Still Watching over this painting trying to decide about the touch of color.  I have infused a bit of my favorite blue in this one but not sure it is it enough... what do you think?

I started on another painting that is a gift for my son, and it is in the process of coming together. I may only post one or two images because it is a gift and not something normal that I paint.  Is there a normal?

There are times we say no and times we say yes. Each of us reacts differently when asked to participate or do things with others or for others.  More often we say yes too much and it may not be 'yes' to our good or to God's good.  If we have prayed about things we make decisions based on faith and prayer. That you can always say 'yes' to.  'Yes' to prayer and 'yes' to God.

Anytime you are uncertain, take the time, be it fifteen minutes or two or three days...to pray about the situation.  When you hesitate it proves you are unsure and it is something that requires prayer and faith in what you conclude.  His love surrounds you and embraces you to bring you comfort and peace as you come to a decision. God is always there. It is sometimes hard for me to surrender to Him and to what I spiritually feel and know is the right decision.  I found myself this past weekend struggling with a decision that I felt pulled in two directions. I knew deep in my heart that I should not take action and complete what I was supposed to do,  yet, not doing it made me feel guilty that I would be leaving someone down that I felt responsible for.  I did not do it.  The spirit inside found such peace once I let it go... I felt the peace surging through me.  

"Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be done to you." Matthew 9:29

May Abundance be yours...

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 ...
