May Flowers . . .

The saying is usually April showers bring May flowers.  Well, around here lately it's May showers as well.  And right now there are showers of 100% Pure Essential Oils possibly coming your way.  I wanted to remind everyone that there is still time to jump in on an amazing deal!  If there is a specific essential oil you are wanting to try, I would love to order it for you at my cost+shipping.  Some of the most popular oils are lavender, melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree), frankincense, peace & calming, Thieves, and peppermint.  But, honestly, there are so many of my favorites that it's hard for me to list only a few.  There are still so many people that are maybe somewhat skeptical about starting to use essential oils.  I can understand that as I used to be in the same place.  But, once I started trying one or two and experiencing great results, I tried more.  Now, I am a believer in how well they work to support all the different systems of the body.  If you're interested in trying 1 or 2 oils, please contact me.  You will then be entered in a drawing to win of the 3 free oils I got this month: Cedarwood, Melrose, and Manuka.  Cedarwood has a warm woodsy aroma that creates a comforting, uplifting experience.  It's a great way to enhance your beauty products - it can help to smooth the look of skin and shine hair.  I use it to help me get a great night's sleep.  Melrose is a blend of oils with powerful cleansing properties that support the appearance of skin.  I put a drop of it in my moisturizer before applying it on my face.  Manuka supports the appearance of healthy-looking skin, reduces the appearance of blemishes and can be added to your favorite skin care products.  This is also one I add a drop of to my moisturizer.

Or, maybe you've decided that you're ready to really experience 100% pure essential oils in more depth.  Well, then I have a great deal for you.  I highly encourage you to purchase the premium starter kit.  You will receive 11 essential oils, a diffuser, sample bottles, roller filament, product guide and sample packets of oils, and 2 Ningxia Red samples for only $160 minimum.  This kit alone is worth over $300.  If you purchase a premium starter kit, you will be entered into a drawing to win a free dew drop diffuser valued at $83.  EEK!!  I don't know about you but those are some amazing offers.  I would love to journey with you to help you on your path of health/wellness.  To order the premium starter kit CLICK HERE.

Sweet Dreams!!

       I don't know about you, but I cannot sleep if my hubby is sawing logs.  I would sometimes have to nudge him constantly - he would be quiet for a short time, then start sawing logs again.  So frustrating!!! Well, I've found something that has helped tremendously!!  Valor from Young Living has given me my quiet nights back.  Just a drop on each of my hubby's big toes before bed, and . . . silence. The most sound I hear now is an occasional deep breath.  The other night he forgot to put it on and the noise was unbearable!!  So, I made him get up, put on some Valor and I was able to sleep in quiet. If you are interested in learning more about Valor and it's other uses and any of the other products, Young Living provides, let me know.

Striving for . . .

Sometimes (actually a lot of the time), Jesus has a way of speaking right to you.  You often don't expect it, but there it is - TRUTH!  I've known Jesus personally for a long time - since I was about 6 years old.  But, no matter how long I've known Him, He still surprises me and amazes me.  He surprises me in the way He speaks to me - whether it's through a book, devotional, friend, or simply by the sunrise.  He amazes me in that even when I've known Him for so long, He continues to love me and forgive me despite the fact that I'm always messing up, always failing, always turning to other things/people instead of Him.  I often don't give Him the quality time He deserves.  I get so consumed with connecting in some way with people whether through social media or face to face that I often neglect the One I should connect with the most.  When we continually go to the One who made us, that's where our true validation is and not from the world.  The world never validates us for who we truly are and that's where our perpetual discontentment comes from.  The world's standards are vastly different than God's.  We will always feel empty if we try to fill ourselves up from the world.  But, if we seek Christ and to be filled by Him, then, we fill fulfilled.  
Last year I sought to get healthy physically.  I saw the path I was on and sought to change the direction I was headed.  I worked hard and lost a lot of weight.  I feel and look great!  But, how much time and effort did I give to my spiritual health last year?  Did I work hard at losing the weight of what the world's standards have put on me?  Did I strive to fill my heart with His truth, His love?  Did I seek Him to be spiritually cleansed?  By the world's standards, I'm healthy.  But, what really matters is my spiritual health - all else is temporary.  I told myself last Fall that I was going to put more focus on my relationship with Christ.  I long for His closeness.  Yet, I continue to do what I don't want to do - pursue worldly connections.
Then, late Fall, early Winter, I decided to set out on a new adventure - pursuing a business by helping others on their journey to health/wellness by educating them on how Young Living Essential Oils can aid in helping them stay above the wellness line and keep their bodies in balance.  My passion for this endeavor grew and continues to grow.  So, yet again, something is starting to consume my time/thoughts/energy other than Christ.  Now, I don't think my endeavor is wrong by any means.  But, last night as I was doing my devotions, I was convicted by God.  Have I truly sought God in my new business?  Have I talked to Him at length about my heart/passion?  Has He given me His blessing to move forward?  I've prayed about it here and there, but have I truly sought His guidance?  Earlier this year I bought the devotional book "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young.  I loved the fact the daily devotions were short and written as Christ talking directly to me.  The following is taken directly from the entry for March 8:
              SAVE YOUR BEST STRIVING FOR SEEKING MY FACE.  I am constantly communicating with you.  To find Me and hear My voice, you must seek Me above all else.  Anything that you desire more than me becomes an idol.  When you are determined to get your own way, you blot Me out of your consciousness.  Instead of single-mindedly pursuing some goal, talk with Me about it.  Let the Light of My Presence shine on this pursuit so that you can see it from My perspective.  If the goal fits into My plans for you, I will help you reach it.  If it is contrary to My will for you, I will gradually change the desire of your heart.  'Seek Me first' and foremost; then the rest of your life will fall into place, piece by piece.  1 Chronicles 16:11 says, "Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always." Matthew 6:33 says, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
WOW!! Talk about conviction.  My heart's desire is to honor Christ with my life and give Him glory.  I pray that I will take this devotional to heart and truly "SEEK HIS FACE."  The blessings I will receive as a result of pursing Christ, will be immeasurable.  And the blessings may not be material or monetary, but rather eternal.  As I continue to pursue my new business and passion, I pray that I do so in a way that puts God first and His plan for me.  I know God will honor my efforts in a way the brings glory to Him.
