Do we ever really know what is on the road ahead?  When you drive you still cannot be totally confident what is ahead. Even using your IPhone for traffic maps showing accidents etc, things can change in a blink of a second.  

In life I believe we all have plans and goals. They begin indoctrinating you at a young age to plan ahead, or make a list of goals, or a to do list.  What should be on that list?  I am not sure as everyone's is different. 

The list I am interested in is not filled with goals and plans but it is a list of simple affirmations that you can recite every day.
  1.  God's plan was written long ago and what will be is up to Him in His time. This is Divine Order
  2. Whenever you are tired or want to give up, listen carefully to that small tiny voice inside of you; that is God talking to you.  Never Give up on God.
  3. God believes in second chances. Pick up a Bible and read in the New Testament endless stories of the dead-end losers that God turned around to be fine human beings. There is always Hope.
  4. God's guidance is available 24/7.  He is never closes the door and is open to hear from you all the time. He will inspire you and guide you to your good.  Divine Direction.
  5. Health and well-being come with a growing awareness of the Spirit that lives within. Healing.
  6. You have a right to a prosperous life with purpose and fulfillment. Prosperity
  7. Peace is yours for the asking, but you must have an open heart and open hands to let Him in. Inner Peace
  8. We are united by God. God is love. Love is Peace.  World Peace

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 ...
