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

 

Gotcha Matcha for Matcha Teas, Accessories and Subscriptions

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)

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!

Healthy living for every age

by Claire Rae November 5, 2024
written by Claire Rae

Healthy living is for every age and sharing is caring!

I want to continue to support everyone in their health journey. I believe that healthy people attract healthy people and healed people help heal people. A balanced lifestyle is one that has to be worked at and scheduled.

The best thing we can all do is live a healthy lifestyle and inspire and encourage as many as we can to do the same. Live by example and join those who want to make healthy choices. 

Things you can do right now to enjoy heathy living at any age:

  1. Plan healthy meals for you and your family. Consider others and their dietary needs. 
  2. Share a meal with someone outside of your own family and make it healthy. It’s always good to show others how and just to share.
  3. Plan weekly hikes or other exercise get togethers with friends. Gym buddies are great too and great place to hang out while working on your goals. I personally love a good game of pickle ball. 
  4. Pray with each other and show love and compassion to other people’s weaknesses. Support people who are trying to overcome temptation but abstaining with them.
  5. Support people in sobriety.
  6. Be honest with each-other in a kind but truthful way. Helping people succeed is best done by encouragement and support. Joining others in healthy activities and supporting them while making healthy choices.
  7. Balance is key. Keeping a journal of where you spend your time is a great way to make sure you are making time for exercise, family, friends, work, and very important rest. It’s also a good idea to track your diet when you start feeling low energy or low in your mood. There is often an imbalance somewhere that can be adjusted if you have a look. 
  8. Try and find people at your own fitness level to do activities with. It’s great to encourage others but you don’t want to be held back too often and you also don’t want to injure yourself trying to keep up with those more advanced. There is a time for all of it just make sure you have your own personal goals set first.
 
 
 

As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

Proverbs 27:17 Tweet

Making a healthy lifestyle change doesn’t have an age limit but making healthy choices early will be of benefit as soon as you get started. I invite you to join Shift 2025 starting in January. You can Register now!

Don’t limit yourself or let others limit what you can achieve. Make goals and put deadlines on them.
