In a time when things are changing and there aren’t many answers, I found my first flower that produced in my vertical garden. I had had to plant late after the first crops I planted couldn’t get enough sun. I was hoping the weather would stay conducive to cause my impatiens to flower. Today the flower was fully open and gorgeous. One flower is worth the celebration and brings hope and joy! Somethings take time and may not produce or progress on our timelines, but there is hope and our efforts are not in vain. How much more is God doing for us behind the scenes. It is worth celebrating His goodness and the little we know and can see. His presence is with us and he still has the same plans for us Jeremiah 29:11-13: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you seek for Me with all your heart. If you keep reading there is more good. If one flower can bring such joy, just think of the joy Jesus has with the fruit in our lives. He looks and rejoices in what He is doing in and through us. I rejoice with Him over you today friend! I pray you would let his joy wash over you!

“Good morning Smiles!
8/29/26 “Good morning Lord!” I got robbed up and set off running to meet with him. “Good morning Smiles! We have rest to enter and a bit of work too.” He smiles back at me, “Shall we begin?” “Oh yes please!” He takes my hand and we begin to dance!
John 11:25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.

A treat and Celebration!
8/28/26 This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it! Hallelujah! This is what came up in my spirit a I set to enter the Center of My Garden. The Holy Spirit prepares me and gives me a treat to bring.
“Good morning my love!” He smiles and says : “Good morning,” he pulls me in and we stay close a while. “My husband, my friend, the Holy Spirit has given me a big slice of cake for us to enjoy and he will hopefully come enjoy part of it with us later. The cake is white, three layers, with strawberries and cream as a filling. What a treat and celebration! “Lord I just want to be with you a while. I want to hear your voice, be corrected, and lead. Will you guide me today? Also continue to provide for me and I ask you for wisdom Lord, for all areas of my life. I I desire to please you and be a great steward.” He pulls my chin gently up to look at him. “Pray. I am still guiding and providing. Be of good courage and I will strengthen your heart.” “Yes Lord, yes. Holy Spirit help me in this service to the Lord!”
1Peter 5:7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Fully Yours!
8/27/26 As I set to encounter and write I am reminded of the horse and the rider- he has thrown into the sea! Amen!
The Holy Spirit helps me on with my robe of humility and a bag of peaches to bring the King! Oh I am excited. “Thank you Holy Spirit, I love you! Will you come after a while and enjoy the peaches with us?” “Yes,” he smiles.
“Good morning Lord!” I run to meet him and we embrace. I have thrown myself wholly into his arms. “You know Lord I am fully yours now and I am looking to you for everything.” “I know he knows, I just needed to acknowledge it. “I will always care for you and it will be a grand adventure. So get ready and let us get to work today.” “Yes Lord, oh and the Holy Spirit has supplied us with a bag of juicy sweet summer peaches!” He laughs and smiles and we set them aside for latter.
This day had another surprize for me, but it is not time to talk about it. I hope you encounter the Love that the Master Gardener has for you and your garden. There really is nothing like Him and it!!!
Proverbs 2:3,4 Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures.

Refreshment and Joy!
8/26/26 “Good morning Lord.” “Good morning.” There is a gentle breeze blowing in the Center of My Garden. It is for refreshment and joy. “Lord this breeze is wonderful.” “Yes, stay in it a while with me and get recharged!” “Yes sir!” “Thank you for the growth, maturity, and care. I yield more fully to you today!” He smiles and takes me by the hand.
James 2:1 My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality.
I tell you I am receiving this and living the refreshing breeze again and it is so needed! I am taking time to let it in!

Into the Sea!
8/25/26 I was setting to enter the Center of My Garden and I kept being distracted. Then I heard a knock and the scripture… So I quickly went to the garden door and opened to my husband, My Lord. “Good morning my King!” He smiles, “Good morning my love!” “I love you, I long for you.” “Let us walk and talk.” “Yes Lord.” I sing: “My beloved is the most beautiful…”
I have asked a different question this morning, twice. And each time I asked these questions in the quiet moments I keep hearing the song: “the Horse and the rider he has thrown in the sea”. Of course it is speaking of how God delivered Israel from the very formidable army that had cornered them and was pursuing to annihilate them. The army, however moved into the Lord’s trap and their chariot wheels can still be seen under that water. It is also speaking of the enemies I have faced, and so I take it by faith today!
Exodus 15:19 For the horse of Pharoah went with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them. But the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
Today as I type this out I see that I have been being shown the trap laid out for my enemy. He told me the outcome. So I can see what is going on more clearly and I have decided to rejoice tonight. For I have the Victory!!!

Need for Obedience!
8/24/26 “Good morning Lord,” I enter the Center of My Garden with white garments and a crown upon my head. “My King,” I bow. He is well pleased with me! “Good morning my wife!” He has a big smile and an even bigger heart for me! He is mine and I am his!
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit
Today I am very aware of the need for obedience in the midst of change. I have decided to take the instructions given me today and obey! I have simply made the choice and am laying down my will for today and this time! There is a peace in this!

Redirected!
8/23/26 “Good morning Lord, I love you,” I smile. He is sitting and takes my hand. He pulls me in and holds me. “Good morning my love. You are being strengthened and redirected, follow me!” “Oh yes Lord!”
How I needed this reminder today as I type! Really this is what I need today!
I Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced their themselves through with many sorrows.

The day Begins!
8/22/26 The Holy Spirit is preparing me to enter the Center of My Garden. He has helped me on with my robe of humility and I asked him what I might bring the Master Gardener. “Good morning Lord!” “Good morning Krista,” he welcomes me with a smile. “I have brought a gift, the Holy Spirit and I decided on a cake with whipped cream. Let’s sit for some refreshment, I will have coffee with mine. It is a strawberry apple cake sweetened with honey, Lord!” “Let us make our way to the table and enjoy!” I say, “Holy Spirit let us all sit and enjoy one another and these refreshments.” We sit and one has a glass of lemonade and the other mint tea. The cake is delicious. This fellowship is sweeter than any of it! We talk of plans over the garden. And the day begins.
Psalm 126:1 When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion , We were like those who dream.

Get Back!
8/21/26 “Good morning Lord,” I smile. The Holy Spirit has equipped me with white tulips to bring to you!” I hand them to him. “Good morning,” he takes my face and lifts it to himself and breathes into and over me. I receive it. I need it! “You are beautiful to me my love.” “Thank you my husband.” “I receive you, my love and your gift!” How good it is to hear this from him. “You need to rest a while today, then we can work!” “Yes Lord!” And I set myself to rest, for there has been much labour through the night and well into this morning.
Psalm 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the House, They labour in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.
I was hearing get back to where you once belonged, the song. I realize that I am being ushered back to a place in Him!
