I have five minutes. FIVE minutes to do this blog and hit the easel. Charlene sent me an article about NOT GETTING THINGS DONE... that was me again yesterday. It is the constant life interruptions that get me off track, from paying bills, to answering phones, to trying to get phone service with ATT and dump Time Warner. I have always said "If people would just do their jobs..." because after I spent 45 min on Monday lining up service on ATT, I had to redo it yesterday again because someone didn't finish the order. BUT the good side - bad side was, we cannot keep our phone number we just got and trying to learn another new number doesn't sit well with either Terry or I. We were able to get his dad's old number that he had for 50 years...so we both know the number. By March 26th I will be officially ATT. Good riddance to TWC and their total inability to stay focused and provide utility service. I have wasted close to 60 hours messing with them in the past three months.

I think my best share today is when you feel unraveled, stop and take one of those meditating moments and breathe. Allow the Lord to bring peace back into your being and then pick back up with a positive attitude knowing He is in charge and you gave up control for the day. I will be on my knees in a moment before I start painting today.

In His Love,

Laurie

"They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works." Psalm 145:5

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 ...
