I am sitting in the dark. Now the lights in my studio are only working 50%. The entire desk area and where I paint is dark. The day has not started out on the best foot at all. I cannot do anything anywhere else in the house unless I carry a flashlight. Are there ANY electricians reading this blog? Terry's desk is lit up but I do not want to be on the PC today and none of my stuff is on it. Everything in this house is worn out. I am not far behind now. I have maintained hope with lights in this room where I need to work, but I guess I will finish this blog and go sit in the dark until the sun comes up. I would like to see my husband do his job in the dark.

On the brighter side I did go visit my mom yesterday afternoon. She was dressed and with makeup and looking very pretty. We are praying her strength returns soon as she is still very tired and moving slowly. The pink in her face and the twinkle in her eye are a song in my heart. I give praise and thanksgiving to the Lord for her healing.

Moving slowly in life is perhaps a reminder of the tortoise and the hare story we all heard when we were younger. Steady is the course, and steady in your faith in the Lord and His knowledge of your unknown future. As a child, a young child, you never gave thought to the future. You were focused on the moment and your immediate needs. How can we be more child-like? Give your worry about the future to the Lord as I must turn and give him my darkness issue and pray he will provide someone to bring light back into my home. It is four weeks now we have lived like this. I remain patient and will work daylight hours in faith.

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 ...
