TINK
Child Portrait in Oil by Laurie Justus Pace

9 x 12 inches

Contact me for Commission Work: Laurie




It is not quite done, but close enough to post. She is out of my thoughts in anticipation of the upcoming grandchild. Hence she comes armed with crayons. Her name is Tink right now, but we truly do not know the sex of the baby coming. I may have to think boy next time. We have been calling the baby TINK so we have a name for praying about and talking to. Tink is short for TINKERBELL if it is a girl, and sTinker if it is a boy. We will have to wait on the Lord to reveal what this tiny one is!

Waiting is not always the easiest thing in the world. Can you name anyone you know that is NOT waiting for something to happen in their lives? OR can you name anyone that LIKES to wait on something? I guess this too is part of our trait as a human.

Whether it be waiting on traffic to clear so you can arrive at a destination on time, or waiting for your child to hurry out of school to be picked up, or waiting for the doctor's office to call with test results....seems like we are always waiting.

Waiting for something.

Impatience usually flares its ugly head during the process; and with me, a lot of deep sighing and resignation as my thoughts fly as to "WHY?" Many folks feel isolated and alone waiting often in fear that an outcome will not be positive. Some of us loose many days of worry while we wait, spinning what if thoughts about in our head. It really does not help does it?

I can only assure you today, and expect you to assure me back, that we are never alone during our "waits". God is always there. His love is perfect love and His peace is there for us to partake in 24 hours a day. What ever is to be that you are waiting on, will take place in due time. Meanwhile, know you are not alone as you wait. During this time glorify Him as He works for you. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. And from my favorite verse, " Those who hope in the Lord, will renew their strength,; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint" paraphrased from Isaiah 40.

What ever you are waiting on, know you are not alone today or any day. Turn around, open your arms to Him. Rest in the Lord while you wait.

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 ...
