SOLD THANKS!


"I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that has been given you in Christ Jesus." 1 Corinthians 1:4

Yesterday I finally got some painting done! SMILE! We keep Baby Lauren on Monday and Tuesday and in the midst of this we balance out packing and shipping. Tag team works great, but we look forward to when she is a bit more distracted by words and music. She is still in that survival FEED ME part of the brain. We have to watch we don't overfeed her!

During those two days my brain is on steroids thinking of all the things I want to paint on Wednesday. So by seven Wednesday morning, I had three canvas sketched out for paintings and three more ideas in my brain to do as well....

For some reason I am at one of those points when I can sense something with in grasp but have no idea what it is... but the anticipation is building. I hear God saying preparation, slow down and pray. Be Still. It will come. In a sense it leaves me a bit anxious if I dwell on it, but I am easily distracted right now with my paintings. Staying in the moment I will focus on what is on the easel right now and not thinking about what tomorrow will bring. God has given much to me THIS day and this is the day I will live to it's fullest.

Sometime in the next few blogs I want to share some of what we learned at our class this last weekend. It is still settling in around my brain and Terry and spent time through out the past days reflecting on the new skills and how to use them with everyone in our lives, not just children. It is a revolutionary way to parent, to deal with any relationship or even with folks you only pass by in the check out line. It is a skill that will improve your marriage as well. Heather Forbes wrote the books... and they were directed at relationships with foster children or children that have been through trauma.

Heck, I have been there, haven't you? More to come on this "new age" concept that truly is working. Grace, grant grace to someone you are irritated with today... this will start you off on the right track to thinking and acting outside the box.

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 ...
