The Rewards of One Mother’s Diligence and Faith
Meribeth Schierbeek, Hudsonville, MI





The summer of 06 I had began praying for a job that I could be passionate about. I needed to help my husband out with the family finances. I’ve cleaned houses for 5 years, before that I worked in a Greenhouse; I sold shredding services. I just hated to leave home. The only thing I was passionate about was being a Mom.

I believe God used poison ivy! I had tried everything to get rid of it. My Mom came over with some amazing oil and one week later my poison ivy was gone!! She told me Shari Snyder was going to call me about the company. I WAS NOT going to do parties and sell stuff to my friends and family…. I was VERY skeptical!! I threw everything at Shari, how many friends did she lose, how much product do you have lying around, etc.


Nevertheless, it was an open door from a prayer I had prayed. I ordered the Top Pak, put my other unsafe products away and decided to try the NEW store and see if this was something I believed in. The day my products came was the busiest day of my life…my thoughts were, “What did I do?” Satan loves to cause doubt, but I charged ahead despite my fear and used all the products the next day. I could not believe how awesome they were. I was sold!
I scoured my business box; it had everything I needed to succeed and started telling people. Shari came and did my first 2 in homes and I enrolled 8 customers in 4 weeks. I became a director in Pacesetter time and received a bonus, my first check was $292 and the incentive they had that month was a laptop computer! It is a Dell top of the line computer (valued around $850). It was fun to see how excited the kids were. They got to see what a little work and commitment can do.

This is just a story on how God answered my prayers for an opportunity to help out my family. I would not have gotten involved with telling others if; #1 the products didn’t work, and #2, if they were too expensive for families like me to use. The people I have told about our company have been amazed on how well each product works.


It took commitment and determination to decide I was sick of finances stressing me out each month, we wanted to keep the kids in Christian School and we knew this could be a great avenue for me to stay at home. It has been awesome to meet people and get to share not only our company but also share their families’ lives too. My advice to you is, “Do not let fear get in your way of any of the plans God lays for you!” I am so glad I ordered the Top Pak and stepped out in trembling faith; I am amazed at how God used me!!
