Even JESUS uses Rodan + Fields!!

You think Rodan + Fields is just for women??  Think again!  Women, men, children, and yes...even Jesus uses Rodan + Fields.  Well, maybe Jesus doesn't use the products on His face...after all, He is without flaws.  But He does USE the products and business to expand His Kingdom! Can I get an AMEN?!?  

As you may know, I have committed a portion of all of my sales to give back to Justice Ministries, a non-profit, Christian organization created to combat sex trafficking and sexual exploitation of women in Charlotte, NC with a focus on rescue and housing.  After learning that human trafficking is not just a problem in other countries, but rather in our own backyard (and all over the US), I knew I couldn't just sit back and continue to watch the headlines roll in.  Contributing financially to this organization is just a small example of how Rodan + Fields is impacting the Kingdom of God for His glory!  

Check out all of these other Consultants and how THEY are also using their financial blessings from their Rodan + Fields business to pour out onto others in the name of Jesus!  

Sarah Robbins - Gives to children in need through organizations like Angel House, World Vision, Compassion, and to individual causes that align with her mission of providing children with love and loving homes.
Mallory Hope - Funds and participates in Dental mission trips. 
Laura Bangar - Started a local ministry in Mississippi, and now has the recourses and time to take full mission trips.  
Kristin Tracey - Started a camp that hosts abused or neglected foster children. 
Uilani Cordeiro - Gives to the ministries of her husband's church plant. 
Letisha Pittman - Developing an activity center for underprivileged youth in their community.  

My husband and I fully believe in being a river with our resources and not a reservoir.  Maybe you feel like your financial situation is great, and that you do not need any more money.  But what if working this business wasn't about you...but rather you being an open river of resources to flow out onto others?  What if God wants to use you as that river for His Kingdom?  

This is my daily prayer over my business - that God humbles me and uses me as an instrument to do His work.  Helping people love their skin is just the beginning; watching God work through this business is the true blessing in it all.   I would be honored to talk to you about this business and how it has impacted our lives and the lives of others.  

*WARNING! This post might make you sick!*

This weekend my amazing husband presented me with the best Mother's Day present! No...we don't have children. No...I'm not pregnant. And no...it wasn't for how I'm a "mother" to my cat. 

The gift was for what I am doing NOW to prepare myself and our house for the hopeful role of becoming a mother down the road. The sacrifice we both made to leave my corporate job and embrace my Rodan + Fields business full time was something we fervently prayed through before taking action. The commitment I have made to this decision is my driving force every day, knowing that one day when we are blessed with a child, I won't have to worry about maternity leave, or the pressure of finding a day care within those time constraints, or the pinch that having children puts on household finances. 

Being a Mother is something I deeply desire. And being a wife to someone that appreciates everything I am presently doing to fulfill that future role and contribute to our family is truly a blessing from God! 

Single ladies...(meaning not married. If you haven't married him, you are still single) find a Godly man who celebrates you, not only for who you ARE, but also for who you will become! Having someone who sees the great work still to be done in you and celebrates that before it is brought to light is a gift from God. 

So thankful for my gift - both the present and my amazing husband!

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses....

People say to me: I don't have the time.
I hear: Carla, I don't want an opportunity that gives me more flexibility with my time. 

People say to me: I don't have the money. 
I hear: Carla, I don't want the chance to make more money. 

People say to me: I don't know anything about skincare. 
I hear: Carla, I am un-coachable, and I don't want to learn about something that has the power to change my life. 

People say to me: I don't know anyone who would buy this. 
I hear: Carla, I don't know anyone with skin. All of my friends are fish. 

People say to me: I don't need to make anymore money. My (or my husband's) income is enough. 
I hear: Carla, I only live in my world, and I am not aware of other needs outside of my own to which extra income could support. (Ouch...)

People say to me: I don't want to quit my job. I like what I do. 
I hear: Carla, I didn't listen to a word you just said, b/c if I did I would know that I can keep my job that I truly love and also do this in just 10-15 minute pockets throughout my day all from the convenience of my cellphone. 

People say to me: I don't want to sign up for a pyramid scheme.
I hear: Carla, I haven't done my research to really understand exactly what Direct Sales is and the legitimate business model that is being presented to me. 

Here are some legitimate excuses I will entertain:  
- Carla, I recently moved to a cave where I will live off the land around me and remove myself from cellular or internet connections. (However, if you are reading this, then, well...there goes that excuse.)
- Carla, I hate all people. Including you. Leave me alone to live in solitude. (Again, you are on Facebook, a social media website...soooo.......
- Carla, I was recently enrolled in the witness protection program and will be living under an alias for an indefinite amount of time. (And now you just told me this secret, soooooooo.....)

People say to me:  I wish I would have joined you sooner.  

I hear:  Carla, I'm READY!  Let's DO THIS!!  

Stop with the excuses! Just call the number (live on Sundays, or the replay anytime during the week) and MESSAGE ME! I'm on a rocket ship to the moon, and I'm ready to take you with me!
