This weekend was my first LPL. My dad was married in May and my new stepmom bought tickets for us to go together as a birthday gift for me way back in February. It was such a wonderful time for us to share together! I'll never forget the hours we drove home afterward sharing with each other what the Lord had impressed on our hearts during that time. I'm tearing up just thinking about it! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to Beth and everyone involved both up front and behind the scenes - for giving of your time and energy so graciously, for making us all feel so loved, and for pointing us to the cross. I have been in a valley the last several months, and it was such a gift to think about how I can actively wait on the Lord and prepare a way for Him to do a new thing when He is ready. May blessings rain down on the LPL team a hundredfold for their great service toward us!
so, so jealous. Such a wonderful siestahood gathering!!! Such a sweet seista mama. Still in awe from yesterdays blog entry. I so love being in God's Word with you.
Thank you for sharing
LPLive Team: God ROCKED THE HOUSE in Springfield & SHOWED OFF in a mighty way! It was INCREDIBLE. Thank you for coming to our neck of the woods to share about Jesus. Already looking forward to June 2010 in STL!
It has been a great year, so many moving videos of women who want Jesus...praise You, Lord!

So wonderful!! I for one had such a wonderful time being with my sisters in Christ, praising the One True God, learning about John the Baptist, crying because Beth brought to use things I have never heard or thought of before, crying & praising His name because Travis & the Praise Team sang from their hearts & it truly touched mine. I will be in St Louis next year Beth, look for me!! I will be lifting my hands to the Lord & praising His Name. God bless all of you at LPM.
I love these videos and the song is so beautiful. I can't wait to worship in Houston! :)
We were so blessed this past weekend....learned so much more about John the "Baptist" Baptizer than I thought was possible! How rich the word of God is - loved the history lesson and the application. Can hardly wait to start researching me some word! It's incredible how our siesta mama can find so many wonderful treasures in the word....what a gift! Thank you, God, for Beth Moore and the LPM team!! Can't wait to see what 2010 has in store!
What a weekend. 8500 women PRAISIN Jesus together...just a tiny taste of heaven! Thank you Beth, and the Praise team for serivng us so faithfully! God Bless you all!
I agree it was a wonderful weekend, I was so blessed to be able to go! Thank you for your love and your devotion to OUR GOD,and your devotion to all of your siestas in helping us grow in HIM! Love you so much!

Absolutely the most incredible weekend of Bible study, corporate worship with 9000 other women, and love!!! This is my second Living Proof Live and I'm definetly putting the St. Louis date on my calendar. As always, the whole weekend was about God....not about Beth Moore, not about Travis, not about selling books....JUST GOD!!! Love you more than you could know, Beth!!
I am new to this LPM blog. I have followed it for a while but just joined it.
I was in Springfield...it was such a great, awakening, and restoring time for me.
Beth has been so blessed by the hand of God...and I am thankful for her!
It was an AWESOME weekend with those 8800 women and a few brave men. I enjoyed Travis and the band in worship and the word that was brought forth immensely. Our group is already planning on next year's events.
Thanks to ALL of you for ALL that you do!!!
Such a BLESSING of a WEEKEND! Beth you are such a wonderful teacher.
Thanks for the video memory and absolutely love the song that Travis is singing in this clip.
Love the video. Springfield was an awesome time. So worshipful, so amazing. I was sitting right across from where that baby was in the picture. He was adorable. That picture has been in more places. We were so blessed to get good seats both nights. A lady I used to sign language interpret for was there. She'd moved away a number of years ago. It was so good to see her. We hugged until we toppled over LOL. Great praising the Lord, great teaching, great fellowship. AWESOME!
I'm actually commenting on Beth's video message ... I needed to hear that so badly today. I am going through a ferocious season of warfare. I am so weary sometimes I could just lay down and cry. What makes this so particularly painful is the Enemy has decided it is not enough to discourage and attack me. He has clearly set his sights on my precious almost 13-year-old daughter. God has clearly told me I cannot fight this battle alone, so I have called in reinforcements ... men and women of God to lift us up in prayer, helping me keep my arms lifted up heavenward. We can't do warfare alone. We weren't meant to. So I just want to encourage other siestas out there to actively engage others to pray very specifically for you in your battles. It is painful to be so transparent. I've had to shed my desire to be seen in a certain light in many areas. And in that new level of brokenness He is bringing me to, I believe a level of victory has already been attained.
Thank you again for speaking a Word to me, Beth. God uses you so often to speak into my situations and confirm activity I believe He is calling me to.
These videos always make me teary-eyed :) Rich Kalonik and his photogenic abilities are certainly a blessing. Thanks so much for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love every vimeo post from all of the events- thank you so much for this one. I was blessed to be able to attend an LPL event in April and I hope it won't be too long before I can attend another.
Beth says all the time how much she loves women and how much she loves all of the Siestas. Her love for us is so apparent in every LPL event, every video, every blog post, every book and every Bible study she writes. And the most wonderful thing of all is that her love for us is a reflection of her own love for God and His infinite love for us.
Loving Him and you all, too,
Fran
What an amazing time we had in Springfield!! I was able to attend with my mom and sister and about 50 other wonderful women from our church in Valparaiso, Indiana. Thank you to Beth, Travis and the entire LPM team for an incredible time of worship and teaching. The Lord has done a mighty work in all of you and we have been so blessed because of it. Thank you to each and every single one of you! May God continue to bless this ministry as you finish out this year and begin a brand new one!
It was wonderful this weekend...what an inner joy I had the whole time.
Love you Beth!! Love you Travis and the Praise Team...Love you LPM!!!
May God continue to receive glory through all of you...
How awesome it is to see photos from this event in Springfield! I was in the same venue just the weekend before with over 2000 teenagers praising God at the Assembly of God Momentum youth convention. I pray that His spirit is continued to be felt by others who enter that place.
What a beautiful song playing over this final celebration of what our glorious Lord has done in and through the hard lovin' work of Living Proof ministry. THANK YOU ladies, for all that you do to make a difference for Christ in this world. Can't wait for Tampa 2010!

It was a totally awesome weekend. Travis and his team lead the best worship ever...completely overwhelming. And Beth's teaching about John the Baptist was so insightful and encouraging. Thank you all so much for your ministry. So many lives are forever changed because of your faithfulness to ministry.

Hearing God's word thru Beth was a wonderful experience for me. I loved the teaching and the praise team. Thank you Beth, Travis, and all the people who make an event like this happen. I've already purchased my ticket for STL.
Also, please post the closing cause I can't remember everything we said.
Blessings, SusanD
Thank you so much for being willing to come to our flatland :) to prepare our hearts for what God will minister to each of us that were there. It was an amazing time of fellowship, worship and teaching. Our women are going to meet in two weeks to share how God is using what you brought to us in making paths and streams in our wilderness and preparing the way of the LORD!
God bless you all.

Awesome!!!
I always love these videos. Thanks, Rich. They give me a "faith bump-it" to see my sisters, most of whom I'll never get to know until we're safe and at Home on the other side of Jordan - praying, worshipping, loving Jesus and loving each other.
Oh how I love Jesus.
Oh how I love His Body.
Warm in Alaska.
I was there with a dear friend of mine! We both had an awesome time! Loved Travis and his team as well! Thank you Travis & Beth and everyone else who made the weekend happen. Praise You, LORD, above all!
I was really moved by the video shown before Beth came out on stage where it showed THE LORD IS and then all his atributes with bible scripture to back it up! Is there anyone out there who knows where I can get a copy of that clip to share at my church?
I attended in Springfield over the weekend, and God rocked the house!! It was my first LPL event, and totally loved it!! I only wish that I could experience that every weekend!!! :)
Blessings to Living Proof staff!!
Looking forward to St. Louis 2010!!
Brenda in Illinois
Thank you to all the event coordinators for coming to Illinois. Please look at Champaign, Illinois. We have an excellent venue at the Univerisity of Illinois Assembly Hall. Outstanding Parking and Hotels. What a wonderful weekend. Please come to central Illinois and watch us welcome you in the Midwest. Blessing to all Sheila O.
That is a wonderful song Travis is singing on the video. Is that on a CD that has already been released? Which one?
Thanks so much.

Phil 4:8
This was my first living proof live weekend - but it definitely will not be my last. We had a group of 7 from my Sunday school class (we are doing Daniel) - and everyone came away energized and encouraged. After Sunday school the following day (there are several couples in the class), my husband commented that he was sure there would be many sign up for the Living Proof event in St. Louis this June because we were all so inspired and sharing what we had learned!!
We had a flat tire on the way home - it took 2 hours for my roadside service to arrive; but we were able to talk to the lady officer from state patrol about the weekend, Beth Moore studies and women of faith events - a God provided opportunity for sure!!
I have to share one more thing - I have done several Beth Moore studies, and have been praying that my husband would get a taste of what it is like to go deeper with bible study - and know what it is like to have a more intimate relationship with the Lord from spending time with Him in His Word. Well the night before we left for Springfield I came to bed, expecting football to be on, and there he was, his bible open and his Daniel study out. I gave him a huge hug and said I am so happy to see you doing your homework. He grinned and replied, "Doesn't your Beth know about football?".
All of the work, and energy, and stress that goes into each living proof event; all of the time and devotion and prayer that goes in to each study is not wasted. Every time I do a study my life changes, my relationship with the Lord is better.
Thank You!!

What an amazing weekend. I came with my cup empty , just weary and the worship just began to fill up my heart and the Word has been at work ever since teaching me how to prepare the way for the presence of God in my life.Such a needed word.I think if the only word you said was Jesus It would have been enough to fill this thirsty soul . I am researching God's
promises,risking some fresh hope, redefining repentance, recognizing offense, reevaluating the promises and regaining the goal. Back on track,preparing the way for the Lord in my desert, my eyes on Jesus, shield of faith lifted high and swinging that sword of the spirit. So thankful for your ministry Beth. You have just helped me fall head over heels in love with Jesus and his word. God bless you.
Awesome weekend in the Word!! Wonderful praise music! A much needed break from our day-to-day lives. I also stayed Saturday night and had a blast reconnecting with friends. The best friendships are grown with God at the center! Praising God for the gift of the weekend.

I attended my first LPL in August 2008 in San Antonio and told the Lord I yearned to attend the event in Springfield with ladies from my own home church. I didn't think they would attend, and I was there this weekend with 13 other ladies from my congregation and we all were richly fed and instantly challenged to live in obedience when we got home. Thank you Beth for loving Jesus and showing us how to do the same from His Word.

So beautiful! So like a glimpse of Glory!
Thanks Rich, as always.

Dear Amanda and Beth,From Angels on the Wing,Susie...What a joy and blessing to see the vimo on the Springfield,Illinois Live.....The expression upon each womans face was full of acceptance,peace,love and great,great faith,so many of my sisters in Christ I have not even met,and so honored to be a part of on this blog.....just know that I am ever praying in the Holy Spirit,Interceding,and praising Jesus,and making music in my heart to the Lord each and every day,that is what I spend most of my time doing,it is something that God called upon me to do ever since I was saved at 14....so even tho i may not be there at all the awesome conferences in the body,I am with each of you in the Spirit of Peace.... my favorite memory verse is this one,it describes me so well..... she brought an alabaster jar of perfume,and as she stood behind him at his feet weeping,she began to wet his feet with her tears,then she wiped them with her hair ,kissed them and poured perfume on them Luke 7:37and38 so much said in that verse how we all feel about our Savior,huh? Know that you are ever on my mind, and all the siestas on this blog are too,lifting you all up in prayer,for peace,harmony and love in the Holy Spirit....love to you and yours,Angels on the Wing,Susie
Good Bless you Beth and all at LPM for sharing the love and the healing of Christ in 2009. I continue to be awed as I see the thousands of women in your audiences. May you, dear servants of Christ, and we, who have been blessed to be a part of the "Siestas", be blessed and renewed by our Lord. Oh, do we need a "year of our Lord" filled with encouragement and blessings that are divinely designed so that we know only his intervention is the source. I join you in praying the verse you shared with us- "Fulfill your promise to your servant so you may be feared, take away the disgrace I dread for your laws are good. How I long for your percepts, preserve my life in your righteousness" Ps. 119:38-40 Lots of love.
Thank you Lord for the blessing that the Living Proof Live events have been this year. Thank you for ordaining each location and for bringing your presence in each place. Thank you for the lives that have changed and are better through your work in this ministry. I pray for continued blessing to be brought forth through Living Proof Ministries in the year to come. May you bless each of the hands that contribute to this ministry with your rest over the holiday season.
In Jesus Name,
Amen.
So, so thankful to the Lord to be able to be a part of the Springfield LPL. The message God gave to you to share was spot on, Beth. The "unanswered yet" prayers are still on that altar and it reminded me to not lose heart to pray for those I dearly love for their salvation in Jesus. And as a new pastor's wife, it was a time of refreshing; being able to soak in the love of God, my Father. Love you like crazy and thankful for your vulnerability and voracious love for the Scriptures. It lights a fire under my can to be a researcher myself. Have a beautiful and refreshing break and we'll see you next year! :)

I hope that one day I can attend one of your speeches! You are such great inspiration for our Faith. God has blessed you with beautiful talents!!!

I was honored to be one of the sold-out crowd there! Trumping Elton John makes it even better some how!
My best friend and I have started making this an annual tradition. Last year she flew to Dallas and we went to San Antonio (I loved being one of the Siestas there for the Q & A with the lovely Beth and her 2 gorgeous girls!)
This year I drove to her home in St Louis and we went to Springfield together for an amazing weekend! I got goosebumps thinking of the Living God being silent after Malachi for 400 years and the very next time He speaks to His people it's because the long awaited Messiah was on His way! Her teaching on John the Baptist was excellent.
Thank you Beth for your sacrifices so you can serve us in Ministry. Thank you for ALWAYS pointing us towards Jesus!
Love and affection,

I'm a prairie girl living far from home and I'd have loved to be in Springfield last weekend. More than that, I'm intrigued by the quote from one of the siestas about prayers "yet unanswered". Was that the topic for the weekend? If so, will it be made available as a study CD sometime soon?
Thank you Thank you!
I was so thrilled to have Beth so close to my home of Pekin! I have done your Bible studies but this was my first time to see you in person. And when you came up and stood next to me I was delighted to be in the presence of an anointed woman of God! I am still processing it all in my mind and in my heart and when I think about it I'm still moved to tears! Thank You!
It looks like you finished out the year with Godly adoration and Hallelujah. Amen
Beth your hair looked especially pretty from the pictures taken at the sessions
Last year when I was at the Minneapolis LPL I was so thrilled to see that it would be coming so close to my home! My only disappointment was that it was so far away... longer than a year! Little did I know then that God's timing was at work. I was ten days into a slow return from four very difficult months. I came waiting for my WORD that I needed... and boy did I get it!!! I left ready to do something difficult, but strengthened by his promises. God answered in a big way! I am so blessed by Him! I am still trying to wrap my mind around all God did. I guess I should know that is an impossible task!
oh my gosh, Springfield just Rocked the soul!! You could feel the love for Jesus everywhere. Thank you Beth for filling our tank to the brim!! I will see you in St Louis.
I just finished Esther last night, we had a few brave men in our class and it made it all that more interesting.
Thank you Rich for another wonderful job of sharing with us.
Beth, I know you probably have at least five irons in the fire. But, try and enjoy the holidays....somehow I bet you will!!
The whole LPM team is awesome....from the office siesta's to Travis's group.....what a worship team.
Blessings on all of you as 2009 winds down.
I am looking forward to seeing a lot of you in May in Grand Rapids....
Blessings,

P.S. We just started Beth's Nehemiah study on CD.....what a lesson for "such a time as this".
I just want to share a "miracle" that happened to me before leaving for the conference in Springfield.
We moved our daughter to Houston over the summer and I released her to the Lord. It was a God-ordained move. Everything fell smoothly into place for her. I was talking with her on Thursday evening and telling her that I was going to get to see and hear Beth Moore in person. Out of the blue she said "mom, I am in a Beth Moore study."
My heart is still dancing and I felt the love of God wrapped around me the entire weekend. While I have many prayers still on the alter; this was no coincidence. This was a miracle. My girl will come to know the Lord on such a deep personal level and be so ministered to and loved by women who will love her all most as good as me. What more could a mother ask for. I miss her terribly!!!
I was there with my flesh and blood sister!! Your charge at the end was SO incredibly fitting for the two of us as we stood tear faced to tear faced, hand in hand hearing God's love sing over us. Our Daddy never showed love that way either, but God sure has redeemed our relationship and has showed us His fierce love for us. I'm in awe of the WORDS He had for me this weekend. Oh He is so good. I'm risking some fresh hope!! Please post that final charge if you can. Praying for you all at Living Proof.
What a blessing Springfield was! God showed up HUGE and Beth, you brought His WORD with power! Thank you and the entire team for being faithful to His calling!! I would love to see the closing "comissioning" posted too, as I was too teary to remember all of it.
"Please post that final charge if you can," says me and my two friends. We would like to have it handy to boost us up each day. Praying for you all at Living Proof. Thanks for all you to do to further God's Word and His love.
This past weekend was my first LPL. My mom bought tickets for me, my sister in law, and aunts. I received freedom from "nursing a grudge". Very powerful weekend! I've been sharing with the girls in our girls ministry what I've learned and it has helped them out as well. "Do it Lord, Do it Lord..." :)
Thank you for the most blessed weekend I have spent with my 3 grown daughters in a long time. While in our hotel room prior to the Friday night gathering, my girls were laughing and reciting well known Bible verses and for some reason after each recitation, one of the girls yelled "Boom." Although it might seem very trivial, did you realize, Beth, how many times during the evening and again on Saturday you proclaimed God's word followed by "boom." What a wonderful confirmation to me that we were exactly where we were supposed to be that weekend. Can't wait for St. Louis in June.
I just love watching these videos. The Body of Christ is so beautiful. Thank you for putting these together and sharing them with the rest of us!
Our group just finished the "Breaking Free" study- the old one- and I can't believe what one of our girls found! (We have some amazing stories, by the way...) www.wildolivetees.com has a tee shirt with the "beauty from ashes" verse we had to memorize!! You may have seen it before, and I know this doesn't really go with this blog post, but I didn't know where else to put it!
I also want to say how much I have learned about God and His Word from the only two studies I have done so far. I loved "A Woman's Heart, God's Dwelling Place" so much, I've done it twice. I could do again!! His unfathomable richness is overwhelming!!
I've been to so many LPL weekends,and every single one is annointed and powerful and indescribable.
My new interior wallpaper on my cell is a shot of the 8,000 people in worship! :) It is an encouragement during the daily grind of the week to open my phone and remember how many people are passionate about our God.
What an amazing weekend. THANK YOU! Loved every single second of it. I'd LOVE the commission; any chance you'd post that for us?
Dude, I loved when she called that woman a STUD!! Boom! Boom! : ) : )
Thank you Beth for another Spirit led God filled message. God's Word does go forth in power and accomplishes the purpose for which it was sent! Praise HIM!!
Will you post the commissioning please?
Brenda Tennill, St. Joseph IL
Please pray I will get enough money to go to Living Proof-in Oklahoma City December 3 & 4.
I really, really would love to go__I love BETH MOORE STUDIES!
Thank you so very much. I have read most of your books from Paul, John, and In the Pits. I am leading our church group in the study of Esther and Stepping Up soon. God has really taught me alot this year. I love Women's ministry, althou I am just learning God is leading. God bless all of you.
