"My purpose shall stand, and I will fulfill my intention." Isaiah 46:10

Why are you here?

Have you ever wondered why you are here on earth, or what your purpose is? I know many people who never even entertained that thought as they are really into enjoying their life and the pleasures of life around them.

Personally I believe God created each of us for a purpose. In this lifetime it is our goal to find things that fulfill the purpose of our being. As we are knitted together in our mother's womb, God has put together the genetics that are required for us to live this life. There is a wide variety of personalities in our one family alone. Some recognizable traits are there and others are not.

Being in the right place at the right time will result in everything falling together as it is meant to be. Our talents and contributions will immediately begin filling a need for others and we will be gifted back ten fold for our giving out.

It is what I call "The Perfect Fit."

I ordered some custom made jeans online for "the perfect fit." They arrived and the hips and legs are perfect, but they are slightly short (despite my measuring). When you order these custom, you are so careful to measure. I know now to add an inch to the length. I should have known when they said NO INSEAM measurements that I would miss it. My inseam is 36 inches. They have you measure from your waist to the floor...which is what I did, but my jeans are a tiny bit too short. Everything else is sooo perfect with the jeans. Choosing my own style and they fit around my hips and legs like they were custom made for the perfect fit! They were! Why did I do this? It was to have jeans that I could wear RIGHT NOW... the Perfect Fit.

Are you doing a job that is a perfect fit for you? Are you involved in life with things that are a perfect fit for you? If not it is time to pray and make some heartfelt changes.

Abundantly,

Laurie

"You alone created my inner being. You knitted me together inside my mother." Psalm 139:13

Hi Laurie, The horse does stand proud! Very nice painting. I saw your paintings in person at the Dutch Art Gallery on Friday - I love your works!
Right now there are things in my life that are a perfect fit as are things that are just a little short like your jeans - but I'm sure I will find a way to either change it or learn to deal with it.
Cheers,
Judy

"The Perfect Fit" - a timely message for me as I do exactly that! I'm looking for what is the perfect fit for me in my art, my ministry, my life! Thank you for reminding me to seek God to be my tailor and help me find the perfect fit for me!

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

EXHAUSTED Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'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...
