  • 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!

  • Happy Resurrection Sunday!

    Happy Resurrection Sunday!

    “Lord Happy Resurrection Sunday! Thank you for dying and rising from the dead!” He smiles, big and warmly, “You are most welcome!” “It is finished Lord!” “Indeed!” “It is a day of rest and celebration now!” “Yes it is!” “Lord thank you for showing me weak areas in me yesterday! And for shoring me up! Help me not to get ahead of you!” “You are welcome and I will help you!” “Thank you! Feast with me today Lord, on love and a bit of food!” And we do!!!

    I came to my garden a little later today. It was a good time with him. I hope you seek Jesus today! I hope you accept his free gift of salvation even more today! Happy Resurrection Sunday! I love you and the Master Gardener does too!

  • Full Circle!

    Full Circle!

    “Good morning my King.” He smiles and I am bathed in his love! “Good morning.” “It is a new day my Lord!” “Yes, and he turns his head from looking at me to the direction he wants me to go with him. There has been a glimmer in his eye and up ahead the light glimmers too! I take his hand. “Lord, I am yours Let us go!” And we do!

    In my reading today, I read Matt. 25:1-13. It is a parable Jesus taught about the kingdom and the importance of being ready for him. There are 5 wise virgins and 5 foolish. I have determined, a new, that I will be a wise virgin and in doing this, and in light of the scene above, I will leave all and follow my Lord! Master Gardener, use my life for your joy and glory! I am your servant to command. Help me to be obedient. Help me to be available to serve you! I am moving forward with you Lord! And I pray for the peace of Jerusalem!!

    As I type this evening, I am brought full circle to my time this morning with the Lord. I am thankful I wrote things down. Some of what I needed to see is difficult and it has brought clarity and taken the sting that might have other wise succeeded in distracting me from going ahead.

  • 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.

  • Don’t Go Off Track!

    Don’t Go Off Track!

    We are sitting on the park bench in my garden and have warm cups of coffee. It is a nice start to the morning. We chat and sip for a while. I turn to the Master Gardener and say: “Thank you for such a pleasant start to the day Lord!” “You are welcome!” We are partaking in very aromatic and quite delicious cinnamon rolls. “Lord feed me today and give me the bread and milk to share with others” “Granted.” I sit and receive.

    Something that got my attention yesterday and today is the Lord showed me Goshen and it is a reminder that if we are his people we dwell in this time in Goshen and his protection and provision is for us!

    Of course in a time of exposure in larger areas of our governments and churches, everywhere actually, it works into our daily lives. It is important to remember who we belong to and who loves us. Jesus is our everything. We can then put the proper boundaries with people who insist on staying in their toxicity and let new roots be established. This is what I am looking for in my plant that was repotted. I realized it had lost a bunch of the little roots and so it will take a bit of time to reestablish them and this is how it is in my garden and life. I must let new roots grow, sometimes these things happen and we must let go! As I was dealing with these new boundaries I was speaking about earlier, I saw “Return to the Main Line!” In the midst of attempted chaos to undo my boundaries the Lord was telling me to get back to doing what he needs me to do and focus on him and that. It helped me to not get caught up and off course. Sometimes we just have to head straight back to the main things so we don’t go off track!

  • 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!
