Soaring Spirits

Have you ever awakened in the morning with soaring spirits?  You literally bound out of bed ready to face the world, or you have something really special about to happen that day?

That excitement comes from your perspective at the time. Our human brain is limited and that does influence how we react to things around us. The hope is we learn to seek a wholeness when we are ill; to believe in abundance when our financial situation is tight; to work with the knowledge we have gained in our lifetime to be wise in our decisions.

Last few weeks I have been struggling with a confused state of mind. (My siblings would probably say I stay this way...) but usually I am very directed and assertive like my father and mother.  I am learning to sit back quietly and find that oneness with God. It is only from Him that I can reconnect and find that joy to have soaring spirits when I wake from the night.

Emails from friends have really been uplifting to me this week. I am seeing things differently as I pray and sit back and take in the abundance in my life and the infinite possibilities ahead. The depression I was in was fed by the hot hot weather and the dying trees around us and the pond losing so much water. Seeing our land suffering along with the wildlife and fish, and I can do nothing to help any of it, but pray and know the Lord will send the rain.

Today has been busy... I am blogging late again. Terry worked on some tile in the kitchen and will finish it up tomorrow. I painted another wolf pack as you see above for the Jackson Hole Gallery and am working on another 24 x 36 to replace the one they sold.  I even took a nap this afternoon and Ann Morgan came by to visit. I never nap... and it felt so good. It brought SMILES when Ann arrived. Terry and I enjoyed the visit.

God is good. Abundance surrounds us even in the heat.

As always, I love your honesty, Laurie. If you took a rare nap you know that something was out of sync. Your comments about dying nature have helped me understand some of my recent mood too. I hope for you that the rest of the week brings more joy and more clarity.

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 ...
