I love you for being so real and so normal! Well, if you call writing 12 Bible Studies that change people's lives normal......
You bless me.

I'm working on a talk for a women's ministry event right now and took a break to check out the blog (sitting in my stack of books is "Living Beyond Yourself"). You can imagine how much I'm smiling at those pictures. Congratulations on finishing. God's smiling even bigger than we are!
love,
Cathy
I sat at my desk and laughed at your photo-candidness with us about finishing the bible studies. We all know that those pictures don't do any justice to the time, energy, prayer, love, and sacrifice you invested to plant such wonderful seeds in our (many nameless) faces and hearts over the coming years. Just know that so many of us have hand-written signs (like yours) that say "Thank you".
I love this, that we can now see what it is REALLY like for you!!! Thank you for putting your life into so many others and being as real as this, to show us who you are. I've always wondered how you do what you do, look at all those books! Would you be willing to tell us what a typical day looks like for you Beth?
Amanda, thanks for posting these great pics!
God Bless you,
Gayle Ann
as i sit here and read a book on writing, the Lord prompted me to check your blog for new entries. sure enough, these fabulous pics of you lying on the ground are timely and motivational in considering my own potential writing in the future. God uses you in ways you are unaware of, even in the madness and chaos of putting thoughts on paper. He daily blesses people through you.
thank you.

You really are the real thing.....it has been determined by the photos.
That's important to me.
Bless You!
You are a hoot! (as my sweet Arkansas sister-in-law would say)!
Beth,
Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. You crack me up so much. I can't wait to do this study. You're so cute.
Amanda,

take a nap girl, you deserve it :)
Love the pictures! I am so happy for you; and happy for us - the eventual readers! Thank you. :) Praise the Lord it's finished!
Never have I anticipated one of your studies more than this one. And never will I forget sitting in that huge auditorium with you and thousands of others that day in Raleigh as you took us up those stairs ascending into the temple and on through to our ascent "nose to the carpet"!
Thank you for allowing us to give you feedback on this one - it was such a joy to get to share back with you what God is teaching us through your leadership.
Congratulations and may you have many more funny finishes!
These pics are absolutely hilarious, I especially love that you are lying on the floor when there is a couch right behind you!
My 6 year old little girl just asked, "Is that the lady that wrote your book"? Then I told her she just finished writing a new book. She said, (with much concern for you) "Oh she must be so tired"! Happy Friday!
Congratulations! Thank for the photos, as I am in hysterics looking at them. I love that you are so hilarious and REAL. Now go rest, you deserve it!
We just love you! We love your studies and learn so much...they truly are a spiritul shot in the arm. Thank you for all the love/hard work you do to help us grow and learn more about our God!
dear beth, as you taught me to pray god's word this one is for you-psalm 87:6 I pray - The Lord will record, When He registers the peoples: "This one was born there."
I am so glad to hear we get to learn more about God through you. You are such an annointed teacher. I have LOVED the Daniel study. I can't get enough of it. I did,however, have a question about week 10 (page206). The questions about the kings are throwing me and I can't seem to give it up. I would love to be set straight. I don't know why this has become so important to me. Keep going girl! I am drinking every drop. God is so Good!

Oh My Goodness, Beth. This is too funny! I know you are so relieved. Now you can dive into "Wising Up" without the worry of finishing Psalms. And then Esther!! Whoo-Hoo!
I love you so!
Loving the blog!
Beth, you crack me up! And still, you have a beautiful office! Thanks for being a blessing to us today with your photos (in more ways than one ~ making us laugh and being so real).
I bet you're even learnin' when you're sleeping on those books... Thanks for being you.
Thanks for the peek into your office.
Wow!! You did it!!Congratulations!!! Now its time to go celebrate with some Mexican food :)
Thank you for sharing your life with us. You crack me up.
Love you,

Surely you will hear,"Well done..." from the lips of the King. I find your photos not funny but holy, as I see a woman prosrate before the only Wise God, the only Imparter of Wisdom. We know the Source- thank you for vesseling His voice.
May we also, in whatever manner He chooses.
God Bless you, Beth! Thank you for being so real with us! It helps me a lot to know that the person giving the message,writing the studies,is a normal,down-to-earth person. Someone who has given herself totally; body,mind and spirit,to helping her sisters get to know and love the Lord,the way she does! No speaker or writer has ever made me want to have a real, loving relationship with the Lord,until I found you!:) You have lit a fire in my heart towards the Lord! Now I want to have, I yearn to have a real relationship with my Heavenly FATHER,thanks to you, Beth! How do I start, where do I go from here? I accepted the Lord into my heart,2 years ago, but I think it's all been in my head since then! Now I want to live it, live Him in my heart! How do I do that?
Thank you so much, Beth!
I Love you my sister!

You have truly been a godsend in my life! Your studies, and God's grace have brought me thru the most intense crises I have ever been thru. Thank you for hearing God's beautiful voice and sharing with your sisters!

Hi Beth!
Thanks for all your hard work in preparing these studies. We have just started your study on Daniel (and this time we've invited our husbands!). Just wondering...the Patriarchs' leaders's guide had alot of other ideas for the group discussion in addition to what was already in the workbook. As my husband and I prepare to lead the first week's discussion, I surely miss those additional exercises! What's the scoop? Any other resources of yours that might help us expand and get people more involved?
Thanks for all you do for us and the Lord!
Jane
I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Excited about this study and as soon as I read about it I just got on my face and cried out to God for more of a hunger for His word. We all need whatever Beth has as far as her hunger and thirst to drink deep and keep leading others to the well that doesn't run dry! Keep the studies coming! We are hungry for more!! Much love!g
Yeah!!!! It's finished! A Huge Thank You for pouring so much of yourself into all the studies you write. I am grateful for the way He uses YOU. You are definitely used by Him for His glory.
I love the pics, you are a hoot!
You are the best! I'm just sitting here cracking up at the pictures! Can't wait to see how the Lord uses your hard work!!! Love ya!
The pictures of all the books you used to study made me think of the verse, "to whom much is given,much is required" and thank you for giving so much as you walk God's path!
Beth, who picks up after you when you leave your stuff all over the place? :)
I loved your pictures. They are hilarious! Hallelujah!!!!!!And I want you to know my story. I have been so blessed by every day of the homework and the miracle is that I have done everyone of them...and a bigger miracle is my life is changed...so my motto for this year is looking up and stepping up in 2007---of course after I have been on my face before our God Most High. So I look forward to taking this series across the finish line......thank you thank you thank you
All your work has blessed others. I've developed such a hunger for learning about our Jewish roots from this study.
Heeehehheeeee! Great pictures. Now that's pouring yourself into your work. I love it! Thanks for putting all ya got into blessing us. I am forever grateful for His grace and your blessings that have poured into my life. Love ya, Beth!
Abigail and I are looking at your pics. How FUNNY! Abigail said, "Ms. Beth is so SILLY on the floor. Maybe she can come to our house and see her self on our computer!" I said that you were so tired from writing your book about Jesus. Abigail says, maybe she can take a nap!
Anyway, thanks for being so real and always teaching us something! Congrats for being finished... WAHOO!! If only, I could finsih now!

These picture made my day. For real. With all of your piles of books in "not so neat" order, you are a woman after my heart! :)
I'm thrilled that you are blogging. I started a devotional blog almost 2 years ago due to "pressure" in my church that we needed more estrogen in the blogosphere. Go Sista!
Also, I'm sure you get this a lot, but your bible studies are timeless. I'm just now going through "A Heart Like His" with my church group and even posted on my blog about my lesson lesson last week.
Have a great day! Can't wait to read your next study.
OH BETH! what a thrill it is to see a glimpse what your study and writing is like! What a Blessing this blogspot is and boy am I glad to have stumbled upon it! Glory to God! Am so chuffed about the opportunity to read more from you and Amanda and in a 'casual' setting such as the blog! AWESOME!!!

I love the picture of you with head bent over your book (I'm assuming in prayer) -- praying over your words. I want God to be in the words I write as well. What a beautiful reminder to me in your photo.
Are those sleeping photos STAGED? :-)
Can't wait for the new study. Thank you, Beth.
So THIS is how your bible studies get done... WOOHOO!!! A true texan woman here ladies - you work your fingers to the bone and you hiney right off and then once it's accomplished, YOU TAKE A BIG OLE NAP!! (hahahahaha)
I am loving these pictures. It's giving us a glimpse into the hardwork that is your life Beth and it's all for the Glory of our Father and for us. I THANK YOU SO MUCH For your servants heart and your willingness to serve Him. Because without you, there would still be a lot us women walking around out there still struggling to understand Christ's love for us and struggling to understand the Word of God!
With Love,
Hollie:)
Beth,
I love this picture of you. I can really relate. A picture is worth a thousand words. God bless you
