It had been one of those days..... You know, the ones where you just need to get a minute to yourself, or you might lose it? Mommy just needed some quiet time. So, when my husband got home that day, I grabbed my camera and walked out to the backyard to practice my macro photography. I walked to the west side of the yard and started happily snapping away as I enjoyed the sun hitting my back. It was completely silent, and I was very happy to get a moment of peace.

The sudden searing pain shooting up from my back quickly stole away the peace I was enjoying. Then the all familiar buzzing started to get louder in my ears. I ran toward the house clutching my camera and trying to get the bee out from under my shirt. The buzzing was getting louder behind me as more bees took up the chase. I made it to the porch and as I did another bee found its mark right on my forehead. 

I stripped off my shirt and quickly ran inside. Leaving my camera where I had quickly abandoned it on the porch. I ran to my room and with the help of the mirror was able to see the stinger that was left in my forehead. I removed it with shaking hands as I was trying to breath through the pain. The tears were streaming down my face even though I wasn't crying. The pain was just so bad that it made the tears keep coming.

My husband came running into the bathroom to help. I had him put some essential oils on my back where I had been stung multiple times. I was in so much pain I now can't recall what exactly he put me.

Fast-forward a couple days and I noticed that my face wasn't quite looking normal. As the days passed my face morphed into what you could say looked like a Klingon from Star Trek.  It was sooooo bad! It got to the point where I couldn't even open my eyes.(see picture above


I had been using essential oils, but my body had gone into such crisis that the essential oils were too much. I had to stopped to give my body a break and the swelling had gotten pretty bad. Following the short break of a couple days, I introduced Roman Chamomile essential oil to the regimen. Within one day the swelling went down so much so, that I could finally open my eyes!(see picture to the left) I was blown away with how much it had helped. I will never be without this amazing oil again!

The loud pop silenced the chitter chatter of the kids. The shattering of glass and the big thump as the tires of the van rolled over the pile of glass that used to be a window startled me. The van swerved as I wavered in shock trying to comprehend what just took place.

I quickly pulled over and got off the busy roadway so I could collect myself and make sure everyone was okay. It was so hard to wrap my brain around the fact that we had just been shot at. WE WERE SHOT AT!?! With shaking hands, I put the van into park and turned to make sure each of the kiddos were okay. They were all alive, Thank God! They didn't even have one scratch on them, God's protection is indescribable. They glistened in the sunlight that was shining through where the window used to be. Even their eyelashes had itty bitty shards on them. They were all shaken and in shock. "Mom??", "It's all okay," I said, " you all are okay."

I took a deep breath and dialed 911. The lady on the other side who answered was calm and patient as I tried to calm my thoughts and describe what happened. 
Them: "Did you see the person who shot at you?" 
Me: "No, I was driving with my kiddos and paying attention to the road." 
Them: "Then we are unable to do anything for you."
Me: "........What?" 
Them: "Since you can't ID the person we have nothing to go on."
Me:  "oh..." 
The phone clicked.

I was left there on the side of the road, my children shaking and glistening in the sunlight because of the shower of glass that was sprayed on them. I felt abandoned, alone and unable to protect my children, even though I knew in my heart that their protection is in God's hands. 

I made the next call. My husband was shocked, and I could hear the emotions making his voice shake as he asked if we were all okay. After hanging up I took a deep breath clenched and released my hands and put the van into drive. We drove slowly home.

I knew I had to help each of us work through the trauma that had just taken place. Thankfully I had a specific lineup of emotionally supporting essential oils. I took each oil and diffused four drops of each in each of our rooms every night for a month. The amazing thing I saw was how uniquely each of the emotional releases that my kiddos had were. Some cried, some had bloody noses, some had accidents (when they had never had an accident in bed) and so on. But within that month they each improved and slowly healed. I thank God for His amazing gifts and care of us!

Do my kiddos remember the incident? Yes. 
Do they get scared thinking about it? No.
Do I get scared thinking about it? Not anymore.
Am I able to finally drive on that road without shaking? Yes.
God is good.

Peppermint & Lavender Essential Oils

I had just finished serving lunch to my kiddos and was getting ready to get my lunch together. I was proud of the fact that even though we had run out of peanut butter I was able to make some nut butter from the mixed nuts I had in the pantry. 

As I stood there at the counter, I suddenly became aware of uneven and labored breathing coming from the direction of the table. I dropped what I was doing and rushed over to my daughter. Her face was becoming splotchy, and her breathing became more and more labored. I was in a panic. 

I quickly ran to get the vitality peppermint essential oil and stuck it on the tip of her tongue, all the while I was praying with fervor. She had never shown signs of being allergic to nuts, so this took me completely by surprise. I started packing everyone up in the car to head to the children's hospital. Praying ever so desperately. I was not a stranger to food allergies as I had experienced them myself. I also grabbed the lavender and rubbed some on her neck and over her heart before buckling her in her car seat.

5 minutes later we were on the way. Trying to adhere to the rules of the road while concerned for my daughter was no easy task. My lips were moving silently, and my own breathing was quickened by concern. By the time we were halfway to the hospital the red splotches had disappeared and her breathing was back to normal. I couldn't believe it! Pulling to the side of the road I took stock of my daughter's vitals. She was completely fine and back to normal. You would have never known what she had just been through.

God led me in each moment of that day and saved my daughter from the allergic reaction she had. Who would have thought she would be able to eat all nuts after that!

"Mom! It HURTS!" the cries from the other room slowly got louder as my daughter limped her way to where I was.

She had caught her pinky toe on the corner of what she was rushing by and broke her toe. It was already turning a deep purplish-blue color. I quickly grabbed some grand fir and copaiba essential oils. I applied them right away and her crying started to calm and subside. 

I asked her how it felt and she sniffled and smiled at me as she informed me that it had stopped hurting.

I made sure she elevated her foot for most of that day. Every day after that whenever she felt any throbbing or pain we would immediately apply more of the those two essential oils on her toe.
Within two weeks the coloring was practically normal and she was able to wear her shoes again and walk without limping.

I am so happy that her foot was able to heal itself so quickly and that the essential oils were so supportive and helped her so much!

Frankincense Essential Oil!

Frankincense Essential Oil!
(Affiliate links are included in this testimony)
My introduction to essential oils is pretty dramatic. I was not what you would call a crunchy mama but a do it yourself hard workin' mama.


Through my first two pregnancies my foot was somehow introduced to plantar warts. They had basically taken over the bottom of my left foot. (Gross, I know!) I had over 23 warts just on my big toe not counting all the ones across the ball of my foot. 

To take care of these I had to undergo acid treatments every two weeks. They would apply the acid then the next appointment they would rip and cut away the scabbed areas and reapply the acid to the raw wound. (It was painful!) during the months of getting treatments I was caring for my two toddlers, one of whom had multiple therapies a week among other appointments, all on one foot. (I got really good at balancing and hopping around on one foot. I also could only stay upright for short stint since my foot had to stay elevated for most of the time. Crazy times! 

Eventually it got to the point where surgery was needed. The surgery was going to remove the bigger warts that had gone all the way to the muscle. I was informed that I would probably not have full range of motion with my toes afterward. I got the surgery done but it didn't work and another surgery was going to be needed, all the while the acid treatments were still taking place. But before the second surgery could take place I found out I was pregnant with my third child and that the drug that was going to be used in the surgery would cross the placenta barrier. I was advised by another doctor that the baby and I should not become a statistic for this drug and to wait for the procedure.

So I decided to wait until after I gave birth. At this time I was approached by a good friend who used essential oils. After all the copays, acid treatments, and cost of the surgery (that didn't even work), I was ready to try anything. Then the life changing frankincense was introduced to me. I bought it because I was desperate! By the time I gave birth to my third baby the warts were gone and I had full range of my toes. The scar was even mostly healed.
My life was completely changed and I have been using these precious gifts from above ever since!
