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.

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 ...
