Okay so I forgot yesterday. A lot going on! MORGAN did get a full time sub position with Nothwest ISD as a special Ed teacher at Nance Elementary. Your prayers were of such great support to him! Thank you! It is not official yet, but I think he starts Monday. They did not offer a "Contract" as in Full Time Teacher because we are passed the half way mark in the school year. This way the district does not have to pay benefits. Will keep you posted on progress.

This is a quick entry this early early morning. I could not sleep due to shoulder pain and am up in my jamas to paint awhile. Terry is sound asleep where I should be, but my rolling around was keeping him awake.

I have been unpacking his stuff now. Probably why my shoulder and neck hurt. I shake my head in disbelief at the accumulation of plastic model kits that are in this house. Remember they are in cardboard boxes. BUGS like cardboard boxes. This may lead to further discussion at a later date. I will give him time to see what he will do with the thousands I am unpacking. I did a big no- no yesterday. I unpacked some of the finished models and put them in the beautiful glass case I bought for displaying them. The light was on and after several hours, one of the models melted and was disfigured. he was not too upset, but I was frantic with guilt. I was trying to make him feel nested.

I long to get back to simplicity. I vowed as I carted boxes out for big trash pick up that I would fill the curb monthly of STUFF that was not needed. Simplicity meant unpacking and setting up a household in two days. Guys, this has been TWO MONTHS. I really do not like living like this. Simplicity is best. I will continue to week through my own personal stuff and hope eventually he will see the light and do the same!

Grace,
Laurie

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 ...
