"He has done everything well!" Mark 7:34


Why do Wednesday's always seem so crunched? It used to be just a work day, but then I added music students and that means lesson prep on Wednesday. Toss in regular unpredictable stuff and I get into a tizzy on Wednesdays as I feel that I fall behind before I even start my work week.
Today is finishing up mailing out packages, wrapping and boxing several by myself. UGH. Painting a commission that HAS to be done today...no pressure, going with mom to her hair appt as she is still in a sling thing for three more weeks, no driving yet, making sure there is dinner for TP and I and of course that daily thing of wash and cleaning up just a bit. Add the hour of music prep and an hour and a half of lessons, oh and don't forget walking and some exercise for my won health....it will be late tonight before I hit the bed.

Are you tired just trying to figure it all out? I am.

Today is the day I need to believe in perfect peace. If I keep the Lord in the front of my thoughts today...perfect peace; nothing can creep in with negativity despite the huge mountain I have to climb. STAY FOCUSED on HIM. That control issue is such a human factor that is a constant. We wrestle for control from others in our life and most definitely from Him. If you choose to go your conflicting ways today, you will suffer the stress and chaos that results. If you focus on God's peace today and choose His way over your way, you will find that perfect peace.

Joy, Abundance and Perfect Peace

Laurie

"You keep Him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because He trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever." Isaiah 26:3-4

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 ...
