  • Like a weaned Child!

    Like a weaned Child!

    “Good morning Lord, like a weaned child I have quieted my soul. What is on your heart and agenda for us today?” “Come to me and let me further quiet your heart and I will hold you. It isn’t easy to transition, but all is well.” I look up and smile, “Thank you!” “As you let go I will provide and lead you.” “Okay Lord, I do!”

    This was a good reminder for me this morning: Romans 14:17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

    The joy of the Lord is my strength. It is ok to have some pain and sorrow in the transitions. I definitely will not settle here, but it is important to pay attention to it and process it. Then it is ok to smile, be brave and enjoy the day! that is what I am making up my mind to do now. Denial usually lands one in over reaction eventually or a repeating of the same cycles, so facing things and sitting a while is a great idea. The Master Gardener is so good at amending our lives and gardens. I am so glad I do not have to do this life alone! Give us fresh oil today Lord, the oil of gladness!

  • We are One!

    We are One!

    “Lord, I have come before your thrown today! Seeking your favor and bringing my petitions before you. I am asking you for favor to fulfill my destiny and for those of my household and family to overcome and fulfill their destinies.” He replies while extending his rod to me: “Granted!” A wave of his power, authority, and love (which entails much), wash over me and soak into every pore and fiber of my being. “Thank you Lord!” I dance before him with joy! “Is there anything else?” “Yes, I am asking you for my home and the resources I need to do the work you have for me to bless.” He asks me to put out my hands and arms. “Will you receive it if I grant it?” “Yes Lord I will, but help me to and remove anything that would hinder me fully receiving your blessing. Make me a woman of strength and character, that I might fully receive.” His head is thrown back in joy and laughter and a smile: “Granted!” And wave after wave overtake and envelope me! “Hallelujah! I receive, I believe! Thank you Lord. Also, Lord it is unity and an intimate relationship with you now and forever, that I am requesting most of all!” “He looks at me tenderly and says: “I know, my love and it is yours and ours. We are one!“

    This was the encounter that the Holy Spirit was leading me to this morning. To go before the King! It is that simple. May he lead you today, may he sanctify your imagination and emotions and cleanse your filters and gates, then lead you in the encounter he has for you today. I am going to go and enjoy my time with the King!!!

    Jeremiah 29:13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

  • A fresh Sowing!

    A fresh Sowing!

    “Good morning Lord. It is a bright and cheery day!” “Yes my love,” he smiles and chuckles. “Lord The Center of My Garden looks different. It has been pruned more than I originally thought we would do.” “Yes, there is change and there is growth.” “True, I am excited for the summer blooms!’ “Me too! Shall we continue our work?” “Yes!” And we set off to water and plant.

    Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

    The vertical garden I have has gone through a big change. I found that there is not enough light for even the partial shade plants to grow. A fresh sowing of seeds has already taken place and I am hopeful for the new growth. I will have to be patient. I have been able to keep a few plants and hoping to see some better results from them, but time will tell! It took me a few days to uproot what was planted, I did not want to begin again, but I would have lost a lot of time and more resources and it is okay.

  • Let’s do This!

    Let’s do This!

    7/11/2026 “Good morning Lord,” I say as I twirl into the Center of My Garden. He takes my hand and helps me dance a little longer. “Lord you add grace upon grace to my life.” He does a slight bow and smiles. “Thank you, will you continue to beautify my life?” “Yes I will. You are beautiful my beloved. Shall we continue this dance?” And I hold out my hand and we do.

    1 Peter 5:10,11 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

    7/12/26 “Good morning Lord, I love you, I love you so!” “Good morning, let’s keep walking forward.” “Yes Lord!” “There is a good work ahead to be done. Let’s do this!” And we will!!!

    Hebrews 3:13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today”, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

  • Begins with a little Green!

    Begins with a little Green!

    “Good morning Lord.” I smile and draw closer to the Master Gardener. I draw in even closer to see what he is doing and I begin to work with him. “The work we are doing today will be made plan soon, just continue to follow my lead.” “Yes Lord.”

    Titus 3:3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

    Oh how good it is to be patient and let the Lord work in me and in others, should they choose his way. I am glad to be corrected and taught and to remain faithful to Jesus first and foremost. He still does miracles and this process in me is proof!!! Just when the time seems far spent or the pressure seems to be producing nothing a surprise! It begins with a little green!

  • Rise Above!

    Rise Above!

    “Good morning Lord! I came here this morning with an emotional limp. I have decided to look away from it and seek you for all. Now I forgive, myself first, then another. Now I choose your better way and maturity with healing. Now I choose to rise above and be your daughter. Now I choose the life you have for me. Now I choose that abundant life you paid for. Now I choose you Jesus! I choose you!” As I spoke more and more the Lord began to laugh with joy!

    ‘You turned my morning into dancing!” “Yes I did. That is what happens when you look to me and let go!” “Hallelujah!” I have laughed then cried from joy. What an unexpected relief. I am gonna breathe in this moment a while. Once again the Master Gardener has surprised me with delight. I sing: “I’m yours Lord, everything I have…” “Let us continue our work in the garden Krista. There is much pruning needed, follow my lead, I will show you.” “Yes Lord!” And we set back to work.

    Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

    It took some more struggle and wrestling as the morning went on. Pruning has been done and clarity has come. Life changes and the Master Gardeners help is needed to begin again, new. I had to stay close all day for I could not tell on my own what needed the pruning and how to let go! It is more than trusting in him, it has been trusting his plan too!

  • Strength to Stand!

    Strength to Stand!

    “Good morning Lord, I love you.” “Good morning Krista,” he smiles. I sing: ‘I am free to run… I am free to live for you… ‘ Thank you Holy Spirit for answering my prayer and singing the answer through me!” “You are welcome Krista, I am always here for you. And I love you as well.” “Oh precious Holy Spirit, thank you. I am humbled and grateful! Hallelujah!” I am a bit undone and sit in the moment. The Holy Spirit was helping me prepare to enter the Center of My Garden and I had sent out a silent prayer. “Lord thank you for your help in all my garden. I need it!” “Let us continue on in our good works Krista. All is shaping up nicely.” “Yes Lord, I repent, would you help me to rid myself of doubt and unbelief?” “I am, now follow me!” “Yes Lord!”

    Zechariah 9:16 The LORD their God will save them in that day, As the flock of His people. For they shall be like the jewels of a crown, Lifted like a banner over His land-

    The work has been profound and I see the Master Gardeners steadfastness, and work has produced much! He has given me the strength to stand and I am in Awe!

  • 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!

  • It is the Yielding!

    It is the Yielding!

    “Good morning Lord,” I smile. “Here I am Lord.” “Good morning, follow my lead this morning. Look to please me and satisfy my longings and will for you.” “Yes Lord, yes. Thank you for clarity and quieting the noise!” He smiles: “You are most welcome. Now shall we get to work?” “Oh yes!” And we do!

    Well it is one of those days where my eyes are opened and clarity is here. This is good. There has been pressing through the noise and struggle and a willingness to see the truth and yield to the Lord in it all. I have decided to see and not be confused. I will trust the Master Gardener in the process. I found some issues in my garden and the Center of My Garden and today all I can do is make a note and ask for help. Help is on the way! I believe it is the yielding that is the most important, followed by seeing the issues and not ignoring or fixating on them. I am growing and that is what is important right now.

  • Un-Ensnared!

    Un-Ensnared!

    “Good morning Lord!” “Good morning Krista! I am glad you have come to meet with me this morning. You need my continued guidance and help. ” “Yes Lord, I do! What shall I ask you?” “Pray.” “Yes Lord, lead me.” “I am.”

    1 Peter 1:6,7 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Christ,

    I turned my attention to the clues of wisdom being given me from the Holy Spirit. I also turned my attention away from the lies and smoke screens from the enemy. What I found is where my feet have been trapped over and again and it simply comes down to witchcraft, which is an operation of the flesh. Yes there was some sorcery involved too, but I am seeing clearer and no longer trapped by it. It can come through people, but spirits alone can bring lying signs and distractions. May discernment continue to grow and may feet continue to remain un-ensnared. After all it is written: He whom the Son sets free is free indeed, and that is most definitely me!!!
