Out of the country adventure for my child!

This was written a while ago but just now finishing it and posting it!!!!!!!!

My daughter left this morning for her 1st mission trip and it is out of the country. (I haven't ever been out of the country) I am going through all of the emotions.... Happy, proud, sad, scared, excited, and even missing her already. On top of my daughter age 16 leaving us for about a dozen days. (leaving 2 days after Christmas, not coming home until after New Years and her 17th birthday) I also just went through a miscarriage less than 2 weeks ago. Part of me is feeling like I now have 2 less kids. Obviously it's not the same. Katie will be coming home when her mission is done. But my sweet little angel baby (Baby Tiny) will not be coming back. So I am surprised at how I am feeling today. Before I lost my baby I was super excited for my daughter and really felt so much peace.

After my miscarriage I felt a lot of fear for my daughter going and not coming home to me. With God's help I was able to take her where she needed to be and barley cried (&I am a crier). Let me mention that I do have a 2 yr old (along with 2 other children) that keeps a smile on my face and keeps me busy. I am very much looking forward to the day she comes home and being able to hear about all of her experiences. Please keep her and her team in your prayers. 

She is in Dominican Republic for 10 days. Since I had to drop her off 6 hrs away, I took her the day before she left and I will be picking her up 6 hours away the day after she gets back since it will be so late when she gets back.

I miss my Katie Bug! Even my hubby is missing her so much! He is taking her growing up a little harder than me lol

She makes us so proud! I am so glad that she has a good relationship with the Lord! I plan on posting after she gets home! She sent us a photo the other day. 

I think she is enjoying herself! I know she was excited to dive into the culture over there and share her life with them. She wants to be used by God and this time it was in a different way than normally. I think she will be making many more trips to many more places and sharing God's word with as many people she can. 

Essential Oils

I wanted to share today about a love of mine! I officially started the Young Living team Sept. 2015! I am now in the process of getting serious and building my business! I have used essential oils for years now. I put it in my homemade cleaners first. When I found out that there were different types of these oils I got very interested in learning more. I always want to do the best for my family and dislike chemicals. I don't want them in my body or my family's. Of coarse we do get some but we are working our way to a better life. Young Living essential oils have something that made me smile. They (we) have Seed to Seal which is amazing! Please ask me and I would love to take some time and tell you what this means.  There are so many oils.

Whoever has been wondering about this "new" thing... Let me just tell you oils have been around since the beginning. Look in the Bible and do some research. Count how many times it mentions oils. Young Living has many many oils. Frankincense is mentioned in the bible.


When hosting a class, you are basically just supplying a place for me to teach. Then invite your friends. A class doesn't have to have a certain amount of guest.  You can chose what time works for you and your guest. You can have little snacks. Sometime I will also have some others coming and sometime I will be bringing an oily snack.  I will teach and give everyone some information. What you do with the information is up to you. I suggest praying before your class (maybe even before you invite people)  If you are comfortable with it I can also open up the class with a prayer.

Your friends and yourself deserve to hear the information that I will be saying.  It's not secret, I love God and some of what I say is really just an extension to what God says in the bible about taking care of your temple (body). Again, what you do with the information is up to you. God also gave us the gift of choice. You may not do anything with it but soak it in. That is ok. Enjoy getting together and fellowship with your friends and family.
