"Don't walk in front of me... I may not follow. Don't walk behind me ... I may not lead. Walk beside me .. just be my friend." Albert Camus 

 With the season of Advent present some verses from the Bible catch in my heart and mind and over the days I repeat them again and again and I write them over and over.  While the above quote may be true for our earthly journey, I want to know the Lord is walking in front of me. 

 I came the the slow realization over the years that I what I thought or preplanned seemed to chew up a lot of time in life.  (Too much worry or too much planning in most cases.)  If I just 'leave it' and allow life to happen without my control, it is considerably less stressful. Remember God walks before us leading the way.

 In the process of reading the Bible every morning as Terry and I make it through the entire book this year, I have been rewarded with great comfort rediscovering treasures read throughout my life and totally surprised and in love with the new ones.  We just completed Ezekiel and before that Jeremiah and Lamentations.  It was a painful journey and quite a bit of self reflection in the convicting words.  Over and over I felt like God's view of the Israelites is most likely the disdain and disappointment he feels over the United States right now.  A great sadness filled us as we traveled through those books. This week we began Daniel and some of the stress began to peal away again. We remain amazed and in thanksgiving for our amazing Lord.

 "The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you or forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." Deut 31:8

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 ...
