We ask The Father for sunshine and protection and to allow HIS word to go forth from Beth's and Curtis' lips.

Take care of them, Abba as they tell your truth!!

Had a prayer answered myself today. I prayed "Please Jesus help me" & immediately that stopped up commode I had been plunging off & on all afternoon got unstopped. Not sure if it was because I said it in a whiny voice & He didn't want to have to listen to that any more or because He took pity me or because I finally called out to Him. What ever, it felt like a miracle to me!!! Praise the Lord!!!

I just happen to think...when you go meet your new neighbors, remember to leave Beckham home!!(so as not to repeat the 'incident' from your old place!!)

Also, how is married life treating Mr and Mrs. Fitzpatrick?!

Thank you for sharing your lives with us!!

Richest blessings!

Beth...I have to tell you I am a Houstonian..grew up here...blah blah blah. I have gone to church here all my life...Second Baptist, now Williams Trace Baptist. For SOOOO many years I would hear people talk about you...Beth Moore this, Beth Moore that... have I done a Beth Moore study? (no, I would nod) No, haven't. Huh, you have? OK...I get it you loved her and the study ok ok ok. Beth Moore on and on. I would not say, but would think to self ...what is the big deal??? How can one girl and her studies be so chat worthy??? I have to say I had sort of an eye rolling attitude. I heard you speak at your dad's funeral at our church (my husband sang btw) and you were fun to listen to and darling to look at...but still I wondered (and scoffed) when people foamed at the mouth about Beth Moore Beth Moore. UNTIL NOW BETH MOORE. I just completed "Living Beyond Yourself" with a group of women at my church. NOW I GET IT. OH MY! WOMAN. I cannot cannot cannot tell you how I enjoyed that study. Loved the homework, loved the video, loved it ALL. In the middle of that I hauled my 21 year old daughter over to First Baptist to hear a session of Breaking Free...we both loved it and Beth this daughter, well, it was so awesome that she agreed to go. Anyhoo BETH MOORE... I just had to tell you my story. I have a dear dear friend and we call each other WUH, short for WOMAN. Wuh is our all encompassing word for women that we could be friends with "she's definetely a wuh" we say. OR NOPE, not a wuh, she's too this or that....but just so you know, YOU are a wuh. I am leading the Patriarchs in the fall...And now that I am on the BETH MOORE bandwagon I want to work for you, be on your praise team, read every book, girl I am a fan. Your willingness to submit to God in ministry has His annointing all over it. God bless you in all that you do. And please visit my blog sometime when you are bored...I'd love to have you visit. popcornspage.blogspot.com I wrote some about how the "Beyond" study was affecting me. I hope you personally really do read this post...:)I'm sure you'll get a huge kick out of it.

Tell your Mom that It's been raining over here all night (it started around 6 and it's now 9). Anyway, when it started raining I thought about her and hoped that she wasn't getting any rain. =)

And too cool that she texts!!

Amen that God has held the rain for you guys!

Bewildered,
Keep praying. Cry out to Him and He will listen and answer--even if the answer is no or wait. He hears you, Bewildered. "Pray without ceasing" 1 Thess. 5:17. (I'm so glad your toilet becamse unclogged). He heard you and answered.

Hey Amanda - I have a question and am not sure if this blog is the best place to ask it. If it's not, please just delete. Here's the query: if there was a group of ladies - most of them a bit older, say in their 60's - who were going to do a Bible study written by Beth - and if these ladies by and large were relatively new belivers, which study would you - and maybe other Siestas - recommend?

Thanks,
Warm in Alaska

(and no worries if you feel the blog site isn't the best place to handle this question)

Psalms 5:12 "For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass (surround) him as with a shield."
Praising God for this praise report. Isn't texting the best? May God continue to bless this Bible study.
I'm wondering when Esther will be out? Our ladies will be doing a new study in the fall and I'm trying to think and plan ahead. Do you know that yet?
Thanks and tell your mom we love her and are praying.
Love,
Valerie

The Journey Continues ~

HEY BETH, AMANDA, CURTIS & LPM SIESTA'S!

The only way to get yourself out of the fog is to rise above it!

I highly recommend learning how to TEXT MESSAGE if your child is atleast a teenager.

You will be amazed at how quickly they respond to you! Also,

I recommend that all of us teach our children budgeting skills and dating skills. Children learn how to Read,Write,Math,but don't learn the skills of dating and money!
My husband and I have been teaching these skills for many years at NO CHARGE! My husband owned a National Bank and also Produced and Directed for FOX!
We began teaching our children money skills when they were toddlers and able to put money in the offering plate at church. We had 3 little jars for them.
(1) GOD MONEY ~ tithe
(2) SPENDING
(3) SAVING
we gave them 3 quarters every Friday morning and explained how each quarter would grow if they were good stewards of their money.
they are now at universities studying law and medicine.
Dave and I taught our friends and churches around the state how to use a budget " we call it" the envelope system. IT WORKS SIESTAS!!!
Cell Phones & Text messaging can become PRICEY if you don't set a standard.
There is hope in your future if God is in your present!
Be a good steward of your family, money and cell phones!
With "Heaven Bound" blessings,
Kim & Dave

Praise God! In NC, we have been praying for rain, so it has felt weird to be praying for no rain for your Mom! But God has answered our prayers in both locations: It rained all night here in NC, and no rain where your Mama is! Only God is worthy to be praised!!!!

I am so happy that the first day went well and clearly had God's finger print on the whole day. It's raining here in SC where I live. So...praying that the second day is just as good for your Mom. I can't wait to see the videos and to think my prayers had a small inpact! PRAISE HIM, PRAISE HIM!!!!

Woohoo for no rain and answered prayers. Prayers that the weather held back for the tapings today and tomorrow as well.


I might be the only one who finds this funny but.....

When I read this post my first thought was that song, " Praise God from whom all blessings flow" but in this case the blessing was it didn't flow. AMEN!

Just one question.... How in the world does ONE stay even remotely slender in The South? The food is SO yummy..... and I just know I couldn't stop myself from eating seconds, thirds, and even fourths....
Ahhhh! Anyhow, getting back on Track.... Praise God for NO Rain (and Thank you Jesus for the Yummy Southern Green Fried Tomatoes!)

Beth, I personally wrote to you and your staff, not too long ago, concerning some fiery trials my family is going through. Your assistant, Nancy, wrote back also and shared with me how much II Corinthians 4 has meant to you. I went back and checked this scripture out and found a personal note I had written in the margin of my Bible back in 4-10-92. Verses 15-18 enlightened me! I had written in my notes that our children, at that time, needed shoes and we were waiting on our income tax refund! At church we are doing "Stepping Up" and I am on Day 2 of Week 5. "If we put our hope in what His Word says is true, we can pray with absolute-if tearful-expectation that our God is coming! To God Be The Glory!
