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.

Health Benefits of Fasting

by Claire Rae January 16, 2025
written by Claire Rae

Fasting has become one of the top subjects for new years resolutions both for physical and spiritual reasons. If you are a fitness buff like me and also happen to be a Christ follower, you will notice how Jesus spoke of fasting in the Bible (Matthew 6 and also in the old testament ) . As there are more and more people becoming aware of God’s divine health plan for His people, science and the mainstream are just catching up to its benefits physically. Let’s not minimize the divine power spiritually it has on the believer in relation to the Father( God) but let’s go over some of the physical aspects so if you aren’t quite ready to deep dive into the divine, you can at least understand some of the reasons why Jesus said “when you fast” as in, it’s going to happen as a Holy Spirit filled believer,  you will be lead to do so at some point. Real believers follow His leading in the scripture.

Here’s what you might look forward to physically from what you might consider a challenge when you first get started, and why I always recommend a new years fast starting after the holiday feasting for a reset in your body and mind. For best results in all things pray and ask for help to do it healthily and holy.

Healthy Holidays- Foodie Friday

by Claire Rae December 13, 2024
written by Claire Rae

We are going to do just fine this holiday while we enjoy and plan our holiday meals. Sometimes it can be challenging but with the right mindset and some planning you can enjoy the holidays without over doing it. Try and give yourself a break and enjoy those meals and treat with a plan. Here are some top tips for surviving the holidays:

1. Plan Ahead

• Preview Meals: If possible, look up menus or know what will be served in advance to plan your choices.

• Pre-Meal Snack: Eat a small, protein-rich snack before gatherings to avoid overeating.

2. Focus on Portion Control

• Use Smaller Plates: It tricks your brain into feeling satisfied with less.

• Fill Half Your Plate with Veggies: Prioritize non-starchy vegetables to add volume without excess calories.

• Sample, Don’t Splurge: Take small portions of calorie-dense dishes.

3. Choose Wisely

• Prioritize Protein: Opt for lean proteins like turkey, chicken, or fish to keep you full longer.

• Limit Sugary and Fried Foods: Focus on whole foods and skip unnecessary toppings like heavy creams or gravies.

4. Be Mindful While Eating

• Slow Down: Eat slowly to savor flavors and give your brain time to register fullness.

• Avoid Seconds: Wait 10-15 minutes after finishing before considering more food.

5. Watch Liquid Calories

• Limit Alcohol: Alcohol can be calorie-dense and lower inhibitions, leading to overeating. Alternate with water or opt for low-calorie options.

• Skip Sugary Drinks: Choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea.

6. Don’t Skip Meals- Unless you are planning on intermitted fasting

• Avoid “Saving Calories”: Skipping meals often leads to overeating later. Eat balanced meals throughout the day.

7. Bring a Healthy Dish

• If you’re attending a potluck, bring a healthier option like a veggie platter, roasted vegetables, or a light dessert.

8. Balance Indulgence with Moderation

• Pick Favorites: Enjoy small portions of your absolute favorite holiday foods without guilt.

• Balance the Day: If you indulge in a big meal, eat lighter and nutrient-dense foods earlier or later.

9. Stay Active

• Incorporate a walk, stretch, or workout before or after big meals to offset some calories and boost metabolism.

10. Practice Self-Compassion

• One indulgent meal won’t derail your progress. Get back on track the next day without guilt.

Holidays are about enjoying time with loved ones, so aim for balance rather than perfection!
