Another Great Scripture Video
I was telling my NOG group last night that every time I go over my memory verse I picture or hear in my mind about four different videos that you ladies sent in for our contest. They really did help me! I had many favorites, but I think this one might have been my ultimate favorite. I'll let y'all guess why. Thanks to Jennifer Kittredge and her Florida Siestas!

WOW!!! Great JOB, Siestas!!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Oh, WHY did I cry in this?? Very fun. I've just loved this study, and this video is neat. Thanks, ladies!
However I suddenly need to go on chocolate hunt in the kitchen.
Love it!!!
Wow getting the men to participate, that is incredible.
LOVE IT!!! You FL girls are awesome. What a perfect way to apply Scripture to real life.
"How sweet are Your Words to my taste..." Ps 119:103
Bless you!
I can't quite guess why it's your favorite, but perhaps it is that they had all sons??
I LOVED the wedding dress part! Great job, Florida Siestas!!
Standing ovation "AWESOME JOB"....great application to life also!
Thanks for sharing your creativity!
Beth- This is the first time I have visited your blog. Thanks for sharing. I so appreciate your ministry! I have a question unrelated to today's post, and it is not something I usually ask. Since you posted earlier that you didn't mind and were flattered--here goes! Your skin and coloring look so gorgeous in your pictures. Since we have the same coloring, would you mind sharing your foundation brands and color names with me? Thanks so much in advance.--Mary
From one cake-oholic to another, Amanda, I’m right there with you. Cake and scripture...what a delightful combination. Way to go fellow Floridians!
Feasting on His wonderful word,
Susan
I LOVE IT!!!! You guys are so cute! You remind me of me and my friends! This was the perfect video! Beth... Don't you have somemore gadgets? If I had something I would send it to you... Since I don't I'll send you my laughter and prayers
your siesta
Judy
My favorite too!!! Loved it!!!
Great video - very creative! Thanks Girls!
Oh! I just had half of a chocolate shake when I promised myself I'd start today to lose my summer weight gain. Wish I had watched it sooner.
I'm having a fat-free smoothie and fat-free soft pretzel right now. Someone can relate right here in this house!!!!
Nice job ladies!!!!
Great video girls!! Lots of work behind it, as well as much thought.
Congrats on getting the men involved.
Thanks Amanda for sharing!!

Girls, I am so impressed with your video and I love it!!!
Melinda, I thought that was you before I saw your name at the end.
We have so many talented siestas and I am proud to be your siesta in Christ!!
Love,
Patty
I was going to say almost the exact same thing Amy Storms said, "Why does this one make me want to cry???" I loved the visual of people coming alongside us when we feel like we're in defeat and that part "before all ages" when the children and husbands show up really touched me. That's where it happens, Siestas. Fruit that only surfaces in our public lives is nothing but plastic. The real test is the home where frustrations and sameness loom. Great job, Florida Siestas! Love you guys.
The video made me cry, too, as it did for Amy (comment #2). I'm not sure why, either, except that the idea of Jesus presenting me without fault and with great joy to our Father has been resonating with me through this memory verse. Jesus is excited about bringing me to God -- big WOW!!!
I'm crying from laughing! Thanks siestas!
Mary, welcome to Siestaville! So good to have you! I don't mind you asking at all. Since I have to do so much work on camera, I have to use a fairly heavy foundation. It has to last through heated lights and copious sweat. I use Double Wear by Estee Lauder. (My shade is Wheat but one time I stood at the Dillards counter and baffled the saleslady by asking for the shade "Toast." I guess I'd had wheat toast for breakfast. Blonder than she pays to be.) I get all the rest of my cosmetics - from blush to eye liner to mascara to eye shadows - at Walgreens.
And don't even get me started on hair color. I think I have three colors on my head right this second.
I did that yesterday with a Starbucks Apple Fritter! What a great way to think about that verse! Good Job, Siestas.
loved this video! If I'd have seen this one first off, I might have memorized it even quicker. :)
Is it wrong that this is what I had for breakfast the last 3 mornings in a row?
(not what was in the bowl... what was on the plate)
Toast---slays me!! ha! ha!
Thanks for the warm welcome, Beth! I am blonder than I pay to be too--I meant to ask for blush shade as well. Love those Lauder foundations.
That is toooooo cute! Love it! Way to go Florida Siestas!
Just so wonderful and creative!! Glory to THE ONE who is able. You Flordia Siestas are great!
Siestas, that was an awesome video! WOW! Very creative and powerful!
Beth, you crack me up! I'll be smiling about the "toast" foundation all day!
I am almost down to counting the hours until San Antonio!
Blessings
Michelle
That was wonderful... but I have to tell you I would like a big pieces choc cake right about now.
Blessings and thank you for sharing.
Lichelle
Oh that is great!!! Thank you for sharing. (Was that chocolate I saw?) Not only was it great, but it looked almost like a page out of my day (without the presentation - I'm working on that).
I just read Beth's comment about her foundation...TOAST...HA HA HA HA!!!
I too am counting down the days :-)!!!!!!!!
I'm so looking forward to some fun and laughter!
What color foundation? TOAST! (Buttered toast?)
Love the video. That was very creative. I like how the friends come along side to help her.
For some reason I am craving chocolate cake. Hmmm...
Blessings,
Marita
ok,ok I just read the rest of the coments ... Mamma Beth you crack me up... Toast.... foundation... if that sales person would have been on her game she could have said, white or wheat or rye... just a little bread humor sorry...
We are so ready for next friday... the time is going by slow... we are ready to shout praises with all the Siesta to our wonderful God.
Love you and thanks for making me smile today!
Lichelle
Wow!! that one is awesome!! love the wedding dress and all the generations of men:)
Kudos to our siestas in Florda. Very Creative. I loved the application. Thanks for sharing!
No wonder it is Amanda's favorite with chocolate cake, boys, and friends along side we call siestas....what a great combination.
*********************************
Loved the "toast" comment....sounds like something I would do. I call it Mentalpause.
WOW, powerful, that one spoke to me :|
Beth: I am one huge hormone today! Three H's: hormonal, hot-headed, and horrified that I'm NOT hungry for all I've eaten. Those three sweeties on the video spoke to me. I need some Holy Spirit "NOW"! (small smile... pressing on...)
I love this video and like so many of my fellow Siestas I laughed AND cried. So able to relate.
Okay, I'm not blonde (but my sweet girl is, does that count?), but I do have a non-video related question.
Beth...I am so obsessed with God's Mercy Seat right now. Am I correct in recalling you spoke about it in the Tabernacle Bible Study and can you point me in the direction to learn more about it? I feel that it is The Key to some (clearly) intense "talks" God and I are having right now.
Love you and all of the Siestas.
Susan
I love it! Thank you!!!
I was not able to do the study this summer because my husband and I (we are married since May 10th this year!) are travelling a lot. And since not many people can read english in my Very-French-City in Quebec, I will do this study by myself! I am looking foward to do it!!
Rachel
Fabulous, fabulous!!
Oh my goodness. I wish I had watched this BEFORE I went to the grocery store. God Bless you ladies. How inspiring. AWESOME!!!!!
Beth, you're the best. On behalf of my new bloggie, a heartfelt thanks. I know you made her day.
peace~elaine
Well, I'm a little late getting in on this study but was so powerfully moved just now by this video. Food has been one of my "idols" here lately as I feel like I've lost complete direction in God's will for my life. We can never get too comfortable because we never know when God is going to allow a hill or valley to enter our path. I'll have you know I just returned home from purchasing the NO OTHER GODS Bible study and am so thankful for this blog so I can go back to each video session. Thank you Florida sisters for this timely video and thank you Beth and Living Proof Ministries for your continued guidance and support.
Toast...HAHAHAHAHAHA
Hey, really nice job there girls-fun for the whole family!! Yea, no skittles (fake fruit) there!!
Oh, that was good, you guys!
The chocolate hanging off the mouth...nice touch!
Melana in Wyoming
Why do I identify with this video SO much...I guess it's because I, too, have fallen to CHOCOLATE!!!!
GREAT job Florida gals!!
That was fabulous! Thank you Florida Siestas I loved it.
Forever His,

YES!!! I HEART IT!!!
I love it ! I got tears in my eyes! Still makes me want a choco late piece of cake. Can't ya tell it's hormones. I went and bought these big index cards to hang scriptures on my bathroom mirror while I'm doing breaking free and My Husband(Kevin) who goes in there and shaves will see.(I ask all of my blog sista's to pray for the Lord to save Him and deliver Him and marriage restoration ) Love to ya'll and Hugs
Golly, I think this is my favorite!
Beth, any words of wisdom for me, as I am 42 years young. In April, I had a top tooth pulled, and went into braces. I'm excited. Last month and then again today, he added new "moving" apparatus' to my mouth. Thanks!
Nothing like a little guilty conscious over the 4 oatmeal chocolate chip cookies I ate this afternoon - glad He still loves me!!!
Beautiful video Siestas!
i totally understand your lovin this one amanda - the very best video i agree - so true to life too! and such a perfect visual fit for the verse AND this on my first day back on atkins diet - !!! i will be rewatching this one many a time this month and next !!!
Beth, I just had to tell you that God used your 'Living Forgiving' show today to speak to me at that very moment! I had been struggling all day with an offense, that lead to thinking of old offenses, and I couldn't get out of it, crying out to God for a word - then I turn on the TV and you are speaking about my very situation. Oh, how I love my Savior more and more!! He is faithful! Keep teaching! I love you too!
Florida Siestas,
Absolutely uplifting and made the verse come alive in a different way. I also teared up because it hit so "right at home" - struggling, yet so loved by our Savior.
THANKS!

Now THAT..was a very cool video! The verse made an impact on me through your presentation. I give it a "thumbs up"!!
Thanks for sharing God's word in such a memorable way!!
The wedding dress made me think of your wedding dress story, Beth and the chocolate, well that goes without saying!!!
The Bible study was great and we had some good sharing come from it, sad to see it end but very grateful that you introduced us to it. Thanks Beth, thanks Kelly and thanks Jesus!! And thanks, Melissa for some great new recipes!!!
Oh my, this video is wonderful! I wanted to cry as well...(besides being a contemporary Christian music fanatic I also love me some Coldplay!)
Your imagery was great. Thank you soo much for sharing!
And Beth, I am so grateful that you are willing to share your beauty secrets. I wish my hair would do what yours does!
Wow, Florida girls, great visual. Great job.
I loved this video. The wedding dress part was my favorite, too!
And Jaycee...mentalpause...I love it!:)
Loved it!! My favorite so far too! I hope you guys have a great weekend in San Antonio...I'll be praying for you!
That is so good! I'm not that creative! I love that part of her eating that cake, the fork just wasn't doing the job!
What a neat idea and you even got your families involved! Love it!
I love this video! I spent many years in bondage to food as well as MANY other things.
That God could clean me up and make me His bride still seems so unbelievable to me!
WOW Florida Siestas!! That was absolutely precious. It was so creative and I loved how you included your families. You blessed my socks off. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Royana
I LOVE this! Way to go Siestas!!!! Each one of you are so beautiful. :)
Is anyone else about to explode anticipating what God is going to do next weekend??? I'm already about to burst at how He is showing off for me this week...I can't imagine what next weekend holds. Man....He is one wild ride!!
Love you girls,
steph.
Susan:
A Women's Heart is the one she is talking about and it is Fab. We just finished it here in Austin and we are so in love with Jesus and Beth. You can get the workbook and audio at Lifeway Christian Book Store. Or try to fine a biblestudy in your area. It is so good to see it on screen. But I have done both.
Hope this helps
Blessings,
Lichelle
Loved the video...I can sooo relate to it...Thanks...I needed to see that this morning...
Loved this!!!
I just had to chime in here and say THANK YOU for all your sweet comments, on behalf of my Siestas, Jennifer and Michelle. To be perfectly honest, this was Michelle's brainchild - if it had been left up to me and Jennifer, I'm not sure there would've been a video! :o)
A HUGE thank you to Beth and her team for facilitating this study (and to Kelly for being obedient to write it!). It's been an enormous blessing and we three have seen God move in some pretty amazing ways.
And, to Ocean Mommy - HECK YES I'm about to explode! The way God has orchestrated my going to San Antonio and the people He's pulled into the mix, have me nearly faint with the anticipation! Looking forward to seeing you, Beth, Amanda, Melissa and every other sweet Siesta next week...NEXT WEEK!!
That was a wonderful video. I have to admit I forgot about the memory verse and didn't do it.
Wow - great job! This one is so perfect for me. For 44 years I didn't have a weight problem (although I always thought I was fat -arggghh - all those skinny years wasted!never appreciated being a size 4 or even a 8!) Then a miscarriage of twins, a thyroid that decided to stop working, and a broken heart, and now 10 years later I have to worry about if I will fit in a chair with arms! Whatever happened to just say no! But through this nog study I have begun afresh and have commited my eating and exercising to Him and left the weight loss in His hands. I'll do what I can but He will have to hold my hand all the way, let along take off pounds in this post-menapausal woman!
Thanks for a great encouragement today!
Loved the video!! Very creative and showed us just what some of gods could be. Great JOB!!!
We are having our final meeting tonight (Thursday) because our Bible Study was scheduled this week. I am really sad that this is the last week.

I absolutely LOVED this...I know the Lord Loved it TOO!!!!
That one is funny. Poor thing, she had to eat all that chocolate cake. I love the scale by the table. Don't I feel like that every time I sit down to eat.
Beth: I am an Estee Lauder Double-Wear girl too and my shade is "Fresco." I could not remember my shade either and asked for "Frosty." Now I know I'm a fair-skinned brunette, but FROSTY??? (And I had not been to Wendy's!)
Great job FL Siestas - loved the voice and music and pace of this.
It was really really poignant!
Love you Siestas!
Headed to San Antonio in a week for the Siesta Fiesta!

Great Job! Ditto on the cryin' and smilin'...Thanks for keeping my heart tender!
Where are you in FL? I am west of Orlando...It would be cool to get FL siestas together!
I really love home videos! They are so funny and candid-reality tv at it's best! The choc cake did look good...but everything is permissable, but not everything is beneficial:)...dark choc is beneficial for the heart, just tellin' ya:)...This is a cool video...that's neat that she can still fit her wedding dress (that's a goal of mine too, esp. if I have children:)...food issues are such a prob in the U.S. b/c cheap,unhealthy food abounds, and people have issues that drive them to food or away from it, or to be bulimic. A Western issue and I'm hearing is more of an issue in Europe now, and places where "American food" has been introduced, OUCH! Oh, and livin' in the south with everything fried and smothered, Help us Lord!:) We do need some balance that is lasting with it not consuming our minds!

Sameness at home as in public-being real and lovin' the Lord:)...Toast! Funny!:)...three colors, really? three shades of blonde or blonde, caramel, a brown...?...How much gray do you have Spiritual Mom Beth???:)
katiegfromtennessee:)
AWESOME!!! I loved it!
Please, please tell me the name of the song on this video. I loved your video. Elaine Ross elaineross@gmail.com
To Gaila:
The three of us live in the Tampa area. Any other Florida Siestas chime in - we should know who all's out there!
To Elaine Ross:
The song is by Coldplay and is called "Fix You"
Just make me want to cry...out of joy, relief, salvation, friendship...etc. The list goes on. Thank you Floridian Siestas. Wish you lived near me. =A California Babe.
Siestas:
Beth gave a talk a few years ago on eating issues. You can buy it through the LPM store. Go to the main website, click "Store", then "CD's", then "The LORD God made Woman" series. It's fantastic and changed my perspective on food. Check it out.
Moops
This video is my favorite so far. It moved me to tears also. It actually shows what this study is all about. How amazing! Siesta's you did an awesome job. I too love that the husbands and kids got involved in the making of the video. It is awesome to see you using the very gifts God gave you to teach of his love. Amen!!
Love, Lori
Beautiful video! Good job. It puts the scripure to life.
Blessings, Patty
What a step of faith! I'm so searching for my feet! I'm in awe! From an East TX Siesta just reading/watching/growing in the wings. I'm praying 4 u Beth and your team daily - I just know you have something for me this w/e from God. Hit me over the head and take my "Cake aka breath" away. love, Dawn
