~ In The Garden ~

There is something so compelling and thrilling about being in God's created world. Alone, in His wonderful garden ... that is where I hear His voice and feel His touch so strongly!

What a privilege and joy there is to be found while I am held securely beneath the heavens standing, walking, working or seated upon the earth and amidst all the scents, textures, sights and sounds God provides!

All of my time spent in the space given me to tend ahere on earth the best I can is precious time for me as I think back to a most amazing and miraculous event which took place and was recorded over 2000 years ago. I can never fully take it in yet I know it is a tiny sample of the awesomeness which must have been Mary's experience when first encountering her 'Rabboni' and now our risen Saviour, in the Garden of Gethsemane!

"Yeshua says to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” 
Thinking He’s the gardener, she says to Him, “Sir, if You’ve carried Him away, tell me where You’ve put Him, and I will take Him away.” 
Yeshua says to her, “Miriam!”

Turning around, she says to Him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher).

Yeshua says to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet gone up to the Father. Go to My brothers and tell them, ‘I am going up to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”

Miriam from Magdala comes, announcing to the disciples, “I’ve seen the Lord,” and what He had said to her." John 20:15-18 TLV

I pray as you listen to my Accapella rendition of this beautiful old hymn that you too will experience the compelling wonder & power of His presence afresh today!

~ Firmly Rooted In His Love ~

Greetings on this 4th of May, 2022 my friends!

I hope you will agree that God is still and always working miracles!

Five years ago today, this green heart I have pictured below, simply appeared on the front lawn at my home in Belleville, Ontario. That's right! I did not plant it, it simply appeared!

I had been fervently praying for some time for a much-needed breakthrough and that afternoon as I was looking out my front living room window I turned my head slightly to the right and there it was. A rather large, beautiful heart, growing as green as could be! My friends, it was as real as the air we breathe!!

After I got over my initial shock, had captured a few photos ad finally sat down again, I asked God the reason for the heart for I knew I had not 'grown' it! His answer, whispered clearly into my mind through His Spirit, were the most comforting words, words I desperately needed to hear. He whispered, "I love you, Rose Naomi, I am with you always and this is My sign of the love and calling I have for you, forever, continue to listen and follow Me." What a wonderful balm of healing and strength His message was to my searching heart! What a time of rejoicing, thanksgiving and praise I gave Him for answered prayer and this miraculous show of His love for me!!!

My green heart of God's love and my Angel statue, September 9, 2017

Needless to say, I kept my 'green heart of love' growing and trimmed around all the rest of 2017 (the picture above is from September 9th) and right up to the day I left for my new home, in Nova Scotia the next year, on May 1st, 2018! Such a blessing it was to me, I dearly wanted to dig it up and bring it with me, but that wasn't possible, of course. :-) I am so happy that I have the pictures so I can look back upon them and 'see' His whispered Words of promise for my life then and my future as well!

Autumn - October 2017 Where would we be without His promise of love?

For me, without faith in the love of God for me, my life and living would be pointless. But by knowing and experiencing His love I have gained strength and hope and much like a muscle when exercised, I have become stronger! Darkness, oppression and stress have lifted as His power, strength, and love enabled me to carry on. These days, I find it easier to obediently walk the way He leads me, personally, each day. Sometimes, this is a moment-by-moment exercise but I remain firmly planted in the fertile soil of His everlasting Love, thankful and empowered by the Holy Spirit's presence, always with me, to guide and instruct me every moment of each day of my journey Homeward! Without that assurance (firm confidence) of God's love I know for a fact that I would not have come this far! Hallelujah!! His love has and will continue to change me/us, His children, and give us divine life - we are changed into 'new 'creations with purpose! Now that's true love!

This picture taken May 4, 2017, will always be a beautiful remembrance and confirmation for me (and you too) of the direction He will continually give us as we journey Homeward. Hallelujah!!!!

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8

As I leave you, for now, friends, I want to provide you with the YouTube link to a song that I was blessed by our Lord, to write which makes reference to the scripture above and the victories we have in His love!!!:
