Emotions Anyone??

We all have emotions! Many Many Many emotions. Sometimes they can be hard to understand. Sometimes we wonder "why am I even feeling this way?"when there is nothing really wrong in the first place.

I've totally have been there. When my husband and I got married I was still learning I could manage my emotions. I didn't realize at the time that some of the things I was feeling was because of anxiety. Everything after getting married was so new to me. I had a husband who I only had known for 6 months prior to getting married. I moved to a whole new state leaving my family and childhood friends behind. Lastly I had a new family whom I had to get to know because I only met them once before getting married. It also took me three months to find a new job. Emotionally everything was extremely hard for me.

I remember when my husband would leave to go on his hunting trips I would always start a fight before, or get emotional and REALLY sad and cry A LOT. This happened for the first 3 years of our marriage. So last year we sat down before his trip and talked. Through the guidance of holy spirit during that conversation God revealed to me I was dealing with issues of abandonment from when I was really young. At the age of six years old I was taken from my biological parents and placed into foster care. I felt scared, abandoned and very alone. That same abandoned feeling would come up every time Zack would leave for his trip. 

The last two years as Zack's trip approached we hadn't had any problems. God revealing that to me helped us diagnose the problem. So even when the feeling did try to arise I would run to God's word. This year I started to feel that way as Zack's last trip was getting near. The Lord showed me through his word that I was never alone and God would never abandon me EVER.  He brought me to Psalm 91:14 "...[He confidently trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never abandon him, no never]. All we have to do believe and trust him at His word. God doesn't lie if he says he will never abandon us we can trust Him.

If you haven't read Psalms 91 I truly encourage you to do so. It bring me such comfort in the hard time and even more peace in the good times.

So in closing I just want to say emotions can be a tricky thing. Sometimes they can even stem from things that are lingering from our past. But God knows us, he knows our hearts and he wants you to lean on him for help. He will show you how to manage your emotions. Just seek him and get in the word of God daily. It will change you for the better!

God Bless

How Essential Oils Healed My Husband Cyst

Essential oils are a power natural way to help heal your body.  Before I jump into how essential oil help my husband let me tell you a little about what essential oil are. Essential oils are highly aromatic substances found in specialized cells or glands of certain plants. They go through distillation process and are bottled and are used for their therapeutic benefits.

Our story:

My husband had a awful acne cyst that started out small and started to slowly grow. He left for about a week to go on a hunting trip and when he came home his cyst had ended up growing a little bigger then a quarter. It bulged out and was super painful for him. The last time he had one this bad was before we were married. He had to get a round of antibiotics and then the doctors cut it out.

So this time around I told him, "Babe, I would like to try something before you go to the doctors." I am a huge believer essential oils and aromatherapy. He was skeptical but let me make up a blend for him.

With in a week and a half, things started to improve for him. The cyst came to a head and he was able to drain it slowly and safely. He told me his last cyst never did that! He was so happy. I had made an essential oil believer out of him!

Here's what I did:

In a 5 ml Cobalt Blue Orifice Reducer bottle I added Jojoba Wax, Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) essential oil, Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) essential oil and Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) essential oil. 

I get my essential oils and cobalt orifice reducer bottles at aromatics.com. You can use my link to get $10 off your first order. aromaticsinternational.com/?ai=Z95QtrIqSB

Why I chose each oil: 

I chose Jojoba Wax as the carrier oil because my husbands skin is pretty sensitive and this oils is very skin loving. 

I chose Frankincense for it's skin nourishing properties and that it helps to prevent scaring. 

I chose Lavender for it's antibacterial properties and for the fact that it reduces pain (which the Cyst caused him a lot of in that area). 

Then last I chose Tea Tree because it's amazing for getting rid of acne because of it's antibacterial properties and it reduces swelling (which there was a LOT of).

The Recipe:

I filled the Colbalt Blue Orifice Reducer bottle about 1/3rd of the way with Jojoba Wax. Then I added 25 drops of Tea Tree oil, 20 drops of Lavender and 15 drops of Frankincense. Then put the cap on and mixed it up. 

He applied it topically to the area 2-3 times a day with a cotton ball or q-tip. As the symptoms lessened he backed off and only applied it 1-2 times a day.  

I have gone through some aroma therapy classes so I had some prior knowledge before making up this blend for him. I made sure if was safe for my husband to use by making sure I used a carrier oil.  I don't recommend making this blend without it.
