"On this day of your life I believe God wants you to know... if you do not the expect the unexpected you will not find it, for it is not to be reached by search or trail.   Heraclitus said that, and he was right. Life is delighted to bring you The Unexpected. Are you delighted to receive it?   Indeed, belief in the coming of The Unexpected is the genesis of hope. How can you hope for anything breathtaking or exciting if you can only hope for the already expected? Therefore, you must always think that anything can happen. Form your ideas and your dreams within that framework!  Remember, God specializes in The Unexpected."  Neale Donald Walsch
  

Oh my gosh, did this one hit me between the eyes yesterday.  Think about those words above.  Think about it.  We have these ideas of what is best for us.  We know what we want and need.  Or do we? We live each day in expectation of what we want to have come to us; things to happen to us; good things to fall in our laps.  We expect the expected.  Look at what you are missing if you don't consider the unexpected.  

We seem to want the norm with bits of excitement, and God has ready for us the unbelievable, the dreams beyond your dreams. 

Can you handle it?  Are you ready for it?  Believe and let go of the good for the better.

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 ...
