Schedules, School, Housework, and Oils

To anyone trying to get ahold of me or meet up, etc., I apologize. I've been feeling very overwhelmed between finally having the kids on a good schedule and school, keeping up with the house (I know, it's not always a priority), my dōTERRA business that's really starting to take off, and RoBrotz gone with the World Series (for those of you who don't know already, he works in TV and travels a lot). I'm certainly ready for the end of baseball season. But that doesn't end our (or his) busy season.

RoBrotz will still need to travel to winterize parks. We have Little Man's Mustache Bash to begin planning and hold. Then we have the holidays, which mean lots and lots of holiday vendor shows. And thank goodness I've almost completed my Christmas shopping.

Starting a business is hard enough. Throw in a traveling spouse and 3 small kids, and you have a recipe for exhaustion! Thank goodness I work with essential oils that are amazing and help me to relax a bit. And don't think I'm whining about it either. I absolutely LOVE my new business adventure and I believe 100 % in the products and helping others to learn how to take control of their own health.

Every once in a while, someone tells me, “well, why don't you just put the oils stuff on hold for a bit?” NO! It has become my hobby, as well as my passion. I need something that is mine. I enjoy going out, meeting new people, informing them about essential oils, and teaching them how to take control of their family's health and wellbeing.

Don't get me wrong; I adore my children! But some days, I need to still hold true to my individuality. My children will grow and become independent, God willing. Even now at preschool ages, they have their own personalities. They have likes and dislikes that are completely different than my own.

God has been blessing me in many different ways. I am so very thankful to Him and all His love. When I begin to feel overwhelmed, I will be remembering what Pastor Kevin said today at service, "When you are feeling down and in the valley, hold on to the promises that God has given you." I will hold on to the promises.
