I came across this song on the internet and truly felt the words calling to me. There was a media player there and I was able to listen to the song.  It was not the one I was seeking in my mind; The one I sought was an old hymn from church.  

"Lead me, Lord, lead me in thy righteousness;
make thy way plain before my face.
For it is thou, Lord, thou, Lord only,
that makest me dwell in safety. "

Both songs express it so well... be it the light that leads you  or just God making the way plain right in front of you... His way is the truth and the light and He will keep you safe.
This has been a week of unexpected prayer requests.  Ministers serving in Africa,  friends in need, readers of this blog with prayer requests, birthdays, family members of friends having emergency surgeries,  etc.  When I leave this computer at night and head to shower and climb into bed, it is usually nine or later.  When I start in the mornings it is usually about 6:30 or seven.  Terry and I hold you all up in prayer together at night, once again in the morning together and then through out the day I stop and go through my 'heart list' on my on several times. 

The path for most of these folks was unexpected when it came to health and surgeries.  Those are the things we cannot prepare for other than to know He walks with each of us through the trial.  When we have others praying for us  it is wonderful and you literally cannot have too many folks praying for you.  Vicky was talking about the hospital in Mt Pleasant was so good about doctors praying over you with the nurses before and after surgery and then even in your room.  Doctors kneeling beside your bed with a nurse on the other side, holding your hands and offering up prayers for healing.

We are in this together... and together we hold each other up in prayer, in sickness, health, in good times and bad times... together, always in prayer.

I spent most of today working on the painting above.  This was for a special horse owner up north and her beautiful horse Onyx.  She did not want a representational painting but one that captured energy and color and personality.  I told Terry I wanted to start flying to take pictures of the horses myself so I could personally meet them.  

Enjoy your dance today.

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...
