"Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air." Ralph Waldo Emerson

 This is a painting I just finished this past week for La Jolla Gallery in California.  I have so many beach photos from the Florida Coast and the Texas Coast, it is nice to have them for reference.  Water is my inspiration and my calm in life.  I can just imagine walking the beach with a storm moving in.  Makes your heart beat a little faster.  You just sighed in contentment watching the rain move in. God is there in the moment, just as He is here in this moment today.

 Are you contemplating a change in your life right now? Are you burdened by something that seems to pull you down daily? I will reaffirm to you right now that God knows and He will show you the way. Paul Fletcher, as he became the newly elected Sheriff for our county years back, was asked by a friend before the election if he was nervous. His reply was, "No, because the outcome has already been written." What an awesome statement to sum up his faith.

 God knows and He will show you the way. Doesn't matter if it is a loss of a job, the death of a loved one, the unexpected illness, the failure of meeting a goal, ... feelings of loss overwhelm all of us. Lift your hands to Him, up, open and extend them above your head. Be ready to receive what he does have for you. He will lead you to new relationships, accomplishments, opportunities and back into a positive direction.  Just whisper THANK YOU in your life every day. That is what he wants to hear. 

 Be ready to grow with God today.

 Laurie

 “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross!” Philippians 2:5-8

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 ...
