This is a second in the series I did on Pop Art. Decided to continue posting a few of these pieces. It is another facet of my artwork!

Sunday is here and I am planning out my day. I was up awake with a headache at 3:30 this morning and spent the next hour and a half with squirrels running circles in my head! When you lay awake with your head pounding it is hard to go back to sleep and so darn inviting to solve the problems of the world. Was there a news flash about that yet? I spent time on every bothersome thing that popped in my mind and somehow with all that energy I HAD to solve something....but I do not think I did.

Worry was there on the parental front, the sibling front, the children front, the job front etc. Niki wrote on a reference for me that I have Time Management issues. Yeah, I need sleep. Time Management is a specialty for me. I am never late to work even here in my studio, paintings go out on time even if it takes me 25 hours in the 24 hour day; children get saved before they sink; food is always on the table; the house is always clean, my work is always done before I even take time to have bathroom break. I have time management issues to the fault of my health, but never the job. I do not think the school district I applied with will read it that way though, Time Management issues will be a red flag for NOT getting a teaching position. I had decided for retirement I needed to return to the classroom and get 10 more years of teaching in. It won't happen this year with this district once they flag my application with the red circle sticker...Time Management Issues.

With visions of RED CIRCLE stickers swirling in my mind, nothing was solved or resolved in my hours of debate this morning. Sibling rivalry continues with in my group of siblings; my children continue to encounter their bumps in the journey; money continues to be the root of all evil; possessions still clutter our lives; there are never enough hours in the day (Back to time management again): and in case anyone cares, I truly dislike Day Light Savings Time. If God wanted us to have more light at night He would have set the world up to provide it. Why does man continue to try and control and manipulate his world?

What I did resolve this morning was to know I have limited power and the rest is up to the Lord. My focus should be in prayer and listening for Him to lead the way. I think he can resolve all of the above except the Day Light Savings issue. Obviously He hasn't taken on our Congress yet, or the IRS.

At this moment take all the worries that are cluttering your life and give them to Him for the day. Promise yourself NOT to return to worry just today. Spend the day instead every time your brain wants to let in thoughts of problems to stop and tell yourself, "this is the Day that the Lord hath made for me, and all problems are taken care of by Him. I release my worry and control."

Grace,
Laurie

"If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them." Matthew 6:30-32

You're such a versatile artist, Laurie!

What's your methodology with pop art: how do you go about it?

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 ...
