I am not ready to share yet!

Two years ago…
 by Laurie Pace  


I was working on this painting about two years ago. It is the granddaughter of a good friend of mine. Watching her grow up from a tiny newborn to the energetic, vibrant young girl she has become, has been a treasure. 

Pulling things from the archive, I hope to be painting again in the next two months. I did paint a small piece yesterday.  5 x 7 in size, but I’m not ready to share yet. 

I can just about hear God saying that, ‘I’m not ready to share yet.”  With all that has happened in 2023  right to this early morning moment on my blog, I can feel the Lord working on me. It was in December right before Christmas, I surrendered entirely. The studio remained literally upside down….Hubby moved my computer (I cannot use it yet …probably for another 6 weeks.) I cleared out a HUGE box of paints, inks, fluid acrylics and a $200 shipment of new acrylic jars never used. Before Christmas I literally began giving away what was left in the studio.  He has a work in progress going right now…and I will wait patiently. 

There is something to be said about starting from almost nothing to reshape or restore your presence, your life, or your direction. Seems easier to hold on to what was. Yep, clinging to it.  You have to LET IT ALL GO. 

The Lord cannot provide what you need, or finish “working” on you if your thoughts and actions are contrary to His.  The freedom that comes with this free fall of the unknown is unexplainable. 

Perhaps you are at a cross roads, or living choked by schedules and must dos. Stop this morning. Stop your thoughts because they tend to run on overdrive.  You cannot control all of this.  You think you can, but it will wear you down. 

Take a break…remember to breathe. 

BE BRAVE

Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
