  • All is not Lost!

    All is not Lost!

    I offer the Bitterness Lord to you, from my soul, my current situation, and my failings. I also place on the alter the joy you have given me, along with thanksgiving. I mix it together, a bitter and sweet sacrifice and I add praise to the mix. You are good! I release regret, guilt, and shame, to you. I receive instruction, clarity, and strength. I failed, I was trapped, and I am not going back. I am loved and I am accepted! I can love and guard my heart.

    2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. As I ask the Holy Spirit to help prepare me I heard the above scripture. I have put on my robe of humility and I am quieting my soul. I am turning from my wicked ways and seeking his face, that my land would be healed. It is the process that is important. I enter the Center of My Garden with the joy the Lord has given me and a smile. “Good morning Lord.” “Good morning, shall we enjoy the fragrance of the roses this morning?” “Yes Lord.” We walk over to the roses and stroll, he takes my hand. “Be strengthened, daughter, be encouraged. All is not lost, you have Me!” “Yes Lord, You are my great reward!” “I am!” “You are enough Lord! I let go the bitterness and lies! I can do all things because you strengthen me. I ask for that strength, courage, and wisdom to guard my heart from lies and the wiles of the devil.” He turns to me and smiles, “Granted!” And I know he will add more! We walk breathing in the fragrant flowers and I take time to be encouraged and strengthened, and to just be with him. I got up and came back and I am brought this scripture: Psalm 34:4 I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.

    Psalm 36:5 Your Mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

  • Don’t be Afraid to Follow!

    Don’t be Afraid to Follow!

    “Good morning Lord, I have my desires to work on some things, would you help me to prioritize what you have and need done?” “Yes, I have been here and working already this morning. Follow me!” “Yes Lord! Master, would you help me keep out that lying twisting leviathan and all pythons? Those snakes have been getting too close!” “Yes, I am teaching you!” “Thank you!” “Okay, let’s get to work and Krista, don’t be afraid to follow me!” “Yes Lord, “I take a step toward him. “Help me in my weakness.” He takes my hand! “I will!”

    Psalm 116:6 The Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

  • He is My Champion!

    He is My Champion!

    “Holy Spirit prepare me, help me on with the robe of humility.” I take a moment and put on a smile and breathe in the Holy Spirit. “How precious you are to me Holy Spirit! Good morning Lord,” I have gathered flowers along the path. I hand them to him, they are blue and white. He smiles, “Good morning my Love!” I sing “Open up your heart and rejoice before him…” We pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We set to work planting and amending the soil. I pause to lean my head against his shoulder. I am grateful to be in the Center of My Garden working alongside the Master Gardener. He is my Champion! “Follow me today Krista, I will unhook you!” “Yes Lord, thank you!” He knows exactly what I need.

    Lord it wasn’t very long before I needed to return and show you how I need your unhooking you spoke of. Lead me in surrender to you in these areas. Lead me in your wisdom and truth. I come to you for help and counsel. And I re-give you my whole heart and life.

  • Yes Lord Let’s!

    Yes Lord Let’s!

    6/6/26 “Good morning Lord, I love you!” “Good morning. That is enough work for today, you need to rest. Let’s enjoy the garden and let laughter and joy overtake us.” I drop my tools and get up. “Yes Lord let’s!“

    Psalm 105:2 Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; proclaim all His wonderous works.

    6/7/26″Happy Sunday Jesus.” We both smile. “It is a happy Sunday isn’t it?” “Yes Lord, it is! Thank you for the stroll, the guidance and your love.” “You are welcome. Shall we move further into this day and all I have planned?” “Yes Lord, please.” And we do.

    Romans 12:11 do not be lazy in diligence, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord,

  • Chains Falling!

    Chains Falling!

    “Holy Spirit, would you prepare me.” He helps me on with that robe of humility. He also puts a white flower in my hair. I smile. “Thank you Holy Spirit for making me beautiful, for transforming me,” I bow. He speaks to me and I am speechless. I receive his love.

    “Good morning Lord!” “Good morning Krista.” I begin to pray. “Lead me, guide me, transform me. I repent and let go hands with fear, doubt, unbelief, and lack. I believe in You and in me. Would you cleanse me and continue your good work Lord. I ask for restoration and that full service breakthrough you spoke to me about many years ago.

    I hear: “Today if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as at Meribah, and as in the day of Massah in the wilderness, Psalm 95:7. I also hear: I hear the chains falling! Amen and may our chains fall indeed!!!

  • I Know, I See, I Am Here!

    I Know, I See, I Am Here!

    “Good morning Lord, I love you, I ask for the peace of Jerusalem.” “Granted daughter, I love you too,” he smiles. I gaze at him a while. “What are we doing today in the garden Lord?” “We are adding supports, bolstering things up, for there has been much growth, and we must be ready for the growth right head.” I get down beside the Master Gardener and work along side him.

    A good while later: I came to water my vertical garden and I paused to just be. I hear a small trickle that is turning into a slow drip, from the water that is draining. “Lord here I am again and I do not wish to continue the cycles. I do not want to waste my time trying to fix things, to make things work or just gel. I guess I was in so deep that I didn’t realize the level of the enemies deception. I want more from You and life. Will you help me step out to the side and move on?” “Yes Krista, Will you trust me and keep letting go?” “Yes, Lord.” “Pray.” “Yes Lord.” “See.” “Yes Lord.” “Believe Me!” “Yes Lord, Holy spirit help me!” “I am.” “Thank you I am desperate for You and You Alone!” “I know, I see, I am here. Let’s get back to work in the whole garden!” “Okay Lord, on it!” And what a joy to know I can keep working, and hand the struggle into the Master Gardeners hand!

    Joshua 1:7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you: do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.

  • Help Me!

    Help Me!

    “Good morning Lord!”, I smile. He embraces me and we whisper our “I love yous”. “Lord there is growth in my garden, would you help prioritize my time and all my resources. Help me not to go backwards. Help me with being still and lead by you. Help me in assisting others, but not rescuing.” “I am leading you, keep letting go, and ask Me for Truth!” “Yes Lord, will you give me the Truth?” “Yes, pray and let us continue in our work today,” and he turns back to the work he was doing. We have been at work from before sunrise today!

    1 Peter 2:25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

  • With a Smile!

    With a Smile!

    He greets me with a smile! “Hallelujah Lord, You are here and working. I praise You, I thank You. I worship You! Hallelujah! Bless the Lord, oh my soul…for He has done great things!” There is much joy in the Center of My Garden! The Master Gardener laughs with joy and I join in. “Lord You knew this day was coming. Thank you! For freedom has entered and overtaken my whole garden and that new season is showing!

    Psalm 40:1,2 I waited patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps.

  • Fragrant White Lilies!

    Fragrant White Lilies!

    I prepare to enter the Center of My Garden. I ask the Holy Spirit to help me on with my robe of humility and gather a bunch of fragrant white lilies, to bring to the Lord.

    “Good morning my King,” I smile. I know he loves it when I smile. “Good morning my Love!” “Thank you for leading me, guiding me, providing for me and those you have given me. I release false unity and what you are not building. I wait for your restoration and in the waiting, I will build with you.” “Let us work today, I have some healing balm for your soul and body today,” “Thank you Lord.” He smiles and the balm is already at work!

    As the day has progressed I have had another application or two of that balm and I am healing and have been made more aware of the futility of carrying burdens that are not mine. I am so grateful for the breath!!!

    Jeremiah 31:3,4 The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you. Again I will build you and you shall be rebuilt, O virgin of Israel! You shall again be adorned with your tambourines, And shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice.

  • I am Already in it!

    I am Already in it!

    5/30/26 “Good morning my Love!” “Good morning,” and he embraces me! “What a beautiful and bright day it is!” “Yes, it is new and fresh. Come with me,” he holds out his hand. It was a statement and a question. I take his hand, “Lord I am going with you! Will you transform my mind, my will, my emotions and my thoughts about myself, my life, and all you have called me to?” “Yes release it all, follow with me!” “Yes Lord!” I pray for the peace of Jerusalem and I also set in to pray.

    A day later, as I type this I had no idea of how much of a confirmation the day and night would take to showing me a new season was already here. Today my entire household has had to let go of the plans we made yesterday, our lives are not going in the direction we thought, it is very good. I knew by the evening that something wasn’t quit right and this morning I have been liberated from moving in a way that God is not in. I am grateful! I am rescued, and the freedom for my family has been established in greater measures! It is less about blame and more about seasons changing.

    5/31/26 I cut the ties this morning. I walked away. Yesterday I was aware that it is a new season and somethings can not go with me. Now for forward motion.

    “Good morning Lord, I love you!” As I entered the garden I asked the Holy Spirit to help prepare to meet with the Master Gardner. He helped me on with my robe of humility. I like this robe, it is very lite weight and pretty sheer. “Good morning my love! There is therefore no condemnation for those in me!” “Yes Lord.” “You are washed in my blood, you are filled with the Holy Spirit to over flow, and your life is sanctified and laid down!” “Thank you Lord, yes!” “Now let us enjoy the garden and do a “Light” work today.

    I guess I had to revisit old ideas in a new way and see that there is a letting go on a new level. The quicker I do it, the quicker I can enjoy the way forward. I am not looking for the new season, I am already in it. And I am, once again, grateful I am not alone, the Master Gardener is calling the shots!!!

    Psalm 112:6-7 Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
