"On the day I called, you answered me, you increased my strength of soul." Psalm 138:3

Through out our daily life, we encounter trials and stresses that begin to drain us of both patience and peace. It is at that moment we need to train ourselves to stop... STOP. Begin to breathe and count and as you do you allow the strength of the Spirit to fill your body with loads of new oxygen. This improves you physically, emotionally and mentally as you face what is there.

I can only begin to scratch the fullness of what Jesus faced... I would be terrified to the point of fainting or having a heart attack I am sure. His Father gave him the strength of soul to carry that cross and finish what was left for Him to do. Today affirm God within the strength of Spirit that is yours, no different than what was there for Jesus. Our small trivial trials are nothing in comparison, but our Father promises to walk with us through all of it.

Remember to call upon this inner power of Spirit whenever you need it. Breathe....slowly... and count.

Yesterday Stacey was over. She had a doctors appt and OMA got to babysit. What fun! Lauren is becoming a true little person with smiles and eyebrow raising... so adorable. Mom aka MEMA came by twice today to hold her and love on her. Uncle Kirk, my youngest brother stopped by as well. Other than that it was Terry and I leaving finger prints all over her...with kiss prints too!
Her Daddy will give her a good bath tonight and all traces will be gone.


SLIDE SHOW OF LAUREN'S VISIT YESTERDAY!



Remember to Count....

“The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” Hebrews 1:3

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

EXHAUSTED Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
