"Sing to the Lord, you saints of His; praise His holy name. For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing
comes in the morning." Psalm 30:4-5

I do not know where my mind was when I painted this, but I do remember having fun. Terry was home and he kept spinning around in his chair to watch me. I had on my IPOD and was jamming and painting, oblivious to anything else. This followed a pretty treacherous week of kidney stones and busy schedules... it was time to dance.

In our lives there are always things creeping in to pull us down emotionally. If we didn't have the down days we would never enjoy those up days. God can transform your day in a blink when you least expect it. If you are sitting in the dark right now or you are emotionally drained, stop and focus on Him and the light will begin to come. Praise Him through it all.

Today is one of Stacey's showers. Her best friend is in from California to give it with her other best friend from Dallas. It is at Stacey's house so that is an hour in travel time from here. Natalie, the friend from CA, was Stacey's high school running buddy. They have definitely been through treacherous times together. Natalie will be back when Lauren is born to help Stacey through the first two or three weeks. THAT is a friend. I love Natalie. Natalie has her PHD in some science field, but she decided to follow her dream and she is doing photography full time. She is awesome.

She travels all over the country following her passion. She is the daughter of two ministers....two...so she double carries her Love and Gift from God everywhere she goes. She is a bright light in our lives. Here is a photo she took of Stacey this week... and I am sure there will be more for me to share later.



From bed rest to delivery....we are rejoicing that Stacey is now 35 weeks and Lauren
(aka Tink) is now over five pounds.

Joy and Abundance,

Laurie

"You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy." Psalm 30 :11

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 and Shelia at the Southlake Lowe's in Appliances

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 law of sin at work within me” I can only speak for mys

Piano Girls

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Girl on Piano Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Our prayers are with the southeastern Gulf coast as a hurricane approaches. We have family and friends in this area. This painting was a more impressionistic piece than the Girl on Piano pieces from 2008-2010.  It is the tilt of the head and the precious lift of the hand with the outer small finger delicately angled. Not quite old enough to be using pedals, her feet are crossed below the bench. Back in the day of my lessons and playing in the late fifties and early sixties, young girls wore dresses. I miss those days. I still prefer dresses over pants today... even my studio jeans.  One of my modern girl on Piano pieces.... "Playing for Papa" These make incredible gifts for the holidays using music that is important to you or to the person receiving the gift. In the midst of commissions right now.  I loved playing for my grandmother and my Dad.  Shop other Av
