    There is Grace!

    I won’t always share my journals or walks with the Master Gardener, I can’t, but I will share them when it is beneficial today I have a different topic.

    Grace isn’t just for pardoning us, it gives us strength and power to overcome and to act. Today I am thinking about grace. I am asking for it and receiving it to step up and into what is mine to do in this new season. I need grace to recognize or see the open doors and opportunities. Then I need that empowering grace to step through and meet the challenges. I simply take a step and trust God will provide all to accomplish the task he has set before me. Sometimes I think it is easy to just wait for a door to open, but sometimes a door is open and it might not be the door we wanted to be open first. Today, I guess it is to try the doors and just take a step. If it is about being faithful and taking the next step and waiting, well I will find that out, but I will not just hang about with no aim or purpose. I don’t need to know a lot, just be faithful and diligent with the little.

    Ezra 5:2 So Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak rose up and began to build the house of God which is in Jerusalem; and the prophets of God were with them, helping them.

  • Grace and Plan!

    Grace and Plan!

    “Good morning Lord.” I proceed over and into his arms and remain pressed against his chest. “I love you,” I whisper. “And I love you,” he tenderly replies. I need to stay here in this moment for a while. I sing: “Take away the veil…” We still hold one another, but make a little room between us and I look up. “How might I please you today?” “Pray and follow me, I have not left you as an orphan.” “Yes Lord and yes. Thank you. I surrender, lead on.” And he does. Sometimes a reminder that I don’t need to twist his arm or work my way into his grace and plan is needed!

    1 Corinthians 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

    I am facing some issues in my vertical garden. They were reasons that kept me from moving forward to even beginning one, but I am seeking his help with this and I am overcoming. I am glad I began. I have overcome some issues with it already. I am hopeful these new issues will be brought into resolve too. It is not the garden, it is the circumstance it is in. This is a bit like my life and courage and joy are needed. A whole lot of surrendering outcomes is good too!
