I am truly late blogging, but have been here in front of the computer for an hour piling through emails. How so much mail clogs up every night I am not sure. Meanwhile I begin my list of what HAS to be done today as I plow through the email. My list is too long. It is enough to give anyone a headache. It is full of all the crossing the t's and dotting the i's and everything I did not do Monday or Tuesday. Do you have days like this?

Well, my list is made and in front of me and I simply refuse to get too hyper about it. I just need to trust in God and take it on, one at a time.

There are times in life we are overwhelmed by our job or our life situation. Despite our tense thoughts, God knows right where we are. You can be on track spiritually, but slowly become totally lost with your life situations. Still, He knows right where you are, and where you are going.

God wants your attention. Listen to Him today. Perhaps He wants you to be overwhelmed with Him. When those worldly things continue to pull you down, you need to replace your anxiety with positive thoughts of God's giving grace of love, joy and peace. He wants us overwhelmed with His presence in our life.

Today exchange your worries with His peace. Trust that God knows your tomorrow and let Him overwhelm you with that knowledge.

Joy and Abundance,

Laurie


" When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then you knew my path." Psalms 142:3

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
