Happy Birthday, Bethie!



Mama, on your birthday I want you to know how you've impacted my life for Christ. In my youngest days you taught me that God made the ladybugs and the lonely little clouds and that Jesus loved me, this I know. In my early childhood you taught me that Jesus died for me and took my sin away so that I can live with Him in heaven one day. As I grew you made sure I knew how to worship Him and we sure did a lot of that together. You listened carefully to all my questions and answered in such a way that I was left marveling at how wonderful He is. As a teenager you showed me that He is worthy of living for, even if I wasn't necessarily doing that myself. As a college student you taught me that Jesus forgives and redeems, and that the Holy Spirit fills us and equips us to live the life I'd always learned about. As a young woman you helped me know and love God's Word and love the people we serve in His name. As a wife you've taught me to put my husband before my kids so that when they're grown, there will still be a spark. As a mom, you've taught me how to love my babies so that as they grow, they will have a framework to comprehend that their Father in heaven loves them more than they can imagine. You are a fabulous mother, a gifted teacher, and a servant leader. I thank God for you on your birthday! I love you!

Mom, It is so typical that Amanda would beat me to the punch in displaying her love for you.   Do you remember that year that you gave us each our baby clothes as a Christmas gift and they were all ironed and folded neatly in a plastic bin?  Remember how she wept and wept and left me standing there looking like I was an ungrateful and unsentimental child?  This blog is totally reminding me of that Christmas.  She is always striving to win 'the favorite daughter' award.  She should be reprimanded for that, right?  ;) Kidding, Noogs (Amanda's nickname). So, in light of her beautiful paragraph, I guess all I can say is "Yeah Mom...what she said!"  We can't wait for you to open the gift we got you.  I love you madly and so wish I could be there to celebrate you today.  You make life so much more fun for all of us who know you.  Save me some cake! Love, Melissa

It is nice to hear a daughter appreciate her mother instead of blaming her - I know I don't tell my mother often enough how much I appreciate her, especially in teaching me to love the Lord. Mother and daughter relationships are very special.

Happy Birthday Beth!

Dear Sister in Christ, may you feel blessed in every possible way today! We have never spoke but, like coutless others must, I feel like we are old friends. Thank you for your transparency in all of your teaching. It was the exact type of humble leadership that I needed and has inspired me beyond what I can type in this comment section! It is amazing to me that God loved me so much that he sent you to speak at this very time so that I would know His redemptive love for me!

I pray that Keith spoils you rotten today!!! I love your heart so very much!

Happy Birthday Beth!

Happy Birthday, Mama Beth! Thank you for teaching so many inside and outside your realm of influence the impacting power of a relationship with The Living God! Thank you for passing down an inheritance not only to your own lineage, but also to those in your spiritual heritage. God has done great and amazing things through the influence of your teaching and speaking and I will be forever grateful that you’ve taught me to draw closer to Him, lean into Him and depend on Him to be my all in all. I hope you are blessed beyond measure this beautiful birthday year and that you continue on in your powerful faith journey glorifying and magnifying the name of Jesus!

Amen! Beth you have touched my life in such a marvelous way. I have only been connected with you 10 months --- but what a difference that 10 months has made in my life. I too, have discovered God sees mee in such a different way than I see (or used to see myself). He disires not just my heart but time also. He craves and delights when I find my peace in Him. And it is a peace I get from no where else.
I am trying to put together a before Beth shot and an after Beth shot. I am amazed at the difference in the joy that can be seen in my face and in my body.
Thanks so much for sharing your life, faith, family and Saviour with me.
Happy Birthday and words can not express the love I have for you. (Only 169 days until OKC!! I can hardly wait.)

May you be immersed in "The Happy Blessing" today Miss Beth!!

Here in New Mexico we always sing "Las Mananitas" to loved ones on their birthday so here it is for you (with translation):

Estas son las mañanitas, que cantaba el Rey David,
Hoy por ser día de tu santo, te las cantamos a ti,
Despierta, mi bien, despierta, mira que ya amaneció, Ya los pajarillos cantan, la luna ya se metió. Que linda está la mañana en que vengo a saludarte; Venimos todos con gusto y placer a felicitarte,; Ya viene amaneciendo, ya la luz del día nos dio,; Levántate de mañana, mira que ya amaneció.; El día en que tu naciste nacieron todas las flores; En la pila del bautismo, cantaron los ruiseñores; Quisiera ser solecito para entrar por tu ventana; y darte los buenos días acostadita en tu cama; Quisiera ser un San Juan, quisiera ser un San Pedro; Para venirte a cantar con la música del cielo

Translation:

This is the morning song that King David sang; Because today is your saint's day we're singing it for you; Wake up, my dear, wake up, look it is already dawn; The birds are already singing and the moon has set

How lovely is the morning in which I come to greet you; We all came with joy and pleasure to congratulate you; The morning is coming now, the sun is giving us its light; Get up in the morning, look it is already dawn

The day you were born all the flowers were born
On the baptismal font the nightingales sang

I would like to be the sunshine to enter through your window; to wish you good morning while you're lying in your bed

I would like to be a Saint John I would like to be a Saint Peter; To sing to you with the music of heaven

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS BETH! :)

Well put Amanda! I agree whole-heartedly.
I will add one thing though, for me.

Beth, you've taught me that loving the LORD is more FUN than anything and that there is "no high like the most high!" You have been recruited by HIM to be a disciple to me in ways of showing me the life of a Christian woman is ANYTHING but boring and that the blessing that comes from holding tight to the hem of His garment is more than any other plan or thought we could have. He is it! And He is the greatest adventure we can ever experience. If ya'll are girls like me - You want a fairytale! Let the LORD write your story, nobody writes them like Him!

Dearest Mama Bethie,

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

Proverbs 31:30

Although you truly are one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen, your beauty comes from your fear of the Lord. Time has no ability to lessen it. You have said that an encounter with the God of the Scriptures is the best beauty treatment we could ever have. We see Jesus in you, sweet teacher of mine. Thank you for fighting the good fight, for your vulnerability mixed with the dynamite Word of God that makes Jesus Christ so irresistible when you speak of Him. We don't know even a tiny bit of what you deciding to walk in the Spirit has cost you personally, but we are, everyone of us, the beneficiaries eternally for it.

Today, on your special day, know that our Jesus is well-pleased with you. Thank you for believing Him and teaching us how to do that, too. The day you were born was such a blessing for all of us who have sat at His feet with you. Heaven will tell the full story and we will be cheering you on.

Much, much love to you, sweet Mama Beth.

Shawn

Happy Birthday!!

Thank you for being available to God. He has used you powerfully in so many lives, including mine. I was in deep depression when I started my first Bible study, Breaking Free. Talk about a baptism by fire!

During that study my Father died and that group of women I hardly knew supported me so sweetly that I made many forever friends. Breaking Free was a huge part of that as we shared from deep places and empty places.

Thank you for your willingness to serve our Lord; it has made such a difference in my life.

Sending lots of hugs,

As a servant for Christ, without knowing me personally, you have taught me to fall in LOVE with God's Word and doing so has forever changed me. I have been studying 'with you' for 12 years and as a brand new Christian with absolutely no direction or clue, 'Living Beyond Yourself' helped to spark a love and determination in me for my Saviour I never thought possible. Praise His Holy Name!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I pray you have a wonderful birthday knowing you are LOVED by so many.

Beth,

What a wonderful tribute from your daughter. Even though you are not my mom you have been a mentor to me through your teaching. When I was a new Christian, young wife and new mother all in one you helped me to set my eyes on Jesus and trust that everything else would work itself out through him. That was almost 14 years and 5 children ago and with those priorities in place my husband and I are still going strong. May you have many more Happy Birthdays!

With much love,

Your daughters loving and serving Jesus at Living Proof right along side of you is the ultimate reflection of how heritage is supposed to work.

Happy Birthday sweet Beth! You are indeed an incredible woman of God and you inspire me to seek more, dig deeper, search harder, love more and increase my longing to Know my Savior in a more intimate way.

In Him,

Happy Birthday dear Beth Moore!!! I'm so thankful that our Lord Jesus created you! Your life has been a gift and blessing to my life in so many ways! Thank you for living for Him and serving and sacrificing your life as a praise to Him!! You have shown me what it is to come from a battered life with the "burn in my limbs" from the "demanding climb" and live with the confidence of Christ, letting God be God over all! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Happy Birthday.....I love you!

You are indeed wonderful Miss Beth. I have learned so much from you over the years just starting out in my faith walk as a new mama, trying to be a good example to my baby, then deepening that faith as I struggled through more babies, and the junk in life.

I don't have a local mentor, but God placed you and your studies in my life to mentor me.

Happy Birthday! I love you so much!!

My dear sister in Christ, happy birthday! How I wish I could be there to give you a present and eat some cake! I know it would be a fun and happy day.

You are loved! You are respected and honored! I'm wondering right now if Cece is singing happy birthday to you over the phone. You know we love you, don't you?

I want to take a moment here to thank you for pouring yourself out like a drink offering for all of us. So many WORDS have come to me at LPL events, in my own time of studying your Bible studies, and here at this blog. This year, I even had the sweetest hug from you when you joined all of us there for Travis' taping in Woodstock.

It has been a JESUS year, my sister! Thank you for encouraging me in my love for Jesus, His Word and my response to His teachings. You are ministering to me in a way that no one else has been able to.

And I thank you for bringing a new generation along with us in this thing we call life. I love every young mother, newlywed bride, college-age siesta and all the others so much younger than I am that have fallen in love with Jesus because of your faithfulness to His call. Oh, how we need this new generation to get us excited about these days!

He is STILL at work!
He is STILL on His Throne!
He is STILL a WONDER! And He is STILL in the business of setting captives FREE!

Happy Birthday, Beth...love you tons...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH!!!!

I too thank God for you. Thanks for all you do, for being real, for opening your heart to us and opening our eyes to so many amazing things in God's Word.

I could tell so many stories of how God has helped me and taught me through your teachings and testimonies. The most prominent was when I worked through Breaking Free a few years ago and so much was stirred up inside that I didn't understand. Then I sat down with my bff and the reality of my childhood victimization came out after being buried from my own consciousness for decades.

And most recently, God has been teaching me about holiness through a number of sources, and I still had questions about it. Then while working around the house I started listening to your series on "Proving us Genuine" which has provided great insight.

I could go on...
I so hope to meet you one day.

Thank you so much, Beth, and may God give you a wonderful birthday - hey are wearing the tiara??

May God continue to bless and protect you, your family, and your ministry.

I love you, MamaSiesta!

You cupped my face in your hands, pointed me to Him and to His Word and I have not had one depression "episode" in almost two years now. Theank you for teaching me that I didn't have to live like that, that I had a Savior who would love me and rock my world. And Girldfriend, He does!

I love you so and can't wait to one day thank you in person! Happy Birthday!

Dear Beth

On the day that you were born the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true. So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold (highlights) and starlight in your eyes of blue. That is why all the girls in town follow you all around just like me they long to be close to you.

Also, thanks so much for Pittsburgh. It was just what my husband and I needed. He wasn't there, but I've shared a lot. We're in the storm, but believe Romans 8:28 and know that it will be a "perfect storm".

Have a wonderful day! You deserve it!!

"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:"Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
Proverbs 31:25-31

Happy Birthday to my favorite teacher and mentor! God has used you in so many ways to us siestas. Words cannot express all that I've learned from the various studies I've done and the conferences I've attended. You are the real deal and it shows. You are the reason I've fallen in love with Jesus. A few years ago, I began praying for God to give me a passion like yours and praise Him, He has. It has come through some tough trials, but I wouldn't trade anything for the victories I've experienced.

The tribute from Amanda and Melissa is bittersweet for me. My teenage daugher and I aren't in a good place right now. She is rebellious and I'm praying hard for her to surrender to Jesus and stop fighting her father and I.

I could go on all day on how your teaching has blessed me but I won't, got to leave room for others! Know that you are dearly loved and prayed for.

I hope your day is wonderful and exciting and peaceful--all at the same time! I love 'seeing' your family and coming to love all of you dearly. I have begun studying Esther with 9 other neighbors and friends (some of whom I never dreamed would accept the invitation)--all women, then felt led to offer the invitation to the high school ladies we love dearly (my husband is currently the student minister here). To my surprise about 10 of them (that's just about all of them) accepted the invitation to study as well. I am excited beyond belief and so thrilled to see what God does in each of us over these next months. We are using my blog to communicate a little too--feel free to check us out some time!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH MOORE
I am wondering what delight the Lord has in store for you today. I can't imagine it being anything less than awesome.
Beth Thank you for being a humble servant of the Lord for women like me. Tank you for the love,hope and desire to know our Jesus that you inspire. I cannot tell you how many times the Lord has sent me to you for much needed answers or just a word.I carry an Ipod that is full of Beth Moore
Bible teachings and audio from Life Today. I have gotten through many a rough day with those teachings.The Lord allows you to speak to my heart.
I remember the first time we met I was a blubbering fool and I walked up to you and said " Beth Moore you always make me cry!" You looked at me with so much compassion and you bent down and took my hand and kissed it. Then Betsy came over to comfort and pray with me. I'll never forget that kindness and compassion you showed me. The Lord, has restored to me the gift of tears through you . You see I never shed a single tear from the time I was about 19 until I turned and decided to walk with God again at 50. I had so much hurt and pain that I would get angry instead to hide it. Than I began a Beth Moore bible study and I would cry. Then I started watching you on Life Today and I would get a word and cry cry cry. Believe me when I tell you I did not like all this crying but eventually I learned it was the Lords way of cleansing me. He chose you as his vessel to do that for me. He is wonderful, and Beth so are you. I so love, admire and respect you. Thank you thank you thank you Jesus for all you have allowed Beth to do for me and Beth thank you for being a good steward

Happy Birthday Beth,

The best thing I can say to you is thank you for loving God and serving Jesus the way you do. You are one of several people who have made a major difference in my life. I am not the same because you are teaching me more about the Love of our Heavenly Father.

May you enjoy a more than blessed day sweet Sister and mentor.

Because of Grace,
Sylvia Vicain
