  • Just him, especially Him!

    8/8/26 “Good morning my King, it is a beautiful day.” The King is arrayed in splendor, his robes exude glory. He has his crown upon his head. His robes are brilliant light. Magnificent! “I love you, you are glorious!” He smiles. I am walking with the King today! “What about what was on my heart in the night Lord?” “Pray Krista,” he smiles and motions us to walk on the path. I follow his lead.

    8/9/26 “Good afternoon my King.” He smiles and looks into my eyes. We are walking and talking and just being with one another. He has already been guiding me at work in the Center and whole of My Garden today. It was just time to reenter the Center with him and set my heart more fully on just him, especially him!

    Isaiah 64:8 But now, O LORD, You are our Father; We are the clay. and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand.

  • The wonder in His Eyes!

    The wonder in His Eyes!

    “Good morning Lord,” I smile. He loves it when I smile. “Good morning my love.” We dance this morning. “I love the work you are doing in my garden Lord! It is our garden!” “Yes, it is beautiful.” Shall we work?” “Yes!”

    Psalm 118:8 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.

    On a particularly warm day and the heat from navigating new life which entails leaving the familiar behind, I am grateful and filled with joy. As I follow the Master Gardeners lead, life and growth spring up and a new day is established. It is okay that I don’t quite know how it will look, but I have a few clues and the wonder in His eyes tells me it is gonna be good!

  • Fruitful and Beautiful!

    Fruitful and Beautiful!

    “Good morning Lord. I love you.” “Good morning sweetheart! It is going to be a fruitful and beautiful day!” “Amen, hallelujah! Well then, lead me on Lord, let’s get to work!” He smiles and laughs and we walk deeper into the Garden.

    It really has been a fruitful and a beautiful day. I am so glad I have followed the Master Gardeners plan for this time and day. He always has surprises waiting.

    Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

  • You are in Ignorance!

    You are in Ignorance!

    I am helped on with the robe of humility, as I prepare and quiet my soul. I enquire what I should bring. I bring him a song: “My beloved is the most beautiful…Yeshua…, good Morning Lord!” “What is on your heart today?” “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” “Yes Lord!” “Lord I need help with boundaries. I need wisdom. I desire to offer you sweet mature fruit. I lay down the fear and I will be patient. Will you help me? This is such a tender place Lord. Am I missing something or in ignorance or disobedience?” “Yes, Krista, you are in ignorance, and it would lead to disobedience if left alone.” “Will you tell and or show me what I need to know?” “Yes, but will you believe me and obey me?” “Yes, however, I know I need your help to see and believe and obey. Please, will you help me?” “Yes, now pray.” “Holy Spirit guide me and help in prayer.”

    Deuteronomy 4:30-31 When you are in distress, and all these things come upon you in the later days, when you turn to the LORD your God and obey His voice (for the LORD your God is a merciful God), He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them.

  • Gripped with Obedience!

    Gripped with Obedience!

    The Holy Spirit is preparing me to go into the Center of My Garden and meet with the Master Gardener. “Lord, good morning,” I smile and I joyfully hand him the lily bouquet the Holy Spirt provided me with. “Thank you my love,” and he takes in the fragrance of the flowers. He caresses my face with his hand and I close my eyes and am undone. We drink of love. We then begin to walk and talk.

    1 John 2:10 He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

    Ezekiel 23 is what I had been lead to today. God is addressing His beloved people. Ezekiel 23:4 Their names: Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister; They were Mine, And they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem is Oholibah. It goes on to tell of their betrayal and great harlotry toward him. He exposes them individually. He then says they will be given over into the hands of their lovers who will be cruel. Verse 24 says: And they shall come against you with chariots, wagons, and war horses, with a horde of people. They shall array against you buckler, shield and helmet all around. I will delegate judgement to them, and they shall judge you according to their judgements. It continues to explain just what they will do. Verse 35 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have forgotten Me and cast Me behind your back, Therefore you shall hear the penalty of your lewdness and your harlotry.” He talks about how they even sacrificed their sons to idols. You can read the entire chapter if you like.

    If before Christ came his people were brought to account for betraying him, what makes us think that now after Christ gave himself for us that he will not deal with us similar if we reject the Son. Yes He is very patient with us, waiting for us to turn fully to Him, but He will not wait forever. There are times and seasons set in order and we must choose. Today I have been gripped with obedience. That is what I which to give Him instead of treachery! Lord as you forgave and restored your people long ago, today as we turn to you, heal us and our land. Teach us to serve and fear you alone. How faithful and true you are. And what a wonderous job you do of restoration.

  • A God like You!

    A God like You!

    8/1/26 We are sitting in my garden talking Spirit to spirit, face to face.

    John 4:23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father is spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

    8/2/26 “Good morning Lord, I love you so! What is on your heart today?” “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!” And I do!

    Psalm 5:11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love your name be joyful in You.

    8/3/26 “Good morning My King,” I bow. “Good morning daughter,” he smiles. He extends his sceptre toward me. I rise. How lovely you are oh Lord,” I sing. He truly is magnificent, glorious, beautiful, and I tell Him of this. My Lord, I do not know what to ask of you this morning. Will you tell me what you would like and search my heart to fulfil your will in and through me?” “Granted,” and he rises and takes my hand and we walk in the courts.

    Micah 7:18 Who is a God like You, Pardoning iniquity and passing over the transgression of the remnant of His Heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in mercy.

  • What Wonders!

    What Wonders!

    “Good morning Lord,” I curtsy. “Good morning my love,” he smiles. We walk hand in hand down the main path. What wonders we shall see!

    Deuteronomy 33:27 “The eternal God is a dwelling place, And underneath are the everlasting arms; And he drove out the enemy from before you, And said: ‘Destroy!’

  • Do less, trust God More!

    Do less, trust God More!

    I enter the Center of My Garden with a smile, clothed in white with my robe of humility. I look down and my feet are peaking out of my gown. I walk bare foot on the grass and as I dunk under the hanging foliage, I see Him there, waiting, beautiful and magnificent, regal! “Lord you are beautiful and I love you!” “We have work to do beloved, are you done trying to avoid it and your own timing?” “Yes Lord I am!” “Good let us get to work and enjoy the day, remember I am leading you!” “Yes Lord.” As I type this out I am grateful for the reminder of the instructions for this day and that he is leading.

    John 6:47 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.

    Sometimes it is just to do the next right thing. Why does this feel so hard today? I guess I need to learn to have even better boundaries. It is hard to change things from the inside and continue to be steady in who I am and becoming. It is admitting enmeshment and codependency. It is being patient with others, but also oneself. It is seeing some progress in others but not jumping back to complete trust and trusting God is working in me and for me. I can pray for others but I cant rescue them at all. I have time now to set myself to do and be who God needs me to be and I am letting go of the bitterness that this process brings. Do less, trust God more and be diligent to do as he leads! I can do this and do it His way! As the healing progresses, some of the permissible ways of coping are being left behind, this is bitter at first, but I will not stay stuck. I need to have some more personal discipline and so today I am. It is not blaming another, taking responsibility for my own life. It is a smile knowing that life is better today!

  • Hope because of Him!

    Hope because of Him!

    “Good morning Lord, I love you!” “Good morning.” “What would you share with me today Lord?” “There is a continual growth, pruning, planting, and uprooting, in this season. Are you ready for it?” “Yes lord, let’s continue the work!” And we begin right away.

    1 Peter 5:2 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly;

    I can tell you there has been a lot of pruning and growth today. So much change that must take place. I am grateful for the constant guiding of the work the Master Gardener is overseeing in my garden. There is hope because of Him!!! When looking back at the question he asked me this morning, I am thinking, I was not ready, but I was, I knew I couldn’t tackle it alone and I never really know what will happen, but it is always grand and he finishes what he begins.

  • Butterflies of Light!

    Butterflies of Light!

    7/27/26 “Good morning Lord the garden is beautiful.” “Yes and it will be a very productive day. Shall we get started?” “Yes, let’s.”

    7/28/26 “Good morning Lord. What a beautiful day. The birds are chirping and the garden is so lovely. Lord, I expect a miracle!” Joy fills his countenance, “Yes Krista, it is yours!” And he blows a kiss that breathes love, strength, and life into me! Butterflies of light flew out of that kiss too! He is wonderous! “I love life with you Jesus, thank you!” “There is work to do.” And we set about it in the Center of My Garden.

    It is ok to just begin and take one step at a time. You are not alone! When coming awake or out of a narcissistic system or relationship it can take some work and time. It is good work, however, and very much worth it! It is important to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal what spirits are or have been in operation. Yes this is important with those who are used against us, but if you grew up in it or have been in it for sometime, there is healing, deliverance, and new ways to live life for you. The abusers or their minions can be forgiven, prayed for and an agape type of love can be offered and it is a good idea to not look for or to change any of them. There must be better boundaries and the ceasing of rescuing them, I am working on these! I found in my situation two key spirits in operation Jezebel and Absalom, followed by python and leviathan. Today I dealt with any pride or very low self esteem that might still be in me, thinking of rejecting the spirit of leviathan. The goal is to keep us trapped or re-trap us, so repenting and forsaking the spiritual darkness and false ideas and ways we had learned is key. Also, though victimhood is a reality at first, I found I had to begin to take authority, Jesus’ authority over these things operating around me. We don’t want to control anyone else, guiding and disciplining young children aside, because Jezebel is a controller. We simply can not have anything in common with the enemy to be free. Jezebel is also very religious. I found applying the blood of Jesus to myself and taking communion is necessary too. Part of the pain is when you realize how hard you have sincerely worked to love and find out it was not reciprocated and worse, a whole lot of time and energy went into deceiving you. People must be forgiven, but not the enemy! Forgiveness doesn’t equal trust!!! There is justice and others can decide if they want to come out of the system, God must be their guide! Also, there is not much else as painful and unhelpful as teaching a deceiver how to recognize and do a better job of deceiving, so I would let God work, I have to say I had painful lessons in doing the wrong thing in this, but there is grace and we don’t start off knowing always how and who is being used!
