  • I Am Here!

    I Am Here!

    5/6/26 “Lord I am here, I want to be with you!” He takes my hand and leads me on.

    5/7/26 “Good morning Lord, I need you today!” “Yes and I am here to guide you and equip you. Will you follow me?” “Yes Lord I will follow you! What are we doing in the garden today?” “Pray and I will lead you.” “Yes Lord!”

    Today is a day for being still and taking ground. It does seem contradictory, but it is not. The Master Gardener is training me in protecting my garden, reclaiming it, and leading me to abundance.

  • Let’s Go Fishing!

    Let’s Go Fishing!

    “Lord- You are beautiful! I love this day and I love you! Thank you for the growth in my garden.” He smiles, “Let’s go fishing in the pond today!” He is wearing a fishing hat and it makes me smile. “Lord I will fish with you. Will you teach me?” “Oh yes, let’s go…” and we are off!

    Later on: “What will we catch today Lord?” “You will see.” We set out a little deeper into the center of the pond.” Lord this is amazing. The life you give is indescribable!” He laughs with joy and I join in.

    Psalm 119:31-32 I cling to Your testimonies; O LORD, do not put me to shame! I will run the course of Your commandments, For You shall enlarge my heart.

  • This Garden Will Grow!

    This Garden Will Grow!

    5/2/2026 As I walk I sing “Oh the blood of Jesus…”. As I progress to the Center of My Garden I begin to breathe in the Lords presence. “Hear I am to worship you Lord, to honor and listen to you.” He smiles and places my head on his shoulder. “Rest Krista, I am here and I am working. Nothing will remain the same, continue to follow me and let go all! You will know what I am breathing on.” “Yes Lord! Keep me from distractions.”

    5/3/2026 “Good morning Lord!,” I smile. “Good morning daughter!” We have been working in the Garden already, we just came together in the Center to begin the days important tasks. “Let us walk through the garden today. I will show you what is going on and give you keener discernment.” “Thank you Lord!” “This is what I need!” And we begin to stroll.

    5/4/26 Prepare me Holy Spirit. I put on the garments of praise and a smile upon my face, from my heart and I enter the Center of my Garden , where the King awaits me. “I love you Lord!” “And I love you!” I begin to sing “El Shaddai…”. I am still in his presence. “What are we doing in the garden today Lord?” “We are working side by side. We will laugh and enjoy and you and this garden will grow!” “Yes Lord I agree!”

    I am grateful I did not get a chance to put out these posts separately. They have had a profound effect on me today, to see them written out one after another. I see the Master Gardener is working and I am following! “I trust you Lord and I submit to your leading!”

    Rev 2:11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death. How important this scripture is in this day and time. I needed it today!

  • Prisoners of Hope!

    Prisoners of Hope!

    “Good morning Lord!” “Good morning Krista!” “Thank you Lord for your work in me! I yield to you, would you help me too?” “Yes” he smiles.

    What ever we are facing in our lives right now may we remain His prisoners of Hope! This scripture just hit me right last night and this morning I am so encouraged by it and it is still on my mind: Zechariah 9:12 Return to the stronghold, You prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you. I was also encouraged by the surrounding verses. I pray you would give over more fully to Jesus hope and all that means for you!

  • Fruit!

    Fruit!

    I walked by a tree and took of it’s fruit. And I see grapes growing on the vine. I take a bite of my apple and taste the sweetness. “Lord, there is fruit here!” “Yes daughter, it is good fruit!” “Yes Lord, shall I lay a table before you with honey and fruit?” “Yes let us enjoy!” And I get to work to serve the Master Gardener, who is always serving me and others.

    Exodus 13:21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night.

  • He is for Us!

    He is for Us!

    “Good morning Lord,” I smile and fling myself into his arms. He chuckles and wraps his arms around me. “Would you give strength and purpose for the day?” “Yes, let us get to work. It is a good day!” “Yes Lord it is good and good to work beside you! I love you!

    A scripture that stood out to me this morning is Joshua 1:5: “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. God is good and he is for us, may we be for him!

  • Quiet and Still!

    Quiet and Still!

    I walk into the Center of My Garden today and I smile. I look around and I am quiet and still. It is a beautiful time and a beautiful day, “Increase your Glory Lord!” And he smiles a knowing smile.

    It has been a painful day, but with much purpose. And that makes it all worth it! I am grateful for the morning I had with the Lord as I began to walk through it.

    Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. How true this promise is!

  • Picking a Bouquet!

    Picking a Bouquet!

    As I walk to the Center of my Garden, I am picking a bouquet of flowers to give to the Master Gardener. “Good morning my Lord!” “Good morning,” he smiles and I hand him the fragrant bouquet. “What shall we do today in our garden Lord?” “Pray and rest and receive my joy and strength more deeply. As we work lean into trust more and let go all!” “Yes, Lord, I know you will help me!” “I will.”

    Proverbs 16:8 Better is a little with righteousness, than vast revenues without justice.

    Are there truths you need to face today? I know there are for me. May we have the courage to face Him and get the intel and instruction we need and then may we rise up in obedience and displace the giants in our way!

  • Don’t Look for Comfort Alone!

    Don’t Look for Comfort Alone!

    I am preparing myself as I come into the Center of My Garden. I have asked the Holy Spirit to ready me. After all, I am meeting with the King and Master Gardener and I want to receive and fully be with him. I am putting on garments of praise, purity, and humility. I am adorning myself with quietness, trust, and the peace he has given me. And I put on a smile. “Good morning my Lord, I love you and how beautiful you are!” “Good morning my love!” We enjoy the fragrance of unity! “Purify my heart today Lord! Lord, I am concerned about betrayals and giving to the wrong people. I am desiring to face the truth, which is you, and see clearly with keener discerning of spirits and have proper boundaries. You have been speaking to me to treat people well regardless of what they do, for you see. I just don’t want to have improper ties, beliefs, or boundaries. I ask for wisdom with emotional stability and I let go!” “Thank you this is wisdom daughter. All will be well, keep following me and trusting my plan and process. Don’t look for comfort alone. I will lead, teach, and equip you to do all I need you to. Will you trust me?” “Oh yes Lord, only I need your help!” “You have it!” “Lead me in the work in my whole garden, let us make it the way that will invite your Glory more!” And we get to work!

    In the midst of a storm, in the middle of the night, I was reminded that the storm is not to be my main focus. Yes it is here, but my focus is on who is with me in the storm, Jesus. I got up singing “Dance like the weight has been lifted…” and believe me I did and continue to dance! My psalm today is 60, verses 4-5 stood out to me: You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah That Your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and hear me. The next, verses 11-12: Give us help from trouble , for the help of man is useless. Through God we will do valiantly, for it is He who shall tread down our enemies. What promises we have from God, what wonders he shows through our lives!

  • You don’t need Gimmicks!

    You don’t need Gimmicks!

    “Good morning Lord,” he smiles and places my hair behind my ear. He loves me! “I had read something just before my time with him and in this moment my mind wanders back to it and then I ask him about it. “Lord is there an act of giving or step I can take to bring the increase I need?” “He quickly replies, “Krista, I will supply your every need, you don’t need gimmicks or to twist my arm. I am most willing to care for and bless you, even with increase!” “Yes Lord, I trust you to provide and guide me. Take ways from me that are not of you. Expose lies, I want to please you and lead me in acts of obedience as you wish!” “I have and will, just keep growing daughter!” “Yes Lord! Is there anything on your heart that you want to share with me?” “Let us just be together today and work with me!” “Yes Lord!” And I am so willing to follow the Master Gardener.

    Acts of wisdom and obedience are good and to be done, but over all we need a healthy relationship with Jesus over all else. He will supply all our need, we need to put him first!

    A scripture that stood out to me today is John 10:28-30 “And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” I know I needed to declare and remember this today for others as well as myself!
