"Misery.. winter cold hit and I am in the thick of it!... not just cold air but a head cold. The cold air hits in about 36 hours and it keeps dropping.  I did see my doctor today and it is not in my chest...thankfully! I had an allergic reaction to something last Wednesday and have been battling that and Suddenly this morning, I have a blooming head cold!  Stay healthy and eat healthy... I am going to work hard to be well by Christmas Eve. Excuse me... I am sneezing!

Traversing New Lands

I have always believed an artist that stagnated was not growing if their work was not deepening. The end work is not as important as the journey.  We know it when we come to it face to face.  I had to criss cross several paintings I had up over the past two weeks and rework them.  This colorful Horse Painting is one of those.  My journey simply was unsatisfactory.  I brought it back and reworked a small area and it was too perfect. It just was not happening. It was time for infusion of color and that is where the journey became exciting.  There is a rhythm to the paint placement and the colors as they weave through the painting.  This one is newly posted on my website for sale!  

On the spiritual side, I am focusing on time reading and studying preparing for not just the celebration of Christmas but the advent of the new year. My word for 2023 is 'beholding' and I am not sure if I shared that in my blog or not.  I want to take the time to see (Behold) God woven in everything I actually see and do each day. Last night I was reading about giving him full control and letting go.  We all remember what it is like to hold a new born baby, tiny and strong, but totally unable to do anything for themselves.  To God, we are that new born babe, and we are dependent on Him for everything. We only think we have control... we do not.

Yesterday I celebrated my birthday.  It always seems strange as my Dad's birthday here on earth was today. I have only celebrated alone for 11 years and I miss my dad!  SHARING THE JOY There was a reading I studied on Sunday morning early when I woke up yesterday. Messages for the Morning Watch- Studies in Genesis   " Is there anything too hard of Jehovah?" Gen 19:14   Next was the challenge of the day... paraphrased:  God wants you to think of the deepest, highest, worthiest desire and longing of your heart, something which perhaps w

Be Strong and Courageous

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Wild Stallion  by Laurie Pace   Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be affrighted at them:  for Jehovah thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deut 31:6 This Stallion was painted back in 2010.  I am guessing it is oil by the visible layering strokes of my palette knife. The contrasts are precise and clear. The white cuts through the dark reds. The reds concentrate the motion and the shapes and everything moves counterclockwise. Temptation is calling me to paint.  Are there times recently you have needed strength and courage and felt defeated by other things before even facing the situation? Do you feel like you are going counter clockwise? Seems like life right now for many of us. If you can face what is before you knowing the Lord God has everything under control, you are then beginning to gather wisdom.   God is often stopped by our working when we get in the way of what is mean
