises endure forever. When we don’t see our promises come to pass right away, we can remember Noah and him building the Ark for 100 years before the rain came and although the promise was marked with great destruction, it was a promise for a better life and a new beginning. Every time I see the double rainbow I think of the times in my life where there was great turmoil, only to be blessed double for what I lost. His storms are always followed by extra special blessings.

Health Tips for June

Go on adventures whenever possible. Schedule them in and make the time. Spend time in the forest or natural whenever you can. Go to natural hot springs and spend time listening to water rushing by. Listen for the still small voice and pray. Ask for wisdom, ask for forgiveness and deal with any unforgiveness in your own heart. Remember we all make mistakes and ultimately everyone is doing the best they can even if it’s not the best. Remember, bitterness and unforgiveness causes illnesses. Let things go, though not always easy, ask God for help in the areas you are struggling. 

Spend time with your community, find a way to serve and be in the lives of people of different age categories. Spending time with the elderly will help remind you that all things vain end and there is no need to worry about your body from an exterior place. It’s easy to get caught up in this ( take care of yourself the best you can but don’t make it the main thing) External things are fleeting and for many people it only cause worry and stress. Relax, no one really cares and if they do they don’t really matter. Take pictures and make memories for the fun of it. One day you’ll look back and things will be so different than they are right now and you will be able to remember how blessed you were at different times in your life. Thank God for everything, even the bad things as they are all part of His growth plan.

May-We grow

by Claire Rae May 13, 2025
written by Claire Rae

May is the season for planting, which ultimately is the beginning of a new season of growth.  We may not see it at first but sometimes disappearing for a while to do the work; be it study, training for a race or competition or just resting while you wait for the seeds already planted to grow is the best thing you can do. We need to always remember there are many seasons in life but there is a time for them all.  If it’s a dark season for you by chance, make sure to remember that’s where the most growth happens; in the dirt/dark. That’s where we learn to trust God in the process of where we are headed next. 

 

May Flowers

The very best part of those spring morning runs are the flowers that meet you at your resting spot.

I’m also taking time this month to learn new things, plant new seeds and focus on staying consistent in my training and self care. I hope you do too. I always find the summer gets crazy and there never seems to be time to catch up. Make sure you get outside and take advantage of the better weather and enjoy all the amazing flowers and earlier sunrises. Perfect time to get in a run before the start of the day.

The Legend- A testimony of a life transformed

by Claire Rae March 4, 2025
written by Claire Rae

This was a different kind of post for me but I truly felt led to share  this story. Today, I lost another friend that although had changed their life in terms of drug addiction and alcoholism, they  were dealing with the long term effects and eventually succumb to illness and passed away.  It grieves me to see so many people waiting so long to get free and how it hurts so many people but with this story there is hope and with God all things are possible.
