  • 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!

  • You Will Have to Decide!

    You Will Have to Decide!

    I look down and all I see is our arms and hands folded over one another’s. I look up and over and there is my love. “I love you!!” And we sit and drink of love. He has no need of speaking, for I am bathed in his love!”

    You will have to decide Krista, either I am enough, and more than, or I am not.” “I have heard and seen and know what I have asked and am asking.” What do you say today my love?” “Lord today I smile and say, you have been enough. Forgive me, I listened to lies and others telling me it was impossible, but I repent. I resign up for the road ahead! You are more than enough! There is a dying to self and others ideas, that I am doing today in a greater way. I know that you have not given me more than I can handle, but without you it is impossible. Carry on with me, and in greater ways. I set the sorrow aside and I look to you for the rewards of fulfilling your purposes. Thank you for making me to serve you!!!”

  • I will Certainly Follow You!

    I will Certainly Follow You!

    “Lord lead me today. I yield. Help me not to be busy or cause those around me to be busy with things that keep us from obedience.”

    “Lord I have picked some flowers for you this morning! Fruits of our labor!” I hand them to him and he smiles. “Thank you Krista.” I return the smile. “Lord, I love you. I am ready for the work you have for us today. I receive your instructions, your will.”

    “I let go of the plans for my life and families today. I let go of controlling or knowing anymore than you want to give me Lord. I will continue to keep my eyes on you and I will certainly follow you!

    “Is it enough and ok Lord, if all I have to offer today is surrender and my yes?” “Yes, Krista, this is all I need today!”
