Beulah Acres …and the Lord God planted a garden.

Shabbat Shalom!

LeAnn had brought up this song, “Angels Fall Down,” several times recently, and after listening to it this week I felt it resonated with the reading we just completed in Revelation. I wanted to illustrate it with a garden video, so I combined old and new footage into this video for all of you to enter in to. Please read the following verse, and imagine all of creation entering in to this level of worship.

⁹ After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,¹⁰ and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” ¹¹ All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, ¹² saying:

Revelation 7:9-11 NKJV

“Angels Fall Down” is on the Go Up Again Album, available on the webstore.

In this time of emerging from Passover to Pentecost, we can go back and look at the Words that God has spoken to us over the years and see where He has brought us from, and where He is bringing us to. The prophetic revelation brought forth at Starting the Year off Right in 2008 during the spontaneous worship song “Heart of Momentum” is such a now word. Listen to the words and enter in to a place of stillness with this video of the garden, and hear what the Lord is speaking to you. As we find our rest and place of stillness, we gain strategy and momentum!

Heart of Momentum is on our Freed to Enter the Glory Realm CD, available on the webstore.

Hello all!

Yesterday I went out early in the garden to take photos, and looking back at them the Lord began speaking to me about light. As a photographer, I work in many different lighting situations, and I can 100% say that natural lighting is the best lighting. When you try to light a scene with artificial light, you end up with a flat picture with no dimension, or a picture with extremely harsh, unnatural and ugly shadows. The same can be said in our lives; if we try to paint our own picture, or let the devil cast artificial light on us instead of letting God reveal who we are by His Word and light and glory, we end up with either a two-dimensional understanding of ourselves, or walking with an inaccurate and often critical and harsh picture of who we are. When we let God paint our picture with His perfect glory and light, we walk in our truest, most authentic and beautiful selves, as He created us to be. Don’t let your flesh or the devil tell you who you are, let God reveal it to you! Read and hear His word and let His truth shine on and through you. The Word says that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, woven together in the womb by God Himself, and God makes no mistakes. Believe what He says, and you will always find peace with your identity!

Please enjoy these photos and have a blessed and wonderful Shabbat!

Shabbat shalom all!

I hope you all enjoyed your Passover celebration, and hopefully were able to join us or tune in this past weekend! I’ve collected quite a few photos from last week and this week, including some that Pam has taken on her morning and evening walks through the garden. There are also baby geese hanging out in the garden again! Pam and I were able to film them yesterday in the reflection garden, and I’ve included that video as well.

The dew on the roses from the rains last week was a precious thing to behold, and as I put together this post the Lord began speaking to me out of Exodus and Lamentation 3 –

²² How enduring is God’s loyal love;
    the Eternal has inexhaustible compassion.
²³ Here they are, every morning, new!
    Your faithfulness, God, is as broad as the day.
²⁴ Have courage, for the Eternal is all that I will need.
    My soul boasts, “Hope in God; just wait.”

Exodus 16 is where the Lord provided the Israelites with fresh manna, left behind by the morning dew. The Lord likened the manna to His grace and mercy as I meditated on it; His grace and mercy comes fresh and new with each new day, just like the morning dew. There is always enough for us to strengthen ourselves for the rest of the day, and we are refreshed every morning! Pam has always said to me, “everything always looks brighter in the morning,” and how true it is. As the day goes on, our flesh and worldly things can wear on us and cause us to wilt a little by the end of the day, but thank God that we can lie down in peace at night, and awaken to fresh grace and mercy in the morning!

Thank the Lord that we are never without the grace and mercy and provision that we need to thrive each day. We need only see the signs and wonders in nature for an illustration of His character and love for us!

Please enjoy these photos and video, and have a wonderful and blessed shabbat!

Shabbat Shalom all!

The garden is stunning as always and I was completely captivated by the dozens and dozens of roses blooming right now. The aroma is so sweet and makes you want to lie down right there in the garden and take a nap. One day they’ll invent a contraption that allows you to post “smell” on the internet, but until then here are these photos for you to enjoy and imagine the smell of roses filling the air. There are many other photos as well, including the newly renovated reflection garden behind Pam’s potting shed, as well as the final coat of stain on the new pavilion. I so hope you all can join us on site for Passover and experience the garden for yourselves!!

Blessings to all of you,

Tracey

Hello all!

There’s a lot going on in the garden, specifically the continued work on the pavilion and “recalibrating” the vineyard. I’m sharing some photos of the progress with you here, as well as some other shots of the garden, including a sweet moment with Pam and her precious grandson Jacob. Thank the Lord that spring is here, and that the Lord is recalibrating your foundations in order for you to produce new fruit!

Blessings!

Hello all!

Spring is in full swing in the garden, and if you tuned in with us on the web this weekend you heard Chuck talk about leaping forward in to spring and divine recovery! The garden is so stunning and I wish all of you could be here to walk through it in person. It is so full of life and it brings peace and joy to the soul. I took more photos this morning and couldn’t wait to share them with you, so here you are! Enjoy!

Blessings

Shabbat Shalom!

I spent some time in the garden yesterday evening and loved the new chimes they’ve hung up on the threshing floor. The music carried throughout the garden and it was just beautiful to hear with the birds chirping and the sound of the water features. I’ve put together a video with the sound of the chimes so hopefully you can experience the same thing I did. I’ve also included some new photos as well. I hope you enjoy, and have a wonderful and blessed Shabbat and weekend!

Blessings,

Tracey

Shabbat Shalom All!

The first signs of Spring are appearing in the garden, (a bit earlier than you might expect!) and it’s absolutely beautiful! Here are some new photos that I took on my walk through the garden this morning. It was beautiful weather – sunshine and 55ish degrees – and I felt so blessed to see the first signs of new life springing up. Please enjoy the photos and be blessed this week as we receive a glimpse of the new season that is on the way!

Blessings,

Tracey

Shabbat Shalom, All!

I hope you all are well, and overflowing with the love and joy of God! I have a sweet little Shabbat video for you to enjoy, set to a portion of ‘Here We Are’ from our new Unlocking Triumph CD (which I encourage all of you to get!). There are also a few pictures of the peach tree and the pavilion progress (which is coming along beautifully!). We are enjoying the scattered bouts of warm weather here in Texas, and enduring the cold when it comes. I think the garden must be confused with all of the back and forth! The peach tree is blooming which is abnormally early, but still beautiful! Pray for its’ endurance as we finish out the winter season. I pray all of you have a blessed Shabbat and restful weekend!

Much love,

Tracey
