I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)

It is cold cold cold outside and there is a thick, inches thick, layer of ice on top of everything. Terry left for the airport at 5 am and it is 6: 15 as I am typing and he still has not phoned to say he has arrived. It is normally a 25 min drive....All the schools are closed today, but by 11 this morning temps will be up over freezing and life will return to normal. In our circle drive out front there is a huge 50 ft magnolia tree. Magnolia trees have all their leaves right now and a lower branch was so heavy with ice is was on top of Terry's truck. I do not think he will park under it tonight.

SO in thoughts of WARM, I posted RED HOT this morning. She is strong and full of energy! PAINTING is on the agenda today... I have a commission of four paintings, 24 x 36 which will be hung together. We have decided to use the commonality of family in the thoughts of the painting and she wants horses of course... final sketches today and I will begin painting.

Are you living your destiny? Are you there yet? Many of us keep prodding along waiting to get there. Where is there? Why does it take growing older to get a bit wiser? Why can't some of this dawn on us at an earlier age?

We visit about having Jesus in our hearts and following God's directions to live. We read in our bible and we pray daily. With Jesus in your heart, is He only three inches tall? Is He a "good luck" charm that if you "believe" you are protected from the bad stuff? Is He someone you turn to only when things are going wrong? Do you pray once a day like taking a vitamin to keep you healthy and wise? Is this what you are teaching your own children?

Actually living in Christ will transform you into a new person. It will change the concept of who you are and His personality will mix into yours and you will become "new". New behaviors, new attitudes, new likes and dislikes...all new as you are walking in His love. The change starts in your heart as you realize you must depend on God to help you make those changes to be more like Him.

"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Romans 12:2

Believe in the good (GOD) inside of you...let it shine out to others.


Joy and Abundance... Terry just arrived at the airport at 6:40.

Laurie

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them." Ezekiel 36:26-27

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 ...
