"On the day I called, you answered me, you increased my strength of soul." Psalm 138:3

Through out our daily life, we encounter trials and stresses that begin to drain us of both patience and peace. It is at that moment we need to train ourselves to stop... STOP. Begin to breathe and count and as you do you allow the strength of the Spirit to fill your body with loads of new oxygen. This improves you physically, emotionally and mentally as you face what is there.

I can only begin to scratch the fullness of what Jesus faced... I would be terrified to the point of fainting or having a heart attack I am sure. His Father gave him the strength of soul to carry that cross and finish what was left for Him to do. Today affirm God within the strength of Spirit that is yours, no different than what was there for Jesus. Our small trivial trials are nothing in comparison, but our Father promises to walk with us through all of it.

Remember to call upon this inner power of Spirit whenever you need it. Breathe....slowly... and count.

Yesterday Stacey was over. She had a doctors appt and OMA got to babysit. What fun! Lauren is becoming a true little person with smiles and eyebrow raising... so adorable. Mom aka MEMA came by twice today to hold her and love on her. Uncle Kirk, my youngest brother stopped by as well. Other than that it was Terry and I leaving finger prints all over her...with kiss prints too!
Her Daddy will give her a good bath tonight and all traces will be gone.


SLIDE SHOW OF LAUREN'S VISIT YESTERDAY!



Remember to Count....

“The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” Hebrews 1:3

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 ...
