Do you know that just holding a cup of coffee, not even taking a sip, can lower your bodies frequency? What is MY solution to that? I drink my organic coffee in the morning and then I douse myself with oils to raise my frequency again!! When you drink your coffee and don't use essential oils, your body can take up to three days to restore its frequency levels!
Did you know that Young Living Rose oil has a vibrational rate of 320 MHz?

The scale begins at zero; here, no energy is cycling and no signs of life are present. Frequencies can be separated into three ranges:
1. Low Frequency Oils that support physical ailments.
2. Mid Frequency Oils that promote emotional change.
3. High Frequency Oils that encourage spiritual growth.
What does that mean? Our bodies and brains resonate a cohesive frequency. Testing at Weber State University produced these results:
Human Brain 72-90 MHz
Human Body (day) 62-68 - (Optimal health)
Cold Symptoms 58
Flu Symptoms 57
Candida 55
Epstein Barr 52
Cancer 42
Death Begins 25
Fresh Herbs 20-27
Dry Herbs 12-22
Processed/canned/cooked food 0 (canned food has no life)
Essential Oils range from 52-320
Overhead lights, TV, microwave, cell phones and computers all have in-cohesive frequency which FRACTURES our body’s energy system.
So if we want to increase our health on a mentally, physically or spiritual level; essential oils are vital. Nothing else we can apply topically or take internally can touch essential oils on the vibrational scale. Other tools such as meditation, prayer, EFT, also powerfully affect the vibrational rates. Combining these tools with oils creates a powerful synergy.
“Everything is alive, connected and changing, yielding its own life force. This flow of
energy can be quantified, typically measured in units called hertz. Named after Heinrich Hertz,
a German physicist who experimentally proved the existence of electromagnetic waves, hertz
(abbreviated Hz) can be defined as electrical energy transmitted as a series of cycles, equal to
one cycle per second.
How does this relate to vibrational frequency? Everything in nature vibrates. Vibration can
be defined as ‘a periodic motion of the particles of an elastic body or medium in alternately
opposite directions from the position of equilibrium when that equilibrium has been disturbed’.
Put simply, your body and everything in the environment are made up of trillions of tiny
molecules, all constantly cycling and moving, emitting a vibrational energy. As the cycle of
energy vibrates at a more frequent rate, the vibrational frequency raises.
The vibrational frequency of essential oils are measured in megahertz (abbreviated MHz),
which cycle at a rate much faster than electricity, equal to 1,000,000 cycles per second.
The frequency of the oils we use is determined by heat of processing, pressure, time of harvest, genetic variety, altitude…so many variables. Young Living not only meets, but exceeds AFNOR (French) and ISO (International) standards. Young Living owns the largest acreage of organic farms world wide. They reject 60% of the oils that are grown in our partner YL farms, as they don’t meet the AFNOR standards. Each plant has a specific healing vibration. If poorly grown or distilled, the oil resonates at a lower frequency, missing its full restorative potential. Essential oils in the US are governed by the perfume industry. The label can read “100% essential oil” and often is full of extenders or are chemically distilled. Do you know how your oils are produced?
Young Living has the most pure and highest grade oils because of the Seed to Seal Guarantee that we have and the quality and commitment that entails. Every drop of oil in the bottle you hold has all the constituents present because of the care and research that Young Living takes the time to do.
Love your oils! Use them for health, life and restoration of the mind!
My advice for all the oilers out there has been to purchase your summer oils during the winter and purchase your winter oils during the summer to avoid out of stock issues and to make sure you are always prepared so when your family falls below the wellness line, you can start helping to boost the body immediately before the issue takes root. Inner Defense is one of those products that I will never be without, all year long, but especially during the winter. We always keep two bottles on hand for unexpected issues.
In times of need, let Inner Defense work overtime to support your body! Inner Defense is the perfect supplement to support your immune system during the winter months. This supplement is filled with powerful essential oils which help reinforce systemic defenses, create an environment that is unfriendly to yeast and fungus, and promote healthy respiratory function.
Inner Defense contains potent essential oils such as Oregano, Thyme, Lemongrass, and Thieves. These oils are rich in thymol, carvacrol, and eugenol for immune support and work together to support you overall health and wellness in times of need. This supplement is packed with potent essential oils and we suggest taking it with food or something fatty like almond milk or almond butter. Essential oils are fat soluble and taking it with something fatty will make it sit better in sensitive stomachs.
Take 1 softgel daily for support as recommended on the bottle or personally our family uses it only in times of wellness distress and then we take it 3–4 times daily (1 every few hours with a full meal) when your body is below the wellness line. The softgel capsule has been reformulated with fish gelatin to remove the need for carrageenan and beeswax. For best results use Life 9 8 hours later. If you have kids that are battling something, or you struggle to take capsules, you can pop a hole in it and apply to the bottoms of the feet, even on littles, to help their little bodies fight.

Palo Santo, great for cellular integrity, beautiful skin, emotionally calming, great for “knees and their cartilage” and anything that ails you! It’s a powerhouse oil!!
Palo Santo is an exotic essential oil single distilled by Gary Young at Finca Botánica Aromática, Young Living’s Ecuador farm. Palo Santo has a rich history of usage among Native Americans, who used it to purify and cleanse the spirit from
negative energy. Palo Santo is a Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ essential oil harvested in South America,
belonging to the same botanical family as Frankincense. Palo Santo has traditionally been known as a spiritual oil, and its name in Spanish literally means holy or sacred wood. For thousands of years the Incas used Palo Santo essential oil to purify and cleanse the spirit from negative energies. Only the branches and trunks that have fallen naturally are gathered; no living trees are cut or harvested.
Primary Benefits
+ Purifies and cleanses from negative
energies.
+ The aroma supports meditation and deeper
concentration.
There is some incredible physical and emotional benefits, look it up in your desk reference!
How To Use
+ Diffuse in a Young Living diffuser
+ Massage 2–3 drops on joints to reduce bone - My husband and I mix it with Lemongrass and Copaiba and rub on knees daily.
discomfort.
+ Apply 2–3 drops on minor bumps or bruises.
+ Apply to complement your normal skincare
routine.
+ Wear as a perfume to release negative energy.
Did you Know?
+ Palo Santo essential oil is rich in healthenhancing sesquiterpenes, monoterpenes, alpha-pinene, and limonene. (Limonene is almost unheard of in trees)
+ Palo Santo comes from the same family as Frankincense. Like Frankincense, Palo Santo is esteemed for its ability to uplift the mood.
+ Palo Santo wood matures over time, after the tree has died, developing a chemistry that makes a powerful essential oil. The same chemistry does not occur in cut branches or the wood of cut trees.
Enjoy this oil, it is incredible!

I was brought up believing in God. Not the Bible but God. Although my mom would tell me after we would say prayers before bed “don’t pray for big things because God is too busy for that”.
My Faith in God was always surface level. I felt condemned by him, I felt judged by him, never love but only anger.
Fast forward to loosing two spouses by the age of 36! I would make it through life after loss out of my own strength. I questioned where God was in all of it. Why would he punish me like this? I knew I wasn’t a perfect person but I thought I was a good person.
I was pregnant with my youngest when my late husband died. I couldn’t understand why God wanted me to be a single parent to even more children? Why did he do this?
Desperate one night when all the kids were asleep, I cried out to God to either take me or change my life. I had it good in most people’s eyes even after loosing my husband. I lived in a nice house, I was able to stay at home with healthy kids, I had family and security. But I was miserable inside. Empty, lost and I didn’t understand why I could have be blessed so much but be so unhappy.
Two days later, after crying out to God to take me, a friend asked me to go to her church. I was taught growing up that if I went to another church other than the one I grew up in that I would go to hell. At this moment, I felt like I was in my own personal mental hell so I decided to go. People there were the opposite of the church I grew up in. They were smiling, warm, welcoming and loving. It all seemed weird but something inside said “your hearing truth”
My life changed when I started to read the Bible and see what God said for myself instead of just living off of traditions of man taught to me as a child.
God started to show, in very tangible ways, how much he cared about every little thing in my life, and every big thing too. I could write a book on the things He did for me, now that I was listening, to see how much he loved me, despite my imperfections and lack of attention to him all my years of living.
Little did I know how he was building my Faith to help me endure the thing I always said I could never endure. The loss of a child. Giving a son up for adoption when I was only 17 threw me into severe emotional turmoil that lasted for years. Then to have another child taken from you, was the ultimate mental anguish.
In 2007, on a beautiful Saturday morning, I awoke and spoke with my oldest daughter briefly. Then I proceeded to make breakfast and go back to my room to read and pray for my kids. After a time of praying, I went to my daughter’s room to find her tragically gone. I can’t describe the rest of that day because I don’t remember much. Other than throwing my Bible at the police when they arrived. This was the one thing I had always said I would never be able to survive. Why God? Why?
I was mad at God but also the work He had been doing in me had taught me that the number of days we have on this earth is only known by God and we cannot change that. We don’t have the power. I had also learned and experienced and knew that God did not cause evil in this world but man does with his greed and pride and selfishness, at the root of all evil. God allows, and uses bad things in our life to teach us and create a good work in us, he does not causes the bad. Why would God allow, most of us would say, but He works in ways that man cannot understand and in hindsight, always for our benefit. Even in times of trial and deep loss, God is helping us grow into the people he designed us to be.
That day forever changed me. At the time I thought my kids would all be destined to be messed up adults, and I assumed I would never find joy again, and never experience happiness. The worst had happened and I could not, at that moment, even imagine that I would ever find the good in this tragedy.
It is true that we experienced years of heartache and pain for every holiday, anniversary, and tears whenever I would see a teenager. I mourned so deeply, daily for my kids who not only lost their father but now two siblings that they were robbed of ever knowing. The pain was deep but Gods grace and mercy for me took me on a journey of experiences that are beyond describable to show me that He was with me. He put people in my life that would help us, comfort us, serve us and befriend us when we needed it.
The Bible became my strength to understand Him more so I didn’t blame Him but saw more and more each day of how He was working things out for my benefit, so I would be a better mother and friend and Christian. He taught me I could trust Him when I wanted to give up, because He would give me the strength to go on. He would help me raise my kids and show me that He would care for them even when I felt I wasn’t doing a great job.
The most tragic of days slowly and beautifully started to get better. The healing is slow. The healing is hard. The healing only comes truly when you allow God to be your source and not on your own strength.
Years later in 2019, God blessed us by answering years of prayers to be united with the son I gave up for adoption when I was a teen. It came about in the most unusual of ways but the kids were so excited to meet the brother they always heard of and I saw how God weaved this gift into my life’s story that he is writing for me.
I will never get to see Megan get married or have children or grow old, but I do get the joy and peace knowing that she loved Jesus too, and put her trust in him and is safely in His arms where I will see her again.
God has walked alongside me through the most horrific losses and yet He brings me peace that can come from nothing on this earth. He is sovereign over all things, including our time here and He continues to work through every mistake I make, every prayer I pray, and I am so ever grateful that he is in charge and I am not. His will and plans are perfect unlike mine. 💜
When you put your trust in Jesus, all things will become clear, all the pain will be used for your benefit and you will see the goodness of God in your life. I guarantee it!

WISDOM FROM GARY YOUNG
Collected from lectures, recordings, and the D. Gary Young Blog
Why did I create this formula? The essential oils in Valor were used by the Roman soldiers before battle to promote courage during a time of physical and emotional challenges. All of us go through physical and emotional challenges. I made this blend in 1990 because at that time I was having a confrontation with the IRS, and I had to go to Seattle for the hearing. I was representing myself in court because I couldn’t afford an attorney. I was really scared. I’d never been in a court with the IRS before; this was a first experience.
I made Valor the night before, poured it in the tub, and then bathed in it. At that time I was living in Spokane where I had a little farm I was starting. I drove to Seattle, stayed in a motel, got up, went into the hearing that morning and presented my case. They made me feel like I was less than dirt. But I stood my ground and argued my points, and then I left. Two weeks later I got a certified letter in the mail announcing to me: Mr. Young, we’ve heard your case, we’ve reviewed it, we have accepted your presentation, and we have dropped our issues against you. So I won on all 42 counts. That was a big accomplishment for me. So, Valor became very, very dear to me and has been a very powerful oil blend ever since.
Valor is superb for balancing the body, for empowering.Blue tansy is in it. Frankincense so you can come from a spiritual space.
Valor at the bottom of the feet, up the spine. Valor balances physical, emotional and mentally. It facilitates everything else that you do, keeps you at peace and balance. Aligns the skeletal system.
VALOR BLOOD CELL RESPONSE
You will never look at applying Valor the same way ever again after watching this!

Have you ever tried Clarity oil blend? Have you had high chemical exposure? Do you have trouble thinking clearly? Do you have trouble remembering things? I have a great testimony from my 25 year old SIL. He started a new job in a factory about 9 months ago and before then has had a great memory. After working at this job, being exposed to many forms of chemical agents, he started forgetting things at home once in a while, then it became more often, and then more often. As of a couple months ago this memory loss started affecting his job performance. They came to me and my husband and asked what could be done. My husband has a history of working with this industry and knows the harms of the agents my SIL is exposed too. After looking through our desk reference, we found that Clarity oil blend is known for supporting your body and brain for things such as this. Pure essential oils are powerful agents that reach every cell in your body and cleanse and renew, giving your body a good scrubbing inside for lack of better words. After two days of using this oil on his temples and brain stem many times a day, my SIL noticed slight improvement. Within 4 days of using the oil several times a day, as many times as he could think to apply it, he noticed dramatic improvement. It has changed his world. Its an oil they will keep on hand to use daily! If you have not tried it, I would grab yourself a bottle and see for yourself. This is great for anyone who has trouble concentrating and keeping thoughts together.

Are you under stress? Here is our CortiStop {Supplement Spotlight}
Chronic stress can wreak havoc on the body. We all experience it at some point. Even things that don't seem too terrible can add up, placing stress on our bodies.
When stress hits, our cortisol is released. Sometimes cortisol is a good thing. It drives our fight or flight response in dangerous situations. But when too much builds up it can have some negative side effects.
CortiStop helps bring balance back to the body. It's designed to be taken for 8 weeks and then not taken for 2 to 4 weeks.
No one is immune from stress. So we can be thankful for tools like CortiStop to help our bodies react to it well. I have used this many times in the past to get through traumatic times when situational stress is unavoidable. It's a game changer!



Super B {Supplement Spotlight} ITS FREE this month!
B vitamins are essential for our bodies to function well. We need it for our moods, hair growth, energy and clear thinking. We can't store B vitamins, so we need to get them in each day. They are especially essential when you are pregnant. I always took my multi-vitamin and extra B when pregnant. B vitamins are water soluble so your body excretes what it cannot use.
Super B gives you all 8 essential B vitamins - B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12. The folate (B9) comes from lemon peels, and the B12 is the more bioavailable methylcobalamin.
Super B is your Super BFF for supporting mood & energy!

Are you ready for Summer bugs and crawling irritants? I have to say that I have been making my own mixture of YL oils for many many years for outdoor fun BUT then came Young Living's Insect Repellent. Premade, no mixing or blending. It is an easy, safe and healthy repellent that you can use on babies on up to adults. You can save money by stretching it and apply it easily with this amazing spray bottle from Amazon and some alcohol free witch-hazel. It sprays on evenly, is not sticky or dangerous to leave on your skin, even overnight. You know, when you have your kids playing outside until midnight with jars collecting firefly's and they fall asleep without a shower, you don't have to worry because the ingredients in YL Insect Repellent is safe and harm free unlike commercial repellents. This bottle has changed my life as we have a wooded property that our friend allows us to use for a second garden and where our chickens are housed. It is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and I don't need to worry about bites when I use our oils! I make no money off of recommending this bottle, but it is seriously the best tool for hacking our Insect Repellent. The label for the Amazon bottle is made separately. Let me know if you want the information for the stickers! Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09MPDFKC3?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR0haM4WAClVqtgq8XwgEXuixXXdPO-GVRdYC4wmLycbGAgI_kEB4pZKmoc_aem_AbG5ECsoqLtrVtMJmHvMqzg805Dn7Cugya3DqNLo8SxRj6VqdKoKh78lT95wAMexRlOv74zzdrOUL7ZuSQ-YxV3i


I was here preparing my order for June before our upcoming travel and I was going to order a 30 pack of Ningxia to keep us healthy during the trip, then I scrolled down a bit and saw this beautiful deal.
So for $97 I can get a 30 pack of Ningxia Packets which are the best for travel since they don’t need to be refrigerated.
BUT for $112.00 
I can get:
AND 1 box of Nitro, which I wanted anyway but I was debating spending the money on them (these are made for adrenal support and help you stay awake naturally without jitters for about 7-10 hours for those long vacation drives)! 
AND Orange vitality - sleep, emotional calm, lymph, and it smells like summer. It tastes great in a vanilla shake or your water.
AND Lime vitality - respiratory support, lymph, insect deterrent, mental clarity, healthy digestion and tastes great in drinks and guac.
And I’m only paying $15 more than if I was to only buy the 30 pack of Ningxia.

Progessence is a women’s hormone balancer and even young women who need to balance out their cycles can use it. You need hormone balance every day of your life so while this isn’t for women younger than teen years, it is even for us older women who have gone through “some changes”
. It’s known as the happy hormone and it’s gifted me many a grandchild by helping keep those needed hormones balanced in our family. 


Rosemary helps combat all the negative EMFs that we combat daily and helps with our cognitive function. It’s great to diffuse or apply on the brainstem daily for a health brain function and memory.
Patchouli is great to diffuse with Tea Tree to help either those bitter feelings. I know some people hate the smell and I used to but I love the smell now when diffused. It’s great to apply over your liver if you are struggling with feelings of bitterness. It smells great diffused with Lime as well, together its very cleansing to the air. It also helps keep the bugs away when you put it in your outdoor spray mixture.
Ylang Ylang is great for all those sexy feelings. Put a couple drops in the diffuser with Orange oil when you want to get romantic. Or on your wrists or brain stem. It can drive a man wild sometimes. It is mostly loved for its internal use (drops in a capsules) or external drops on the carotid arteries for a healthy blood pressure.
The lavender lip balm is not only smooth like silk on your lips but also great to keep in your purse for the occasional paper cut , blemish or irritated skin spot or when you are out and about and don’t have a carrier oil. It is a multi-use wonder.
Enjoy the month of May and all the freebies Young Living loves to spoil us with.

Why is Mineral Essence a crucial part of health?
It's the most superior mineral product and the absolute best way to get magnesium.
What form of magnesium is it?
Mineral Essence contains the naturally-occurring magnesium found in soil, so it is not a "form" since forms are lab-isolated. The largest source of magnesium is saltwater, but then from there the mineral is processed with a natural chemical to create a form. The word after magnesium in forms indicates which natural chemical it is generally processed with (ie magnesium "oxide"). However, Mineral Essence is naturally-occurring magnesium from The Great Salt Lake in Utah without further processing.
How is it better than other mineral supplements?
This ionic mineral supplement also contains dietary therapeutic essential oils for more bioavailability than any other ionic mineral product.
In testing the absorption, volunteers consumed a teaspoon of liquid trace minerals without essential oils. Each volunteer experience diarrhea within 24 hours, demonstrating that they weren’t able to absorption it all. Following a cleansing period of several days, the same volunteers were given a double dosage of the same liquid trace minerals blended with essential oils. None experienced diarrhea.
This demonstrates the synergy of minerals and essential oils to boost the body’s absorption. Because what good is a supplement if your body will just poop or pee it out?!!
How do I take it with that TASTE?!
Yes it doesn’t taste great. Try these ways to get it in:
1) Sublingually—This is the way I take it most often. There are no tastebuds there
and it gets into the bloodstream quickly which is especially important if you need instant magnesium for any of those icky effects of stress or when you need some instant brain clarity!
2) In empty capsules. Young Living sells empty vegetable capsules that fit a dropperful of Mineral Essence perfectly in each one! Pro tip: don’t make them ahead of time or you’ll have a gooey dissolved mess 
3) In a little bit of yummy liquid like NingXia Red. Just be careful not to use something high in sugar like orange juice or not too much of it since that can raise blood sugar which will demand more magnesium from the body.
4) Straight up or in a little water and lemon juice and honey or stevia.
How much do I need?
The recommended dosage is a good starting place to start but for me when I first started on it, my body was showing signs that I needed much more for the magnesium so I personally took twice that amount which subsided those signs quickly stopped. Listen to your body and remember that you are working to replenish years of not having enough as well as what your body needs daily! I now take 3 half droppers daily in my lemon water with stevia. And Sulfurzyme.
Great post from HfG
After a stressful couple days, today was a “catch your breath” day! Sitting at the lake, no to do list, no chores, no gardening, no weeding, no cooking and just looking at the clouds, the waves and listening to the songs of nature that God has created for us
Do you know the US ranks 3rd in one study of Skin can - cer around the world and we are one of the nations that use the most sunscreen? And there are more nations that spend more time then we do in the sun. Every year you are pummeled with the rubbish of “don’t go out without sunscreen on. Did you know you will get all the vitamin D your body needs daily by just being out in the sun without sunscreen for 30 minutes? Then after you have absorbed that natural goodness THAT we ALL need, you can put on a natural sunscreen that doesn’t contain ingredients that actually cause Can - Cer!!!! Vitamin D and sunshine also improve your mood
Common sense looks at all the nations that have people out in intense heat all day long, for thousands of years, without using sunscreen without high incidence of skin Can - Cer. I grew up without using sunscreen unless I was going to the beach and I brought up my kids the same.
A vitamin D deficiency is associated with multiple chronic conditions including the leading causes of mortality. Vitamin D deficiencies have been found to play a role in many conditions including cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and osteoporosis, and many other health conditions. Having optimal levels of vitamin D is critical for good overall health. (Dr Jockers)
Summer PSA: Oxybenzone in your sunscreen
Please go grab your sunscreen and look at the ingredients. I'll wait here
I betcha there's oxybenzone in it if you're buying yours from a grocery store, drug store, big box store or even health food store.
Did you know that oxybenzone is one of the highest-risk chemicals found in sunscreen? It acts like estrogen in the body, alters sperm production in animals and is associated with endometriosis in women. Studies on cells and laboratory animals indicate that oxybenzone and its metabolites may disrupt the hormone system. Um, no thanks. I'd like my girlie parts and my kids reproductive parts to not be disrupted, thank you!
A carcinogen is a substance that causes a cellular malfunction, causing the cell to become cancerous and thus potentially lethal to the surrounding tissue and ultimately the body as these rapidly growing mutated cells take over. With the surge in cancer rates among all segments of the population, many people are attempting to reduce or eliminate their exposure to carcinogens.
A lot of people opt for sunscreens with mineral sunscreen vs chemical sunscreens like zinc oxide, titanium dioxide or avobenzene instead. The problem is, titanium dioxide is classified as a carcinogen in a lot of countries and avobenzene can increase free radicals, which increase the aging process.
I searched for sunscreen that wasn't full of carcinogens. I found a few but they would leave our skin with a white residue or were really greasy. I also wanted to get a sunscreen that has NON-nanoparticalized zinc oxide since I didn't want the micronized zinc particles to absorb into my skin and then float throughout my body in my bloodstream. I mean, the whole reason why I was wanting a mineral sunscreen was so that it wouldn't go into my body!
I've been super happy with Young Living's Sunscreen, which goes on easily, doesn't leave a white greasy residue and actually works! It's got a SPF of 50, which means that if you typically burn in 50 minutes of direct sun and no sunscreen. Yes our sunscreen is safe for babies! Just reapply after 50 minutes in the sun just like all sunscreens.
AND it's reef-safe so it won't be killing all of the reef and coral in the ocean, which is important if we want to preserve our precious ecosystems!
Pro-tip: Unscrew the cap and dispense it from the tube itself. It comes out of the tube much easier


Cinco De Mayo is upon us and here is a great recipe to enjoy with friends! Lime oil is so inexpensive to diffuse, and its wonderful respiratory and lymphatic support. It tastes great in recipes when you forget to buy the limes, and it makes your water taste wonderful to help you drink more. Remember to never use plastic with Essential Oils. They naturally pull the petro chemicals from the container and it is not only not good to drink the chemicals but it will also weaken the plastic and you will find the container to break apart.

Have you tried Young Living toothpaste? Everyone that I know, myself included, who has used this yearly, has great success! Its on our order monthly! A long time secret of Young Living members, our Denterome toothpaste makes a great deodorant too!
Many people currently are going through so much loss. I have shared my own story of tragedy and loss on our You Tube channel in hopes to encourage and give hope to those who are hurting. Young Living oils were just a small part of our healing, as pure oils can affect the emotions and limbic region of the brain, but it wasn't the only source of our hope. I hope this two part video blesses you and encourages you or someone you love. https://youtu.be/NzXfpVF-Zys?si=OSF73yp4zUtvGZdCPlease reach out to myself or the person who signed you up, if you need assistance with your account, product usage, hosting a gathering at your home, shipping needs you may have or if you need prayer.
