The Path Ahead Beneath the Trees.

 by Laurie Pace  

 Trees have always been part of my life. I am a tree hugger from way back. I have two small paintings finished and three more drawn out to be painted. You have to be patient to watch a tree bloom and grow. 



Nahum 1:7
The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.

 Deut 2:31 “I have begun to give;….begin to posses.” 

If we are waiting for God’s guidance or a ‘Telegram’ from God, we are not exercising pure faith. Pure faith is ready when trusting God is without any doubts or worries. Through out the Bible there is much said about waiting on the Lord.  It is easy to grow weary of waiting… and we struggle to understand why we are waiting…and waiting. The delays seem monumental. 

My right arm has been unusable since the last week of October.  My Mom passed away two weeks later. We create much of our own troubles.  We  become restless not grasping why He has slowed down our healing or the wait we have ahead.  Reminds me of watching the moths spinning cocoons on our Passion vines.  You cannot help the new butterflies break free as their wings must stretch and break through the cocoon on their own.  It strengthens them to fly away. Otherwise the butterfly is deformed and crippled.  Patience my friend. 

We must wait upon the Lord with what he has for us. I felt double hit getting sick after Mom’s service Saturday. Arm is aching, I cannot do my accupuncture till I am fever free…and this sinus infection caught me off guard.  We feel like we cannot wait for the answers to our prayers, not realizing it may be a year or years added together before our prayers are answered. God is preparing the way. He already knows what is ahead and we should not be in doubt.  We must walk with Him, even when he walks slowly. This is all part of us learning patience and believing our prayers are heard and He is working on everything now. 

I hope to start playing the piano soon…maybe just a few songs every other day.  I am waiting till I finish treatment on my arm before I try my new guitar ….and if I require rehab for the shoulder. I have had to deal with His Time, not my time.

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting. This is available for purchase. Please click here  to see pricing and painting. Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Pace Studio  Graphics One Design My Blog          My Website          Gicl...

EXHAUSTED Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
