The Hope I Found In Essential Oils
I remember when and why I first started using doTERRA essential oils.
I had struggled with tendinitis in my wrist for months and honestly, felt like all hope was lost. The pain and inflammation just didn’t want to cease.
I asked God what He was trying to teach me. I wondered if this was my version of a thorn in my side. I was unable to workout like everyone else in the gym and was unable to do simple things like wash the dishes properly.
Many said that it was only for a season and that I would look back, having overcome. And to be honest? I didn’t believe them. I simply lost faith and lost hope that I was ever going to get better.
During this time, I was also trying to think about what else I could offer to my clients and those around me, to improve their health in natural ways. Essential oils came to my mind and I started sharing with a few friends about my desire to try them.
Then by chance, or well by divine purpose, TWO people gave me sample of oils. They first asked me what I would like oils for and the FIRST thing out of my mouth was something to soothe the pain in my wrist. The SECOND was to alleviate the never ending cold that didn’t want to leave me.
So they gave me a sample of Deep Blue soothing rub for my wrist and On Guard protective blend for my runny nose and cough.
And you want to know what happened? The tension in my wrist started to subside, the hoarseness in my throat started to get better and now six months later, I am back in the gym actually doing movements I couldn’t even do before I got injured. And! I really haven’t had a major seasonal threat, runny nose or cough since using the oils.
And that is why I can’t stop talking about essential oils. Because through them, I found hope again. I was given something natural from the earth God created to sustain us and evidently, heal us, that changed my life.
I felt like I could live again, that I could do the things I loved to do.
So more than this being a business for me, it’s about offering hope. If just ONE person could experience freedom in their health like I did, then it would be worth it. If I could just share with one person the good news of essential oils, then it is worth it.
Just like starting anything else, there are days when being an entrepreneur is simply just hard. You invest so much of your time and resources and wonder if it will ever go anywhere. But it is this hope that I hold on to, this promise of healing and restoration. The promise of hope in essential oils.
Where have you lost hope in your health?
Maybe you’ve given up believing you will ever get a full night’s sleep or that your headaches will ever go away. And maybe you are even like me, struggling with pain that just won’t seem to go away.
My friend, I’m here to tell you that hope is here. I’m here to say that a loving God in Heaven created natural plants, flowers, grass, trees and more to nourish us, sustain us, calm us, energize us, and in the case of my story, begin a healing work in us.
Me to the far right, still doing what I could with my wrist not being 100%
Today marks 1 year ago to the date when I injured my wrist and later got tendinitis because of it. And although I struggled to see that there was a purpose to me being injured that long, I now see there was. Not only was I introduced to the transformational power of essential oils, I have shared oils with countless people and have witnessed transformation in many of their health and lives.
So was there purpose in my pain and suffering? Yes, there was. For as Paul proclaimed in 2 Corinthians 12:10, God’s grace was sufficient for me in my weakness..Therefore, for the sake of Christ, I will delight in my weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, and in difficulties. For when I am weak, not only am I strong, He is strong and His glory is shown.
Hurting my wrist and having to have faith that God would heal it called me to a deeper level of reliance on Him. And He came through, just like He always does in the form of essential oils.
And now, I work out and do things with my body in the gym that I never thought I would be able to do again all because of the hope, victory, and strength I found in essential oils.
Want to see what transformation looks like in action? Watch the video below of me doing power cleans in a workout for one of the first times after not being able to do them for around six or so months because of my wrist.
Now you tell me – do these oils have power? Yep, they sure do 🙂
P.S. Just noting that it wasn’t the workout itself or fitness program that hurt my wrist. It was me then not listening to my body when it said it was hurting, and then still using my wrist in ways I shouldn’t. So my advice to you in that is: always listen to your body when it’s telling you something 🙂
P.S.S. If you are interested in learning more about essential oils and how they may be the answer to your health concern as well, I would love to chat with you more about it. You can schedule a time with me >>HERE<<! If you don’t see a time there that works for you, please email me at madewellky@gmail.com so we can work out another time 🙂
