She is too adorable. I have huge hair that my hairdresser is forever "thinning out"! To no avail. I am hugely blessed by her workbook and the chapter on "anger issues" which I swore I did not HAVE, is just what I needed.
Oh, Jennifer, you're awesome! And I so needed to be reminded today that who I am and what I struggle with are not the same! I'm a fellow big-haired Siesta, so I loved the flatten-it ideas! LOL
I sure needed to hear this, who I am. I am a child of the King, not what I tell myself I am. Thank you Jennifer! I am slowly working on the study (solo), and memorizing the scriptures. Now, the hair issue.... I have very short, fine, thin, hair. I gel it, spray it, flat iron it so it sticks out, spray it again, and since I am a hairdresser,(I know this works...) I spray it again for good measure. Blessings to all! Sharon Frederick, MD
Thank you so much Jennifer. What a blessing to have you take part with us! I really appreciate this study and how it is making me think about my thoughts. I started out thinking this wasn't much of a problem for me but as I get further into the study I realize I have things to learn and apply to my life. Thank you for the work you put into writing this and how it has impacted me in a positive way.
Thank you Jennifer for writing this amazing study and thank you Beth for talking us through it and leading us to think deeper. This study comes at such a crucial time in my life. I am pregnant (yay!) AND I recently lost my job (tear). BUT I know God has a plan for my life and he is already showing me how his plans are so much better than my own. This study is a daily reminder of his love. Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)
Ah Jennifer, this was so fun! I need the boost today. Just came out of 3 days in the hospital, and feeling concerned about so many things.... Needed the encouragement to get back into the Bible Study...
Jennifer, Our Bible Study group did your study last spring. It was so good I really enjoyed it!! I was thrilled when Beth chose it for Summer Bible Study.
Jennifer!! SO good to hear from you! And you make me laugh as much as Beth does! I need the Bump It Up products, though. My hair is flat and thin and lifeless! :D God is using your study to really speak to me and challenge me! I'm telling you..for what I'm going through right now, God ordained it so I would be doing this study!! Last night's homework hit the spot big time! Thank you so much for being obedient to God's call on your life. You're such a blessing!! Love you! :)
Now, that was cool. I don't need the bump it, few times I have needed the flatten it. I got the curl body thang happenin'. I like the trucker hat..and yes, backwards.....that's cool.
Thank you Jennifer for your insight into our "Thought Closets". I have been cleaning out my closet and can't believe how cluttered it had become. It is so wonderful how it lifts my spirits to change my thought patterns to those of God's!
It has been truly freeing for me to stop thinking things are all about me when I don't even enter into the equation sometimes! You know the "if only I had done it this way" or "they must be mad at me because of _____". Those misleading faulty assumptions were always messing me up!
God's Word is truly faithful and I just love it when God gives the gift of understanding and teaching to Sister's like you. Thanks for sharing your gifts!
Jennifer, you are so cute! I love the Bible study & I am reading your books. I feel like I am getting to know you better. Thank you for your ministry-you come across so sincere and funny all at the same time. Our group is really learning a lot from you.
Jennifer This is my first bible study with you and it has been an honor and privilege to meet you through this video and bible study. Thank you for taking the time to say hello and for giving me a face and personality to go with the name on my study guide. I am going solo but I do know some women that could use this study I wish I could have gotten them involved. I am pleased to know that I am not the only one who does not need a bump it The Lord gave me more hair than I know what to do with. Thanks again for taking the time to stop bye an say hello to us Siestas
Oh this was so wonderful to see. Now Mama Beth I want you to know that I respect your hair issues..but I must say Jennifer's suggestions for hair fit me and she has short hair like me...so I must say she is an angel with her hair ideas...Can you imagine if they actually had something called flatten it and who knew the you could feed the dog and do your hair with one bowl? I am thankful for you and this study and my siestas and Jennifer who pops in once in a while.
HOpe you are having a great hair day love and blessings Tammy S.
LOL!! What a blessing to have you on board with the rest of us Siesta's..... You are so funny!!! I to have big hair. And, I come from the age of "backcombing" it to get it to stand up even higher.....I love the new flatter look!! Haven't tried the veggies, but maybe I should!! Blessings, Bible Bunny in NO MI
Oh Jennifer you are beautiful. I've had the privilege of worshiping with you at FBC Jacksonville. You have been greatly used of the Lord in my life. THANK YOU for being another over comer.
I laughed so hard when Jennifer talked about the big hair issue. Even as I'm typing, I can't help but giggle.
This study is so relevant and needed. I have shared many of Jennifer's points with women I come in contact with. As a result, 3 bible studies have been initiated.
Jennifer, Thanks so much for posting. Its so nice now to have a voice to go with all of the study. I am getting quite a bit out of this study, thank you.
Where else could we get tips to pump up our hair or deflate it... all while being spiritually fed (inflated?)! :) Are we blessed or what?
Jennifer, your message reminder and greeting was a perfect gift to open today! Just yesterday, I told the Lord that your study is exactly what I need! I'm loving it!
Oh my, more hair tips and really I could use Jennifer's ! I don't want BIG hair. Sorry all you Texans. Wasn't it fun to actually hear from the author of this great study? Thanks.
Wow! I thought I had the biggest hair. As a southerner, we are supposed to though, right siestas! But my hairdresser said I was job security for her. I am enjoying this study so much! Thanks Jennifer and Beth!
i just can't believe how cool online bible study is! not only do we get to communicate with a much broader circle of believers.. and with Beth.. but now also with the writer of the study! jennifer, that was so cool for you to stop by and say hello. and a delight to see that you have your very own hair tips.. i love it. :)
Jennifer You are such a hoot! Totally enjoyed your video and was laughing out loud as you went thru all the ways to flatten the hair. My hair is very thick but now I wear it very short and spikey on top so I have no need to bumpet or flattenit. Thanks for writing the study and helping me be aware of my thought closet and all the clutter in there. Hope you will be able to attend the Siesta Bible Scripture memory celebration in Houston in January.
Here I am feeling so fuzzy from the humidity and I never thought to go my ice box! Thank you for the fun and for the encouragement to become the 'I am's' that God wants us to be
Too funny. I have not been blessed with big hair so flattenits would not be needed. But, I don't have enough hair to cover a Bumpit big enough to help me out. (I'm only 4'11"). But I have to tell you, we were meeting at Hastings in Topeka, KS last week and got so excited because as we walked in there was a shelf of Bumpits. We laughed for 5 minutes and went and got the box (even opened it) so we could see them up close and personal. I love being part of this siesta community. Y'all are too much!
Thank you sooooo much for the video. You and Beth are quite the pair. Praise God for reigning such gifts on the two of you. Don't be a stranger the this Siesta blogasphere even after the study is done. You are now one of us Siesta Siestas! There is no turning back on this heavenly path!:o)
I love Jennifer Rothschild. Altho I'm not able to do the current Bible study with the siestas, I am doing the "Walking By Faith" study which is wonderful for this season of my life.
Several months ago our church did "Fingerprints of God" which was absolutely wonderful and timely.
I love you already!!! You bring a smile to my face and heart. I'm enjoying your study and using the word of God through memory to clean out my mind-closet!!!
Love, love, LOVE it!!! As a woman with big (and naturally curly) hair, I say amen sister!! My husband sometimes asks me if I'm going to "tame" my hair down.. especially upon waking up or out in a windy day. Thank you so much for your study. I decided to take LPM's scripture challenge this year because I knew my thoughts needed help.. and then they chose your study!.. God is so awesome! I'm loving every minute of it.
Precious video! Count your blessings, you big-haired women. I've lost more hair than I can count through a thyroid condition, but praise God it's coming back--layer by layer. LOL! Your study is really resonating with me, Jennifer. I think the "thought closet" approach is a wonderful and week 4 has helped me understand more how I have let some thoughts into my closet without examining them to see if they are really mine or the enemy's. May God richly bless your ministry.
It was very sweet to leave a message for us Siestas! The study has been good and painful all at the same time. I'm so glad to be doing a summer Bible study with you all!
Jennifer, you're wonderful! I can't tell you how this MML study has resonated with me at this time in my life. It's a great one...
...and when you talk hair, you get all our attention! I was born with big hair and only when I lived in a desert was it straight! We recently moved back to Texas and in this 100+ degree weather I'm learning how to use a flatiron. I must say tho I do plan to try a few of your ideas!!
Thank you for sharing the words God has given you through this study!
Jennifer! What a wonderful surprise to find your video here this morning. I am enjoying your study so much! It is exactly what I needed this summer. Thank you for being such a blessing.
Love it! Thank you, Jennifer. I'm one of those that needs the frozen vegetables for my warm "season." LOL Enjoying your study. Thanks for following God's call.
Jennifer! Thanks so much for your message! I love getting to know you! I am being really blessed by the bible study you wrote. I have a RED bowl just like your BLUE bowl, and if you don't mind me saying, you have one of the sweetest laughs I have ever heard. It made me laugh just in the hearing of it! Blessings to you.
Jennifer, Thank you for sending a personal message to us! You have such a sweet, sweet spirit and I can see Jesus all over your precious face!! I am really getting a lot out of this study--thank you for writing it. There are 3 of us in my group--the other two are mother and teenage daughter. This is her first "adult" type study and it is so precious to see her enjoying digging in God's Word. Her mom says she can't wait to do another one!! We are meeting weekly because we just have so much to talk about--God is so amazing!
Jennifer, you are an inspiration to me. I have family members with the same eye disease. It is evident through your testimony that God works all things for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose.
Jennifer- You are darling. Thanks for the encouragment and laugh along the way.
I have been so blessed by your ministry. I saw you at Cornerstone in "Steamy Valley" aka Simi Valley, Ca." he-he.
I have led Walking by Faith and Lessons I Learned in the Dark both are excellent. I have shared your testimony as an encouragement to one of my students whose son who went blind as a teen not long ago.
Your voice is that of an angel. Whenever I think of the song "It is Well With My Soul" I literally hear you singing it. I also enjoy your womens ministry newsletter & site as a premium member. tons of helpful info.
Thanks for all you do for the Kingdom. God Bless You, Siesta Maddy
Since we are getting hair advice can someone share a product for "thickenit?" After all what good is a bumpit if it shows through? Jennifer and Beth, absolutely love the interaction for all of us with our Summer Study! Posting next about our group meeting this week in Atlanta!
Blessing to LPM, Beth, Jennifer and all my Siestas!
Jennifer, You have the sweetest voice!! Angelic and soothing to listen to ~ You are absolutely beautiful ~ even with a bowl, Bible,cap on your head!! Thank you for this great Bible Study! My hubby took a photo of me while I was studying your book. messy Hair uncombed and in my jammies!Ugh!!! :) I will have to add it to your site. You,Beth, Amanda & Melissa should do a beauty routine for us on DVD ~ Hair, make-up, plucking dressing while praising! It would be fun! I love all of you so very much! With "Heaven Bound" blessings, Kim Safina facebook.com Kim Safina twitter http://www.kimsafinathejourneycontinues.blogspot.com
Jennifer, I am definetly a "flatten it" girl. My 10 year old son enjoyed the frozen vegetable idea. I think he is plundering the freezer right now. Thank you for your words of encouragement. But mostly, thank you for this Bible study. I didn't even know I needed it but boy did I. Things are beginning to sound a lot different in my thought closet and I've become very aware of the roaring lion and I don't plan on listening to him anymore.
It's so great to get to hear your voice. You're funny and also insightful which I appreciate so much. Thanks for this study! I guess I'm one of the rare ones that neither has to bump-it or flatten-it. But I have started into my hot decade already. What a riot!
Thank you Jennifer for taking the time to come meet us today! It has been a joy and a blessing! I am challenged to remember that I am the King's daughter and not what I feel.
Hugs, and blessings to you, Kathleen Tallahassee, FL
As soon as you started talking about having "too big" of hair, I immediately reached over and grabbed my bible study book to see if it told me where you were from, because I knew you could not be from Texas! As I understand it, not being from Texas, but just hearing about it, that there is no such thing as hair that is "too big". Love you, Jennifer.
Truth! As a woman with naturally curly hair... flatten it - spoke to my soul... : )
Jennifer - my Summer Study group has been sooo deeply blessed by your ministry and your study. Truly truly has been timely - and Jesus himself speaking to our hearts. Know that you were created to deliver this message for such a time as this.
Thank you so much for writing this study - it is profoundly impacting both me and the friend who is doing it with me. I actually had dinner with my mother tonight and told her about it, and she made sure to get the name of the study so that she could buy the book for herself, too. I told my mom tonight that I've already found myself taking my thoughts captive more quickly and feeling less a slave to my FEELINGS and more freed up by the truth of God's Word - and that is just in this short time. Thank you for your trust in and faithfulness to Jesus. Thank you for loving Him and us enough to minister to us in this way. And thank you for this wonderful video today, too. What a gift! The Lord bless you a hundred-fold for the labor of love you have offered to us. His Word will not return void!
Jennifer, Thanks for taking the time to talk to us. You are a delight. I'm loving the study - it's growing me up & out of a lot of junk. :)
I can relate to your hair issue - I've had MAJOR big hair all my life. Funny thing for me is that nowadays I flatten out the frizzies & fluff with a flat iron as much as possible, then I put a few hot rollers back in the top to "bump it" back up slightly. I want it smooth but I still got to have that 'big' on top. Aren't we a mess?! hehe :)
That video, Jennifer, certainly brightened my morning! I love the sense of humor! I am doing the Bible study and really enjoying it everyday. I love the "I AM" instead of I feel. I wrote that down. I will put it in places where I see it everyday and use it as a reminder of why I am here. Thanks so much for talking to us. Leslie
Thanks for the video- your sold out passion to love what you do and serve God brings tremendous joy to my soul. We are destined to be BFF's. :O) I personally gleaned so much from this study and I have so enjoyed watching the interactions and reading the LPM blogs. A group and I finished the study in May - it won't soon leave our memories.
To all my siesta's. Keep up the good work! I am praying for you during this time. God will bless you so much with this study!
Jennifer-- Thanks for the video....you and Beth are both so delightful and funny...you could be sisters, or at least related. Your study is certainly speaking to my heart and my thought closet. I live about 3 hours south of Springfield and hope to attend your conference in the fall. Nice to get to know you.
I love Jennifer! I remember seeing her on Praise the Lord when Kirk Cameron was hosting and I just felt my soul calm as I heard her communicate. While doing this study, I realized why. She is at peace so, she causes others to be at peace...a true peacemaker as the Bible calls us to be.
Jennifer, Thank you for the amazing hair tips, the frozen food will by means get passed along to some of my older friends with their own weather system's! God is so good, and he is blessing me with opportunities to share him, share my talents and joy. Thank you for your amazing study and thank you Beth for going through it with us! You're the best!!
It's so nice to hear from you Jennifer. I've been blessed and challenged by this study. I'm a little behind and need to catch up but more importantly I want to be sure I'm understanding what I'm learning to really apply it too my life. Thank you so much for sharing your testimony and life with us.
I myself live with Spina Bifida. I've had days where I just wanna quit, but I know this is my unchangeable lable that I need to use to help people see what Christ can do through me.
Thanks for the laugh about the flattenit. I actually might need something in between a Bumpit and Flattenit, I don't know what that is though.
Sweet sweet Jennifer I love you - you are in my Fav 5 :) Your books have ministered to me and encouraged me in dark times - you are a wonderful mentor along with Beth in my life. For many years I have been a tad bit jealous of those women who have had a mentor in their lives - I have asked for a women to walk along side of me in life and ministry but it has never happened - so I just kept on doing my thing. Well as I look back on this past decade - I see two women who have walked along side of me in life and ministry - who have shared my darkest moments and my highest mountains - who have sat with me and opened the Word to me and have spoken truth into my life - and who have taught me - you and Beth - you are rock-stars in my eyes - I just wish that I could hug your skin - thanks for putting so much into my life. I love you both dearly.
That was so fun. I was just thinking how blessed I am to have stumbled on this blog a year ago. It is full of God's word, encouragement and lots of fun. Where else do you find out about "flatten it" or "bump it".
We have a group of about 87 women in my church doing this study this summer. It has been amazing and I am grateful you wrote it. The study is wonderful and it is teaching us volumes!!
awww, Jennifer and Beth, Thank you once again!!! Just got back from youth camp, just a few days behind on the study, and this was great encouragement! Jennifer, I will email you. . .but will go ahead and share this here so others can see, too. . . In our blog group for your study, there are 2 moms who have 9 and 10 year old daughters doing this study with us! Isnt' that awesome? Well, this week, while I was a sponsor at a youth camp, one of the girls in my family group, pulled my MM&L workbook out from where I had it inside a binder and started looking at it. I think I might try facilitating your study for teenage girls. Let me know if you happen to adapt a study specifically for younger girls.
I have to say that this study if timely for me. :) VERY timely. Frequently, God has me STOP in the middle of a day's homework and just sit with a thought for a while before moving on. I am thanking Him right now for inspiring this study. Thank you for being obedient to Him.
So nice to "meet" you via the blog! I confess I haven't done any of your studies yet, but this one is most certainly one that God is using in my life in a big way! What you said about letting my weaknesses refine me is something that I'm realizing God wants to do in me. He is refining me to make me come forth purified with genuine faith. Also, thinking about who I am in Him instead of how I feel about myself is critical for me. I have to operate out of my "new creation" self instead of the old flesh nature. Being dead to sin, and alive to Christ! Bless your heart Jennifer! I think the Lord is doing a new thing in all of us who are taking this study:) Siestaville welcomes you!:)
Thank you Jennifer and Beth!! The Bible Study is great! I love doing it on line, even though I am going solo, it feels like I have the whole country with me. Love all the comments from everyone. Sharon Washington, IL
Jennifer! You are such a delight and your study is such a huge blessing! I have another idea to "Flatten It" - my teenager uses a snow/ski cap. We have no other real use for them in hot central Texas but the ski cap works to Flatten his fluffy wavy hair.
Jennifer, I love your video. I am one of the ladies from the "Okinawa Girls" group here in Okinawa, Japan that has been doing this study on-line with Beth Moore.
Your book has made such an impact on me in the few short weeks we have been studying it. EVERY day I do the study -- and EVERY day God is talking directly at me in such a PROFOUND way through something you had written.
I am at a point in my life -- that I really need to hear from God, well to be honest and as Beth says, "Sit down, shut up, and listen to what God has to say." And oh my word -- He is speaking LOUDLY through everything you have written in this book.
It's hard to swallow, but my closets need to be seriously re-vamped.
THANK YOU for writing what God has asked you to write! You are a true woman of Christ and I thank you for listening to Him and His direction that He has taken you!
Keep up the awesome work. Oh and we can buy the bumpits here in the local Japanese stores. How funny is that!?
With much love to your family and you, have a blessed summer!
Lianne said, Jennifer I love your bible study with Beth and encourage you to do more. I love you and your videos clips. When I saw the bump clip you I could not stop laughing but I like the church idea I am doing my best to take keep my thought closet with who I am

LOL! Hard to say which has made my day more Bumpits or Flattenits.
Jennifer, you are absolutely adorable!! Thank you for your encouragemant....BTW...I am "coveting" the leopard print chair :-) Love to you and LPM
She is too adorable. I have huge hair that my hairdresser is forever "thinning out"! To no avail. I am hugely blessed by her workbook and the chapter on "anger issues" which I swore I did not HAVE, is just what I needed.
Oh, Jennifer, you're awesome! And I so needed to be reminded today that who I am and what I struggle with are not the same! I'm a fellow big-haired Siesta, so I loved the flatten-it ideas! LOL

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!! How I love you ladies! Thank you for ALL for being such amazing vessels for God! You shine His light so bright!
Hugs-

I sure needed to hear this, who I am. I am a child of the King, not what I tell myself I am. Thank you Jennifer! I am slowly working on the study (solo), and memorizing the scriptures.
Now, the hair issue.... I have very short, fine, thin, hair. I gel it, spray it, flat iron it so it sticks out, spray it again, and since I am a hairdresser,(I know this works...) I spray it again for good measure.

I don't need the bump it, few times I have needed the flatten it. I got the curl body thang happenin'.
I like the trucker hat..and yes, backwards.....that's cool.
Thanks LPM for that liitle note from Jennifer.
Thank you Jennifer for your insight into our "Thought Closets". I have been cleaning out my closet and can't believe how cluttered it had become. It is so wonderful how it lifts my spirits to change my thought patterns to those of God's!
It has been truly freeing for me to stop thinking things are all about me when I don't even enter into the equation sometimes!

Thanks, Jennifer - and thanks Beth, for sharing her and her wit and wisdom with all of us.
I'm gonna go have me a great day now,

Oh this was so wonderful to see. Now Mama Beth I want you to know that I respect your hair issues..but I must say Jennifer's suggestions for hair fit me and she has short hair like me...so I must say she is an angel with her hair ideas...Can you imagine if they actually had something called flatten it and who knew the you could feed the dog and do your hair with one bowl? I am thankful for you and this study and my siestas and Jennifer who pops in once in a while.
HOpe you are having a great hair day

Jennifer--
So glad to know about flattenits. I need them!!!
Enjoying the study so much...will be doing it with a church group in the fall.
Thanks for sharing so much from your heart and His Word.
LOL!! What a blessing to have you on board with the rest of us Siesta's.....
You are so funny!!! I to have big hair. And, I come from the age of "backcombing" it to get it to stand up even higher.....I love the new flatter look!! Haven't tried the veggies, but maybe I should!!

Glory to the One who refines us all!
Jennifer,
Thanks so much for posting. Its so nice now to have a voice to go with all of the study. I am getting quite a bit out of this study, thank you.
Too funny about "Flattenits"!
just way too much fun! Jennifer, I've been concentrating on "4:8"-ing my thoughts; thanks for the encouragement.
bev,Stayton, OR
So stinkin' hilarious!!!!! M first time meeting you Jennifer and it was a delight. May God bless you too!!

Precious and adorable! Thanks for sharing the video!
Where else could we get tips to pump up our hair or deflate it... all while being spiritually fed (inflated?)! :) Are we blessed or what?
Jennifer, your message reminder and greeting was a perfect gift to open today! Just yesterday, I told the Lord that your study is exactly what I need! I'm loving it!
Lots of love to you, LPM, and Siestas!
Adorable! What a sweet spirit she has.
Although I appreciate the information, I have to say that I'm flying my flag for Team Bumpit.
Oh my, more hair tips and really I could use Jennifer's ! I don't want BIG hair. Sorry all you Texans. Wasn't it fun to actually hear from the author of this great study? Thanks.
Wow! I thought I had the biggest hair. As a southerner, we are supposed to though, right siestas! But my hairdresser said I was job security for her. I am enjoying this study so much! Thanks Jennifer and Beth!
i just can't believe how cool online bible study is! not only do we get to communicate with a much broader circle of believers.. and with Beth.. but now also with the writer of the study! jennifer, that was so cool for you to stop by and say hello. and a delight to see that you have your very own hair tips.. i love it. :)
Jennifer
You are such a hoot! Totally enjoyed your video and was laughing out loud as you went thru all the ways to flatten the hair. My hair is very thick but now I wear it very short and spikey on top so I have no need to bumpet or flattenit. Thanks for writing the study and helping me be aware of my thought closet and all the clutter in there. Hope you will be able to attend the Siesta Bible Scripture memory celebration in Houston in January.

Here I am feeling so fuzzy from the humidity and I never thought to go my ice box! Thank you for the fun and for the encouragement to become the 'I am's' that God wants us to be

Too funny. I have not been blessed with big hair so flattenits would not be needed. But, I don't have enough hair to cover a Bumpit big enough to help me out. (I'm only 4'11"). But I have to tell you, we were meeting at Hastings in Topeka, KS last week and got so excited because as we walked in there was a shelf of Bumpits. We laughed for 5 minutes and went and got the box (even opened it) so we could see them up close and personal.
I love being part of this siesta community. Y'all are too much!
Hi Jennifer,
Thank you sooooo much for the video. You and Beth are quite the pair. Praise God for reigning such gifts on the two of you. Don't be a stranger the this Siesta blogasphere even after the study is done. You are now one of us Siesta Siestas! There is no turning back on this heavenly path!:o)
I love Jennifer Rothschild. Altho I'm not able to do the current Bible study with the siestas, I am doing the "Walking By Faith" study which is wonderful for this season of my life.
Several months ago our church did "Fingerprints of God" which was absolutely wonderful and timely.
I love our Bible study teachers!!!
Jennifer:
I love you already!!! You bring a smile to my face and heart. I'm enjoying your study and using the word of God through memory to clean out my mind-closet!!!
Many Blessings to you!
Rebecca
How incredibly cute is Jennifer?!! I am so enjoying this study and it is really helping me clean out my thought "closet".
Thanks for letting her share here ~~ she is a doll!!
Dawn
You are precious! From one big hair gal to another...thanks for the flatten advice!
Love, love, LOVE it!!! As a woman with big (and naturally curly) hair, I say amen sister!! My husband sometimes asks me if I'm going to "tame" my hair down.. especially upon waking up or out in a windy day.
Thank you so much for your study. I decided to take LPM's scripture challenge this year because I knew my thoughts needed help.. and then they chose your study!.. God is so awesome! I'm loving every minute of it.
Precious video! Count your blessings, you big-haired women. I've lost more hair than I can count through a thyroid condition, but praise God it's coming back--layer by layer. LOL! Your study is really resonating with me, Jennifer. I think the "thought closet" approach is a wonderful and week 4 has helped me understand more how I have let some thoughts into my closet without examining them to see if they are really mine or the enemy's. May God richly bless your ministry.
Jennifer, you are a hoot! Thank you for honoring us with your presence! I'm truly being blessed by going through Me, Myself, & Lies.
Many blessings to you!

Jennifer,
It was very sweet to leave a message for us Siestas! The study has been good and painful all at the same time. I'm so glad to be doing a summer Bible study with you all!

Jennifer, you're wonderful! I can't tell you how this MML study has resonated with me at this time in my life. It's a great one...
...and when you talk hair, you get all our attention! I was born with big hair and only when I lived in a desert was it straight! We recently moved back to Texas and in this 100+ degree weather I'm learning how to use a flatiron. I must say tho I do plan to try a few of your ideas!!
Thank you for sharing the words God has given you through this study!
Bobbie
Jennifer! What a wonderful surprise to find your video here this morning. I am enjoying your study so much! It is exactly what I needed this summer. Thank you for being such a blessing.
God bless you,
Michelle
she is too cute :)
Love it! Thank you, Jennifer. I'm one of those that needs the frozen vegetables for my warm "season." LOL Enjoying your study. Thanks for following God's call.
I SO NEEDED THE LAUGH! and Jennifer encouragement ----- what a hoot! Thanks Jennifer - Beth - Amanda - Melissa . . .
Jennifer! Thanks so much for your message! I love getting to know you! I am being really blessed by the bible study you wrote. I have a RED bowl just like your BLUE bowl, and if you don't mind me saying, you have one of the sweetest laughs I have ever heard. It made me laugh just in the hearing of it! Blessings to you.
Jennifer,
Thank you for sending a personal message to us! You have such a sweet, sweet spirit and I can see Jesus all over your precious face!! I am really getting a lot out of this study--thank you for writing it. There are 3 of us in my group--the other two are mother and teenage daughter. This is her first "adult" type study and it is so precious to see her enjoying digging in God's Word. Her mom says she can't wait to do another one!! We are meeting weekly because we just have so much to talk about--God is so amazing!
Jennifer, you are an inspiration to me. I have family members with the same eye disease. It is evident through your testimony that God works all things for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose.
Tami
Thank you Jennifer! You are precious! We are grateful for you!
Emmy : )
Jennifer-
You are darling. Thanks for the encouragment and laugh along the way.
I have been so blessed by your ministry. I saw you at Cornerstone in "Steamy Valley" aka Simi Valley, Ca." he-he.
I have led Walking by Faith and Lessons I Learned in the Dark both are excellent. I have shared your testimony as an encouragement to one of my students whose son who went blind as a teen not long ago.
Your voice is that of an angel. Whenever I think of the song "It is Well With My Soul" I literally hear you singing it. I also enjoy your womens ministry newsletter & site as a premium member. tons of helpful info.
Thanks for all you do for the Kingdom.
God Bless You,
Siesta Maddy
It is impossible not to love her :)
Since we are getting hair advice can someone share a product for "thickenit?" After all what good is a bumpit if it shows through? Jennifer and Beth, absolutely love the interaction for all of us with our Summer Study! Posting next about our group meeting this week in Atlanta!
Blessing to LPM, Beth, Jennifer and all my Siestas!
Hahahahaha...love it!
Thanks, Jennifer for the B.S...(and I do mean the Bible Study! :)
P.S....I can use the flattenit ideas!
The Journey Continues ~
Jennifer, You have the sweetest voice!! Angelic and soothing to listen to ~
You are absolutely beautiful ~ even with a bowl, Bible,cap on your head!!
Thank you for this great Bible Study!
My hubby took a photo of me while I was studying your book. messy Hair uncombed and in my jammies!Ugh!!! :)
I will have to add it to your site.
You,Beth, Amanda & Melissa should do a beauty routine for us on DVD ~ Hair, make-up, plucking dressing while praising!
It would be fun!
I love all of you so very much!
With "Heaven Bound" blessings,

Thank You for making me feel like part of a wonderful, healthy, loving, goup!!! I really enjoyed you video, thanks!!!! V-
What a beautiful precious lady! This study and Jennifer are blessing me greatly this summer.
I just love this blog!
Jennifer,
I am definetly a "flatten it" girl.
My 10 year old son enjoyed the frozen vegetable idea. I think he is plundering the freezer right now.
Thank you for your words of encouragement. But mostly, thank you for this Bible study. I didn't even know I needed it but boy did I.
Things are beginning to sound a lot different in my thought closet and I've become very aware of the roaring lion and I don't plan on listening to him anymore.
So, thanks! May God bless you and keep you.
Hey there Jennifer,
It's so great to get to hear your voice. You're funny and also insightful which I appreciate so much. Thanks for this study! I guess I'm one of the rare ones that neither has to bump-it or flatten-it. But I have started into my hot decade already. What a riot!
Thank you Jennifer for taking the time to come meet us today! It has been a joy and a blessing! I am challenged to remember that
I am the King's daughter and not what I feel.
Hugs, and blessings to you,
Kathleen

As soon as you started talking about having "too big" of hair, I immediately reached over and grabbed my bible study book to see if it told me where you were from, because I knew you could not be from Texas! As I understand it, not being from Texas, but just hearing about it, that there is no such thing as hair that is "too big". Love you, Jennifer.
Shellie
What a genuine and uplifting spirit. Thanks for posting the video of Jennifer. I needed that encouragement.
Truth! As a woman with naturally curly hair... flatten it - spoke to my soul... : )
Jennifer - my Summer Study group has been sooo deeply blessed by your ministry and your study. Truly truly has been timely - and Jesus himself speaking to our hearts. Know that you were created to deliver this message for such a time as this.
Be richly blessed daughter of the King

Jennifer,
Thank you so much for writing this study - it is profoundly impacting both me and the friend who is doing it with me. I actually had dinner with my mother tonight and told her about it, and she made sure to get the name of the study so that she could buy the book for herself, too. I told my mom tonight that I've already found myself taking my thoughts captive more quickly and feeling less a slave to my FEELINGS and more freed up by the truth of God's Word - and that is just in this short time. Thank you for your trust in and faithfulness to Jesus. Thank you for loving Him and us enough to minister to us in this way. And thank you for this wonderful video today, too. What a gift! The Lord bless you a hundred-fold for the labor of love you have offered to us. His Word will not return void!
Lauren (Seattle)
awesome...thank you <3
Jennifer,
Thanks for taking the time to talk to us. You are a delight. I'm loving the study - it's growing me up & out of a lot of junk. :)
I can relate to your hair issue - I've had MAJOR big hair all my life. Funny thing for me is that nowadays I flatten out the frizzies & fluff with a flat iron as much as possible, then I put a few hot rollers back in the top to "bump it" back up slightly. I want it smooth but I still got to have that 'big' on top. Aren't we a mess?! hehe :)
Smooth hair & Blessings....
That video, Jennifer, certainly brightened my morning! I love the sense of humor! I am doing the Bible study and really enjoying it everyday. I love the "I AM" instead of I feel. I wrote that down. I will put it in places where I see it everyday and use it as a reminder of why I am here. Thanks so much for talking to us.

Hilarious from a flat-hair seeking siesta!

How cute and adorable are you, Jennifer!
Now I know why I gained 4 pounds in one week toward the last of my pregnancy while carrying my son. It was the hair!!
What a servant you are Jennifer. Thank you for the video and your care of Siestaville. May God richly bless you.
Stacie
She is so cute :-)
Thanks for the video- your sold out passion to love what you do and serve God brings tremendous joy to my soul. We are destined to be BFF's. :O) I personally gleaned so much from this study and I have so enjoyed watching the interactions and reading the LPM blogs. A group and I finished the study in May - it won't soon leave our memories.
To all my siesta's. Keep up the good work! I am praying for you during this time. God will bless you so much with this study!
Jennifer--
Thanks for the video....you and Beth are both so delightful and funny...you could be sisters, or at least related. Your study is certainly speaking to my heart and my thought closet. I live about 3 hours south of Springfield and hope to attend your conference in the fall. Nice to get to know you.
I love Jennifer! I remember seeing her on Praise the Lord when Kirk Cameron was hosting and I just felt my soul calm as I heard her communicate. While doing this study, I realized why. She is at peace so, she causes others to be at peace...a true peacemaker as the Bible calls us to be.
Jennifer,
Thank you for the amazing hair tips, the frozen food will by means get passed along to some of my older friends with their own weather system's!
God is so good, and he is blessing me with opportunities to share him, share my talents and joy.
Thank you for your amazing study and thank you Beth for going through it with us! You're the best!!
It's so nice to hear from you Jennifer. I've been blessed and challenged by this study. I'm a little behind and need to catch up but more importantly I want to be sure I'm understanding what I'm learning to really apply it too my life. Thank you so much for sharing your testimony and life with us.
I myself live with Spina Bifida. I've had days where I just wanna quit, but I know this is my unchangeable lable that I need to use to help people see what Christ can do through me.
Thanks for the laugh about the flattenit. I actually might need something in between a Bumpit and Flattenit, I don't know what that is though.
Sweet sweet Jennifer I love you - you are in my Fav 5 :) Your books have ministered to me and encouraged me in dark times - you are a wonderful mentor along with Beth in my life. For many years I have been a tad bit jealous of those women who have had a mentor in their lives - I have asked for a women to walk along side of me in life and ministry but it has never happened - so I just kept on doing my thing. Well as I look back on this past decade - I see two women who have walked along side of me in life and ministry - who have shared my darkest moments and my highest mountains - who have sat with me and opened the Word to me and have spoken truth into my life - and who have taught me - you and Beth - you are rock-stars in my eyes - I just wish that I could hug your skin - thanks for putting so much into my life. I love you both dearly.
Love Shelley from Canada
I love the frozen vegetables idea!!! I am going through menopause and the hot flashes just keep coming! So what a cool way to cool off!.
Love the Bible study and I am being convicted weekly on some of my issues and growing closer to my savior and refuge daily.
That was so fun. I was just thinking how blessed I am to have stumbled on this blog a year ago. It is full of God's word, encouragement and lots of fun. Where else do you find out about "flatten it" or "bump it".
Thank you Jennifer for sharing with us!
Jennifer, my Bible Study buddy and I are loving this study. We meet every week cuz there's just too much to discuss for an every other week meeting.
Thanks for the hair tips!
Jennifer,
We have a group of about 87 women in my church doing this study this summer. It has been amazing and I am grateful you wrote it. The study is wonderful and it is teaching us volumes!!
Blessings to you,
Royana
awww, Jennifer and Beth, Thank you once again!!!
Just got back from youth camp, just a few days behind on the study, and this was great encouragement!
Jennifer, I will email you. . .but will go ahead and share this here so others can see, too. . .
In our blog group for your study, there are 2 moms who have 9 and 10 year old daughters doing this study with us! Isnt' that awesome?
Well, this week, while I was a sponsor at a youth camp, one of the girls in my family group, pulled my MM&L workbook out from where I had it inside a binder and started looking at it.
I think I might try facilitating your study for teenage girls. Let me know if you happen to adapt a study specifically for younger girls.
Thanks Jennifer!
I have to say that this study if timely for me. :) VERY timely.
Frequently, God has me STOP in the middle of a day's homework and just sit with a thought for a while before moving on. I am thanking Him right now for inspiring this study. Thank you for being obedient to Him.
Blessings,
stephanie
Hey Jennifer!:)
So nice to "meet" you via the blog! I confess I haven't done any of your studies yet, but this one is most certainly one that God is using in my life in a big way! What you said about letting my weaknesses refine me is something that I'm realizing God wants to do in me. He is refining me to make me come forth purified with genuine faith. Also, thinking about who I am in Him instead of how I feel about myself is critical for me. I have to operate out of my "new creation" self instead of the old flesh nature. Being dead to sin, and alive to Christ! Bless your heart Jennifer! I think the Lord is doing a new thing in all of us who are taking this study:) Siestaville welcomes you!:)
Blessed day to you,
katiegfromtennessee
Thank you Jennifer and Beth!!
The Bible Study is great!
I love doing it on line, even though I am going solo, it feels like I have the whole country with me.
Love all the comments from everyone.

You are as cute as a button!!!! Love ya!
Jennifer! You are such a delight and your study is such a huge blessing! I have another idea to "Flatten It" - my teenager uses a snow/ski cap. We have no other real use for them in hot central Texas but the ski cap works to Flatten his fluffy wavy hair.
Blessings to you!
Love,

I had a hard time watching the video, it kept cutting out and in. Did anyone else have this problem?
Jennifer,
I love your video. I am one of the ladies from the "Okinawa Girls" group here in Okinawa, Japan that has been doing this study on-line with Beth Moore.
Your book has made such an impact on me in the few short weeks we have been studying it. EVERY day I do the study -- and EVERY day God is talking directly at me in such a PROFOUND way through something you had written.
I am at a point in my life -- that I really need to hear from God, well to be honest and as Beth says, "Sit down, shut up, and listen to what God has to say." And oh my word -- He is speaking LOUDLY through everything you have written in this book.
It's hard to swallow, but my closets need to be seriously re-vamped.
THANK YOU for writing what God has asked you to write! You are a true woman of Christ and I thank you for listening to Him and His direction that He has taken you!
Keep up the awesome work. Oh and we can buy the bumpits here in the local Japanese stores. How funny is that!?
With much love to your family and you, have a blessed summer!
Kathy
Okinawa, JP
