Siesta Fiesta Registration
Ladies, the Siesta Fiesta is less than four months away! We are getting super excited about it.
I need you to know that we had a little problem with our Siesta Fiesta registration. Remember how we had all of you who were going to attend send an email with your contact info to a certain address? Well, unfortunately, all of that information was swallowed up in a black hole. Let me put this in Jackson terms: Bye bye contact info. All gone. Yes, there was weeping and gnashing of teeth. We are so sorry.
The good news is, there is plenty of time to start over. Between now and July 22 (one month before the conference), we desperately need all of our blog readers who are going to attend the Living Proof Live event in San Antonio, Texas, on August 22-23, 2008, to re-register for the Siesta Fiesta.
Here are some details for you.
WHO: LPM Blog readers + Beth, Amanda, and hopefully Melissa
WHAT: An LPM blog reader meet-up following the Living Proof Live event in San Antonio, Texas
WHEN: August 22-23, 2008
WHERE: The Alamodome
WHY: So that we can fellowship with our siestas in person!
HOW: Registration is now closed.
*In August, everyone who has registered for the Siesta Fiesta will receive an arm band that will get them into a reserved seating section. (This is in addition to the arm band you will receive when you register for the conference itself.) About an hour after the conference ends on Saturday, we will have a reception on-site at the Alamodome with all the Siestas. We absolutely cannot wait to meet everyone! We will be in touch with more details in early August.
*Two siestas, Patty and Kim, have created a blog to help the siestas communicate with each other about the weekend. Thanks, ladies! Patty and Kim are not employed by LPM or by LifeWay, but we do think they are amazing women. We're grateful that they are helping everyone make the most of their opportunity to fellowship with each other during the big weekend. Visit www.thesiestafiestablog.blogspot.comto see what they have going on.
I think that's about it for now! We can't wait to meet you!
P.S. Leave us a comment after you've registered!

I am really excited about coming! I am all registered! This is going to be awesome!
OH YEAH, I did it again!!! And called my friend who is going with me.
And I see my Siesta friend (HI ANGELA!!!) from Washington has already done it too. First one on the list. Way to go Angela! BTW, Angela and I have never met, but we started emailing each other through this blog and now she and her friend and me and my friend are staying in a suite in San Antonio. How cool is this! I'm so excited, my stomach is all fluttery!!!
Excited and Happy Melana in (wet) Wyoming!
BOO-YOW!!!
I am ecstatic and already have the proverbial ants in my pants.
YEA! All registered! Now I just need to FIND my wristband for the event. Oh bless. It could be anywhere!!
Ahhh.. you aren't going to have a Siesta Fiesta at the Boise event by any chance are you? Because I'm attending that one - and how fun it would be to get together backstage!
how much is the event?? i really want to come!!!!
I am so excited! Every time I think about getting to go, I jump around like an 8 year old going to a Hannah Montana concert! I registered, and all my best girlfriends are registering because we are caravan-ing it down from Edmond, Oklahoma! Absolutely cannot wait! I get to see Beth Moore, I get to see Beth Moore! YAY!
Gina
Edmond, OK
I just registered! My daughter and I will be there. Yeah....I can't wait. It's going to be so much fun to meet everyone. I hope Melissa can come too.
Thanks for everything!
Love,
Valerie
Hey AJ,
I have re-registered. I have a question though. KAye my BFF is in a wheelchair. Will the special section be acessable to her? I asked this when I registered but it got lost. :0
Thanks!
I registered!! Thank you Beth, Amanda and Melissa!! You all are the best!!!
Love,
Patty
The cost of the Living Proof Live event is $55, but there is no cost to register for the Siesta Fiesta. If anyone has concerns about the cost of the event, please email us at blog@lproof.org.
Blessings,
AJ
I just registered!! Woohoo!!!!
I would really want to come, but, don't have anyone to come with. Would it be weird to come alone? (kinda like going to prom alone?) Are others of you coming alone?
I wish I could be there!
My friend Shannon is going with me to the conference so I just registered as well!
You can't imagine how much I wish that I could be there with my siestas. Please receive a double portion for me. I love you all so much although I don't know you personally. Yall truly add blessing to my life. Love, Dee
I am registered, and done! Woo-hoo! I am so looking forward to this! I can't wait to meet everyone!!!
Registered! So looking forward to meeting my siestas!
p/s Thank you again Sherry!!
I AM REGISTERED!!!!! I CAN NOT BELIEVE WE WILL MEET IN JUST 4 SHORT MONTHS... I just finished Stepping Up...Oh I can't tell you how perfect His timing is and HOW MUCH I HAVE GROWN...SOWING SEEDS WITH HIS MERCY!
Love all you, and em just too exstatic for words :)

Oh! I am so excited!!
I have a ticket, a plane ticket and a hotel room...now what do I do to contain the anticipation before then??
I cannot wait to meet each Siesta. Praying even now for all the ladies to be healthy and ready to receive the hand-made Word from God for them. mmm. ahhh!
Oh anonymous, don't worry about coming alone. With Jesus, you are NEVER alone...and I will be so happy to meet you and find you to come go around with the three of us from Colorado! Please come to this event...it will be so grand to have you!
Just email me at my blog, OK?
Oh what I would give to come! But I don't think I can manage the airfare!!
That is the weekend of my birthday so maybe I should drop some big hints to my hubs!!!
I fell in love with San Antonio last summer during the souther baptist convention. What a wonderful city!!
GOT 'ER DONE.
Can't wait.
:-)
Okay - I'm pouting big time. I can't go - huge Waah's for me! But I WILL be going to the Living Proof Live in Boise in a few weeks. Do I get a consolation prize??? I want to meet Beth, Amanda and Melissa too!!
DONE!! Can't wait. It should be so much fun!!
Leah
Well, in the words (and actions) of my 3 year old....
NOT FAIR! (lip sticking out and arms crossed over chest)
I would love to be there, but I can't really get there from here. I'll be in a bad mood all that weekend probaly. :)
We are all anticipation!!! :)

I'm writing my own lamentations because I live to far away to join you all! I am so, so , so jealous!
Have fun at the conference everyone!
I'm all re-registered! I can't wait to be there. I'm looking forward to a great time with the rest of the Siestas!
YIPPEE
I am looking forward to it!
It is going to be so much fun to hug all of my Siestas in person!
God bless,
Kim
If I weren't already registered for the Deeper Still conference in June, I'd probably sign up for this one. Wish I could do both. Next year.
I'm in...and can't wait.
Blessings,
Corrie
I can't wait!!! All registered and wishing it was
this weekend! Karen
I am so glad this is going to be so much fun...BUT..I can't go because of nursing school!
I don't think it's very becoming of a 49 year old child of GOD to have a "godly child tantrum"..:-)
I'll be in nursing school..but I'll be praying for you all.
Love,
Teri
I wish I could make it there! But, since I can't maybe I will be able to be a part of one when you come up to Billings Montana. :) Here's hoping!
Mmm...not to sound like a 10 year old, but...are we there yet? :)
Registered! And looking forward to this weekend!
Anticipating Him!
steph.
I can't wait to meet everyone!! I signed up right away months ago when you all first announced it and have been wondering if the idea had gone away. I'm so glad we are really doing this.

righty-o: I am trying not to have a premenopausal panic attack (those are particularly irksome) but I've tried to register to the Siesta Fiesta and I can't complete it because it's not recognizing my zip code, nor my state, as I am in England!! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! (Jackson, help me out here and wail on top of your lungs!!) I'm already registered for the event itself, but I can't possibly miss the Siesta Fiesta!!!! heeeeelp AJ, heeeeeeeelp!!!
maria cristina
ps my email is
mcb@simonefix.com
all registered and ready to go with my mom and sister!! Praise the Lord for family in Christ that is also family!!
Ok - I've registered for Siesta Fiesta!!!!!!!!!!! I still have to register for the conference. It's kind of scary to think I'll fly all the way out there all by myself. :-ss
Oh wait, I have a question!
Is there an approximated ending time for the siesta fiesta on Saturday? I know that may be really too much to ask a fellow planning siesta at this point, but I was trying to determine what time would be safe to fly out of San Antonio that day!
Done, now I just need to get my ticket to the conference. Thanks for all you do. Can't wait to meet all of you.
I am sooooooo excited. I cannot wait to connect with all of you. It is going to be a blast!! One Happy Siesta!!!!
Oh, so much pain! I want to come too! Can't make it to TX this time though. You can visit me on my blog though to say hi and tell me how much fun you had.
Have a great time everyone!

Sorry I can't be there!!:( I know it will be fun to meet in person!! Thankfully I was a LPL in Jax in March:)
I am so excited for this.
Have blessed day.

Oh, I so wish I could go. But I will be praying for you all. (and I'll be at Louisville and at Deeper Still in Atlanta. So I can't complain.)
Yeah! I registered! I've read the blog for a long time but have only commented once or twice and always anonymous.
Done!
There several of us coming from Hoover, Alabama and we can't wait!
Texas is my home and I can't wait to be back. I already can taste the Mexican food on the riverwalk!
Yeehaw!!
Brittnie
I am so excited I can barely stand it! I did not realize the siesta fiesta was in San Antonio!!!!!!!!!!! Yay! I am registered. I am going to have to start reading the comments more now. :) I was trying not to waste time but now it is important! :)
Going, going, GOING!
Oh, and registered, too. :)
Anon -- I'm coming alone, too! It won't be weird at all to be by yourself. :)
Done! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!
It's just around the corner, but I'm ready NOW! I can't wait to meet everyone.
Bobbie
Mukilteo, WA
I'm registered! I simply can not wait! :)
Blessings on you Teri! I can totally relate with Nursing school! I'll keep you in my prayers!
See you in August ladies! :)
Whoo hooo! I am sooo excited! Cant' believe it is only 4 months away....it seems like forever ago that we registered.
I cannot wait to meet everyone!! Party time in SA!! :)
Siestas!
How I wish I could be there! My twins will be starting kindergarten and August is a big "first everything" month for us! Hopefully I will make it next year!
My love to you all!
Donna (the mom of twin boys)
Woo Hoo! I'm looking forward to it!
Allyson
All registered and am so excited. Been on the phone with other siestas making plane/hotel plans. WoHOO!
And, of course, come by yourself! Holly beat me to saying you can come hang with us CO girls... She's pretty speedy!
Joanne
I am totally bummed that I can't be there. We'll be taking our oldest to college for the first time. Maybe, we could pull up...slow down...open the door...push him and his stuff out and make a bee-line for the airport? JK. Sort of. Okay, I earned the right to make a scene when I leave him behind and drive off. Didn't I? It's gonna kill me. I'm not sure I'd be great company if I even COULD get to the event on time.
What are the plans for the Second Annual Siesta Fiesta? I AM ALL OVER THAT!!!
I am so ready!!!! Thanks for this blessing!
Joyfully,
Kristi
Okay I am so going... I can do this right.... I mean I am 30 I can fly by myself and all that good stuff.. Yeah I can do this.
okay i want to go... i am gonna do it..
I'm so excited LPM Ladies! I am so excited. You guys are so amazing to allow us this special opportunity.
Blessings
Any chance for a pre-Siesta Fiesta in Louisville? I bought my ticket LAST JUNE! (CAN WE SAY JESUS and BETH FREAK?) Beth, can we at least have a mini fiesta? Any siestas that are going to Louisville let me and Beth know. Amanda, if your mom won't listen to me maybe you can convince her. After all I share a birthday with precious JACKSON. Hope to see all my siestas AUG. 1st. LOVE, LINDA
Hoping to work it out...stayed at the St Anthony last summer...love the Riverwalk! Hope to see you.
Anonymous at 1:02pm. You can pal around with us if you want. We're kind of crazy but it's a good kind of crazy. You HAVE to come, even if it's alone!!! I was planning on coming with my daughter and she decided to get married (May 24). So she wants to stay with her hubby and use her leave time for a honeymoon. (Where are her priorities!!!) Anyway, I was planning on driving the 21 hours alone, but one of my bestest buds from church is going with me. We will be at the Billings event in September too, cuz it's only 2 hours away. We are sooooo excited. I think I've said that a couple of times already....But I am!!!
Melana in Wyoming
I'm registered and cannot wait!!!
Hey! I am soooo excited about this:) Can't wait to meet fellow siestas face to face! Thanks so much!
Beth, AJ and Melissa,
I am so blessed to be spending such a time as that particular weekend with my Siestas from the LPM Blog.
I have shared this before and won't be mentioning it again as most of the Siestas familiar with me know my story. Still, I am marking two very special occasions of my life that weekend. August 22nd will be my 10th wedding anniversary to the man who has taught me so much about love and drove straight back to th arms of my Savior for ultimate love lessons of my life.
The other occasion is August 23rd- I have found the joy of the Lord in my season of grief, but still each year marking the day my oldest child went home to be with Lord gives me pause. He passed two years ago and I have personally written letters to Beth previously about that testimony. It has been Beth's teachings and ministry that have helped prepare me for this season of my life. The strong foundational truth's I learned in study leading up to those months in 2005.
It is a time that will mark great change in my life as my mentoring group for bereaved moms kicks off at my church this fall. It is a divine appointment that I am anxiously and eagerly anticipating. I love ya'll and thank my God for you everyday.
I am registered. I am so so so excited... I am also coming alone! School of course starts the week of the event, so my huby will be doing it alone for that Friday. Pray Y'all School transitions are so hard! Tiff
Bring it on!!! I am soo there!!!
Can not wait!!!
See you soon dear ladies!!!
Nikki
Registered! Can't wait!
Tell 'anonymous' to come! Yes, people will be coming alone! You won't be alone when you get there -- you're a Siesta!!
Can. Not. Wait!
WAHOO! So happy I will be able to experience LPL in August! Beth, God has spoken to me through you in so many ways during so many of your studies. Praise God for using you as such a willing and powerful vessel to spread the Good News!
Registered...gotta check with the rest of the gang and see how many others I can drag along! Possibly 4 maybe 5 of us! It will be grand!
Hi Amanda,
WHOO HOO! I am registered! Can't wait to see you and Beth and maybe Melissa (I hope she gets to come) and all my siestas in just 113 days! Two of my Hartselle, AL siestas and I will be there with bells on. Gotta go and tell them to be sure and register. See you soon! Hope this isn't a duplicate. My original post didn't appear to go through, but if duplicated, I'm just doubly excited!
Love ya,
Dianne
DID IT!! I am all registered and so are my mom and sister that lives in San Antonio! I wouldn't miss this for the world!! We cannot wait!
Sacha
I am so there and registered. Can't wait!!
I am so excited. I am in, have my ticket, hotel and just need to get a plane resveration. It will be so good to get to meet so many of you that I have enjoyed getting to know and feel connected to through this blog.
Wendy
Memphis, TN
I am SO excited! Already have hotel room and flight! Just re-registered! YEAH! Can't wait to HUG everyone and put faces with blog names!
Love you all! Emmy : )
CALLING HOUSTON AREA SIESTA WILLING TO BAKE A COBBLER!!!!!!!!
I need your help! It's sort of a long story, but I need a cobbler...well, not just any cobbler, my cobbler...delivered to a Houston area brother (miesta?) in need of some TLC. I thought about mailing one...but even by overnight that just seems gross. Don't you agree? Anyway...if you live in the Houston area and would be willing to bake and deliver a cobbler...wow! Would I ever be thankful! I'll pay for every little step you take in this endeavor...and pitch in a little extra to get your toes done after the task is done!
Anyone willing? Shoot me an email!
Big big hugs...
Oh! And I'm TOTALLY coming to Siesta Fiesta! Are you kidding? I'm in like jelly shoes in 1985!
:(
I'm sad because I can not attend in August!! I would have loved to have met all my siestas!! Hopefully, there will be other opportunities!
We have registered!
Kathy & Kathy
yeaaaaa! I'm all registered... and ready for it to all to happen!!!!!
Georgia :o)
I'm registered. Can't wait to meet everyone!
so sad... no way I will be near San Antonio at that time.
Any chance of a Nashville Fiesta??
Done - have 8 tickets, but some are flaking out on me - so, have no idea how many I will bring - but I will SOOOOO be there!
Just a quick question - what if we are coming with a church group or friends who are not siestas? Can we just sit with them and then come to the reception afterwards?
Registered! YAY!
Crying ................ just can't get there then and I sooooo want to. BUT, am going to be a part of the satellite hook-up for the Living Proof event in Louisville, Kentucky on August 1-2 AND going to see you in September when you, Priscilla Shirer and Kay Arthur are in Las Vegas in Sept. (already have my bracelet for that event)sooooo, I am grateful that I will get to enjoy your words from Heaven at those events. Sure would love to be a part of the more intimate event and get to meet fellow bloggers ...........next time. Will be looking forward to hearing all about it from all of my fellow siesta's that will be able to be there.
Loving you all
I can not wait! God can't wait either to bless every single siesta that will be there....AND I will be one of those siestas! Hallelujah!
I have been ready since August 30, 2007 when I bought my tickets! Praise the Lord~ Praise the Lord! If I don't die of excitement I will be there with joy unspeakable and full of His glory!
Love you Siestas!! jan
Thank the Lord for this blog...
Unless God intervenes, I won't be going to the Siesta Fiesta or the conference in Billings this year. But you all will be there and can fill us stuck-at-home siestas in on all the excitement!
It will be almost as good as being there...well not quite almost, but I accept what I'm being given!!
Love and Fun to you all (whether you are going or not)!
Tammy in Montana
I'd love to come from the UK as we here also love Beth and all of you to bits, but I've never been to teh States before and wouldn't know which hotels are near the venue/airport. Which airport? I'd hope to get a friend who was able to come with me. Do you give such info. so that I could book something? Can anyone out there help me please?
Many, many thanks,
Pam
See you then! Can't wait to meet everyone. My friend Carolyn in coming with me. This is going to be a Siesta blast!
Love you!
Mary
Brazil bound today. Please pray for us.
I registered back in the beginning and am lost in the black hole! :) Now I cannot come since we will be birthing a baby GIRL (after 2 boys) or will have just birthed a baby GIRL (I'm a little nervous!) So I'm very sad to not be there but very excited to meet the little one that God will bless our family with. Pray for a safe delivery and healthy mom and baby! I'll miss meeting you all! This must be done again ... I promise I will not be preggers or birthing a child for the next one !!!!
Wish I could go, but I know you will all be richly blessed!!!!
I just about cried reading this. I want to be there sooooooo bad. I've just got to pray that you guys will do something similar in NC real soon so I can be a part of that. CINDY in HIGH POINT, NC
I am so sad that we can't be there! I really hope that the Siesta Fiesta will be an annual event and we can come to another one. Know that we will be praying for all our Siestas and will be with you in spirit!!!
Sister Lynn
My 3 daughters and I will be there and we are very excited. We love to start the day checking on all our siestas. Paula-Sonny-Cassie-Franki Taylor
Amanda,
Quick question! I am bringing my mom to the event with me..her very first women's conference! Praise the Lord!!
Anyway, she is not a "Siesta" but can I bring her with me to the Fiesta? I already registered for the event and got my armband for the both of us.
Thanks... and still soooo excited! :)
I SO wish I could be there. I don't have a blog, but I read so many of yours that I feel like I know you. Yes, I know that's weird, and I'm sorry. I already am going to LPL event in Louisville Aug. 1-2. I'm taking a group of ladies from my church who have never seen Beth before. I can't wait for it, but I will be thinking about all of you blogging siestas and wishing I were in San Antonio with you!
Hey Sisters Thanks for the prayers for my Grandmother who has lung cancer. She's gained five pounds while living with my parents. Keep praying for the Lord to Heal her. Her name is Evelyn. I love Her she's a great Lady. I want the Lord to show Himself mighty to her and How much He loves Her. I love my Blog Sisters and appreciate your support. I really wish Icould come and meet ya'll as soon as I finish Nursing school I will.
Love your Sister in Christ
Sue
I wish I could be there I would love to meet everyone of my siesta,s. Maybe when we do this again It will be closer to me and I can go. I will be praying for each of you who are attending. Love
Cindi
Woo Hoo! I'm registered!
Siestas -
I am feeling the pain of the others that cannot attend, because I will not be able to either. Trying not to pout, cry or feel sorry for myself. Have a wonderful time everyone and let us know the details of the trip. I mean D-E-T-A-I-L-S!
Love and Blessings, Debbie in Tennessee
Registered and cannot wait!!!
You all are awesome!!!
Awww... Wish I could be there. This year has been so full of trips already and we still have several more to come, so I couldn't possibly make it. :o(
I'll just have to give you all and my fellow Siesta's cyber hugs instead.
Sigh.
Dear Anonymous, please don't fear going to an LPL event alone. I did it once and found that GOD was very much a part of orchestrating it. It was hard to do, but the Lord provided me with wonderful ladies to fellowship and worship with. It ended up seeming like a special "date" with the Father.
Much love and more than a little wistfulness...
Anna in MO
One more comment to "Anonymous" who was worried about coming alone...
I went to the LPL in Baltimore several years ago alone. We'd just moved to No.VA and I didn't know a soul... Took the train up from DC, spent the night in a hotel by myself... it was truly a precious time. Dear friend... you're never alone. And, you'll have your SIESTAS!! I may be there alone too... maybe we can hook up!
It would be so nice to jet off to Texas for a girls weekend, but sadly motherhood, celebrating my 16th wedding anniversary, school starting and budget restraints because of school starting (wink) won't allow it.
I'll be at Deeper Still in Atlanta and LPL in Louisville, though, and I can't wait.
Okay Siesta Fiesta attenders -- don't brag too much! You know there are alot of us Siests who would be there if we could!! :)
Blessings,
Dori
What a great idea! Can't wait for the conference, I will be celebrating my "50th" birthday with my girlfriends at your conference!
Lynn
Houston
My name is Rhonda and I live in New York State. Oh, I wish I could come to Texas and meet all of you! My daughters and I just finished Beth's Study "John the Beloved Disciple" - what a blessing. I have never been to Texas and due to finances, not much traveling the past 2 years.
May the Lord bless all of you Siestas
YOU ARE AWESOME!
PS - Beth - I was born in 1957. What a comfort to learn you turned, (ahem) 50 last year along side myself!!!!
Registered!! Done!! Ready to pack!
Ready to celebrate Jesus with some Siestas!!!
Blessings in Christ--
Amanda, What do you mean, "hopefully Melissa"...of course I am coming, I wouldn't miss it for the world. Stop spreading slanderous lies about me. hehe. :)
Seriously, can't we have a little gathering at Starbucks in Minneapolis???? The weekend before????? Cuz that's where I'll be. North!! Come on...just one latte????
OH MY GOODNESS! I"m so excited! I can't believe a Siesta reunion of sorts! I grew up in a little town Southwest of San Antonio (Uvalde), so SA and the Riverwalk are like home for me. Now that I live in the Panhandle, I LOVE going "home" any chance I get! Woo hoo!!
All done! Can't wait to meet everyone in person.
To my siesta Dianne from Hartselle, Alabama!! This is Patty from Tennessee. My WOW sisters!! I saw your comment and sweet picture and I need you to email me if you read this!! I was so blessed to run into you at Deeper Still in Nashville and I will never forget meeting my sweet W.O.W. sisters at the LPL in Knoxville!! I am so excited you will be in San Antonio!!
Love,
Patty
I am registered and waiting on the edge of my seat for August to get here. Can't wait - it's going to be great.
Julie
Dallas, TX
I registered yesterday but I am bringing two with me - DO I need to put in there individual names also? Thanks, Can't Wait!!!!
Check! This is going to be a blast! Can't wait to meet everyone!
Amy in OK
OH how I wish I could be there. I will be praying for each and every one of you as you fellowship together. I may have to pray more for myself that I don't spend the time in a full-blown jealousy fit, but prayers are prayers, right? :)
Loved Melissa's post....so glad you all get to be together that weekend. PLEASE take lots of pictures and give lots of details so I feel like I am there.
And I am with those asking, "Is there a second annual siesta fiesta in the plans...because I want to be there!!!!!!!!
Blessings to you all!

Paige
Who else is in Alabama??? email me cathy.m.davis@gmail.com and let's chat!
In my first post I sounded so "godly and dignified"...or something like that but actually:
I'M NOT! I want to have a child of GOD temper tantrum and lie on the floor on my back and kick and scream and cry until I get my way - as in "no nursing school starting back until Sept. and I get to go to San Antonio!"
Unfortunately, that won't work and I don't even think it would be a good idea to start that with HIM. That "getting my way" was something HE has already dealt with me on - several times.
SOOOOO......Will you guys please remember all of us who feel like everybody gets to go to the prom except us?
Pray for us and maybe stand and call out our names...instead of in memory...in honor of...:-)
Love you guys...glad you get to go and have fun and meet Beth and AJ and Melissa (who's been slandered..haha) and everyone else.
Love all of you..praying that it's everything you imagine!
Teri
So laughing - caught Melissa's comment that she is coming - slanderous lies indeed! Too funny!
Amanda - second the "what if folks are coming that are not siestas? I know my firends will understand the seating thing - but, just want to second the asking anyway - this could get WAY out of control for you all and stressful - so, we will all be cool and kind, if seating is only for those who have registered!
After all, we siestas are a Godly lot!
ALSO - I am a photographer and PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can I take shots there OR will I be kicked out as a rabble rouser???? I would NEVER publish any shots to make money as I know Lifeway and LPM are the publishing photo gurus, but how can one attnd and not take a few pics? You know cell phone pics will so happen - but I have a "regular" camera . . . let me know please!
I just read every comment and feel better that there are lots of seistas like me that can't make it. Maybe we should come up with a support group blog for those that are wrking hard at being jealous for you not of you. J.K. ;-) I had planned to do whatever it took to go alone to a city and state I have never been to so I could meet up with a bunch of people I have never met. Then I found out there was an event in my neck of the woods (Billings, MT) the very next month so I just couldn't justify the expense, being away from kids etc. Even if it is not organized by LPM....maybe us Billings seistas should plan a get-together of sorts.

Anonymous,
Just so you know, I'm coming alone too! I finally decided to buck up and do it! I'm already praying for a friend!!
Shauna

Deanna

I will be praying for all of you though, that God moves in a wonderful new way in your lives. I know He will. How exciting!!

Oh Ladies,
This is going to be great. I have registered and I am ready for Texas. I am a native California gal, and I can't wait to be in Texas and experience this event with all my siesta's. To one of my siesta's who mentioned she is coming all by her lonesome, I can't wait to meet you, I will be by myself as well.
Thank you Beth, Amanda & Melissa
Love your,
Southern California Siesta,
Celeste
Looking forward to it! Signed up & bringing a group of gals from Second for this fun weekend! See y'all soon! - Shannon
Melissa,
I'm so glad you're coming!
What fun we're all gonna have!
I feel like I've know your family for years. It'll be like one big family reunion!!!
Love,
Valerie
This is my first time to leave a comment! Yea! My wonderful sister-in-law registered us for the conference as my birthday gift. I just signed my two sister-in-laws and myself up for the siesta fiesta! I wasn't sure if I counted as a siesta as I have just been reading the blog for a couple of weeks, but my sister-in-law Amy assured me that I do. I've done some back reading during some sleepless nights, and I can't wait to meet you siestas!
To His Daughter I will pray for you to finish Nursing School and you pray for me. I got four kids I'm attempting to do this with It's the math and being at the bottom of the totem pole . I'm praying for the Lord to help me test out of some of the remedial Math . Started a semester of Pre-reqs and had to sit out a semester with my kids and their troubles with their schooling. I'm determined to finish it. It's my heart Desire to be a Nurse and be able to pray for them while caring for them.(I'm like 40) now which is like the norm for Ladies in my age bracket. Kids came first . they are 14,12, 10, 7. Lord Keep them healthy so I can finish I need a miracle, I trust in you though!
Love your Sister in Christ
Sue M.
OK I registered for Siesta Fiesta... the latter will come!!! Thanks for the updates! I am getting prepared!
Doesn't Hezekiah 4:14 say "It's okay to throw a respectful fit if you are gonna miss the Siesta Fiesta!"
No? Well, maybe it's later in the chapter... :)
Will be praying for siestas that weekend. From home [sigh].
Do not know exactly where I will be in August but I felt led to sign up. I know God will find a way for me to come to TX
All registered, I am so blessed I get to come with my two daughters and one of my best friends we are so excited, can't wait to meet everyone!
Yeah, I'm in! Just registered and booked my room at the Marriott.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!!

Okay, maybe this isn't the time or the place, but as a fellow siesta, I thought this might add a little humor to your day. We're finishing the Tabernacle Bible Study tonight at my church and it's my night to bring snacks, so I made some little Arks of the Covenant out of graham crackers (think gingerbread house) complete with the budding rod (cow tail with icing dots) Ten Commandments (Hersheys Special Dark) and manna (lemon icing blob). On top, I glued yellow fruit loops to the four corners with lemon icing and put skewers through them for the poles and the mercy seat is two lemon gummy wedges facing each other. I have lost my mind! But man, they are the cutest things.
I'm registered and ready. My siesta and I can't wait to arrive. I am so excited about the meet and greet. It just keeps getting better and better. Any chance that Travis and the gang can meet with us too?
Theresa (Alabama Siesta)
We have signed up and are so excited about attending. Looking forward to meeting all my Siesta's.
WoW! I am so excited!. I registed early this morning posted but it looks like it did not go through. Two of my siesta are coming so we are the three muskateers and we are pumped! Can't wait for the conference and the reunion. Blessings on all who are planning and making this happen! Whoo hooo Whooo hooo hooo!
Love you Beth!!!!!!
Sharron in Hartselle, Al
Was anyone else picturing the snoring sombrero while registering again??? LOL! I've booked my coming home from Germany around this Siesta Fiesta, I'm so excited to be with you all!!!!!!!!!!!
Me and my siiisssstttaas REGISTERED! I have read the blog for a year now and am looking forward to meeting all of you. YAY!!!
DEAR SUE M. WHO POSTED ANONYMOUS ABOUT NURSING SCHOOL AND THE MATH...
All of the women in my class over 40 are struggling with the math!
I will pray right now for you to be filled with miraculous knowledge so that you can comprehend the math.
IT WORKS- I prayed for that same thing when I knew I couldn't get through it and someone gave me some examples to go by and one night...IT CLICKED LIKE I HAD DONE IT ALL MY LIFE!
GOD IS AWESOME...HE CAN MAKE US SMARTER THAN WE ARE...believe HIM, Sue...
I am another blonder than she pays to be and if I can get it, anyone can!!
Praying for you, Sue,
Teri
I am so there! I am already counting the days!
I am coming alone also, but with all my siestas there, I know I won't be alone for long!
Shout out to Kim and Patty! Thanks for all you are doing and if you need help, let me know. Can't wait to see you both again!
Anyone coming in on Thursday? Would love to meet and pray over the event. I am staying at the Riverwalk Hotel. (thanks to Kim!)
Much love!
Kristi B.
My mom, sister, and I will be coming!!!! We are so excited to have a girl's weekend in San Antonio, let alone get to hear Beth "bring the Word," worship with Travis, and meet our Siestas. We are looking so forward to it already.
My Mom first introduced us to Beth's bible studies back in 1999... I was a newlywed and my sister was still in high school. God is so amazing in bringing full circle what began almost 10 years ago! I feel like we have grown up with your family- My Mom always said that Beth's stories of Melissa and Amanda reminded her so much of her two girls.
We are ecstatic to be able to meet you and hug your necks in August. Thank you for setting up this arrangement for us! I hope you will be doubly blessed for how you are blessing us!
Yippee! Can't wait. So glad it's close to me. I'm definitely coming Saturday for the Fiesta. Still trying to figure out how much of the whole event I can manage - my daughter's 13th birthday is the 22nd! The nerve! :-)
My mom called me at work the other day when she read the announcement..we are SO excited! Thanks for putting this together..I know it's been time consuming. Can't wait!
Kristen
Yay, Melissa IS coming!!
To "Yours in Christ" from the UK. If you go to Google Earth you can find the Alamodome and hotels that are nearby. You can also just "Google" HOTELS CLOSE TO THE ALAMODOME. Also on the part of LPM's website where you register for the event are lots of hotels listed. Most of them DO NOT have room left that were reserved for the event, but they may still have other rooms. As for airports, I don't know, but I bet you can find that online too. That's how I do most of my "shopping". Good luck and we sure hope you will be there!
Melana in Wyoming
BTW, to Sarah in Wyoming, where are you? We should meet up in Billings. I'm in Sheridan.
My reservations are made - YEAH!! I'm seeing Beth LIVE in June (Atlanta) and now in Texas. God is GOOD!!! Looking forward to meeting everyone and spending some time with my friends. Maybe, I can start going to EVERY conference...... just an idea! Kerin
I'm registered!! Yippeeeee!!!!! Can't wait!!
Terri Latham
I registered!
CAN NOT WAIT!!
Looking forward to it!!!
Sorry if this is the 2nd time this went through- I didn't know if it went through the 1st time.....
WHOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
My really good friend and I are going to make it!!! :)
From the time that I showed here the message on your blog at midnight last night to 8:30pm tonight, we have our plane tickets and hotel booked!!!
We are SOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!! And we weren't even sure if it would work out but Praise the Lord, it did!!!
I just finished with my womens Bible study group at church the Believing God study and my friend and I are going to do it before we go to San Antonio. :)
Thank you SOOOOO much for facilitating this ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS opportunity. I think there will be LOTS of tears of JOY!!!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU JESUS!!!!
Oh and one more thing..... I've been meaning to share this with you all and especially Melissa,... our youth pastor from our church took a senior pastorship up north but has a wonderful blog sight called Ephemeros. It is wonderful for the brainiac theologian (or wanna be- as it is in my case- ha!!). Hope you enjoy reading the many things he shares on that sight!!
Deb W. Grand Rapids, MI
P.S. My heart and prayers go out to all you ladies that can not make it. I understand first hand and will be thinking and praying for you often. Peace and Blessing to you all!!! :)
I am all registered and am BEYOND excited! Ecstatic! Thrilled! Enraptured! Somebody pinch me!
Counting the days,
Kristin in Austin
All registered...
I can not WAIT to put my arms around all your girls! Just trying to think of a cute way to display our blog names so it isn't so weird introducing ourselves. It was so embarassing telling people at Deeper Still, "Hi, I'm The Preacher's Wife."
So lame.
Anybody got cute name tag ideas??
Lisa
We ( me and my puzzlepiecesista) are so excited about coming to San Antonio! YahooYah!
Looking forward to it!
Love to all of you-
Can the staff from LPM come to? I want to hug on all of you!
Lisa
Kirkland, WA
I've officially registered!! Can't wait to meet all of you.
Much love,

Ladies,
I am so upset I cannot attend. This year is a challenge, because we are stating Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover, and it's my 10 year wedding anniversary, we are also starting the adoption process, so we are trying to weigh what we will be able to do this year. And since I live so far away from Texas, I'm in Maryland...
Anyway, I know you guys are going to have a ball! and recieve a wonderful word from the Lord on top of all that. Give extra big hugs for me!!!
We are resistered and Can't Wait!!!!
The Ladies from Marlow Baptist
Pitkin, Louisiana
Cannot wait until August.
I've only been reading the LPM blogs since Deeper Still Nashville last September and have only commented a few times. Each of you have added such daily blessing and encouragement in the faith to my life! I won't be there for the siesta fiesta but am looking to go back to Deeper Still in Atlanta. I would love to get to do this in the future if you all decide to do this again. I feel like I've got to be more than a "newby" to go. You all have a great time together! May the Lord bless you.
YEA!! I am sooo excited! Wonderful idea! Can't wait! Can you tell I'm fired up???
Registered! My BFF and I are going to make a long weekend of it. We already have our tickets, our hotel and our plane reservations. We don't leave until 6:25 that night.... so we will have plenty of time to visit with our "on-line sisters"!.. Can't wait!
Sorry, I wish I could be there. San Antone is a bit to far for this Nebraska Siesta. A live web cast would be a blessing? Just a little idea, the price for that might be out of this world. I will be attending in spirit and prayers! Love ya!
Lisa mentioned name tags and I wanted to say that Kim and I are going to make tags for those going. We are going to try and have the header in the name tag including your name and your blog's name and hopefully what state you are from. I know, how in the world are we going to make a name tag with all that without it being a HUGE name tag. In Jesus' name it will work. hehe
We will have a sample of the name tag on the blog as soon as possible!
YAHOOYAY!!! Registered!!! thank you sweet AJ for alllll your help in getting the out-of-country glitch sorted out so smoothly and quickly!! I am just so blessed to be able to participate... and I honestly canNOT wait to meet each and every one of you!
maria cristina :)

Oh! I sooo wish I was going! I was already depressed this morning. Now I'm even more depressed!
I can't believe I'm coming! YAY!!!
I'm going to have to practice all my Yee-Haw's and Howdy's before I get there!
Yahoo-jah!
I really wish I could be there :( sniff, sniff.
I wish you all a wonderful, fantabulously good time!!
Hug each other from me :)
Just registered and looking forward to it.
Thanks!
Hey Girls!
I'm registered & can't wait to meet you all. I was at the LPM event in CO Springs this weekend as well as the Lifeway Leadership convention. Way to bring the WORD Beth. The Lord spoke to me in a MAJOR way that I hope I'll get to tell you about in August. I can't wait to finally meet Amanda & Melissa too!! SOOOOOO excited...I have no ide who I'll bring but I bought an extra ticket because I'm sure going to bring someboday!
I'm late but I'm registered! And so is Gulley.
Can't wait.
The best part is that it's only ten minutes away from my house. Maybe I'll have everybody over for chips and queso.
Can't wait for San Antonio. The six of us who are coming are preparing our hearts for whatever the Lord has instore for us. What a weekend that will be. Phyllis
