  • 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.

  • Let go Now!

    Let go Now!

    “I will enter your gates with thanksgiving in my heart. I will enter your courts with praise…”, I enter with a song and gladness of heart. “Good morning my love.” “What are we about today Lord?” “There is pruning to do and a little sowing too. Let go now of what you expected and I am leading you!” “Yes Lord!” And we get to work!

    Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

    Today I had to let go further of what wasn’t working in my vertical garden. The good news is what I recently planted is working. So I let go what needed more sun and I am trying something I planted before in one pocket and a container. I also planted more of what is working. I just had to let go further. It is okay and I am pleased. It may have taken 3 rounds of planting, but I feel like it is good for my area and circumstances. I had not ever had the pleasure of growing where I live and it is shade so I have had much to learn and I am. Being patient with myself, but constant is also needed in my life. Good life lessons!

  • 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.

  • Pruning Time!

    Pruning Time!

    It is a day for pruning the trees in my garden. I am up bright and early looking around for branches that can be pruned to produce more fruit, branches that are diseased and branches that may be not producing any fruit or are dead. I think I will wait for the head gardener to get here and lead the way. I have pruned before, but this time is extra important and needs to be done in wisdom and with intentionality.
