“I heard of a tradition," said Thorne, "where the guests are supposed to make a bunch of raucous noise outside of the bridal chambers on the wedding night, until you give us candy and send us away."   Scarlet glared at him. "Yeah, please don't do that.” ― Marissa Meyer, Stars Above
Yep, it is a strange one.... but sometimes an artist has to do what an artist has to do! This was way way back in 2005... 11 years ago.  Part of a pop art series.  I am heading into exploring another area with figurative and I am not sure how to get there and believe it may take a year to even scratch the surface.  That will be a lot of painting time ahead.
Sometimes we often feel that process is the same with praying and God, but it truly is not. God knows what we are thinking before we hear it in our own brain... that little voice that talks up there.  We believe we have to earn the way with God... when in fact we only have to believe and truly believe in our heart and it all happens right then.  But staying connected is the hardest thing for each of us to do... staying connected with God throughout our waking hours.
One of the verses from the Bible Study that touched my heart is in Deuteronomy. Please read it through and listen to the words. 
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.  These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.  Impress them on your children.Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.  Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.  Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. Deuteronomy 6:4-9
  • Love the Lord with all your heart and soul and strength
  • Let this be on your heart all the time
  • Impress this on your children
  • Talk about this when you are at home
  • Talk about this when you are on the road
  • Talk about this when you lie down at night
  • Talk about this when you get up in the morning
  • Keep the words tied to your hands (In what you do)
  • Bind them on your forehead so you do not forget them
  • Write them on the doorframes of your house
  • Write them on your gate.
Sadly when I look back to the raising of the kids time... we did attend church and we prayed at meals and we thought we were walking the walk, but reading this passage I feel like I failed somewhere.  He has to be woven into your life, your words, your actions, your deeds, your children, your family, your home and in your thoughts.

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 ...
