  • When God Led Me to Ditch Toxic Bug Sprays (And What I Found Instead)

    When God Led Me to Ditch Toxic Bug Sprays (And What I Found Instead)

    I still remember that summer evening, sitting on my front porch trying to have my quiet time with the Lord. But instead of peaceful reflection, I was frantically swatting mosquitoes and scratching bites, while worried about the harsh chemicals I’d sprayed on my skin.

    Have you been there? Caught between wanting to enjoy God’s beautiful creation and dreading the swarms of biting insects that seem determined to drive us indoors?

    The Toxic Truth I Couldn’t Ignore

    The Holy Spirit had been convicting me about what I was putting on my body – His temple. When I finally researched the ingredients in my conventional bug spray, I was horrified. DEET, Permethrin, and a cocktail of neurotoxins that could cause everything from skin reactions to seizures.

    1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. How could I keep knowingly applying these harmful chemicals?

    A God-Given Alternative

    Through prayer and research, the Lord led me to discover the incredible power of His natural creation. Did you know that organic lemongrass oil naturally repels 176 types of mosquitoes?

    Or that lavender oil not only deters insects but promotes calm and healthy skin?

    This revelation transformed my outdoor time.

    Instead of choosing between toxic sprays or staying inside, I found that God had already provided safe, effective solutions through His creation.

    The Ripple Effects of Going Natural

    When I switched to natural bug protection, something beautiful happened.

    My evening devotional time became truly peaceful again.

    My children could play outside without me worrying about harmful chemicals on their skin.

    Even my garden time became a worship experience, seeing how God provided everything we need in nature.

    Sisters, we don’t have to compromise our health or our convictions to enjoy outdoor living. The Lord has given us everything we need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3), including natural ways to protect our families.

    A Simple Step of Stewardship

    If you’re feeling led to make this switch like I was, I want to share a resource that’s been a blessing to our family.

    Abba showed us a place where prayer is the foundation to these turn key formulations, and a natural Bug Off Body Butter was created that combines God’s powerful plant ingredients with deep moisturizing benefits.

    One sister in Christ, Janea recently shared: “Sat outside at a family gathering and not one mosquito bite! I’m usually spraying and double spraying toxic bug spray so I’m so happy to have found this!”

    I give God all the glory for leading me to create this natural alternative. If you’d like to learn more about our Bug Off Body Butter, you can find it here: Natural Bug Protection

    Whatever you decide, I pray this information helps you make wise choices for your family’s wellbeing. May we all be good stewards of these temples He’s entrusted to us.

    In His Grace,
    Julianne

  • The Hidden Link Between Hair Care and Self-Confidence: What Your Scalp Is Trying to Tell You

    The Hidden Link Between Hair Care and Self-Confidence: What Your Scalp Is Trying to Tell You

    Have you ever caught yourself avoiding dark clothing, constantly checking your shoulders, or feeling self-conscious in bright lighting? If persistent dandruff and dry scalp issues have been quietly eroding your confidence, you’re not alone.

    The Vicious Cycle Nobody’s Talking About

    Here’s what most hair care articles won’t tell you: The relationship between scalp health and self-confidence runs deeper than we think. When we’re constantly worried about visible flakes or an itchy scalp, we literally carry ourselves differently. We avoid close conversations, skip social events, or feel distracted during important meetings.

    But the real problem isn’t just cosmetic – it’s what this daily stress does to our overall wellbeing.

    The Science of Scalp Health: What You Need to Know

    Your scalp is actually an extension of your face’s skin, with a crucial difference: it has about 100,000 hair follicles, each with its own microbiome. When this delicate ecosystem gets disrupted, it doesn’t just cause dandruff – it triggers a cascade of issues affecting hair health, growth, and even your skin’s natural defense system.

    The Breakthrough Nobody Expected

    Recent dermatological research has revealed something fascinating: healthy scalp care isn’t about harsh treatments that strip away problems. Instead, it’s about restoring balance to your scalp’s natural environment. This explains why so many conventional treatments actually make things worse over time.

    Real Stories, Real Transformations

    Consider Brittany’s experience: “I had the worst dandruff, and after about two months of proper scalp care, I don’t have flakes showing through anymore. It’s been a complete life saver and definitely gave me a confidence boost.”

    Or take Vicki’s journey: “SMELLS AMAZING like walking through an apple orchard!!! And the crisp apple smell lasts!!! My hair also feels soft and the comb goes right through. I didn’t have as many tangles after the second time using it. – like I normally do. That will probably mean less breakage and split ends.”

    The Ripple Effect

    When women solve their scalp issues, something remarkable happens. They report feeling more present in meetings, more engaged in social situations, and more confident in their daily interactions. It’s not just about hair – it’s about reclaiming the mental energy previously spent worrying about scalp issues.

    Your Path Forward

    The solution isn’t about masking symptoms or using harsh treatments. It’s about nurturing your scalp’s natural balance while gently eliminating the root causes of dryness and flaking. When you approach scalp care this way, the results aren’t just temporary – they’re transformative.

    If you’re ready to experience what truly balanced scalp care feels like, consider trying a gentle yet effective solution that’s helping women rediscover their confidence. The Clarity Shampoo & Conditioner system has been consistently ranked among the best for delivering exceptional value, with users reporting not just cleaner hair, but a renewed sense of confidence.

    Because when you finally solve your scalp issues, you’re not just changing your hair care routine – you’re changing how you show up in the world.

    Stay close to Abba ❤️

  • From Exhausted to Energized: How God Led Me to Natural Energy After Years of Struggling

    From Exhausted to Energized: How God Led Me to Natural Energy After Years of Struggling

    I remember laying on my floor on the dorm room during nursing school, desperately drinking my second or third energy drink of the day to say awake to study, praying “Lord, there has to be a better way.”

    My hands were shaking, my heart was racing, and I felt foggy and depleted, I wondered if I was going to have a heart attack. I was caught in a cycle of artificial highs and crushing crashes that left me feeling like a shadow of myself.

    Fast forward to after graduation, and I was working in the emergency department and we would actually have patients come that were so jacked up on energy drinks that it was life threatening. This stuff was so toxic! Talk about hell in a bottle.

    Maybe you can relate to that desperate search for sustainable energy. Between ministry commitments, family responsibilities, and trying to stay faithful to your calling, it’s easy to fall into depending on whatever will keep you going – even when you know it’s not God’s best for your temple.

    The Hidden Cost of Quick Energy Fixes

    What the Lord revealed to me through intense prayer and study was eye-opening: those artificial energy boosters weren’t just masking my fatigue – they were actually making it worse. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Yet I was filling mine with substances that were throwing my blood sugar into chaos and depleting my adrenal system.

    The breakthrough came when I started researching God’s natural medicine cabinet – the incredible plants and herbs He created for our wellbeing. I discovered that sustainable energy isn’t about stimulation – it’s about nourishment.

    God’s Design for Natural Energy

    Here’s what changed everything for me: I learned that true energy comes from supporting our body’s own systems, not overriding them. The Lord showed me specific plants like yerba mate (packed with 24 vitamins and minerals) and cinnamon (which helps maintain healthy blood sugar) that work WITH our bodies instead of against them.

    When we align with God’s design, incredible things happen. By switching to natural plant-based energy support, I experienced:

    • Steady, sustained energy without the crashes
    • Mental clarity that lasts throughout the day
    • Better blood sugar balance and fewer cravings
    • Improved digestion and immune function

    A Testament to His Faithfulness

    Sisters, I give God all the glory for leading me to a better way. Now I can serve in my motherhood ministry, support my family, and fulfill my calling without the constant struggle against fatigue. My testimony is that when we seek His wisdom for our health, He is faithful to provide solutions that honor our bodies as His temple.

    If you’re tired of the energy drink cycle and ready to discover God’s natural design for sustained vitality, I’d love to share more about the natural solution that transformed my life. You can learn more about CinnaMāte here.

  • Where Hell Meets Heaven – My Postpartum Stories

    Where Hell Meets Heaven – My Postpartum Stories

    This is going to revolutionize motherhood once women experience it.

    I probably wouldn’t believe it unless I experienced it myself.

    I was in labor for 2 days with my beloved first born.

    It was extremely painful up until I decided to get the epidural.

    Afterward, I had lacerations down there, which made urination a living hell because it burned so bad every time I urinated, that I didn’t want to urinate anymore.

    The worst part was the broken tail bone. That pain was so deep that I could not sit down with my newborn for six weeks because of the pain.

    And that crushed my heart in ways I never knew possible.

    On top of being a brand new mother and trying to figure things out, I would kneel down to eat or lay down or eat standing up because I couldn’t sit down.

    The healing for both the vaginal and the broken bone seemed to last forever. My heart was deeply grieved. It hurts just to even think about it.

    I had my husband pick me up some turmeric from Walmart. I believe it was a 500 count and I took them by the boat load. Nothing – severe pain. It’s like I didn’t even take anything.

    Tears and tears. Frustration. Feeling like God was punishing me. I knew that was a lie.

    Felt pretty real though.

    I decided to get some quality pain killers, but as I was scrolling the website, I felt like God wanted me to get these new capsules that dropped, I didn’t really know what they were for, but I took a massive leap of faith because at the time, though we lacked for nothing, our budget was very tight.

    As soon as the capsules came in, although the instructions said to take three, I felt like God told me to take six. It was towards the end of the evening the next day I woke up with zero pain. ZERO PAIN.

    I weep. For the first time, I was able to hold our six week old son since being at the hospital sitting up. I cried again.

    I was pretty exhausted through that stage, experiencing lots of ups and downs, heartache, and there was a few brief times when there was bouts of depression about the situation.

    Now fast forward to our second son, which was born about a year and half or so after…

    I was prepared. Never again. Never again would I be caught unprepared like that.

    I was loaded up on supplements from the same company. I had a pain free child of birth, believe that or not. and I give God all the glory.

    That’s another story in itself, but I almost gave birth in the vehicle on the way to the hospital with our 2nd beloved.

    We made it just in the nick of time and I took a zero medication this time. That was not my choice ha ha.

    When I arrived to the hospital in the ER as soon as I got put into the room, I told the nurse that I wanted my epidural.

    She looked at me with the smile like if she was about to break out laughing and said it was too late. Not in a rude way, more like a “that ain’t happening” The baby was coming now!

    I was really shocked to hear that, but what can a woman do. I prayed. I quoted scripture. He came out immediately with a few pushes. It didn’t hurt – it was incredible. I felt everything. The Lord blessed me with a pain free child birth.

    Even though I got stitches, afterward, I healed almost immediately. The pain is about nonexistent. Maybe a 1/10. I was so loaded up with my natural health supplements. There was no mood swings, no weirdness, no depression, zero pain with urination. I felt absolutely. INCREDIBLE. Zero stress. I also stayed prayed up.

    I was taken my herbal collagen powder every few hours to recover immediately, and I saw it do wonders. I give God ALL the glory.

    Where the main focus is Jesus Christ and he is the main block the main color of the home and because He has been placed first everything else will follow.

    I took my clean energy teas & I felt like a queen. Emotionally. Spiritually. All of the above.

    1. Solle Vital– an alkaline, mineral rich drink to nurture and help sustain your baby by making the breastmilk rich, but also helps with stopping the bleeding because of the greens in it, which will help your recovery. Energy giving. Feels like an internal shower to me.
    2. Solle Royal. This was a star player at my healing journey. I took this every few hours because it’s going to help everything in the body as far as the tissues so that your recovery happens FAST. It will also give the skin a beautiful glow, and let’s be real, what woman or man doesn’t want beautiful skin, right? Did I mention it have natural pain killing properties? Awesome right?
    3. Cinnamate. I took several of these each day to help energize me, especially while I would breast-feed to stay awake and ensure my young man of God’s safety so I didn’t fall asleep, now because cinnamon acts as a blood thinner- I did hold off a few hours after childbirth before I took this, and I took it as I was led by the Holy Spirit. Zero problems. Vitamin and mineral rich make your breast milk very healthy.
    4. PI capsules (pain & inflammation) I got the large bottle of this one and it’s such an incredible weapon and tool to have by your side after delivery. Powerful. The ibuprofen like meds given at the hospital did absolutely NOTHING to help the deep pain I was in. This on the other hand- game changer. Took this every 4 hours as needed.
    5. LongeviD capsules– this is what helped my body recover immediately from the broken tailbone extremely nutritious. Natural painkillers.
    6. Solle Excell– a hormone drink that will help increase your breastmilk load it with minerals and vitamins as well. Taste like piña colada it’s a win win.
    7. AC cream– natural and clean pain reliever cream works so good.
    8. Solle Complete Protein– this is gonna help tremendously with your healing as well and I took this almost daily through my pregnancies. I strongly know that my sons are above average healthy! Both flavors are TEN. Double Dutch Cocoa & Vanilla Creme.
    9. Probio IQ. Mandatory. These gems help your breastmilk so that your young man or woman of God has a STRONG immune system. It’s passed on through your milk to their belly.
    10. Adaptable. Helps real good for any stressful situation. Made specifically for the founders postpartum wife.
    11. Renue. This is a Godsend calming tea. Think chill, rest, relax. Helps you get deep sleep without the sluggish effects of sleep hormones like melatonin. Rich in minerals. Great for the liver and heart. My favorite tea. So when Mama gotta nap & not mess around. This is your drink.
    12. Verdezymes. I believe the best calming enzymes on the market. They have double the amount of regular capsules. You are gonna want to make digestion easy for your body so that your body can focus on what matters most. This will help your body do what God made it to do- heal. And heal fast! It takes a massive load off your kidneys & liver.

    The nurses were so impressed with the childbirth. I gave birth so fast that by the time my husband checked in, it was just a few moments later our son was already born.

    He heard the cried as he walked down the hallway.

    The revelation that the Lord showed me, although I learned the hard way, will completely revolutionize motherhood.

    Imagine this…

    Mamas who actually get a really good sleep during their postpartum and motherhood years…

    Mamas, who wake up with energy and have almost endless energy throughout the day to do what God has called them to do.

    Mamas who feel absolutely in a great mood throughout their postpartum & the next 18 years of motherhood & longer…

    A world where there is no postpartum depression…look I can’t guarantee you this, but I believe based on what I went through- it will be a thing of the past. #JoyfulMama Listen to Holy Spirit because He alone will guide you in all things.

    Fathers who are also on board taking the same golden standard, and have all the energy they need to answer the call of God upon their lives and slay dragons while mothers are at home being the homemaker that God wants them to be.

    Imagine a generation of women who actually wanna be stay at home moms and have not been brainwashed into allowing society – like daycare’s and public schools to raise their children, but truly desire to watch over their homes as described in the book of Titus.

    And comes women who respect their husbands.

    Where mom and dad are the ones raising their children, I’m not strangers or people they don’t really know.

    Because it is written – first seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added onto you.

    There’s a blue print for this specific postpartum success and I am going to share it with you. Here’s what I took.

    I believe this will help birth A new era where mothers actually want to be mothers instead of being a brainwashed and into thinking that their main role in life is to serve out a 9 to 5 job until they are 65-70 years of age or go get some scam of a college degree. And I’m not putting down women who go to college because I am myself went down that road as an educated a.k.a. independent woman making bank.

    And having all those niceties and luxuries and delicacies, I can see that the happiest years of my life and the best season is a motherhood.

    So whether you’ve given birth or you are a spiritual mother, my message to you today is: your life doesn’t have to be a living hell, your home can be just like heaven, kingdom come home.

    Here’s what I had prepped in my Emergency bag postpartum that made my recovery such a breeze. And this is the formula has transformed such place of pain into a place of reign.

    Please pass this blog on to a Mama, especially a postparum Mama.

    I’m Im convinced this will save lives and childhoods and marriages.

    God, I cannot tell you what a night and day difference from my first to my 2nd delivery, recovery, postpartum, and my early motherhood years that’s Solle Naturals has literally helped me live again.

    Sometimes people go throughout life and they feel like there’s more but they’re not really sure what it is and how to get it

    This is part of it. This is part of God‘s best for this generation I ABSOLUTELY believe.

    Having tried so many supplements and having worked with one of the most brilliant herbalist and iridologist I believe of our time, this was her favorite company and I’ve not tried anything that compares to the results that it’s given me, especially when it is a daily consistent routine it’s completely unparalleled and the emotional and mental support it provides, and in the instant energy it provides.

    Solle Naturals – making motherhood great again.

    God bless you and as always, stay close to the Holy Spirit, for He is your very breath.

    Titus 2:3

    The aged women likewise, that they bein behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands.

  • Holy Spirit Health

    Holy Spirit Health

    Are you battling an illness and you don’t know why?

    Have you ever seen a very healthy looking person who passed away and you just couldn’t figure out why?

    They ate well, were fit, loved God, did all the basics that would seem to give them a long life?

    Beloved, what is often overlooked in health that could be costing you your life- is the spiritual aspect which is often overlooked by many.

    Last year it so happened that I saw hormonal imbalances, specifically prolonged menstrual Periods. Like 21 days a month bleeding.

    It wasn’t until I cried out to God that He reveled to me that the ROOT was spiritual.

    Access was being granted to the enemy because unforgiveness /bitterness was being harbored in the heart.

    The reproductive system was suffering.

    I had childhood that resembled a horror movie straight from the pit of hell, where great wickedness was committed regularly unto children that ought never to happen.

    As many times as I had said I’d forgiven them. Forgiveness is needed as often as forgiveness is needed.

    So if you are brought back to a painful memory or a traumatic event 300 times over a period of 5 years, all it takes is one thought, one feeling, one decision to enter into bitterness, unrighteousness anger unforgivesness.

    It also takes one decision to forgive, repent and get back into God’s presence.

    So it’s best to forgive EVERY TIME it comes up & GIVE IT TO GOD.

    When a person carries those things that God never intended for them to hold on to, they open themselves up in the spirit realm- giving legal access for the enemy to launch attacks.

    These attacks cause physical illness unless they are dealt with.

    So a person can be taking the best supplements, eating all the organic & clean herbs, working out regularly, looking physically beautiful, but if their spirit is not fully right with God & if it is broken, that is how illness can enter.

    I’d like to introduce you Holy Spirit Health.

    It’s a holistic health- mind, body & spirit approach.

    So you might wonder? How do I “give it to God?”

    This is how:

    1. You say “God I give You everything. All thoughts feelings and emotions.” You are just doing what the scripture tells us to do. People tend to over complicate things. “Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Psalm 55:22
    2. You quote the appropriate scripture when needed. If your peace is gone, that’s a great indicator to start quoting scripture. Time to fight back for your peace that was given away.
    3. Don’t run from His presence. Run to it. Which means you will have to feel the pain instead of numbing it.
    4. Know that tears are not a sign of weakness as modern culture teaches- it’s a sign of strength in the Kingdom of God- a sign of healing. As long as it doesn’t turn into something God doesn’t intend- like sadness or sorrow. You should feel a sense of relief after the healing – like you are in a better spot.
    5. Get ready to fight for your healing if need be. God’s deliverance looks different for each of His children. Sometimes He will have you fast to remove the pain. Sometimes He may have you do something completely different.
    6. Don’t live your life according to your circumstances but live according to the word of God. Which means- speaking life over the situation even if you don’t see the change manifest yet. Even if you are not in the mood to speak life. That’s where maturity comes in and you put the flesh on check.
    7. Learning to STAND against the enemy & know that the battle is won. We win because Jesus has already won for us on the cross. It doesn’t matter what the lies say. What is God speaking over it? Get your word from Him so you KNOW what He is saying- that is all that really matters. That’s where your peace will come from. Not from the prognosis, not from the deadline of your bills or what your eyes see. All you need is one word from God. One word.

    Emotional woundedness will often manifest in a physical ailment which is why I can wholeheartedly recommend Solle Naturals- everything they create has something for the brain and adrenal glands- which means they make it specifically to support emotional health in a way that you can FEEL it.

    It is a company founded on lOVE.

    The owner had created over 200 herbal items for a very well know company. But when his beloved wife & mother had their sixth bundle of joy, she entered into post partum depression.

    He began to formulate things for her- out of love. Where she didn’t have to take a ton of capsules, 3 times a day, and did so in a way that is delightful.

    God gave her MASSIVE breakthrough.

    And as for me… they helped me live again. That is not an exaggeration but it’s a story for another time.

    So don’t ever think there is no hope. God has something amazing for you.

    I pray that this blessed you. And that you hold on to your Hope ALWAYS.

    God heals however He chooses.

    For me, He led me to this precious place & if you are wanted to reclaim your crown, this where I would start, after of course prayer.

    Stay yielded to God, Julianne

    And be willing to pay the price to stay yielded to God.

    Even when it hurts.

    Even when it gets uncomfortable.

    You can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens you.
