  • Breaking the System not People!

    Breaking the System not People!

    “Lord welcome to our garden. Here I am for your pleasure!” “You do please me! Do not be afraid to move out into all I have for you. Do not be afraid to grow!” “Yes Lord, only help me!” “I am, and remember I am your great reward!” “Yes Lord, how true and comforting this is!”

    How true it is that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but evil spirits. This is how we can forgive. We all have had evil influence work through us, it is when people accept it and practice it we need stronger boundaries. It is my boundaries I am working on and to be fair I have taught many how to not have boundaries with me. It doesn’t excuse them, it puts things into proper perspective. In Luke chapter 6 one of the things Jesus tells us is to love and do good to our enemies. For someone who has come out of abuse an important thing to realize is you can love and do good to an enemy, it is just important to realize the truth about the person and not entrust yourself to them. I found myself, the other day letting a kind greeting someone gave me begin to disarm me and it made me realize I have done this to my and others detriment. I will continue to love them and keep those boundaries firm. The person has shown they are not a friend and in essence my enemy, it is very covert. I can rise above, but I must not gaslight myself or try to get others to let such people into their lives anymore. It comes down to discernment. These things are important to me because the bible tells us to guard our hearts and that in the last days the love of many would grow cold and that they would be lovers of self. Also that there will be great deception. We can love, have boundaries, and face the truth. Even if we fail, which doesn’t mean we are failures or someone tricks us, we can move forward forgiving and growing in truth, but not pretending. I also want to add that I learned improper boundaries and there are some in my life I have expected too much of and for my part I am repentant of this. In order to not gaslight myself I must add I have covered for and expected too little of others and I am making amends. I am interested in breaking the system not people!

    Speaking on wisdom…and I will take a healthy dose of that!!! Proverbs 9:11 For by me your days will be multiplied, And years of life will be added to you.

  • Growth and Beauty!

    Growth and Beauty!

    “Good morning Lord!” As I walked into the Center of My Garden I was helped on with a shear shawl. It was preparation and to remind me of my status with the Master Gardener- the King, a symbol of authority. I walk in humbly, with confidence and a smile. He smiles and takes me by the hand. “What are we working on today?” “Growth and beauty. I see you have put on your robe of humility, daughter.” “Oh yes Lord!” “Things did not go as you expected, that is okay. Keep following me and trusting me,” he smiles. “I am doing a good work in you!” “Yes Lord you are!” And we begin today’s work.

    If you find yourself, like me, a bit uncomfortable in the process he has you in, it is okay. Do not give up and be encouraged and strengthened.

    Rev 12:11 And they overcame by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

  • oh His smile!/a New way.

    oh His smile!/a New way.

    5/17/26 “Good morning Lord, I love you!” “Good morning Krista,” he is smiling at me, oh His smile! “Are you Ready to live and thrive and move in me?” “Yes Lord, I am, help me make the adjustments in order to do this!” “I am, I will! The planting is completed this morning, let us enjoy the whole garden.” “Yes Lord! Lead me on!”

    I hear the Spirit saying: If My people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal there land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 Amen! And so I turn, we turn whole heartedly to you Jesus. We forsake all wicked ways. Heal our land, restore our families- bless our lives! Equip us to reach the children. Have your way in the United States of America and the whole World.

    On this national day of Rededication, I rededicate my life, my family, my country The United States of America to God/Jesus, and all our purposes!!! Will you join me?

    Yesterdays post:

    5/16/26 “Lord, good morning”- I burst into the Center of My Garden with a smile, “I am eager to work and be with you!” He embraces me, “Let us continue our work today Krista!” And this fills my heart to overflowing! “Yes Lord let’s continue! Speak/reveal the truth in love to me and supply my needs, show me the way in which to overcome the challenges.” And we head out hand in hand.

    Our conversation as we walk: “Lord I do not want to continue in the way they are going and I do not want to cater to them anymore. I choose to go alone with you a new way. I can do all things… Give me what I need to do this. Help me Jesus! I need help inside myself and from their schemes. I so forgive them, but I’ll not have it anymore. Will you help me? “Yes Krista,” he extends his hand to me, and I take it. “I will lead you out today, don’t be afraid, will you follow? “Yes Lord I am following!” “Keep your eyes on me and stay close.” “Yes Lord, help me!” “I am!”

    I hear the Spirit say: I am my beloveds and he is mine, his banner over me is love. Song of Solomon 2:4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

  • Offer my Hand to Him!

    Offer my Hand to Him!

    I walk into the Center of My Garden and offer my hand to him to lead me. His hand was already extended toward me, to my surprise. I look up and smile, “I love you,” I say. ” I know,” he smiles. And we walk toward a very lit place of sunshine and joy- nestled between green hills. “What a day this will be Lord lead on.” And he does!

    Today the Lord says: “Come away with me my love.” Will you take his invitation? I know I am!

    Song of Solomon 2:10-11 My beloved spoke, and said to me: “Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away. For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone!”

  • So this is love!

    So this is love!

    I am coming into the Center of my Garden to meet with my Lord. As I walk I am preparing myself. I want to be ready to hear and see and still enough to just be with him. Then I am preparing for the Master Gardener’s instructions for the day. As I enter I bow, “Lord I yield to you today.” I pause a moment with head bowed. “Peace to you my child,” he says. I receive it and look up. “Let us drink of love this morning.” “Yes Lord.” I sing the last line of a song from my childhood, “So this is love!” And indeed it is! Jesus is the love of my life. He is the one who came and found me at 5. He has been the one overseeing the growth in me. I was never really alone through my own faltering or others. When all was lost he made a way. He heals the damage inflicted on us by this world. He never intends to leave us in disrepair or our chains. Like me and my garden, he has a good plan for your life. Today, won’t you invite the Master Gardener in to set your garden in order? His hand is extended toward you too!

  • Rivers of Love!

    Rivers of Love!

    Today I want to get lost, drowned, in your rivers of Love Lord. Saturate me and dunk me good! I need the refreshment and to be filled! I am headed to the place where these rivers converge. Maybe you want to leave the banks and dive in with me today. Maybe you will start out standing in the shallows, or swimming , but me I have dove in head first, now let your waves crash down over me Lord. Fill me with your love for your people and a holy reverence toward you! Let the wounds of the past and disappointments from past seasons wash away. Renew me Lord. I think I will swim a while here, friend! I hope you do today too! (I will go now for the King of Kings has entered the scene and has joined me and I must laugh and be with him awhile!!!)
