Lesson in the Wind
Wind whistling with the
waltzing trees, lofty whispers:
eerie to perceive.
Trees swirl in rhythmic
flair as sound of the wind’s whirl
pierce the heart and air.
How the wind has such
temper to serenade us
with woeful banter.
During storms at night,
how I lay in silent fear waiting
to see morning light.
Wild shadows outside
my window unnerves me as
wind shrieks, howls, and blows.
Nothing to do in
the darkness but to be still
and quietly rest.
It’s my decision
to trust in the Lord’s plan and his
promised provision.
Or to lament and
fret instead as I cringe with
worry on my bed.
The fierce wind, though, is
a reminder of things in
life I can’t control;
need to trust in faith
to let Jesus lead the way
and gently let go.
Becky’s Haiku: Choice and Faith
Trust in the Lord or
let doubts rise and sway; faith is
a choice each new day.

Walk in Faith
Walk in the firmness of faith
And not in nagging doubt;
Walk in unwavering belief
That Jesus is Lord and King.
Walk in steadfast hope
Even while climbing a slippery slope
Of troubles and tribulations
Through this earthly life’s
Wilderness and desert lands.
Walk in trust and confidence
Knowing that all the Lord’s
Plans will ultimately prevail
And that his unfathomable
Ocean of love will never fail.
His never-ending love which can
Reach the furthest star and
Touch the bottom of the deepest sea.
And fill all the voids of earth and space;
The boundaries of his love,
No one can perceive.
Walk in sheer delight
Of God’s revealing light;
A beacon leading us the way
To the road he has prepared today.
Yes, walk in faith never doubting
That God of heaven is holy and supreme.
And that his son, Jesus is indeed
Lord, Savior and king
Who will reign for all
Eternity;
Walk in faith.
In a Whisper of Faith
In a whisper of faith, God calms the raging storms.
In a whisper of faith, God diffuses the troubles of life;
In a whisper of faith, God instills peace amidst the strife.
In a whisper…
In a whisper of faith, God shields me from the searing heat.
In a whisper of faith, God is in the wind sifting through the trees;
In a whisper of faith, God surrounds me in a cool, gentle breeze.
In a whisper…
In a whisper of faith, God protects me from the frigid, wintry cold.
In a whisper of faith, God wipes away my tears in the deep, dark night;
In a whisper of faith, God watches over me until the dawn of morning light.
In a whisper…
Happy NEW YEAR 2017
New dreams, opportunities, and possibilities
Every day dawn’s a new beginning
Willing to wait and live by God’s love, mercy, and grace.
Yesterday is gone but lessons and memories remain.
Each bright morning is a treasured gift; each starlit evening a cherished blessing
Already looking forward in solid and steadfast faith
Ready to continue this life journey on the path of hope and grace.
Becky’s Haiku: Shattered Dreams
When dreams are shattered
And broken, keep in firm faith
And dare to hope again.

Becky’s Tanaga: Science, Reason, and Faith
Universe of space and time
Science and logic define;
Yet those who live in true faith
See miracles through God’s grace.
Becky’s Freku: Though the Path be Dark Today
In the cloud-filled, dreariness of this day,
While the sunlight be dim along the way,
With Jesus I can still walk in faith
Though the path be dark today.
Although troubles brew and haunt my soul
And I feel empty and lacking a life purpose or goal,
With Jesus I can still walk by faith
Though the path be dark today.
As the rain drizzles outside
And in my house I just want to hide,
With Jesus I can still walk by faith
Though the path be dark today.
Even as I awake in clouds of doubt
Wondering what my life is really about,
With Jesus I can still walk by faith
Though the path be dark today.
As I gingerly step outside in fear
Wondering what new obstacles may appear,
With Jesus I can still walk by faith
Though the path be dark today.
Believing the sun will shine again
Evaporating the clouds and drizzling rain,
With Jesus I can still walk by faith
Though the path be dark today.
Choosing to trust that he is my light
Who helps me to see in the darkest night,
With Jesus I can still walk by faith
Though the path be dark today.
Yeah! With Jesus, I
still walk by faith though my path
is darkened today.
Return of the Black-eyed Susan
She had returned once again:
That Black-eyed Susan, my friend.
Resting in the tall, wild grass;
Lemon beauty lass.
Every summer
I watch for her; her simple
Beauty I treasure.
In the grass along
The road; she blooms also in
A hidden meadow.
Each year I search til
I see her golden face so
Familiar to me.
Something about this
Flower causes me to pause,
Think and to ponder.
I find her every
Year like a friend who stays
Close by; so near.
Through the years, life will
Progress to eternity.
And it is by faith
That I learn to be quiet
And patiently wait.
She then reminds me
That although it can
Be hard to see I must choose
To live peacefully.
Choosing peacefulness
And quietness is hard when
I want to be heard.
But most soothingly
I’m reminded that God hears
My prayers; my every word.
So every year I
Seek her face to remember
God’s true saving grace.
And through love shown by
Him I can live each day in
Peace hidden within.
Isaiah 54: 10 (Holy Bible New International Version):
“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord who has compassion on you.
