Why I use doTERRA Essential oils

4/14/2020

​​Hello there, Welcome to my site.

 I am extremely grateful for these essential oils that I have been using for five years now. One of my friends recommended these oils when I became very ill with Bronchitis which then led to Asthma. I was also having a hard time sleeping and had digestive issues.

 I started using DigestZine for my stomach issues which helped relieve a lot of my symptoms like bloating and nausea. I also used Breathe Essential oil and Breathe respiratory drops when I was having a hard time breathing and coughing at night. I also used Lavender to relax and help with sleep.

 When I got sick with Bronchitis, I found myself becoming allergic to so many things and one of them being was the cleaning products I had been using for years that had Clorox and bleach. I could not use them anymore. So, I ordered some onGUARD cleaner concentrate to make my organic cleaning products and added Lavender oil or Lemon to give it a nice smelling aroma.

 In these difficult times we find ourselves in with this COVID-19, these products are heaven-sent, especially since I have not been able to find antibacterial wipes and hand sanitizer, so now I am making my own using these products.

 I am very grateful that I became an Independent Wellness Advocate and enjoying the wholesale prices and rewards.
​
Enjoy searching through the oils and reading all the key benefits and uses. 

Blessings Isabel

Hosanna in the Highest

Happy Palm Sunday and Hosanna to the King.

Here is a song I wanted to share with you all.

Who is HE, the King of Glory, The Lord almighty!

My prayer is that we draw closer to Him like never before, as my pastor said this morning, that our paradigm would shift and give our hearts to Him fully. No greater sacrifice, no greater love, than the love of Jesus.

The Hope of Glory

Good Morning Beauties and Gents,

Yesterday, we put up some Christmas lights as a reminder that there is hope and that we are the light of
​
the world. I asked my husband if He would make a cross as a reminder too, that we look to Jesus, the

Hope of Glory and what He did on the cross for the whole world.

He died, resurrected on the third day conquering death.

Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
Isaiah 53:4-5


We are in a sobering season, we are all going through trials. We are being shaken, we are being awakened and God is calling us to draw nearer to Him and in prayer now more than ever.

We can use this time to draw closer to Him or continue the way we have been living, A life without God or too busy to make time for God and being distracted by everyday life, which I have been guilty of all three, but thank God for His mercy and redemption.

We can be the light or stay hidden in the darkness. It's a wake up call for the whole world.

Now more than ever, we need to look to Him, Jesus, the Hope of Glory.

We can not put our hope in man or our circumstances changing for us to have peace. We can have peace now.

During this season of downtime for me off from work, resting, and taking care of my health, God has been speaking to me a lot about rest, restoration, resetting my priorities and responding in obedience to His leading in some areas in my life.

He said to me I can give your rest for your body, rest for your soul and when we rest in His presence, He gives us peace in the midst of chaos and He gives us provision. The Key is to seek Him in prayer, rest in His presence and respond.

" Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." 
John 14:27

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19

Prayer;

God may we draw closer to you during this time and trust you that you are with us, for us and you will never leave us nor forsake us. May we put our trust in you, the Hope of Glory. Give us the grace to respond in Yes, Lord! We trust your leadership.

Spring Come Forth!!!

   Spring Come Forth!!
  
  Has been my prayer lately, with Spring right around the corner only three weeks till Spring and I feel like it's taking too long.

 Ever feel like hard seasons in your life aren't changing fast enough? When I look at this picture, it gives me hope. I live in a state where we experience the seasons, especially the Winter season, my least favorite but, when Spring comes its like a fresh breath of air.

  I love this version of Isaiah 58:8

Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy reward.

It gives me hope that if we are facing trials of sickness or hardship, we have this hope that healing and health is our portion and our righteousness comes from Him and He is our greatest reward and we can get through whatever season we are in.

What trial are you facing today that God cannot see you through?

Though it may seem like its lingering a new season is right around the corner.

God is faithful and Faith is not believing that God can, it is knowing that He will!!

You are altogether Beautiful my darling, there is no flaw in you!

Good Morning Beauties,

I wanted to encourage you and remind you that God declares over us that we are already beautiful and when He looks at us, he sees no flaws. It's easy to focus on all of outward flaws, but God always looks deeper.
God does not see as man sees. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.

If God accept who we are and what we look like, then why don't we?
We don't have to compare ourselves to a false image that fashion magazines or Hollywood portrays, that is not the standard we should live by.

God's word should be the final authority on what true beauty is and not Hollywood or fashion magazines.

Be encouraged that you are Fearfully and Wonderfully made.
We are all beautiful women because God created us.
We are Beautifully and Uniquely designed by God.

Christmas Tea Party

12/12/2019

Good Morning Beauties,

I wanted to share a little bit about the Christmas Tea Party I hosted in California.

The women told me they were very blessed, but I was the one that was blessed. I love getting women together to fellowship, encourage and pray for another. I personally don't get to do this very much so maybe this is why I enjoy it so much.

I think women should get together more often to be able to laugh and cry and be transparent with one another. In fact God encourages us to do so especially if you're hurting.

Therefore as Gods chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.  Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone.  Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. 
Colossians 3:12-14


This is the most important to me even if it doesn't turn out exactly the way you wanted it too, but what really does.

I wanted a cozy fire which ended up smoking out the house because my mom hadn't used her fireplace in years, so fire alarms went off and here I am with a towel trying to get the smoke away from the alarm so it will shut off.

It didn't start on time and well, I decided to start the women with a cup of tea while waiting for the other women to arrive.

After the women enjoyed a cup of tea, I then read an excerpt from my book Inner Beauty, Fearfully and Wonderfully made and they were very blessed and it opened it up for more women to share their story and encourage one another.

Since it was getting late I began to serve lunch and more tea for the women to enjoy and the women to get to know one another.  Serving the lunch and tea is one of my favorite things to do, there is something so special about serving and making the other person feel worthy of blessing. And this is what I wanted the women to feel, that they are worthy and beautiful of receiving Gods love and blessings.

Although I didn't have all my tea equipment I do at home, I made it work. 

After the women's bellies were content, I sang a classic Christmas favorite of mine, O' Come Emmanuel.
I wanted to worship the Lord and give Him honor.

We then ended with playing a few games to raffle, some gifts I wanted to bless the women with and that was a lot of fun.

Maybe you already do this with one of your friends or several friends, but for those that don't, I encourage you to do this. 

Have a cup of tea, open up, encourage one another, pray for one another for this can be the greatest source of love, healing and joy.

God is Enough!

Hello Beauties

Welcome December!

I can't believe we are already in December, Can you?

I really look forward to my Sunday's, because this is the only day I really get to work on my devotional, meditate, journal and rest.

I was reading my new devotional, Deep Waters, lift your Gaze by Amazons best seller, Kim M Clark and oh my, God knew what I needed in this busy season of my life.

In the chapter I was reading it asked to read Genesis chapter 3 and it's about when Eve was tempted in the garden. In one of the questions it asked why do you think God tested Eve?

Of course we know God tested Eve to see if she would obey God, but, my question to God was, "God, why would you even test Eve if you already knew what she was going to do?"I mean God is all knowing. He already knows how we are going to respond in the testings and trials we face. But, I think we don't know how we are going to respond or maybe we think we know and then when we are faced with those tests or trials and we either fail or pass them.

Again my question to God was, why would you test Eve? If you already knew what was in her heart.

When all of a sudden I felt Gods presence and not with an answer but, with a question for me?

Am I enough for you? I have to say it took me back for a minute.  I heard that still small voice again
Am I enough, Do you trust me?


A question with a question.

He wanted to expose my own state of being of where I was.

Was God enough for me and Did I trust Him with my life? It pierced my heart to the point that I started weeping, because the truth was exposed that there were certain areas in my life that I didn't fully trust Him with.

He reminded me of all the prayers He had answered in a two year period and yet when those prayers were answered they became not enough, I wanted more, not realizing where my heart was.

Our heart is deceitful. In Jeremiah 17:9 it says;

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? but God


The real question is I believe is this,

Is He enough when our prayers are answered and even when they are not and do we trust Him with our life and our future? Is He enough for me or us to be satisfied in whatever answer that is?

I know I want God to be enough, because the more I try to attain in this life it will never be enough and it will never satisfy me like my relationship with God will.

My prayer is that God would be our number one source and our number one priority and that He would be enough whether in blessing or famine. He is the only one that can satisfy every inward need and outward need.

" And this same God who takes care of me will supply all of your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. " Philippians 4:19

​Reflection:

Are there some areas in your life you have not fully surrendered to God and Is God enough whether he answers or has not yet answered?

May He become our ENOUGH!

Blessings Isabel Perez McCoy

Today I am Thankful for

11/18/2019

Good Evening Beauties,

I was just thinking of last years blog I wrote and it was about the 30 day challenge I decided to do and post on facebook what I was thankful for, for 30 days.  It's so easy to forget all that God has done in our lives and start dwelling on the things that are not right as if God hasn't done so much already. I found myself getting anxious about some things last night and I found myself feeling a little ungrateful. I was quickly reminded this morning while listening to Joyce Meyers episode on being grateful, How blessed I really am, that I have a husband, a beautiful daughter, a home, a job, food to eat, family and friends.

This past year has been one of the busiest seasons I have had, with getting book ready for publishing, writing content and recording for podcasts, everyday life demands, checking up on mom, working a part-time job outside of the home and being a wife and finding time to spend with my adult daughter.

I have to say I have so much to be thankful for. I am thankful for God giving me the grace and energy to get through one of the busiest and challenging seasons of my life. I am thankful for God keeping me healthy so that I could get done what I needed to get done. The grace to work out and eat healthier and not perfectly. Somedays I was too tired to work out and cook healthier meals, but even then God gives grace to hit that re-start button.

I am so thankful for Gods continued inner healing in my life. The new friends God has brought into my life and the new opportunities God has opened up for me.

When I was sick in 2017 and part of 2018, if God would have told me all that I was going to do this past year, I would have laughed, but I did know that God wanted me to get healthy so that I can do all that God wanted me to do and for this I am so Thankful.

One thing I am really grateful for are my friends and sisters in Christ who kept me in prayer this past year.

When you start feeling a little ungrateful about somethings, it's a good idea to write a list of all that God has done in our lives and all that is right. All the prayers He has answered. Things always could be worse and there is always someone going through worse circumstances than you are.

I want to challenge myself and you, to think and dwell on Gods goodness and His faithfulness.
He has got us through some challenging trials this past year and yes, there might be some prayers not yet answered, but if God promised, He will keep His word.

So is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11

GOD IS FAITHFUL TO KEEP HIS PROMISES!!

Getting out of your comfort zone

11/13/2019

Good Morning Beauties,

It's nice to be back home, I was in Philadelphia, Pa last weekend and had a wonderful time. I fell in love with the city and the people. I thank God for the opportunity to be among some amazing great Men and Women of God to pray with for our nation.

I am not a city person, but I really loved this city. It has rich history and I plan on going back to visit again to really take in the history and enjoy some foreign food.

This trip really did challenge me to step out of my comfort zone. I was going to a new city, a new place I have never been too and by myself, and being around great Men and Women I have never met, it was beyond my expectations and I am so grateful for my friend Sandi inviting me and pushing me to press through some trials I was facing at the time.

When I was there I felt right at home, like I belonged there. Amazing.

Do you ever feel like you don't fit in or you feel intimidated around some people.

Well, this is how I thought I would feel, but I felt right at home.

I knew God wanted me to step out out of my borders to a new place, an unfamiliar place, a place I had never been too. He was definitely stretching me in every way in this trip.

God gave me this scripture this year,

Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; which is what I wanted to do because it was unfamiliar.

lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes, For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.

Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame.
Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. Isaiah 54:2-4


How many of us have allowed fear to keep us doing what God wants us to do?

I know I have been guilty of this in the past, fear of what it's going to be like? what if this happens? what am I going to say? So many if's and questions.

But, God is faithful to go before us and give us peace and let us know He is with us where ever we go and whatever He is calling us to do.

I am so happy I stepped out in Faith, stepped out of my comfort zone and put my trust in Him for the outcome.

What is God calling you to do that requires faith and is challenging you to step out of your comfort zone.

Be encouraged that God will never leave you and you will not be humiliated.

Blessings my friends.
