This first week in May has been a time of planning and preparation in the Twelve Tribes of Israel Prayer Garden. The welcome rain gave all the garden crew an opportunity to rest their planting muscles before starting on the next phase. This has been a week for walking through the garden, getting a feel for the rest of the tribes, marking new pathways and bedding areas, and making choices about permanent features in the landscape. In the days and weeks ahead, several things will change in the garden:
- A threshing floor arbor will be built in the tribe of Ephraim
- A bridge will be built connecting Asher to the rest of the garden
- Stone steps and a retaining wall will be installed in the tribe of Reuben
- A water feature will be added to the tribe of Manasseh
- And so much more!
And, of course, there will be lots of new trees, shrubs, and flowers planted throughout the garden!
Even now, with just a fraction of the garden completed, the Spirit of the Father is so strong! Of course, from the very beginning of this adventure, God’s people have walked and prayed over and through every part of this place. It is truly a sanctified piece of earth, and I am blessed to be a part of it. I can’t begin to express my thanksgiving to all those who have sowed into this garden with time, money, plants and prayers. And even if you can’t be here to experience the garden in person, I will continue to post pictures so you can enjoy what God is doing in Corinth, Texas.
Shabbat Shalom.
