Scripture Memory Competition Grand Prize Winner!
CALLING ALL SIESTAS: You don’t have to be part of our Siesta Summer Bible Study to memorize our Scripture segment for this summer. It’s Jude 1:24-25 because you and I want to make it through these three undisciplined months without falling on our behinds. By all means, everybody join us! And, trust me when I tell you, you SURE don’t have to be in the Bible study to get a kick out of the videos you’re about to see.
Speaking of which…
…Siestas, you nearly killed me. The videos were FANTASTIC! CREATIVE! FUNNY! To all those who submitted videos, you are the teacher’s pet! I have NEVER loved Siestaville more. You are the funniest people in the world. I have rocked back and forth, clapped my hands, slapped my knees, and over and over said, “Aren’t they DARLING???” Or, “Aren’t they willing????” I’m just crazy about you. Thank you so much for going to all the trouble to help your Siestas hide the Word of God in our hearts so that we might not sin against God. (Psalm 119:11) We want to seek You with all our hearts, O God. Do not let us stray from Your commands. (Psalm 119:10)
OK, here you have it: the grand prize winner of the 2008 Siesta Summer Bible Study Scripture Memory Competition!
That’s right. From Cool, California! And I know you think I was partial to them from the start because they had such a great city name but see for yourself. They did the work. And they can expect a care package in about a week from a very happy and grateful yours truly.
Here you also have the 1st Runner Up which I totally dug and these Siestas are from way outside the Bible belt. Way to go, Wyoming Siestas! Giddy up!
And, because I loved so many of them, I am going to post a different one every single week until the Bible study is over. That way you can 1) have creative and ongoing ways to practice your verse, and 2) see your Siestas’ handiwork. And know why I’m so in love with you right now. Again, these posts will be for all of Siestaville. You don’t have to be in the summer study to appreciate what you’re going to see.
Well. You danged well made my whole summer. And it started out a mighty painful one. May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ continue to make His Son the greatest joy in our whole worlds.
Because there ain’t no high like the Most High.
I love you. I really do.

oh my goodness..these are just too cute...I have that Calafornia song going through my head now and being a teacher I just loved the flip book...so creative... A+ siestas.
love you all
Tammy
I loved the flip book video! That was such a creative way of displaying our memory verse. Great job ladies.
BTW - I'm loving this bible study by Kelly. It's so convicting about the things in my life that are false gods/idols that I never stopped to think about. Great pick for the summer Mrs. Beth!
This is so great--thank you Beth for inspiring us to study and memorize God's Word. We are gonna have a blast when we all get together in Glory!!
Way Cool...California Girls WAS a favorite of mine...lol...honestly, very creative...way to go Cool Siestas!
I am SO GLAD that we get to see more videos! I am really digging NOG's and digging out my high places!
Wow I love these video's... I have all the Siestas in my prayres...

To the runners up, I heard that song the other day and SO thought of this Bible study and our homework. I love how people all over the world can be on the same wavelength!
[And congrats Cool siestas! Great job! Love the footwear. :D]
They were both so good, The margin had to be super small for a winner, because they were both awesome
Wow! I didn't know we had so many 1) smart; 2) creative; 3) fun-loving' 4) toe-tapping Siestas in Siestaville!
Now I have "The Beach Boys do the Book of Jude" song in my head,
Warm in Alaska.
Awesome Job Siestas!!!
Cool, CA that was way cool!! I love your great synchrination.
Cool Siestas, from Cool, CA.
Loved both videos.
Thank you for your hard work.
Love,
Mary
Congratulations, ladies! Your video rocked!
Those really are too cute. I can't wait to see more!
Happy 4th of July, LPM Siestas!
Lindsee
This was so cool!! Cool California you rock! I love the flip flop tapping, but my favorite was the middle Siesta who just couldn't get it together -- she's my very, very favorite. I love any sister who's just a bit different.
Y'all did great and Wyoming (which is the state i've always wanted to live in, don't ask why, I've never even been there) -- loved the flip book. So cute and creative.
OH MY!!!! It's 11:15, just got back from shooting off fireworks and I smell like smoke (reminds me of DANIEL, but I digress) and I don't dare try to call my siestas!!!! My BFF Veronica (zioncalling) who will be coming with me to SA, gets all the credit for the flipbook. I am soooo excited that we got runner up. (Does that come with a prize too?) :)
I don't know what you mean, outside of the Bible belt. Here in our little neck of the woods, in Sheridan, we have the full armor of God on, not just the belt!! We love, loving Jesus!!
Melana in (mighty happy) WYOMING!
Well, I was so self-absorbed with being runner-up, I forgot to say, Congratulations Cool Siestas!!!! It WAS pretty cool!
Melana in (still happy) Wyoming
Congratulations to the Siesta's in Cool, California and our Wyoming Siesta's. Awesome videos, loved the cute dancing flip flops and thought the book was so creative! What I truly love was the fun we all had participating in our videos and the joy we have in sharing them. Thanks for a great beginning to an incredible Bible Study. Study on Siesta's!!!
Love, Lori and Siesta's from RI
Oh my gosh, Cool California you ROCK! That was too funny and now i have that song in my head with new words to sing with! Awesome job!
a triple-cool hooray to the Cool California Girls! excellent video from Wyoming, too! Siestas, y'all are amazing!
mariacristina
Congrast Cool Sieistas! Love the flip flops!
Congratulations, Siestas from Cool, CA, and Wyoming! This is so fun.
Oh my goodness!!! What creativity!! What fun!!! I am so excited and blessed!!!
You siestas are the best!! I am doing "flips" because you are so "cool"!!!!
God bless all of my precious siestas in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
To HIM be all glory, praise, and majesty now and forever more!!!
AMEN (In a deep voice!)
Love you all!
Roxanne
PS When we all get together, what a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see JESUS, we'll sing and shout for victory!
Oh my goodness you Cool siesta's out there...THAT was hysterical. Totally entertaining. How awesome!
I am so impressed with the creativity of these women! Congratulations ladies!
THOSE ARE GREAT!!!!!
I can't wait to see some more!
blessings!

Hello
I really want to see the video but it is not showing up. Can you post a link to the video so I can see it!!
Congrats Ladies!
Aren't they so much fun! I love both of them! In answer to the question, YES, I do want to send a runner up prize to the Wyoming Siestas because I loved their idea so much. Here's what I need from both the Cool Group and the Sheridan, Wyoming Group: please send one email to our blog email address with the names of each of the participants in the group then just ONE mailing address. That's where I'll send the prizes. You guys are such a blast. I love you so much. Stay in the Word everybody!!
Congratulations! That was fantastic and fun. It was one of those things that makes us laugh out loud! Praise God for this fellowship!
Those were hilarious!!
I loved that the middle flip flop in the first video got a lttle off rhythm - that is so much like me she really is my siesta - hehe
I also loved the flip cartoon - so creative
CONGRATS ladies :)
Kim
Beth, just so you know... I love your expression "There ain't no high like the Most High". Down to earth expressions -- keep 'em comin', girl! :)
Congrats all you Cool Siestas! Totally inspired and marvelous fun! Can not wait to see the weekly videos . . .
Bible study is a blast for sure.
Peace.
Hard work does pay off! The flipbook was actually really fun for me to do though. It's been too long since I have had a creative outlet, I might just have to keep making verse flipbooks. ;o)
How awesome!! A great way to memorize God's Word!!
Congrats, Cool, CA!!
Hey, hats off to the middle Siesta from me, too!
I'm always the one clapping out of rhythm when I get into a group.
I wonder if she is left-handed? I am and I have a theory....
Anyway. Congrats, cool ones!
And I loved the Wyoming cartoon as well!
Thanks so much for posting these...what a FUN encouragement. I'm not in the Bible study, but I'm loving reading on line and watching what's going on. My dad is dieing from liver cancer, so I work all week, and go home every week-end to help my mom and he out (about an hour and 1/2 drive). SO, this is a "different" sort of season in life.
In so many ways (and you really have no idea!) this is such a great tool right now, when connecting with folks is hard because of the travel and time commitments...so GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
(and you crack me up!)
:-)
I, too, enjoyed the videos. You Siesta Sisters in Cali & Wyoming rock--glory to God!!!
I'm also enjoying digging deep in Kelly Minter's NOG! Not to mention Alli Rogers musical gifts!
Love in Christ,
Amy K from Waukegan, IL
Way to go, California and Wyoming! Those were so creative and fun! I loved the flipflops and felt like tapping my foot right alongside you! And the flip book- Amazing! I can't wait to see a new one each week! You all are going to help me memorize this Scripture! Praise Jesus!
And Beth, thank you for being a teacher that always strives to get us to the next level! Who would've thought that Bible Study homework would turn into video making?!? Keep stretching us higher and higher:)
Very nice! It's so simple yet so funny! It's simply funny... It makes me proud to be a California girl! lol! What's really "cool" is that this study has made me even prouder to be included in His group of girls! I love my siestas so much more since we started this!
Judy
Great Job Ladies! I am SO impressed! Can't wait to see more.
Love,
allyson
Congrats!!!
I can't view the videos. Not sure why..tried every computer in the house. ha ha
Is there a link we can click to view on an external site?
Love ya!
I'm sorry that this comment is not related to the cute videos- but I was reading Dallas Morning News online and it talks about big hair- kind of like the Houston paper did a few weeks ago...and this quote made me think of you Beth-
"Don't be afraid to make your hair big. Texas weather will flatten it."
I love it!
Congrats Cool Siesta's! I was tappin' my foot the whole time. And, Wyoming, WOW! Creative. Really Impressive!
Love & Blessings,
Sam*
Very "COOL". You girls rock! Congrats to both groups.
Sharon
Way to go you "Cool" girls! Nothin' like God's word paired up with a Beach Boys tune!!!!!
O man! I absoulutly LOVE this! Those vids are AMAZING! Congrats COOL Cali!
So wonderfully hilarious and smart! I know how the flip-flopper with the tightened-up calf felt.
What a fun and brilliant way of Scripture (great one!) memorization and seeing the siestas' creativity.
Would love to be in Cool, California or Sheridan, Wyoming right about now instead of Houston's heat!
Too much fun on this blog...
When you have time, check out this blog: www.audreycaroline.blogspot.com It is great! Have the tissue handy.
I hate to keep taking up room on this post, but as the day has gone by I've just gotten more and more excited that we are the runners-up. It's just that we prayed that we would do well in the contest and it just tickles my heart, because He cares about the things that we care about, even little things like this competition. More and more, I see Him doing things just like this, to help me see Him in EVERYTHING!
And Beth, thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for sending us a prize too!
We love you and we're just wild about you!
Melana in Wyoming
Well done Siestas!!! Loved the melody to "I Wish They All Could be California Girls!" And don't you just LOVE flip flops??!! :) And you Wyoming siestas did a fabulous job, too! Congrats to ALL!
Love,
Missy in SC
I loved it!!! I didnt realize this was your memory verse, actually I havent been paying attention...those verses bring back memories. Growing up in Dallas my pastor Dr. Penticost usually ended the service with that! thanks, now I can sing them! Love the melody you chose girls!!!
Miss Beth,
I'm blogging tonight to let you know that my 5 year old daughter has been "playing Beth Moore" since supper. She put on pants & a shirt with a jacket, dangling earrings, and high heels. Then, had me put her hair up with a clip. She has her Bible and is doing some teaching. What fun! I wish I could have gotten her picture before she changed. I am doing Stepping Up now and was at Deeper Still last weeekend. My husband is doing Stepping Up, also. So, she hears alot about Beth Moore. We TiVo Life Today on Wednesdasys, and she watched you with me this afternoon. So, I just wanted you to know what you mean to my family. You are an example to even little ladies of God. She's a Siesta in training. I pray that she'll love Jesus all her life and have an early personal experience with him. Thanks so much for being who you are. What a blessing to me! I have had a real time of personal renewal since starting Stepping Up. It's been a divine appointment for me. Sorry this has been long, but I couldn't let the night pass without sharing this with you. I feel like I know you and your family. You all mean so much to me. I saw Amanda at Deeper Still and had to practice self-control and not reach out and hug her sweet neck.
Loving you tonight and thanking God for you,
Mandy
meley@johnmilledge.org
oh my word i am so impressed :) check out that rhythm tapping...unable to attend deeper still, but i hear mama beth displayed a wide-range of talent far beyond just Word-bringing...we may need to see a video of that rapping?!?!?! :)
so blessed and overjoyed to be a citizen in S'ville. i am having a blast :)
AMEN, and the videos were great... I need a card with bigger storage for my camera so I can make myself a little video - I have been looking to do it for a while now...
Perhaps someday soon... Blessings and fun stuff. I love both videos.
I love it!! I had this one memorized because this was the first verse my man ever sent me as an encouragement in an email...but I will not be able to forget the beach boys rendition to this verse! Those videos are great!!!!
Congrats to both the Cool, Calif. and Wyoming Siestas!!!
I am so glad you are going to keep posting the videos too, how fun to get to see the rest!
Loving this study Beth, great idea that you had!
AWESOME JOB you Siesta's from Cool, Cali! Very Creative! Just so you know I now have that tune stuck in my head!!
Much Love, hope you all had a FABULOUS 4th!
I LOVE you all , my Siestas !! Congrats on your creativity , and thank you LORD for them all !! We love you in New Mexico ! ( That state , in between Arizona and Texas , yes , uh huh )
I love you all. To God be the Glory !
Elizabeth
I have so much enjoyed reading about all my siestas summer bible study events. I really wanted to join the study but I am serving God here in nepal and could not get the book.. however, I do not here sermons in english and although I have learned the language nepalee it's not the same as a good ol' preaching in english, or retreat with the girls.. so if anyone could.. if you are apart of an online group that is studying could you e-mail me your notes, what the lord is teaching you ect.. it would do this m*ss*nary in nepal some good. Our God is good good. I'm 26 years old have been serving here 11 months and it has been incredible..my e-mail is reachingsouthasia@yahoo.com
tuSo cute. I loved it.
Congrats to Cool Ladies in CA! I'm almost sure it was the flip-flops that gave you that extra edge! ;)
CALIFORNIA GIRLS!
ABSOLUTELY TOO COOL!
WYOMING GIRLS!
FLIPPING OVER YOUR BOOK!
God makes some of our siestas so creative!
Thanks girls for making this Florida girl smile and for encouraging me in my Word association challenges!
LOVE-
ENJOYING GRACE IN FLORIDA
Congratulations to our Sisters in Cool, California I love the shoes they were cute and the verse being done by the beach boy music. I enjoyed it . I got goose bumps. I also love the one in Wyoming too that was too cute. I wanted to do the bible study but with the kids being out for the summer and running inbetween Summer school and an English class I'm taking it didn't manifest but I know I can come on here and watch the clips and I thank you again Sister Beth for your faithfulness to your Blog Sista's and I wanted to Wish all of you a Happy fourth
Susan
Fabulous! Fantastic! Way to go ladies, you inspire us all! The scripture text is so perfect for right now, don't you think?
Love and Blessings, Debbie in Tennessee
WOW! Those brought tears to my eyes! You girls are soooo creative! Congratulations!
Congrats to all the flip flops from Cool, CA! That will be an easy way to memorize that verse! WY, you were great too!
okay, i am totally impressed that y'all can do all that stuff and then log it into a computer...i'm not even sure my blog is logged on correctly! milliebsf
Those are great! I love 'em, and I can't wait to see the others! Bravo!!
I am sure Jesus is wearing his flip flops and dancing in heaven to this wild and crazy verse singing. I am sure he is laughing at the toe tapping. Wonderfully done. Congrats, Cool CA and enjoy your goodies. I cant even imagine what wonderful and exciting things you are going to receive from that shopping girl.
Wyoming, that was so neat. I only wished it were slower. The pictures were so good. Had to watch it again and again. I think you need to post it so we can all make copies and laminate it for ourselves.
Congrats, Siestas!
Beth, your new baby is so adorable. I cant wait to hear the stories that she will provide for us in bible studies. Love you.
Congratulations Cool, CA and Sheridan, WY. Awsome ideas! Now I have that tune playing in my head. I'm not able to participate in the summer Bible Study this summer, but I'll get that scripture memoirzed with that tune in a heartbeat. Thanks and CONGRATULATIONS! P.S. loved the flip-flop courseline. Too Funny.
They deserved to win! Good pick and good job, ladies!
Those were so good!! Very creative! I won't have any problems memorizing now!
Great Job Cool Girls=I loved the part where the one flip flop was going the opposite way. I will have that song stuck in my head-too cool!
Miss Beth,
I know how much you love us memorizing scripture so I had to share with you something that happens every year in our VBS. A precious lady, Miss Judy, who by the way is a Texan, does a VBS unlike any I've ever seen. It is The BEST VBS ever! Why? Because the main point is to memorize scripture. At the end of the week this year the children and adults had memorized 2891 verses. My little Grace memorized 56 verses in that one week. There is nothing like it when you see children hiding God's word in their heart! And they're all so excited doing it. They also get points for memorizing and reciting the books of the Bible, as well as the Ten Commandments. You, my friend, would have a BLAST! It's quite amazing.
Congrats to the winners in Cool, CA and you Siestas in Wyoming! Just shows it can be so fun to learn God's word!
Blessings,
Kimberly
WAY TO GO COOL, CA!!! That was way tooooo clever! I'm not doing the Bible study but will put the Jude scripture to memory now. Have a blessed time studying!!
Way to go, Cool Siestas! The flip flops are perfect.....kinda reminds me of the raisins marching to "Heard It Through the Grapevine!!!" I may have to play this every day for my laugh....I laughed 'til I cried. So glad the Wyoming Siestas are 1st runners-up....my daughter lives there. Woo Hoo! Good for all of you!!! Thank you for entertaining me! God bless!
Congratulations Cool girls! Way to go! I now know the verses real well because of you California Girls!
Also realized today as I listened to my Ipod that Shane and Shane sang a version of our scripture verses on the "Glory Revealed" CD. The CD is soooo great...has many contemporary artists (Third Day's Mac Powell, Brian Littrell, Candi Pearson-Shelton and others) putting actual scripture verses to music. Can't get through it without bawling my eyes out over the beauty of THE WORD itself...and then.... to have it sung to me? Priceless!
Don't you just love His word Siestas?? Glory!!
I loved both videos! Y'all are so creative! Great work!
Thanks Beth,
I hope this post does not go on here twice because I forgot to do the word verification the first time.
I needed a good laugh. The videos brought a real (not fake) smile to my face.I did not participate in the Bible study (I was tempted). I desperately need alone time with God on a very personal level to read my Bible and pray. I know the study provides that, I don't want to offend anyone, this is just one of those times. I am also in the middle of a move. I always used to be diligent (I have stepped back). I can't afford to do that with my past and I am getting back on track, I pray and know by faith. After that priority, I need to spend time on the homefront with my husband and children. I know that all of the siestas doing the study are becoming better disciples (and wives, mothers, friends, etc.) because of it!
About the videos....
I especially LOVED the cartoon one. That was SOOO creative and it made a strong point (the falling off the world cliff part and getting lifted up, etc.). I also loved the little disclaimer at the end, it was too cute. I loved the Jars of Clay song too. Redemption Songs is one of my top favorite CDs of all of my Christian music. Oh, I hope there is one from WV.
Okay, on another note, the food here in TX is insane. I am on Lipitor and I am afraid I won't be getting of it anytime soon (and I'm in my thirties) if I don't stay out of these restaurants here. We were in temp. living close to the city for a month. I went to Pappasito's, Pappadeux (sp?), some Brazilian Steakhouse, I can't remember the name, Amazon Grill, Marble Slab Creamery, I think that's the name, Ragin' Cajun', and I forget where else. My girlfriend from San Antonio (a true blue TX native) told me to go to Pappasito's. She knows that I am picky about my Mexican food. I about went wild. I hope that I did not make too much of a scene because I was running my mouth about the food (like I had never seen food) in between stuffing my face (my two, lovely children tell me that I make everyday a "hillbilly day"). Even today when I cut my jean shorts with a box cutter, that is pratical, not hillbilly. Katy can hold its own too. I went to Los Cucos (sp?) the other day and it was also delicious. Every place had great service too. I come from a long line of great cooks and when I say food is insane, then it is insanely good. I just want all you Texans to know that y'all have some of the best food I have ever tasted in my life here and I have tasted food in plenty of states. I keep telling my family and friends that if they don't visit for anything else, come for the food. Okay, enough of that now. Just wanted y'all to know.
Back to the videos, thanks again for making me laugh and praise at the same time. The CA. one was awesome too and I wonder, just like the other siesta, if the one who kept getting it backwards a lefty??? Let us know. I am also a lefty and everyone complains about my kitchen being backwards.The siestas doing the summer study are impacting me even though I am not doing the actual study. I am still listening.
Keep sending us the wonderful videos!!
Barbara from WV
Too cute!! Congrats!!
I look forward to seeing more videos.
You Western Siestas are AWESOME!!!
To my Cool California & Wonderful Wyoming Siestas:
You girls are something else! So creative and precious.
And I don't know if you meant to or not, but the out-of-sync flip-flopping siesta made it sooooooooo good!!!
Wish I could hug your California and Wyoming necks!
Looking forward to spending eternity with you!
Your Southern Siesta,
GEORGIA JAN
Congrats to the COOL Siesta's....that was really cute. Also Congrats to the Wyoming Siesta's that was really great. I can hardly wait for the day we all get to meet each other. It amazes me at our differences that make us so alike. We love our Lord don't we??!!!!!!!!
Blessings from Bible Bunny in MI
Being the curious person that I am and being from Calif. I had to know where Cool, Ca was located. If anyone else besides me is curious, Cool, CA is located a little northeast of Sacramento. congrats to the Cool Siestas and Wyoming Siestas! Look forward to viewing the other entries.
Beth! Thank you so much for publishing all the videos! I knew they were going to be awesome! By the way. Lancaster PA is way behind Texas,girl. The article about "Big Hair" being "in" was in this Sundays paper--several weeks behind your paper! Guess you'll be wearing the big hair before we do.....somebody do a video of scripture memory with big hair? : ))
YOU BLEW ME AWAY SIESTAS!!!
WHAT A COOL JOB!!! I loved it!
---no better creativity than for your Lord and siestas edification!
Congratulations Siestas! What fun! Thank you for sharing! And looking forward to more!
I was planning to enter the contest but did not get my act together. When I was in high school, my church singing group sang this verse. Its by Acappella and its called Now to Him. Its a beautiful song that has helped me hide this scripture in my heart for MANY years. I encourage you to locate the song on and download it!
you girls ROCK!! california,marina
These are great, wish i had known about this contest!
Hey sisters in COOL...you are close to my neighborhood, Folsom, Ca....Way to go...
I guess I should have taken my gang to Folsom prison and sang outside the gates! :)
You did awesome!
These were precious!!! No wonder you loved them so much. So excited that you're going to continue to share these with us.
I'm involved in a Priscilla study right now (awesome, by the way), or I'd be on board for this amazing blog study! Definitely enjoy reading about it.
Hope you and the family had a wonderful 4th of July! = )
Blessings,
Tracy
So sweet and encouraging. I'm not able to participate in the study, but I sure do enjoy the updates. Thank you Beth, that we can still participate through the scripture memory.
Love to all,
April
What a fun way to emphasize the value of scripture memory! Glad you all did this.
Patticakes , that touched me - the image of Jesus in flip-flops. Thank you for that. He came as one of us and if He were here today , .. yes , I can visualize flip-flops. So like us, yet fully God. Oh to be able to wrap my mind around it.
Remember when flip flops were called thongs ... my daughter hushes me if I ever slip up and call the things by the wrong name.
XOXOXO to all of you . <><
This doesn't really have to do with scripture memory - but I just searched your whole blog looking for wedding photos, but couldn't find any?? Did I miss them or are there really not any posted?! I'm just curious, because I'd love to get to see them:)

Hey Siestas,
Just FYI, there is an awesome song of our verse on the CD "Glory Revealed: The Word of God in Worship." It is done by David Crowder and Shane & Shane. I have loved it for some time now and have memorized the verse from singing along. Enjoy!! PS the rest of the CD is awesome too! Love in Jesus, kim in PA
The girl in the middle who can't seem to keep the beat is my sister. Yay, Sydo! You're wonderful. Oh and the baby at the end is my niece.
Yeah, I'm bragging.
To those California siestas - WOW, that's all I can say! You really had your thinking caps on. I loved it!
I love them! Great creativity!
TOO FUNNY FOR WORDS!
I absolutely loved these videos and I am sure I will get a kick out of those to come. I have to give my vote to the creativity of the runner up, it just was so incredible. How my Wyoming Siestas thought of each race and gender for gernerations and the creative storytelling, took my breath away. It also reminded me of something you would see on a childs educational program and I have to say, I always notice how the thought of children are so close to Jesus. Sensibly awe-inspiring.
You girls are such fun and you make a siesta proud. I so enjoy being in a community of Siestas who not only find the time but enjoy taking the time to go above and beyond for OUR LORD.
I am inspired.
God Bless You All

I just have to show the Jude 24-24 videos to my high school girls small group. They did their own creative version of that verse two weeks ago (I stole the idea from this site) and I think they'll love seeing the flip flops and flip book. They are a great bunch of teenagers and I just love them to pieces.
Lately the Lord has really convicted me of how important it is to hide His Holy Word in my heart. I will admit that I have fought waves of jealousy over this bible study, wishing I could participate and wishing I had a great group of seistas to meet every week.Thank you for letting those outside of this circle be apart of it still! I will commit to memorizing these scripture verses (and any more you share)along with so many other women across this great country!Thanks again Beth!
I know I already left a comment, but I just realized something and had to share. I have been picking out a Bible verse to memorize every week. This week I added on to last weeks verse-Hebrews 4:12-13,16. The verse from the summer bible study, goes along with my other verse. Both verses talk about the throne of God but from two different perspectives; me, as the one going to the throne to find grace and mercy(Hebrews), the other from Jesus, who presents me before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy(Jude). How cool is that? I think I get the message-I need to spend more time on my knees!
Oh my goodness that is SO cute! Congrats Cool Siestas!
