The Painting:  It started with an undercoat primer of black paint.  From there came the composition and colors with the horses in motion... The colors reminded me of Santa Fe but more of the desert west of there.

The Thought:    Sometimes do you think everything is going wrong...or things seem to be pointed in the opposite direction than you wanted to go?  I think that is only your perspective and that my friend, can be adjusted.

So many arguments happen between people every day that are wasted energy leaving the participants both drained and empty.  There are no winners from these encounters.  When you decide to do something and things are not going in the right way, it is time immediately to reassess and change directions.  Forcing an issue or forcing something that is not working is not God's will.  In a verbal disagreement you will be miles ahead with the simple words, "we must agree to disagree." 

You will never go wrong when you commit your way to God.  Always faithful to you with His love, He will lead you in the right direction.  He will protect you no matter what challenges are in your journey and He will prosper you.  (No that doesn't mean financial independence...but it does mean emotional peace.)  

His way may even feel counter intuitive to what you might think your plans should be.  That requires a leap of faith and the courage to see it through and believe you are submitting your life to Him.

Take heart this day my friend, and commit to being faithful to God.  Follow Him.

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 ...
