  • Happy Yom Hashoah!

    Happy Yom Hashoah!

    Why is it happy…because Israel lives: Am Yisrael Chai! I love Israel and the Jewish people. My Father God taught me how precious they are. They are the apple of his eye. It is not only them that are precious, but as a first born among siblings, they have born the brunt of many things and they serve as a reminder of the faithfulness of God. When we see his care of Israel, we know he will care for us too! They are blessed and will always remain so. I wonder if you know the blessings they are each day. There is no other people like them, and may the body of Christ, the Church continue to grow up in maturity into sons and daughters of our same Heavenly Father. I pray for the peace of Israel of Jerusalem and our countries too!

    The Scripture that stands out to me today is Psalm 53:4-5 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon God? There they are in great fear where no fear was, For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you; you have put them to shame, because God has despised them. God puts the enemy against us to flight and the next verse 6 says: Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad. This verse speaks of what has happened and Israel is back from captivity, may we be brought out of our captivity too! There is a part we are waiting for still, for Jesus the Christ to return to Zion! That day will come and may Israel cry out for his return!

    In the Center of My Garden this morning with the Master Gardener: “Good morning Lord!,” I smile. “Good morning Krista!” “Lead me in the work in the Center of My Garden and the personal space and outer garden. It is Spring and new growth is here! Help me clean up and set in order a new, each area!” “Amen, daughter!,” he has a glimmer in his eye! “Let us enjoy the work today!” “Yes Lord!”

  • Stay Close to Me!

    Stay Close to Me!

    “Good morning Master!” ” Good morning my love.” “I will need your help to grow in this time.” “Yes, you will and you will have it. Only stay close to me.” “Yes Lord, thank you! Lord take my hand and walk with me.” “I have taken your hand in mine and I will carry you at times too.” “Yes Lord, thank you. My eyes and my full heart are on you!”

    You showed me yesterday that I will need help to not get derailed on this next turn. Help me stay on track. Let my whole life bring you Glory!” “What work shall we do in the garden? “Let us rest and pray and do some maintenance, then the pace will quicken.” “Yes Lord.” I am wearing a broad brimmed sun hat and I have a pair of secateurs in my hands for pruning! It is a leisurely start to this day, but with intent, determination and because the Master Gardener is here, there is much joy!

    Isaiah 50:7 “For the Lord God will help Me; Therefore I will not be disgraced; Therefore I have set my face like a flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed.

  • We are Off!

    We are Off!

    I have just asked the Master Gardener to meet me in the center of My Garden. “It is a lovely bright day Lord!” “Yes it is!” What will todays events entail?” I must say that before I could ask this, I had looked up to see him wearing a fisherman’s yellow rain hat and slicker! Ha ha ha, this made us laugh and smile!” “Lord you bring joy!” “Yes!” It is then I realize there will be rain, there will be joy and adventure! I am putting on my pink slicker and hat to match! “I am ready Lord! Let’s go!,” and we are off!

    Perhaps there are “fish” to catch and bring in. That is one of the important fruits to be gathered in that is chief in the Master Gardeners mind!

  • An Engine and a Caboose!

    An Engine and a Caboose!

    I am entering the Center of My Garden with praise this morning! At the same time I am quieting my soul. There is something that needs to be addressed, but it is not for this moment. I am dancing and praising with my tambourine. There is much rejoicing today. I am joined with others and the Lord is dancing and rejoicing along with us. Even the flowers are rejoicing! I sing: “Our God reigns! The King is in our midst, he is clothed in righteousness and glory. Praise the Lord! We worship you in the beauty of your holiness!”

    Originally I had wanted to share more specifics, but it won’t help either of us. Here is what is godd to share today:

    I was watching something and I noticed something peculiar, a train had an engine and a caboose and that was it. The engine had one word written on it and the caboose had a couple. These brought meaning to me on a statement I had just made to the Lord. I can not share the statement, only that he answered my statement and questions and that more will be revealed to me further. I worked through some things and a short time later I was shown that small train had a change to it, but this I must keep to myself. There is so much insight for me for now and the future. I pray you would follow his leading and open your eyes to his communication. It makes life far more enjoyable and fruitful!!

  • Like the Jedi!

    Like the Jedi!

    3/28/26 “Good morning Lord!” “Good morning love!”, he smiles back. “Would you purify my heart, my mind, will and emotions? Sanctify my imagination and cleanse my filters? Please purify all my motives for I am yours!” “Done!” “Thank you! I need fresh oil and I ask for more joy!” “Receive it!” And I do. “What is on your heart?”, I sing to him. He sings back, his voice is lovely, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, of Israel!” “Yes Lord,” I sing back and I do!

    3/29/26 I asked the Lord to meet me in the Center of My Garden. “I am praying,” he announced and so I join him!

    A long while later: “Lord is there anything I need to know or do today?” “Let’s walk and talk and do a little work today. We can enjoy the entire garden.” He is smiling as he speaks. “Oh yes Lord, thank you!” “I love working with you!” “Me too!”

    From this morning 3/30/26: “Good morning Lord!” “Good morning daughter!” “Lead me in prayer today!” “I am!” Then the scripture from Isaiah 56:7 and Matt 21:13 came to me: “My house shall be called a house of prayer. The increased prayer the last few days has proved to be much needed. It is always best to do as the Master Gardener directs. He sees everything!

    I want to share something on my heart from when I awoke this morning. As I was waking, I remembered something from my younger days. It was bothering me and was something I have already dealt with. I asked the Holy Spirit what was going on. I asked this because I felt that there was a reason for it. I quickly realized that he was leading me to close doors in my life and family. What I remembered is Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. And witchcraft opens major spiritual doors that lead to so much pain and turmoil. Though I had dealt with this memory before it was used to bring me to repent for rebellion in my bloodline and my own life. When we face extreme pain and rejection etc. from the enemy of our souls it can lead to rebellion. Now I want to tell you I learned the proper type of rebellion long ago. Like the Jedi, I too rebel against the enemy and this world, but not God and his order. So I repented and realized that God is doing a quick, good work to shut the door on the enemy! How I and we need this! I wanted to share because I know that Jeremiah 29:11 is true, but we must do our part and kick the enemy out and repent.

  • Aid to Stay Standing!

    Aid to Stay Standing!

    The last two days there has been a stillness in the air. It has given me reason and time to pause and be still and to keep praying.

    I was diverted from the scriptures I am reading and lead to Joshua 7 and 8 today. I could have easily moved past this and gone to where I am currently reading, but I paused and read. Joshua had no idea that the commandments of the Lord for their previous battle, had been broken. They had some one spy out the new territory they were to take and it was small so they didn’t require as many men as the last. They went out to battle confident, but quickly faced defeat and shame. The Lord showed them that someone had taken and hidden things from Jericho under their tent. This required all the people to make things right. After they dealt with this treachery the Lord sent them to battle again and gave a good strategy which lead to their triumph. This is a big lesson for me. In order for us to win the small and large battles, there must be proper alignment in our lives with the Lords ways. We can not go on yesterdays instructions or wins alone, we must let truth in and get new strategy. Lord unless you lead us we can not win. Expose places we have harbored or tolerated things you have not allowed for our lives. Reveal all disobedience in our lives and homes! We need aid in this time to stay standing and to gain the ground you have for us!

    I was in the Center of My Garden and my natural surroundings joined into my encounter today. “Good morning Lord! I love you!” “I love you!” We smile and I breathe. “Lord I have brought a potted plant to you that was recently repotted. It isn’t looking right. What can be done for it?” “Pray!” “Yes Lord!” It seemed to be doing well and instantly sprung to life after repotting. Soon after a couple leaves had to be removed and this morning it seems to be languishing. I prayed a good while and I know the revelation will come. This is important for more than one area of my life.

  • Mysteries to Uncover!

    Mysteries to Uncover!

    “Good morning Lord!” “Good morning my love!” “What a beautiful misty morning it is here!” We are in the Center of My Garden. “Yes,” he smiles, “There are mysteries to uncover in Me and in your garden. Shall we explore?” “Oh yes Lord!” And we are off looking around for the Father’s Mysteries.

    I paused to reflect this morning and found that months ago I had been given scripture and mysteries about my own life. I understood them and believed them at the time, but they were for now and going forward. May we never stop uncovering the mysteries in Jesus, our own lives and all of creation!

  • I Still Believe!

    I Still Believe!

    As I enter closer into the Center of my Garden I sprint the rest of the way straight into the arms of Jesus! We are smiling and laughing! It is so good to be embraced by him. We share a greeting. “Lord,” I say, “What do you have for us today?” A butterfly goes past us as we speak. “Let us bring in the sheaves today!” “The sowing has been worth it Lord! I release the pain!” “Indeed it has been! All is well!” “Yes Lord, and I still Believe!” He smiles.

    What is the most impactful for me today is the above statement that I still believe. What a good work he is doing in me and what a wonder I am becoming, I believe you are too!

  • Just the Beginning!

    Just the Beginning!

    Today I am walking in the outer part of my garden. I am grateful for the beauty and tranquility. I pause to pick a yellow daffodil. I then pick up the pace through the personal space in my garden to the Center. I am desiring to meet with the Master Gardener this morning. “Good morning Lord,” I say as I hand him the flower. “Good morning Krista, thank you!, he receives my gift. “Lord, yesterday did not go as I planned or thought. What happened and can we enjoy the fruits today?” “Yes we can and we did yesterday too. It was just the beginning. There was much progress in resisting and choosing my ways.” “Oh you are right. Thank you. Thank you for the growth. In the past things would not have been put down and the wrong fruits would have been planted. Thank you!” I smile with thanksgiving and in my broad brimmed hat I pick up my flower basket to pick more “fruit” of our labour.

    As the day has gone by we have partaken of much fruit, flowers and many other fruits. I am so grateful for his work in me! He is so patient and constant!

  • Take these Burdens!

    Take these Burdens!

    As I enter the Center of my Garden, I seek the Master Gardeners help right away. “Lord, please take these burdens I carried. They are not mine to carry and some are not mine to carry alone.” “Please help me to keep growing and keep proper boundaries. I trust the work you are doing and I know you see all. I yield to your working. Will you help me to not be deceived or confused? I want to be steady like you!” “Yes, now lay those burdens down at my feet and let’s get to the real work for today!” When he spoke there was a sparkle in his eyes and joy in his voice. And just like that I am reassured that he sees and hears me, that he really is working all things for my good. “Thank you Lord. What are we working on today?” “Joy and fruitfulness, let’s pick some fruit, shall we?” “Oh yes Lord.” And I let the sunshine in!

    Something I want to share with you is all of this has been a process. I have been working through the first bit of this even late into the morning. I have just begun the working along side him now and can see the fruits will be enjoyed later today!
