Writer's Notebook

Do you enjoy writing or reading poetry?  Most of the posts on Big Sky Buckeye are filled with poetry, but I also share short stories, photography, and a few surprises along the way.  You are invited to sit a spell and find something you like.  I enjoy sharing my curiosity through my writing.  You are welcome to like, comment, follow, share, or reblog a post.

Featured Post

Today’s Christian poem opens an avenue into a Gospel-filled journey.  Thank you for stopping by, and you are encouraged to read more from Spirit Stirs Within.

My writing is supplemented by maintaining an active journal, which gathers thoughts from my Bible reading as well as sampling other bloggers’ posts.  Daily entries found in From My Journal contain reflections about faith, life, and community for May 13.

You are invited to read a quote, updated on May 13 which features inspiration from the words of American Christian evangelist Billy Graham.  His thoughts share an inspirational message about a believer’s relationship with God.

Here’s my Baker’s Dozen, featuring 13 of my recent writings from the past couple of weeks.  Each post is linked to take you right to its location.  Other poems, short stories, and feature writings can be found in the archives (found at the top of the page), which will be updated frequently with past selections.  Enjoy!

Hope’s Embrace

From the words of English preacher, Charles Spurgeon: “God alone can give us songs in the night.”

Landscape’s light seems distant
Worry consumes another heart
Faith’s tattered fabric breathes
Darkness tears life apart

Light’s breath offers mercy
Truth transcends throughout Father’s Word
With each hour, called to trust
Holy Spirit now stirred

Heavens’ cascading light
Thoughts nurtured, turning to prayer
Blessed psalms heard at night
Evidence Father cares

Love shaped by Savior’s light
His promises shall overcome
Valley’s shadow of death
Broken in smallest crumbs

Light’s expansive nature
Abundantly flowing with grace
Blindness lifted away
Faith swells from hope’s embrace

From Mark 5:35-36: “While he was still speaking, some people came from the synagogue leader’s house to say, ‘Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the teacher any further?’ But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the synagogue leader, ‘Do not be afraid; only believe.'”

God’s grace sees beyond our deepest need. He meets us where we are, talking straight to us in terms that even we can understand.

From 2 Corinthians 5:17-18:  “So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; look, new things have come into being! All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.”

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Time’s Destiny

Time’s precious moments

Ceaseless in its flow

Like any river

Searching green meadows

 

Time’s grace spreading out

Meaningful intent

With gentle purpose

Marking life’s ascent

 

Time’s daily framework

Structured by mankind

Silent trace of peace

Running to unwind

 

Time’s welcome spirit

Tomorrow designed

Minutes fill each plan

Guiding daily grind

 

Time’s destiny breathes

Lifetime filled with joy

Patient, calming voice

Sculpting man from boy

Man may have the power of reason by his side, but it’s the animals that are still in touch with nature.

Do your best, and leave the rest, “Twill all come right some day or night.”

Anna Sewell (1820-1878) was an English novelist.  She has been best known for her single published work, Black Beauty.

Gentle morning rain

Freshening landscape’s spirit—

Reverent stillness

Harmony

Gentle morning breeze

Rejuvenation’s spirit—

Everlasting peace

 

Replenishment

 Gentle morning light

Infusing nature’s spirit—

Outlook’s warm design

Embarking on faith’s journey

Peace nourished through God’s light

Provisions provided

Holy Spirit in flight

 

Marking life’s daily pathway

Hope’s goodness raised in Christ

Darkness buried by light

Through body sacrificed

 

Embracing Christ’s instructions

Scripture inspired by God

Righteousness fills each heart

Outlook no longer flawed

 

Leaving us in Spirit’s hands

Christ prepares Heaven’s home

Power received through grace

Peace restored, freedom roams

 

Welcoming presence of Christ

Truth rising at sunrise

Nourished through faithfulness

Redemption’s final prize
