Divine Order

I have many friends that share the thought what is to happen in the future is already written in Heaven.  Sheriff Paul says it all the time.  He is the one that told us this area was like living in pre-Heaven with the beauty of the land and the people that live here. The Sheriff's faith is strong and he lives his life following the Lord.

It actually takes a lot of pressure off if you begin to contemplate the fullness of what he is saying. We are accustomed to crying, worrying, grieving and pacing when we are confronted with circumstances that seem to be out of our control. Prayer is the answer, be it offered up alone in conversation with God or if you can gather with others and lift it up in the power of 'where two or more are gathered in my name'.

Prayer will bring a release of tension in your body and your mind. Slowly you will begin to relax and open your worries to a clear head. Your heart will listen for God's wisdom. When you do this, you open yourself to divine order and the plans God has for you.

God is all knowing. His plan is greater than anything you can conceive. Allowing Him into your life takes the pressure off of you. Less worry and planning and less manipulating things around you.

On the Club 47 challenge.. I have managed to exercise 20-30 minutes each day so I am easily on track for shooting past 100 minutes a week.  I am aiming for 180 minutes in fact this week.  Strength comes with the habit of doing it. I am creating the habit to exercise again.

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...
