It is early. Terry was not sleeping well and woke me at three....so now it is almost four thirty and he is snoring away and I am wide awake. Figure it was a good time to blog. He worked physically too hard yesterday moving heavy refrigeration equipment at his dad's house. I am concerned he has hurt himself. The house is under contract and we have but 11 days to finish cleaning out the remainder of the garage. Our second concern is his dad working over there too much as well. I believe Terry is way over tired.

This is a buffalo pull with oils. Painted from pictures I took this summer. Painted with the same patterns of pulling the paint and finding what flows from the set up. Somehow that seems to be life as well...so much happening and pulling around us and since we have such little control, we have to make life out of what is around us. There are seasons in my painting just as there are seasons in our lives. Most children cannot stand to lose the freedom of summer and no school and less responsibilities. Fall comes around and school starts back up and their lives change...rigid control, bedtimes, homework etc. As adults we are no different. When a season change comes we do not want to change.

The seasons in our own lives are so hard to evolve through at times. We have finally adjusted to the last change of seasons and another one rolls around. We feel unable to cope as we struggle with the environment around us trying to figure out how to dress and what the weather will be for the day. I am amazed how even I look at my self in the mirror and wonder why I can't be the same weight I was when I was 18 or even 25. Seasons change, my body has changed. The freedom from stress is to stop and look at where we are in life today, not yesterday. It doesn't mean we have to act older and ready for that pine box my mother keeps talking about, but we must be able to accept our bodies aging and changes that occur with those loved ones around us. As the paint flows onto my canvas in pulls of colors gently blending, I know not what I will see or form in the paint. I must allow the Holy Spirit with in to guide my hands as I am blind to what is truly before me in the paint until in time it is revealed to me. God has provided what we need for this season in our life. Sometimes we cannot see it because we are tripping over it trying to get to something we should not be doing.

Shalom,
Laurie

As per normal, I write my thoughts led by my prayers each day and then I will go to Dailyword.com to pick up a verse to list...I am totally amazed at their message today. If you have time click over to www.dailyword.com and read today's message... I will paste only the last line and the bible verse...go read the whole thing!


"I move forward with wisdom and clarity. Led to see the whole picture, I understand how important each part is to the whole. With assurance and confidence, I make right decisions on my path of discovery and inspire others on their own chosen paths.
“The human spirit is the lamp of the Lord, searching every innermost part.”—Proverbs 20:27"

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...

The Marsh... of our lives? Walking with God.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting.  Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."  One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works.  The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 .  Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the ...
