  • Labor with Purpose and Determination!

    Labor with Purpose and Determination!

    “Good morning Lord- what a beautiful day in the Center of My Garden.” He is on the ground, trowel in hand and beads of water are falling onto the planting. He is laboring for me, teaching me, and the intensity of the light is causing beads to fall from his forehead. “Lord your labor is watering the seeds. Will you teach me how to partner with you in your labor with purpose and determination, but not striving and on my own?” “Yes, watch me and follow. Do as I do,” he smiles. “Thank you Lord for showing me that you care for me so tenderly and faithfully. How I need your love!” And with that I get down beside him to work! I begin to sing “What a mighty God we serve.”

    Something on my heart began yesterday. I was given such praise from the Lord and then I saw a scripture that seemed challenging and began to feel lacking, critical. I believe it is good to let scripture and truth pierce me and challenge me to grow, but I have been finding something else going on. It is comparison. Sometimes we are expecting things of ourselves and it is too much. God requires from us what we can do and have, yes he will challenge us at times to do more, but we can get overwhelmed with some things by expecting more than he is actually asking of us. It is something we do, listening and looking at what something looks like in another’s life, I am finding it is good to do what we can, but it wont be the same way always, in which others fulfill things. Now I am not talking about sin. God can be asking us to start small, in our eyes or others eyes, and often we can do something (acts of kindness etc.), but it looks different than the accepted normal way. I just want to challenge you to open up to seeing how the Lord has called you to fulfill his requests for you in your life. I am currently doing this. It can often begin in our own house or toward one person or situation. There are things that we overlook as well, we don’t deem them anything, but they are love and obedience and when we see the truth it makes it easier for us to let go of false expectations and continue on out of encouragement. I stopped to ask for how I am fulfilling the scripture and how I might continue too grow in it. And he showed me and I felt empowered instead of feeling unable like my feet hand been cut off beneath me. I pray for a revelation for you in this too that you might know the love and goodness of our God more fully!

  • Break the Chains of Shame!

    Break the Chains of Shame!

    “Lord, I love you,” I sit beside him. “I love you,” he smiles. “Happy Mother’s day, you are a good mother Lord! I want to honor you today and follow in obedience quicker. I want to grow as a mother too. Will you lead me today Lord?” “Yes, I will!” “Thank you, I lay my head on his shoulder.

    I wonder if you know how sweet and satisfying it is to get honor from Jesus. I received it from him this morning after writing the above. He brought me to a scripture and I am blessed! I had to stop and let the love wash over me. How wonderful to receive praise from the one it matters most from. I had to let it in and let go the feeling to hide from his love and praise, but I am growing and I will not agree with the lies anymore. I hope you let him love you today. I pray that the lies that have bound you would fall behind you today! I give a mother’s blessing to you from the Father and from me!!! I love you! Let us break the chains of shame today by His Spirit!

    Proverbs 31:10, Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. 28-31 Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her: “Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all.” Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates.

  • Thank You!

    Thank You!

    “Good morning my King,” I smile! “Good morning my love.” “What does this day entail?” “Let’s enjoy the garden today, rest, and rejoice!” “Oh wonderful idea Lord.” And we move straight into the heart of it!

    1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

    What wonders are being worked in me and my garden in this season. I yield a little more to the processes I am in. “Thank you Master Gardener, for showing me the way!”

  • Here I am!

    Here I am!

    “Good morning Lord.” “Good morning Krista! Are you ready for life and joy?” “Oh yes, please Lord!” “Then let’s get to it, follow me!” And I do! “Yes Lord.”

    On the battlefield today I had to stand up again and look and see what it is I have been taught and what is being exposed. It is, at times that the instructions we are getting are for the moment and then there comes a day and it was also for that day and time, all of it. I am there. I do not see the fullness of it, but I stood up on the battle field and said “Yes”. The Lord is calling me to stand and advance and I can do it. “Lord I hear your call and Here I am!” I hope you will answer his call to our stations. Lord give us clarity and courage!!!

    Ephesians 6:12-13 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

  • 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!

  • Stay Close!

    Stay Close!

    I push away and duck under low hanging branches that are full of blossoms. “Good morning Lord!” He smiles and beckons me to come and sit beside him. I gladly do this and snuggle into him and breathe. “Lord, I love you!” “I love you daughter! Stay close today in the Garden, follow me closely and pray. I will direct you, do not hesitate and trust my lead.” ” Yes Lord,” I say with confidence (in Him) and a smile!

    Psalm 7:18-19 Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who only does wonderous things! And blessed be His glorious name forever! And let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen.

  • I confess!

    I confess!

    “Holy Spirit you are most welcome here! Good morning Lord. I love you.” “And the I love you Krista,” he has a smile for me. I pause and breathe him in. I begin to sing “Oh the Blood of Jesus!” It washes over me. “Purify my heart, let me be as gold…” “What do you have for us in the garden Lord?” “Pray fervently this morning.” “Yes Lord and I begin straight away. “Lead me in prayer.” “I am, just yield!” And I do!

    James 5:16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

    Practice: Lord I confess the areas of weakness in me, I have turned a blind eye to spirits through people to be loved and cared for. I look to you and will walk in the emotional stability you have given me, and not cling to people and patterns that do not serve your purpose! I pray for the release of my brother and sister from all forms of control in their lives. I ask you to heal me and heal them. That we might live free of narcissistic influence and be whole in spirit, body and mind as well!!!

  • Guide Me!

    Guide Me!

    “Good morning Lord! Would you guide me in placing my resources in the places you are building and working in. Show me what is distraction, even if it is a good thing.” I went on to ask for the things he had told me to ask for yesterday. “I pray for the peace of Jerusalem!” “I am leading you, follow me!” “Lord make my heart soft and my forehead like flint.” “Keep near me, my love, I am working in you! Let us continue to plant today!” And we get to work, with a smile!

    Psalm 37:7-9 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him: Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret it only causes harm. For evil doers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord, They shall inherit the earth.
