The Painting:  It continues....


The Thought:  I have to share with you today a new Christian Author.  I just finished a book by her, not knowing anything about her, her background or how much she had written.  My favorite series is Liz Curtis Higgs Scottish Series. It is one of the best series I have read to date.  Terry ordered the book "The Frontiersman's Daughter" for me for Christmas. It was written by Laura Frantz.  It was one of those books that was written so well, you didn't know what would happen. It was not a milk toast book with only predictability, but a book that was written as people lived and breathed and reacted to life, not always making those right choices.   It was a book that was so good I savored it and enjoyed every time I had time to read.  Before I was even through with it, I flew to amazon.com to see what else I could order by Laura Frantz.  I was disappointed as there was only a preorder for her next book due out this year.

Current Book to order, just click the book.





Well, the more I reflected I decided I was blessed as I get to build up in anticipation to the next book and hopefully more to come from this new author. Reading is my salvation and joy with the Bible and my pleasure and retreat with my other books. I have a huge library and I reread all of them... delighting in the stories and finding new things in them as I do.


New Book to pre-order, just click the book!




I wish you joy in life in whatever you do!

Laurie


"The Lord will accomplish what concerns me;

Your loving kindness, O Lord, is everlasting;

Do not forsake the works of Your hands."  
Psalm 138:8

Laurie, It's such a blessing and honor to have you read my book and post about it on here. That just blesses me immensely! I'm going to post about you and another artist this week and have added you to my blog roll on my sidebar.
Your artwork is so amazing! I've often thought that if the Lord hadn't blessed me with the gift of writing I'd love to be an artist like you. Thank you for your encouragement and support. I'm so glad my book blessed you.

Laurie,after seeing the link for Frontiersman's Daughter on yesterday's blog I placed an order immediately. Today you sold me again - I pre-ordered the new one.I will check into the series as well. I have been reading Jan Karon and Beverly Lewis series and it is time I switch gears and try Laura Franz.

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 ...
