Addiction

by Claire Rae
written by Claire Rae

I’ve honestly been putting off writing this post for a while now because for some reason it just felt too painful at times to talk about. Instead I usually just repost recovery stories in my Instagram/Facebook feed or bits about addiction and alcoholism to keep the message alive for those who either love someone who suffers from addiction or for those who may be fighting to overcome addiction. The truth is way more people suffer in silence than we know and that goes for both addicts and those that love them. 

Talking about it is just the beginning of healing…

I know where my help comes from

by Claire Rae
written by Claire Rae

Hallelujah

It’s a time to celebrate and just take a moment to be so thankful. March 2nd was Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. If you don’t know what that is, it’s the fast before Easter to recognize the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross for our sins. It lasts from March 2nd to April 14th this year. I have not always been an observer of this tradition but this year it seems important, not only because the state of the world but because of the personal understanding that I need God’s grace and mercy on the daily. I have so many things to be thankful for and in that, I want to make sure to revere God and His graces. Perhaps you feel the same?

Results are in

I got my results back from my tumour removal and it looks like it’s negative for cancer! Just an issue due to chronic inflammation which is still something I’m working through but a much easier pill to swallow. That is a reason to celebrate and praise God all day! I believe this was all part of a journey God has been taking me on to heal, learn, restore and then teach some valuable lessons that I can then share with you. I am beyond grateful for this report and feel so relieved to know that not only does God hear our prayers about health matters but also heart matters as well. He will work through the issues one by one if we are willing. 

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD. Isaiah 54:17

Moving Forward

As I move forward and work through the health issues, I believe I will be back in full swing sooner than later, at this point I want to call it all minor. I am working on a few things in terms of the spiritual aspect of healing as well that I hope will not only complete my healing process but also give you the tools when it’s complete. God has never given me a challenge without giving me the solution through His word and Holy Spirit guidance. 

As for Lent

There are few things people fast and I see this being highly beneficial not only on a spiritual aspect but also a physical. Here are a few things you could fast and are quite popular. It should be something that you do regularly that will bring Jesus to mind every time you reach for that thing. It should hurt a bit to remember what Jesus did for you, because what He did was unbearable to imagine. 

  • Fast social media
  • Fast sweets
  • Fast Coffee 
You know what your habits are, pick one that will give God space and time.

Sweet Nothings

Sugar the Silent Killer

It’s all fun and games until you get sick, I know all too well how easy it is to get carried away when enjoy the sweet stuff. No, it’s not everyone’s weakness but it is a major problem in our diets these days, the worst  part is many people have no idea that it’s the sugar in their diet that’s making them feel low, gain weight, have brain fog and be moody. Instead, people think it’s a variety of other things, run to the doctor only to get pills that don’t solve the simple issue; Simple sugars that are hiding in your diet may very well be a bigger problem than you may think.
