Raleigh Girls!
I heard from some of my "Raleigh Girls"! I am so excited! I so hoped you guys knew I would keep my word to you and not forget that I promised to see the study through on the Psalms of Ascent, as God so led, then dedicate it to you. I want you to know that I have never gotten over my time with you. If a dozen Living Proof Live events stick out in my mind when I am old and gray (scratch gray), that will undoubtedly be one of them. I tend to expect to sense the power of the Holy Spirit most intensely in more intimate surrounding (like the one I'll have in two weeks in Seattle. Pray to that glorious end!). God blew my mind in Raleigh. I could practically sense His Presence on top of our heads. I love Him so. All of you guys (not just my Raleigh girls) give me such joy and encouragement in Him. Let's keep cheering one another on in our race. Oh, to see Christ's beautiful face! Run like the wind for the Joy set before you!

Hi Beth,
I find myself wishing that I had been in Raleigh!
Thanks for being faithful throughout the years to do just what you were fashioned by God to do. When you taught from Psalm 126 in NYC last year I was changed. I was watching by simulcast in a church in Fort Myers Florida and the power of the Holy Spirit was so real as you communicated the message that God had given to you. I was filled with anxiety because of a pit that I had been tossed into when I was completely unprepared! Jesus gave me back my laughter that day, and he taught me about deliverance in a fresh way as you spoke. The Lord has done GREAT things for us, and we are FILLED with joy! I look forward to the simulcast next month, and to the new study of the Psalms of Ascent. How are we supposed to wait until Chrismas???
Beth,
I just wanted to thanks for allowing God to use you. I just started reading Get out of the pit tonight. It has been good we were thrown into a pit last weekend, my daughter was raped, but I know that God is faithful and soon He will pick her and us up and set our feet on the ROCK.zdfbquyg
Thanks again
Dear Beth
I am one of those Raleigh girls! Seeing you in Raleigh was my introduction to you and your ministry. I had seen the poster about the event on the women's ministry board at my church but hadn't really considered going. The night before the event the director of our women's ministry called me and said someone could not go and had donated their ticket. She asked me if I would like to attend and I said "yes, since it was free." Well little did I know the blessings the Lord had in store for me! Since that time I have attended two other LPL events. (the one for pastor's wives in Chattanooga and the event in West Virginia-where I am originally from) I have also completed the Patriarchs study, lead the Breaking Free study, and am currently diong To Live as Christ. I can't wait to do "our" study on the Psalms of Ascent. I ma also reading Get Out of That Pit. I can really relate to you on many levels. (I was also molested as a child.) But the most important area where I relate to you is your love for the Lord. He is my passion now! I have become so much closer to Him since my intoduction to you and your ministry. Closer than I have ever been in my life. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your faithfullness in bringing us His Word! I can't wait to see you in Nasville at Deeper Still!
I pray for you often!
Love ya Houston girl!

To our dear sister who wrote above me that her daughter was raped, I am so so sorry. I am praying for you and your precious daughter as many here will also.
Sweet Beth,
I am one of your "Seattle girls".:) I have been praying and I continue to pray for His anointing and His mighty Hand working deep in each heart during that glorious weekend in two weeks!
I can't wait!!!! Beth, thank you for this Blog. Thank you so much (ahead of time) for coming to Seattle!:) We love you out here!!!
Your Seattle girl, Joy
I know I've already said it once, but I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU IN SEATTLE! I'm really glad that it's going to be a more intimate setting. I've been telling people that I thought it would be. Don't forget starbucks.
love you my big sister,
kristi

Beth--we hear your heart's song in every bible study, conference, and blob (*grin*) post. You are annointed and beyond loveable. Thanks for making us feel like a family. :) Love you bushels
ps..if you'rerefusing to go gray, then so am i (except i got a while cause i'm 22) :D
It is wonderful to be able to keep up a little with the wonderful work the Lord is moving through you. Thank you already for your newest study in Psalms. It will be a blessing, I am sure of that. I am reading "Get out of that Pit" and I am amazed by your honesty, your spot-on, hit the nail on the head, accuracy at my own life! I am so very grateful for your testimonies, and your mentoring. As my junior high students say, "You are the bomb!" (Of course these are the kids who told the science teacher the senior citizen they would most like to be like is me..." I told them they were all flunking that day! Praise the Lord, you Texas sweethearts!
Hi Beth,
I was one of your Raleigh girls and it was an awesome experience. When I got home to California I carefully did all my homework as you requested. I prayed on my face everyday. I was suppose to write to you about my experience with God and what direction it meant for my life but never did.
At that time I had no idea what it all meant. In Feb of last year I had the opportunity to go to Cuba on a 1 week missionary trip. Many lives were changed as we shared Jesus love with so many people anxious to hear the "Good News". I thank God for preparing me thru the Psalms of Ascent to step up and go. I am looking forward to your new study.
Hi Beth,
My "daughter" and I are Raleigh Girls, well...we're also Richmond Girls, Greensboro Girls and Chattanooga Girls! :) Lord willing we will be attending the simulcast in Burlington, NC in February. We also enjoy watching and studying with you on "Wednesdays with Beth". Please know that we lift you and your family in prayer often. God bless you and Praise His Holy Name!!!
Although I am not a" Raleigh" girl, I am a "Tennessee" girl. I will cheer you and the "Raliegh "girls on!! It gave me chills when you wrote keep cheering one another along and getting to see Christ's face. I am teaching on Heaven in my Sunday School class I said those same words today. With the Presence of God pouring down that intensely can you imagine what was going on in Heaven during that conference. Gives me chills!! Looking forward to the Psalm study!! Go Beth and Go Raleigh girls!!
Blessings,
Patty
Beth, I will be attending your conference in Detroit with some lovely ladies that have never been to see you before. I'm praying that God shows up in a big way at the motor city for them. We will all be jammed into five rooms across from the center. I wish I could attend the day before to pray over the seats they will be in. Addiction is one of the adversaries. You always ROCK!
Wow, to the woman who wrote in about her daughter having been raped. I am so sorry. Please tell her that I will be praying for her. I know you can't give out your name but I know God knows who I'm praying for. Tell her she has sisters out here that know and are standing in the gap for her. She is loved. Sam
Hey Beth!
I was in Raleigh. We actually traveled about 1000 miles one way to go...we didn't know it would be so far. Was it worth it? No Question...ABSOLUTELY. God confirmed his call on my life for ministry and I surrendered on that trip. He is everything! I am excited about the study...I did the homework after the trip and it was super. Thank You for your faithfulness and, as crazy as it sounds, you friendship. We may have never met, but I feel like you are one of my best girlfriends! (we do have a mutual friend...Margaret Kennedy) Loving Him - Aleah
Hey Beth,
I forgot to include that we are gonna travel to Columbia to see you in April. Can't wait!

Dear Beth,
I am a Raleigh girl who was changed forever by that event. Can't wait to see you in Boone, NC in May!
I know this blob (still getting a kick out of that) is sort of your thing with Amanda, but I'd love to get an update on how your other daughter is doing.
I'm praying for you. One day I'll write you a letter and explain just why your ministry has meant to me.
I can't believe I'm telling you this, Beth, but my husband just changed the ringtone on my cell phone. It's you saying "Kristi, can I trust you with power." You said that at the Rivers in the Desert conference in Houston a few years ago. Since you don't know me I know you weren't refering to me, but when you did say it it SCARED ME TO DEATH! I almost fell out of my chair.
See you soon,
Kristi
Beth,
From another of your Raleigh Girls.
What a life changing experience in Raleigh. God trully Blessed.
Can't wait for the study.
Beth,
I am one of those Raleigh Girls and I just can't get out of my mind what you said about how we can wear frosty pink lip gloss and still be serious women of the word! Can we ever have enough frosty lip gloss-surely there's a Bible study illustration in there somewhere :) I just loved the Raliegh LP live and can't wait to see you in Boone! Look for me, I will be the one with extra hair product and super frosty lip gloss!! ha ha
One more thing, I met your awesome photographer (Jason?) at a Lifeway Festival of Marriage at Ridgecrest. He has amazing talent and took the most wonderful pic of my husband and me. And not to sound like a stocker, but he also gave me some "insider" info on working with you-all good stuff of course! Anyway, I just happened on your blogg and thought I would leave you a word of encouragement-keep it up girlfriend!!

Beth,
I hope you know how God used you truly impacted us "Raleigh girls" and how He continues to use you to bless us every time we hear your teachings.
God bless you richly!
Hi Beth,
I'm another Raleigh girl!! What a blessing that conference was to me! Face Down, just changed my life. Still go face down - many, many times. I am currently taking Beloved Disciple. It is awesome! Previously, I have taken Daniel, Patriarchs and Living Beyond yourself. I have learned so much through your Bible studies. Looking forward to in Simulcast in Feb.
Thanks for the Raleigh Girl props in Columbia SC!!
I would be interested to hear how many Raleigh Girls "Ascended" and then found themselves desperate for the "Pit Book" afterward!
Beth...perhaps there is another chapter to the Psalms of Ascent....
