Our Story

I was at a turning point in my life, my old job had let me go and I had to decide if I wanted to find another job in the same field or look for something new. I was given the opportunity to start over by doing what I love, helping others, but I was able to do it in a better way! How you ask? I’d love to share with you my journey, but first let me show you where I first started.

A day before Christmas 2015 I hurried to get the last minute things done, I wanted the floors and the rest of the house to look nice for when the entire quest arrived. I pulled out my cleaning supplies and began to clean my house. You know the stuff; we all buy it at the stores. So I grabbed my Clorox Tilex Mold and Meldew and started spraying my floors. The smell was too strong so I stopped and grabbed a mask for my face. (That should have been my hint to not use it AT ALL, but it wasn’t. I didn’t know any better.) With my mask now on I continued to scrub my floors with Tilex on my hands and knees which took me about an hour - hour and half. Once I was finished I helped my son, who was 2 at the time, pick up his toys in the den and then we continued to clean up the rest of the house. My son loved to help me do things around the house. He was always right by me “I help you momma” he would say. A few days had passed and both my son and I had developed a serious upper respiratory issue which lasted both of us well over a month. I assumed we got sick from someone over the holidays, like I said at this point, I didn’t know any better. January 30, 2016 I took my son to the doctors because his upper respiratory problem wouldn’t go away and his breathing had become shallow and he had become lethargic. Once we got to the doctors, they gave him a bunch of tests and medicine. I was thinking ok good now we will be able to go home and he will start to feel better, but that was just where the nightmare began. The doctor came in the room and said ‘“We are sending your son to the hospital by ambulance, about 90% of his left lung is blocked and he is having trouble breathing. He has RSV.” Dumbfounded I gathered my stuff and followed the EMT staff as they wheeled my son into the ambulance. The next 3 days were a blur of nurses and doctors poking and prodding my son with tubes and needles, while he screamed for me to hold him. I couldn’t get to him because they had him in this metal bar crib that looked like a cage. During the quite times when I could bring the bars of the crib down half way, I would squeeze my body into the small crib to wrap my arms around my frail son who now had wires, tubes and IV’s running from every part of his body. He stopped eating, he would barely drink, his temperature would not drop below 103, this was a fight for his life! I got down on my knees and I prayed “Lord, I will go where every you lead, I will follow where every you take me, I will do anything you want!!! PLEASE don’t take my son!! Take ME!!!” I gave my life up as a sacrifice to God, so that my son could live! The Lord knew it then, I just didn’t realize it yet. It took 2 long, hard weeks for my son to recover, but thank the Lord he made a full recovery!! A year later I felt a calling from God about the promise I made to Him to live my life His way, to follow Him where every He leads. I told Him I was to busy!! How quickly we forget what HE has done for us!! A couple months went by; I lost my job, and I could hear plain as day from God “Are you buy now?” He was reminding me of the promise I made to Him, that I will live my life sacrificially for Him no matter what comes my way! God sent me a friend who introduced me to Young Living. Since then my whole life, my families whole life, has never been the same. We are now living a chemical-free life one day at a time using God’s oils and it has changed the way I look at everything; from what we put on our skin, to what we put in our mouths, from what we use to clean our house!!! If we can’t pronounce it than we don’t use it! There is enough chemicals in this world that we can’t avoid, I’m not going to add more to my family when I know how harmful they are and what they could be doing to my family!! There is a better way and I’m soo grateful I have the opportunity to share it with others! Thank you Lord for taking the worst time of my life and using it for good, for Your honor and Your Glory!! Amen!
