West by Northwest
Oil on Canvas SOLD by Laurie Pace
Good morning... the hurricane has left Texas and we had only a sprinkle of rain and some wind. Praying for all friends and family that have been affected by the hurricane through storms and loss of power.
West by Northwest was an investigative painting and when I did this back in 2014, I truly did not know what would come out of it until it presented itself DONE! As true to my nature 99% of the time there is an odd number of horses as well as my odd chest into leg area on the white horse. I had this 'thing' about hearts and horses back then. No more. The magic here for me is the layers of color and light and horses... almost like an early morning fog and you can see them but not make out the things around them. Some horse paintings are more magical than others! Enjoy.
This morning in Streams of the Desert, the Bible verse and story were delivered at this day for me to read and hear and share with you. You can also click through to the post itself from this title, or just read my 'take' on the power we seem to forget we have....
You have heard me say... it has been almost two full years of difficult life changing things for us. A season we were not prepared for and it is still not moving on. Why would God put us in this position of constant harsh changes? The question posed was does God's promise to you not come as a "sudden shower" to put out the fire you are passing through?
My thoughts took off with... Does He not promise to walk with us through everything easy and hard? Does he not carry us through the deep waters or over a path of hot embers and fire?
He can only do it if we stop struggling.
The more we struggle the harder it is. But my friends, sometimes it seems harder to let go. I know. The rawness of pain, of loss, of uncertainty....
but He is already there for us.
HE IS ALREADY HERE FOR MY HUSBAND AND ME.
Whatever is ahead in your life, if you stay the course with the Lord and His promises through His word shared through the Bible...
"Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or terrified of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you." Deut 31:6
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." Psalm 23:4
