Wow what an amazing, busy year it has been. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last day of 2016 is here. We have had so many amazing things happen to our family. Our family added a new grand baby. Noah Matthew was born on November 5th. He entered the world already <strike>spoiled,</strike> well loved. He came out looking exactly like his momma. Matt and Kristie are amazing parents and while Noah was not part of their 5 year plan they would not change anything. <br />

Jelissa got married to a man that we have grown to love like a son. It was a beautiful small wedding. While Jelissa was a very beautiful bride, Rylee stole the show. It was the first time in years that I was in the same place as all of my children. I loved every moment of it. Unfortunately Matthew was unable to make it. We did get a few great pictures. Julien and Jelissa are doing great. Julien is an amazing dad to Rylee. We could not ask for a better man to raise our grand daughter. <br />

While there was so many things that happened this year most of them were happening with our older kids. Another great thing that happened is Lakeisha got engaged. Titus, Keisha's fiance is an amazing guy that we love. He is in the military and loves Keisha very much. They are planning to get married on May 27th and we are excited to join them in the celebration. <br />

The Little's have done nothing but grow-grow-and grow. They have come through so much this year. They continue to amaze me every day. I am surprised that we get to raise them, love them and teach them about Jesus. They are like little sponges. Everyday they teach me how to be more like Jesus. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">One Little Word</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It can change a life. It can change the way someone lives. I think about words that have changed me.....</div>
<br />
1. Wife<br />
2. Mother<br />
3. Saved<br />
4. Grace<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">You get the point.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I decided to pick a word. One single word that I would pray about, meditate on, bring into my life like a close friend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I prayed about a word. I asked God to show me what He wanted me to concentrate on this year. Several words and scriptures came to mind but not until late one night did I know for sure what it would be. </div>
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Intentional</span></b></h2>
<blockquote style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 40px 40px 24px;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: red;">In·ten·tion·al (adj.) 1. Done deliberately; intended. 2. Characterized by conscious design or purpose</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: red;">1 Timothy 4:15-16</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: red;">15 Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. 16 Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.</span></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, how I want to be a women of intention. A women of purpose. I want to live my life doing things and only those things that have meaning/purpose. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My God is intentional, My God has purpose for everything He does. I want to be more like Him this year. I want my life to be deliberate. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I have made a journal specifically about my word. I will use it to journal about ways I see God teaching me to be intentional, with my husband, with my children, with those I come in contact with. I will bring this word into my home, and into my days. I will look at what I do and why I do them and cut those things that don't have a purpose. I want to live diligent in the things that matter. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you ever chosen a word for the year? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think about the idea of living that is purposeful, intentional?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Advent means the <i><span style="color: red;">coming or expected arrival</span></i>. It is a time of preparation. The Old Testament prophets prepared 333 prophecies of Jesus coming. In the New Testament times their prophecies were carried to fulfillment in the Birth of the Savior. John the Baptist reminded us to <i><span style="color: red;">Prepare the way for the Lord</span></i>. (Matthew 3:3)<br />
<br />
At Christmas, we are preparing for Christ's coming as well. We prepare our hearts as we seek to focus on the real meaning of Christmas: <i><span style="color: red;">Jesus</span> </i>is with us. Emmanuel means "God is with us." We are preparing our homes to reflect our joy in this season----festive, warm, inviting.<br />
<br />
We are preparing gifts for loved ones in other places and preparing for reunions with family members for whom we've been separated. <br />
<br />
But we are not the only ones preparing. God has been preparing Christmas for us. He has gone to great lengths to establish a setting, a name, a prophet and a women.--each incident a part of His unfolding plan to bring to us Someone Who would save us from our sins. The Advent Wreath allows us to focus each week on the real meaning of Christmas. Each week you light one candle in the wreath as you take time to share the wonderful truths of Christmas, the real meaning.<br />
You don't need a wreath or candles only a heart for Christmas, a heart wanting to prepare your family to take a deeper look into the Christmas Account.<br />
<br />
Here are some questions you can ask today. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In what ways did God prepare you for the coming of Christ into your life?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">How did He use people and circumstances to prepare you to receive His gift of salvation?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
Before sending my kiddos off to school I asked them to pray for one person they thought needed Jesus. <br />
My plan is to allow them to give a special gift to that person before Christmas along with a note that tells them that they have been prayed for this season. <br />
<span style="color: red;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: red;"><i>What other ideas could you come up with that will help your kids to focus outward this Christmas season? Comment below, maybe your idea will help another family. </i></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05550535016124603558noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1505575690338978773.post-33728575343258565402015-03-19T14:25:00.000-07:002015-03-19T14:25:02.530-07:00Dear David Dear David,<br />
<br />
Happy Anniversary my sweet, incredible, loving, handsome, husband. I struggle to put words to how much I love you. You will never know how much you have shown me what love is and how to do it well. Its crazy to think that 15 years ago we would be celebrating today our 11th anniversary. <br />
<br />
Our story is so cool. We raised 3 beautiful girls and are now God has us raising another 3 kids together. I listen to our girls talk about you. I have listened to them talk about how much they love you and how they want a husband just like you. You came into our lives when we needed you most. You have been a daddy to all our kids that most kids wish for. Your special relationship with each of them is so precious for me to watch. You had missed so many years of our older girls life but you spent everyday asking questions and learning about them. Today it is as if your were there from the beginning. I can remember the day that they called you daddy for the first time. I could see in your eyes how much your heart grew. They love you so much. <br />
<br />
I had not known the Lord that long and was longing to know him more and you helped me. Your love for him, that you had known for a lifetime, made me want to know Him more. <br />
<br />
Many people knew you. They knew this quiet man who spoke very little words and yet had a servant heart like know one they knew. You have always been so loyal to all your friends. You have always lived a life of your yes meaning yes and your no meaning no. Everyone knows if you say your going to do something you will die trying to make it happen. <br />
<br />
It amazing to me that a man who has seen and experienced in his life so much pain can turn that around and give so much love. You speak very few word in public because you hear very few of them correctly, which has hindered how you say words. If only every person knew what I knew. If only they got to hear you speak more openly about your love for the Church, your family, and your God they would know why I love you so much.<br />
<br />
We are the couple that many would never expect to be together. This extrovert who sticks her foot in her mouth much more then most people. She had just meet the Lord and was raising 3 young kiddos all on her own. She meets this sexy volleyball playing, children's volunteer who was passionate about life and had know the Lord all of his, introvert. We had our own plans for our life but praise God He had another plan. <br />
<br />
Many saw what we did not see. We were so happy to just be the best of friends. I'm so thankful to Curtis and Jennifer for providing a safe place that we could just come and be ourselves. I loved bible study and hanging out at their house like no place we have ever found sense. Our love grew for each other there because they loved us and showed God to us like no one, or no one place I had been before. Wow writing about them makes me miss them even more than I do regularly. <br />
I am so thankful for those days. Or as Curtis would say, my BD(before David). Lets not forget me and Jennifer praying in our small group for a good wife for you!!! Boy did God answer big for you...... :)<br />
<br />
David as I sit down and reflect on our life I am truly amaze. Not about you, not about our marriage while both of those are amazing. I am truly blessed at how God took this broken momma of 3 and turned my life around. He took ashes and turned them into this beautiful story, our story, His story. I was a women seeking and He came to my rescue. He showed me that while I believed I was unloveable that was a lie from the pit of Hell. He rocked my world and continues to do so today. <br />
<br />
I am in AWE of our great God. After he showed me Him, He showed me you. I had never in my life known what unconditional love was. Not even by my mother or father. I was looking to my God and expecting only what I had been modeled. He had a new way for me to relate to love. <br />
<br />
He would tell me everyday that His love was forever and that He was not the God I had pictured. That He was not just waiting to reprove me when I messed up. I believe that he sent me you to show me more of Him. To show me just a glimpse of how much He loves me.<br />
<br />
I have never been loved so much by a person. You love me for who I am. You have never raised your voice at me, you have never talked to me in a tone that was not loving. God knew what I needed and He gave me you. <br />
<br />
I love you so much David Leon Livingston. I am so glad that I get to live this life with you. Thank you for loving me and always excepting me, warts and all. Thank you for gentle talking to me when I mess up. Thank you for loving my kids like a daddy would. Thank you for being the head of our house and leading us like Christ leads his Bride. Thank you for putting up with me, that is 2 full time jobs. <br />
<br />
So today on our 11 anniversary I want to tell you how much I respect and love you. I hope that you know how much you mean to me. <br />
<br />
Love always and forever,<br />
Your blushing Bride<br />
Me<br />

Phenol essential oils purpose is to purify your cells. Imagine that each cell has a physical door. Due to chemicals, toxins, and cellular damage from life the door into your cells can become blocked. When this happens you see the decline of your health. Cells are often damaged by man-made products and medicines.</div>

Essential oils high in phenols are like a car wash. These essential oils cleanse the outside of the cell membrane so that OTHER essential oils, like monoterpenes, can then begin to do their job.</div>

I've signed up with DoTerra, as aWellness Advocate, what is the first things that you need to do?<br />
<br />
1. Make sure your back office is set up. – you will receive an email that will link you to your virtual office (doterra.myvoffice.com)<br />
a. DASHBOARD – Will show you your Loyalty Reward Point (LRP) Standing, your Qualifications, your Earnings<br />
b. SHOP – Where you can adjust your LRP monthly order, and make additional purchases<br />
c. TEAM – Find the details of your Organization<br />
d. MESSAGE CENTER – Where you can SEND and RECEIVE messages and notifications<br />
e. WEBSITE – Immediately visit this section and establish your Business Site Name.

With cards you can have people visit your site and order products. If they order you will receive a 25% commission. </div>
<div style="padding-bottom: 24px;">
2. Once you receive your packet and initial oils, ENJOY THEM! Realize that you have an amazing product in your hands.<br />
<br />
3. Write down every question you have about what you have received. In the beginning you will have a lot of questions. ITS NORMAL!<br />
<br />
4. Visit <a href="http://www.mydopro.com/" style="color: #cc9900; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">mydopro.com</a> and sign up so that you can watch videos and begin to educate yourself.</div>
<div style="padding-bottom: 24px;">
Please contact me if you have questions. </div>
<div style="padding-bottom: 24px;">
I get asked questions about how to use the oils all the time and asked the question myself when I started this journey. The answer that I will give to you is the exact one told to me...open the bottles and just start. Make sure you have a Modern Essential book it will be your Essential Oil Bible. </div>

One of the most common questions asked is “Do I have to promote or sell doTerra products in order to set up a wholesale account”? The answer is absolutely not. The wholesale program is in place to offer product users and business builders deeper discounts on dōTERRA’s many wonderful products. The wholesale program allows you to purchase products at 25% off retail prices. If you’re only interested in using dōTERRA products for personal use, but want to save money on all purchases, great. If you’re interested in building a business and taking advantage of the dōTERRA opportunity, wonderful! There are many advantages of being part of the team, including 100% support, training and a proven marketing system to help build your dōTERRA business.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you’re interested in the wholesale account because you want to earn uni-level commissions, fast start bonuses, team bonuses and take advantage of the dōTERRA opportunity then a monthly 100pv autoship order is required. We know that building a business takes time and spending $100 per month before you even have a team in place is unrealistic to most. So there is no obligation to start the autoship program until your business is growing and you can recoup some or all of your investment in commission checks. This could take some 30 days – others a year, it doesn’t matter. You build your business at your pace!</div>

The cost to open a wholesale account is $35.00. All wholesale accounts come with a free business website and virtual back office where you can place orders, track orders, access product information and business building tools. The only obligation to keep your wholesale account active so you can continue to enjoy 25% off on all dōTERRA products is you must place one order per year (no set amount) and there is a $25.00 per year renewal fee, but dōTERRA sends you a free 15ml bottle of their delicious Peppermint oil to offset the cost, so really only pay $5.</div>

So if you have known me for any amount of time you know that I don't like feet. Feet and me just have a dislike for each other. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With that said I took an Aroma Touch Massage Class while back to get certified and guess what??????</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In order to get certified you had to perform an Aroma Touch and you have to be given the massage.(yep some touches your feet)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, long story short......I had to touch someones feet <span style="font-size: large;">I did not even know</span>. Thank you Lord she had <span style="font-size: x-small;">small feet</span> and they kind of reminded me of a child's feet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway I spent the whole time praying for this beautiful women and that I would not throw up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God Loves me I made it through!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Any Who, there is a lot of talk about putting Essential Oils on your feet. I find this fascinating. Why? the feet, have you looked at those things YUCK. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God did something amazing with those two things we walk on. He put tons of pores on them. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Did you know there are 4,000 pores on the bottom of our feet? When you apply essential oils to the bottom of the feet it hits your blood stream in 30 seconds and goes into each cell in 20 minutes. The oil can pass through the lipid membrane of the cell because it's made of oil.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is amazing to me. Sometimes people don't want to use oils because they feel they will have to wait to long for results, like with tension in your head. This is just not do the oils hit the blood stream and start doing their thing in minutes. WOW</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So where on the feet should you put the oils? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm including a chart to help you know where to apply the oils. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you are interested in learning more about Essential Oils, want to try a sample of an oil, or want to know how to take charge of your own health care contact me I'd love to help you. </span><br />

So if you have kids this is an oil you should know about. I took 2 of my kids to have a Zyto scan (will talk more about this in another post) They both scored very high for needing Lavender. If you are like me and your kids get hyper and hard to calm down then this is your new best friend. I love it. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px;">
Now many use this oil for sleep. For some reason it did not work as well on our family for sleep. We use cedar wood instead and LOVE it. Remember our body chemistries are different so if an oils does not work like it did for your friend don't be discouraged another oil will work for you. </div>

**I want to put this out there. I have had people tell me "oh I can't use lavender I'm allergic or it breaks me out. I want you to know that the lavender candles and scents you smell in laundry detergents or lotions are not 100% Therapeutic grade oils. So give Lavender another try you will be amazed.** </div>

Lavender (lavandula angustifolia) is the most versatile of all essential oils. Most commonly known for its relaxing effects on the body, therapeutic-grade lavender has been highly regarded for the skin. It may be used to cleanse cuts, bruises and skin irritations. The fragrance is calming, relaxing and balancing – physically and emotionally. Carrying a bottle of lavender around with you is like having your own personal first aid kit, perfume and pick-me-up.</div>

Rub 2-3 drops of lavender oil in your cupped palms, then use the inhalation method to draw the scent all the way into your amygdala gland (the emotional warehouse) in your brain to calm the mind. Then, rub on the feet, temples, wrists (or anywhere) for an immediate calming effect on the body. Great for use in crowded areas like planes or subways to carve out your own personal oasis.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Thanksgiving was so wonderful. It may have been the best Thanksgiving ever. I have had many Thanksgivings but something was different this year. It was not that we were blessed this year more than years past but it was definitely how I looked at this year compared to others. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year was filled with such JOY. Joy for all that has been given and Joy for all that has been taken away. I have so much to be grateful for this year. I sat and counted and began to lose track of the number due how much He has blessed me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess some may feel that I need to not boast but because of Him and all he has done, for that I boast for that I will tell others, for that I will not keep quiet. I will not stop telling of all that He has done and all He promise to do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I spoke to my children about the Pilgrims and all they went through to be able to Worship God. I spoke of Squanto the Indian who was taken from his home to finally return many many years later to his home, and be able to help the Pilgrims. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing happened back then and nothing happens now that God does not know about. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am amazed at how God can take even the bad things that happen like a mother not talking to you, lost friendships, diagnoses that no mom wants to hear, and the list goes on and on and do such great healing. This year above all others I have learned to not look at my situation but at him and then stop and praise Him in all things. Hard yes, everytime no, but I'm still learning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I have learned to stop and find His blessings in all things. Some of these things have been hard. Some of them have hurt and yet in all of them I have seen his hand. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some pictures from My Thanksgiving Day. It started off with David and Keisha running a 5k. It ended with me counting my blessing for my husband, for my children, for friends, for hurts and even for broken relationships. Yes a lot has happened but in all things I will Praise Him. For He is good all the time.</div>

<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Determining which company has the highest quality of essential oils can be a very daunting task. Many companies say they offer “Organic Essential Oils”, “100% Pure Essential Oils”, or “100% Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils”. What does all of this mean though? <strong>Are different producers really that different and does the quality of the essential oils really matter?</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Essential oils can be life-changing when used properly. Their uses range from mood enhancement to reducing seizures, and everything in between. For those who have found pure essential oils they will tell you that <strong>quality definitely matters and that all companies are in fact not the same</strong>. These amazing bottles have changed the way we look at ailments and how we treat them. Gone are the days of cancer-causing, stomach-eating, liver-damaging OTC products that mask symptoms. We now use the best quality, safest, and most pure essential oils to address the health concerns of our families.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
The United States does not have a regulatory committee that oversees the production of essential oils. To which, you’re probably asking yourself this question, <strong>“How do I know which company offers the best essential oils then?”</strong> The answer is…Research.</div>

It takes a lot of time to personally research all of this though…and is probably the last thing you want to spend your precious time doing. So we’ve done it for you. We have taken the time to find out the different methods of growing, extracting, testing, and bottling, as well as learning how to use them safely. Below is what we have found to be the most important factors in determining what company really does offer the purest essential oils.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
It’s important to note that in our research, we found that most companies that offer essential oils do try to produce what they consider to be a high quality product. Sadly, many of them fall short of actually accomplishing that though.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong>Here is what we determined to be the most important aspects of producing essential oils and what you should look for.</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong>1. Sourcing</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong></strong><img alt="" class="aligncenter" src="http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/YRRoLiH3jTNfX9H4s_yEfV5okK4aYpWbzLzFjsBukPnGJbyt2OVSXB_3NySBKE_vhNT5nElIGMZFgsFgqtX2jvc7EDqtse37qJTziGfD89MR-Y5jt2g6" height="208px;" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px;" width="620px;" /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Sourcing refers to the location of which the plant is harvested prior to extracting the oil. Many think that lavender oil is lavender oil no matter where it is grown, but as we studied we discovered that the active aromatic compounds of a plant actually changed based on the environment it is grown in.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong>What to look for:</strong><br />
Each plant should be sourced from a location that promotes the growth of the plants natural concentrations of active aromatic compounds (basically the plant should be sourced from where it grows naturally to keep its original and intended compounds intact).</div>
<ul style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">No pesticides or chemicals are used to protect or enhance the growth of the plants.</li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">The grower harvests the plant at a specific time of day when all the aromatic components are present.</li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">The grower harvests the correct part of the plant that produces the best quality essential oils… eg. the bark, seeds, or the flower.</li>
</ul>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong>2. Extraction</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<img alt="" class="aligncenter" src="http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/m2FbHCEeeFc1LZtuZ1ZXoprxoBfnXDzo_HI0o4J0ExmEnJWBXrXLsE9w6UCIway3nH3cchUl5fAgdCV3A1WFpKhprXvT0YLXDNvVD-2pzjAoA-QIkqs" height="149px;" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px;" width="618px;" /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Extracting essential oils from plants is a delicate and complex process that not all companies pay close attention to. The composition of essential oils makes them very vulnerable during extraction because they evaporate easily and can be compromised. Essential oils are most often extracted from plants through distillation, a process in which steam is circulated under pressure through plant material, thus liberating the plant’s aromatic compounds into the steam. As the steam cools, the mixture condenses and the essential oils are collected in their pure form.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong>What to look for:</strong></div>
<ul style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">Strict monitoring of heat and pressure during distillation. Too little heat and pressure will not release the aromatic compounds of a plant, while too much can alter the delicate chemical composition and potency of the extract.</li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">Ensure that the plants are not treated with chemicals or alcohol. Not only can the chemicals be damaging to the plant, but it also leaves a residue in the oil which you then apply to your body or inhale aromatically.</li>
</ul>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong>3. Testing</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<img alt="" class="aligncenter" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/vLm-dQZBXtrzy10-Si0pbCAumWSJGnMB-rddqaTpL9aczIbODMsiBEZgjFKFs6F0JyhXwMSPgVBlbkktbJW15p9w3gckyv0hYDiHCwxLDDxuTxx-QtoE" height="220px;" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px;" width="619px;" /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
This step can be one of the most confusing of all because of the wide variety of testing standards…or lack thereof. Two of the basic tests that some companies will promote are the Gas Chromatography (GC) and Mass Spectrometry (MS) tests. Essentially what these tests do is separate the compounds within the oil, verify that there are no foreign contaminants, and make sure that the oil has it’s normal number of elements.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
While two essential oil extracts may be pure, they can differ dramatically in their active constituents depending on plant selection, growing and harvesting methods, and distillation. Ensuring correct composition of an essential oil requires both precise testing and accurate interpretation of results by credentialed chemists with expertise in essential oils.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong>What to look for:</strong></div>
<ul style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">Credentialed independent third party testing.</li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;"><strong>Every batch of oil needs to be tested with both the GC and MS tests.</strong> We were surprised to find many companies who only test once or twice a year or only when they found a new supplier. This allows for a great deal of fluctuation in potency and purity. Also, to pass the GC test by itself only 3% of the essential oil needs to be present. The MS test is what verifies if it is all essential oil or if it has been diluted. As Beth mentioned earlier this week, some companies don’t even conduct the MS test at all.</li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">Total Plate Count – the TPC is designed to test the essential oils against bacteria, viruses, and mold. This test is not conducted by most companies but is an extremely important test because it determines if the oil is potent and can be used to aid in fighting illness and other ailments.</li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectophotometer) test makes sure the oil is of organic origins. It also identifies the species of plant the oil comes from and whether or not it comes from one source. Here’s why this test is ran. Some oil producers will isolate a particular element found in, lets say Geranium, which is also found in Frankincense. They will take that element along with other frankincense elements that are found in other oils and make a cocktail of sorts and call it “frankincense oil” when in fact it isn’t at all. The FT-IR can determine if it is actually all from the same organic origin or not.</li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">Organoleptic Testing – designed to test for the right color, viscosity, feel, odor, and taste. One thing we found in our research was that synthetic oils can smell the exact same as pure oils. While it is important to make sure that the oils have all of these things it’s also important that this is not the only test that is conducted because many synthetic oils will pass this test.</li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">Shelf Life Test – With everything having expiration dates these days, it’s in the forefront of our minds when we look at products. How long will this stay good? When treated and processed with care, most essential oils can outlive you. Citrus oils are different since they are processed differently but they can still last for several years.</li>
</ul>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong>4. Bottling</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<img alt="" class="aligncenter" src="http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/V8PtvkD9o8aBhVsRpPivpzCc62PF0gfkmgVDsqxS8HFaic0wlyJXtHpCDxRC_UgYVN-yPhyyH5ZgxiaNAiUDjfP2u6IanvVw-MtzkumjFWrJS8jliVk" height="198px;" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px;" width="614px;" /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
While this step does not sound very important, it is in fact one of the most important steps. We discovered that when it comes to bottling the essential oils, some companies would use filler oils to dilute and make their resources go further. These companies label their bottles “100% pure essential oils” because that was all that was needed to pass the Gas Chromatography testing and make it to your home or health food store as a “safe and natural” product for you and your family.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong>What to look for:</strong><br />
Again, because synthetic oils can pass the “smell” test it’s important to make sure that the FT-IR & MS tests have been conducted. They determine whether or not the oil has been diluted and if it is a cocktail or the real thing. Some companies will use synthetic oils because they feel it is no different than the real thing, or they will dilute the oil so that it stretches further. This is why there can be a huge difference between the potency and benefits from different brands of oils. The proof is in the actual user-experience. We have found people that use large amounts of Oregano or Peppermint daily and when we offer to try our oils they are blown away by the difference.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Also, an easy test that you can perform is to put a drop of your existing oil onto a piece of paper. Allow it time to dry completely (an hour or so). If it leaves behind a residue or watermark, that is a good indicator that your oils have been diluted with a carrier oil.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong>5. Application</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<img alt="" class="aligncenter" src="http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/WE_OCpSuGH4klLiGXdeKDGRJNz6ifpixVOaiIRR9H0V1ym4iZRlItv1aCNCbCE0zXeAPGqXW7BBR83e9VJn798MERAY8nbzYcFlhPlU8L2niZF9wtBI" height="171px;" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px;" width="611px;" /></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
While application refers to the user experience of the oil, we include it here in our research as a critical piece of the essential oil puzzle. Many companies simply place their oil on a shelf and expect potential customers to understand what each one can do and how to use it safely. Finding a company that recognizes the importance of education and safe practice of their oils is key to a safe and user friendly application of the oil.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong>What to look for:</strong></div>
<ul style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">The company teaches and facilitates the responsible use of essential oils in health applications.</li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">The company works closely with healthcare professionals of traditional and alternative medicine.</li>
<li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">The company collaborates with universities and other research institutions to encourage continued study and application of essential oils in modern healthcare practices.</li>
</ul>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
<strong>6. Now what?</strong></div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Now that you know the “ins and outs” of producing the purest essential oils, where do you find them? After all the research that we conducted the only company that we have found that does all of the above is dōTERRA. We encourage you to conduct your own research and determine what you feel is best for your family but dōTERRA is the company we felt we could trust and that we could stand behind. Their products have empowered us to be in control of our family’s health.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
While this post is not intended to sell you anything we recognize that there are going to be people who want more information about these products and how to get them in their homes.</div>

I don't know about you. But antibiotics were a thing in our family while my girls were growing up. My girls would get your ear infections all the time. I would take them to the doctor and they would always prescribe an antibiotic like amoxicillin. I did not have any idea that most ear infection will eventually get better on their own (according to web M.D.)<br />
<br />
When my girls were young I knew nothing about the idea of taking control of my own health care. All I knew as a young mom was if your kid was sick you took them to the DR. <br />
If I knew then what I know now I would have made a lot of different choices.<br />
<br />
Essential oils can be the first thing that a parent goes to before choosing to use an antibiotic. There are times when an antibiotic might need to be used but it will not be the first thing that I go to now. <br />
<br />
Essential oils do not claim to cure, heal, or treat anything but then in comparison Dr's practice medicine. I would much rather not put synthetic medications in my body if I don't have to.<br />

<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>Esther 10</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What could be more important than a persons reputation. Well, a few things but it definitely ranks up there fairly high. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have always been concerned about how people see me. My reputation has been something that I strive to make sure is positive. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember thinking after I became a Christian that I wanted my kids to remember me when I pass as a bible thumbing momma. It is important to me for my kids to see me reading and living out the scriptures. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have always wanted to be seen as a person that loves her husband and respects and submits to him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want those looking at my life to know that yes I have made billions of mistakes but that my heart is not vindictive and that I desire to love more than I hate. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also want those watching this bleep of a life to know how much My Savior means to me and how He changed my life from ashes to beauty. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I finish reading the book of Esther I realized that the one thing that was keep intact was Mordecai's reputation. He had a good reputation among the Jews and the King. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was also a good reminder while reading Esther that even when the world looks like it is in the hands of evil people, God is still in control and he protects His people. Although we may not understand everything that is happening in our life we can trust that God is in control. We also need to maintain our integrity by doing what we know is right, even when it would be easier not to. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No matter how hopeless the condition, or how much we want to give up and throw in the towel we need to remember that God is in control of our world. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is sometime easier said than done. Our family is dealing with some hard things right now. I have ask God many time Why? and questioned His decision to have our family carry this certain cross. I keep hearing Him say "Monica I am God and you are not". Although I know this I sometimes act like I am in control. I try to act like I know better. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There could not be anything farther from the truth. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I'm asking God to help me and show me what I can not see for myself, I am also continuing to pray that the cross be taken. With that said, I end my prayers with but if you choose not to I will still serve you. I want to leave a reputation of a person that followed God to the ends of the earth carrying what ever my lot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the end I want to live a life that magnifies that He is God and I am not!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Esther 9</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">My bible reading today was from Esther 9. We see in this passage that the Jews have been given the right to defend themselves. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">We have here a decisive battle fought between the Jews and their enemies, in which the Jews were victorious. Haman has been killed and now his sons receive the same fate as he does. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">Reading this chapter I am struck by a few different ideas. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">The main thought is of Gods Goodness to his people. What looks like a total possible annihilation of the Jews turns out to be a victorious fight for the Jews. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">However, they take nothing from their victory in means of possessions. This was left because victory was not theirs but Gods. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">Interesting fact about this fight was that they </span></span><i style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">gathered themselves together in their </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;"></span><i style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">cities. </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">If they had not had an edict to warrant them, they may not have done it. Had they acted separately, each family apart, they would have been an easy prey to their enemies; but acting as one, and gathering together in their cities, they strengthened one another, and face their enemies. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">Wow!!! We talk a lot about relationships at MPC, about the </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;">R</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;"> in </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;"><span style="color: red;">C.O.R.E.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;"> (</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">C</span><span style="color: red; font-size: 14px;">-corporate worship, </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">O</span><span style="color: red; font-size: 14px;">-Others focused, </span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">R</span><span style="color: red; font-size: 14px;">-<i><u>relationship with other believers</u></i>, </span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">E</span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;">-education of Gods word</span><span style="color: #333333;">)</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">This passage talks about Gods people uniting together to defeat the enemy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">Today the enemy would like nothing more than to separate us so that he could pick us off one by one. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">However, when we are in fellowship with other believer, when we are standing shoulder to shoulder against the enemy we are able to stand stronger against the enemy and draw strength from one another. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;"><i>Today we see so many people bashing and talking about other believer or other churches. We see lots of people fighting and taking other beleivers to court over stuff. </i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;"><i>I think that we need to be very careful about this. Yes I believe that we need to warn people when false teaching is being taught or when something is being said that is unbiblical but bashing just to make ourselves or our church look better can be very harmful to the body. The big C-church as a whole. </i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;"><i>I don't say this without fingers pointing back at me. I have been guilt of this on many occasions. I hope that as I mature in Christ, I begin to see things the way He sees them. That my eyes are open to the things that hurt him and that they begin to have the same impact on me. </i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;"><i>I want to make it very clear however that when a church or its pastor begins go down a road that looks and feels unscriptural that they should be called out. I also believe that their are some that seem to look the part but if you listen carefully to their teaching you'll find that its really about them and not about God. I believe that scripturally as believers its the obligation of the church to point this out. </i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;"><i>This is very different than just talking down about a church or pastor to make yours look better. </i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Ok enough of that soap box!</div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">Sometimes when I'm wrapped up in my own problems my own stuff I stop looking up. I stop looking at where my help comes from. The Jews relied on the goodness of their God and the justice of their cause, and resolved to make their utmost efforts against their enemies. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px;">I need to remember that my fight, my enemy is not flesh and blood but against the rulers </span><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

I talked to my Team Members on Sunday about the type of vision we wanted to have-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Panoramic Vision</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
types of vision that we sometimes can have-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Myopic, tunnel, peripheral</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want for all of us to see the BIG picture. To see beyond ourselves, beyond what only our eye see. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vision is SO important. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I left Sunday feeling like oh I certainly have the capability of doing that in my Ministry but wow is that hard to do in my life, with my kids. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have began to read another book on prayer, which I am loving. It is by Stormie Omartian, called Just enough light for the step I'm on.....trust God in the Tough Times. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been enjoying this book very much. I have been doing the study guide in the back during my quiet time and have found it to be very good for my soul. I recommend buying it if you have not read it before. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I believe has been most fascinating thought is this over arching theme of trusting even when there is very little light. When I have not idea where the situation that God is leading me to or through is going to take me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Easy enough right...just trust God in the tough times? Nope not so easy. Even after all theses years. Yes I admit it has gotten easier, but definitely not easy. I have lots of reservations still. Which I know must hurt Gods heart. He has done so much and has never failed me and yet......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Life is a walk.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Each day we take</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>steps. Our tomorrow </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>is determined by </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>the steps we </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>take today. </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today as I continue on in my walk with the Lord I am choosing to not stay still but to take another step closer to him. Knowing that he will be there with me to help and support no matter what. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>MICAH 4:2</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
COME AND LET US GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
TO THE HOUSE OF THE GOD OF JACOB;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
HE WILL TEACH US HIS WAYS</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
AND WE SHALL WALK IN HIS PATH!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Sometimes, life seems to just go by day by day, month by month until you look back and think, wow where has the time gone? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are other seasons where you find yourself counting down the minutes. Realizing that you have managed to get through five or even 20 without thinking about this or that situation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God has made us so wonderful, this I know. My brain continues to think on many nights way past what my body believes is a good thinking time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes I have to talk myself down off the thinking train long enough to get a few good hours of sleep so that I'm able to function the next day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently my brain is in over drive. A desire for more information about certain topics is driving me crazy and maybe my husband too. God is continuing to talk to me and explain that He's got me and my family and that all the knowledge is not going to be enough because what I am lacking right now is........<span style="color: #741b47;"><b>FAITH</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seems like such an easy thing right? He has always been faithful right? He has never steered me wrong, has He? And yet when I come to this fork, the fork I've been to before, different situation different time......always the same fork will I choose to trust him or will I choose my own road I stand scared. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not because I don't know which way to go but because I don't have any control. When I feel a lack of control the forward motion ceases. I feel like I'm in quick sand. Have you ever felt that way? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh God why? You have not changed. You are still the same God as yesterday! Why do I doubt? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And so as I ponder choosing His way, living by <span style="color: #741b47;"><b>FAITH</b></span> and not by sight I will count because that is one thing I have not forgotten how to do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will count all the ways he shows up in my life. I will count all my blessings. I will count every way I see Him moving in my life and sometimes the way he sit right beside me while I cry. I will choose to even in the hard <span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Eucharisteo</b></span> count. I will choose to count I know how to count.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">thankful for western medicine and holistic medicine</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">for a husband who knows no end to the way he loves me</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">for the opportunity to be the mom to 3 little kids who came to me at different times, at different ages, but found their way to my home and into my heart forever </span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><b>and the counting begins, again so that I may see Him better </b></span></span><br />
