This seems to be a favorite painting composition for folks that want a guitar. Each time I repaint this the colors change and the guitar takes on it's own feel. This was requested by a mom for her son's room over his bed. WHAT FUN!!! I believe it is to be a surprise as well and that makes it even neater.

Surprises when you least expect it can catch you off guard. Surprise good? Surprise bad? When you are thinking the layers of yesterday, even the "surprise bad" may be a journey to good, so I am thinking better not to differentiate...lets just say SURPRISE.

I want to plant a seed today.

Trust God with your dreams and He may surprise you.

Now it is your turn to figure out your priorities and dreams. Try not to be too "Plan" specific and get down to the simple requests.... joy, abundance, love, grace, comfort etc...

How can you simplify? The human race seems to invite complications and busyness into life. We become overwhelmed by the responsibilities we have added to our lives. That includes debt and overbooked schedules. When you figure your way out of all of that, you will find a gentler life filled with His grace, surrounded by His love. Are you surprised that life could be that simple?

If you can get there, you will never go back to the life you live today. Call on Him and He will lead you out of the chaos. Trust Him; the results are surprising.


Joy and Abundance,

Laurie

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Matthew 6:33

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 ...
