Siesta SMT Celebration Audio Downloads
I can hardly believe a month has gone by since the Siesta Scripture Memory Team Celebration here in Houston. We had a blast studying, worshipping, and fellowshipping with the 500 ladies who attended. We promised to make the messages available to all the SSMT participants who weren't able to join us. The downloads were ready last week but we were just getting the SLI discussion group off the ground and I wanted to let it take root before I buried the posts. Thanks so much for your patience! I hope you will enjoy listening to the sessions this weekend.

Thanks so much for these. I can't wait to listen.
I am looking forward to hearing this. Thanks.I am primed by what has been written on the various blogs.
Woe! I'm with Transparent Mama.... I can't wait to listen. My heart is already pounding in its anticipation!!!!!!! I'm already blessed from them and I haven't even heard a word of it yet!!!
:)
Thank so much you guys! This brings back some incredible memories and reminds me how blessed I am to be a part of this Siesta blogging community, and dare I say, blogging family! Blessings to all my fellow Siestas!
Love,

Oh I can't wait to rehear this!
I am sooooo glad you posted the commissioning seperate like that!!
What a blessing that time was!!!
Thanks so much.
Blessings,
Michelle in VT
Thank you SO much!!!
Hugs,
Adrienne
Wonderful, wonderful memories! I definitely kept repeating a verse I needed on Monday!
Amanda,
Thanks so much for making these available! The SSMT was so lifechanging to me, but I knew early only that God was saying No to going to Houston last month.
Appreciate the opportunity to hear Beth's challenge to us!
Blessings,
Dori
I am so thankful for these. When I get home I am going to download them so I can listen. My heart is beating fast in anticipation. Thank you so much for thinking of us.
Love you
Thank you so much for making these available to us! Can't wait to listen to them...when children are napping! :)
Amanda, is it possible to save these mp3 files, so that I can download it onto iTunes and listen via my iPod or do I need to be at my computer to listen? (I'm not "technically-gifted!")
If I find a free moment this weekend (which probably won't happen due to our Missions Conference starting TOMORROW) I just might be listening to them all over again.
Thanks for sharing the love!
Oh, Siesta's!!! I am so excited to hear the teaching again. It was an incredible weekend. I'm praying for all the siesta's who weren't able to attend... that you will receive as big a blessing hearing the teaching as we did listening in person. I know God can and will bless the audio! Thank you, Amanda, Beth and all the LPM staff for all you do!
Jackie
Miss Beth,
Thank you so much for posting these!
In Him, Taylor
haha Thanks AJ!
;)
Thank you so much for making these available ladies. This is a wonderful gift!
Hope things are going better with the blog transfer!
Jina
YES!!! (pumping my fist like Jackson!) This has made my day!
Can't wait to "Press it in" even more!
I am SO excited! : )
And how cute is the Commissioning! : )
Thank you so much for posting these on the blog. I didn't participate with the scripture memory but this is a message I really needed to hear. I have been asking God to move me, show me a new path, a new purpose. I can see now that I am exactly where He wants me. I am not finished with this season in my life yet. It is up to me to find the "Wonder".
Praise God for His infinite wisdom
Thanks so very much......You are the best and most generous...
Oh, thank you! Thank you! :)
This is awesome, awesome! Thank you!
What a fun memory.
Wendy
Thanks for posting the Audio for your Siesta weekend. It is great. I am the Women's Ministry Director at my church and because of the economy we are do the Loving Well Retreat in a box this weekend instead of going away and getting a speaker. We have had a great turn out. Everyone wants to hear Beth Moore! Thanks for all that you do!
Siesta Time. I needed this today.
Thanks so much for sharing this with everyone. I was privileged to be there, but hearing it again is such a blessing! Now I can see what notes I missed taking!

What a blessing for those who were unable to attend! Thank you so much!
Have a blessed weekend!

Thank you for posting these. It means a lot to be included even though I couldn't come.

Oh, I'm so excited to re-live such a wonderful weekend and be reminded of all the teachings . . . and hear fresh the stuff I didn't catch the first time around!
Blessings!
Shana
Thank you so much!
Even having been privileged to attend the celebration, I look forward to renewing my spirit and resolve this weekend.
A rough year, yes. But knowing that we have honored Our God and are the "delight of our Father's heart" is more than enough reward.
Thank you, Dear Beth, Amanda, Melissa and LPM team for leading us on this journey.

YEAH!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, thank you! So glad to have these to remember a wonderful weekend! And the cuteness of the commissioning PDF matching the weekend color scheme is a major bonus :)
I wasn't one of the Siestas this last year, but I have to share God's wonder in just blessing me with this teaching from Psalm 119. I had planned this weekend to attend your "Loving Well" weekend retreat at a local church with two dear friends. It's been planned for weeks and I was SO looking forward to it. Some family obligations came up that I need to be there for and I was feeling sorry for myself not being able to go. Then I get on the blogspot and there's this FREE teaching that so spoke to my heart, can't wait to listen to session two later this weekend. Thank you and thanks be to God for his perfect timing and showing me his wonder today!
Thanks so much for posting this! I can't wait to hear it again! Thanks also for the commissioning. It was so special, and I want to keep it always!

I was just looking at my calendar this morning and was counting back to the wonderful Siest SMT weekend. It was truely a gift from above, and I thank you all for being such faithful vessels.I can't wait to listen again!
Much Love

Thanks so much for putting these on here :) Looking forward..!
Thank you so much!!! I have been looking so forward to these!!!
Thank you so much for posting these. I was able to attend but I am so excited to be able to download them and listen to them again.
Thank you. I couldn't make it to the celebration and am anxious to download and listen to these. Thanks again.
Thank you! I really wanted to attend the celebration, but just wasn't able to. I am looking forward to listening to these over the next few days.
many many thank yous, thank you! I so appreciate the gift of hearing these powerful words again! May the Lord bind them to our hearts and minds that we'd hold fast to his precepts- Thank You Beth for sharing what the Lord puts on your heart! He uses you and ALL of LPM in such mighty ways! And what a blessing this community is too. Praise the Lord!
Thank you so very much for this gift.
What a wonder this teaching is! Thank you so much for blessing those of us who couldn't come to the SSMT weekend with sharing Beth's teaching through the blog. I've been teaching Psalms 119 to my Kairos Ladies Class for the past 3 weeks...we've got at least 2 more weeks to go and we are truly seeing wonderful things for this exact moment in time! Also, our church is beginning a co-ed "Here and Now, There and Then". The men had heard so much about our Ladies Beth Moore studies they asked why couldn't they join us? So our beloved Pastor opened the study up to the whole body on Sunday evenings starting this Sunday! PTL! We are so blessed and looking forward to a great and insightful study on Revelations led by your Mom!
Hugs,
Pam H.><>
Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!
I listened to it all in one sitting. Didn't mean to, but Psalm 119 is one of my all time favorites. And Beth kept hitting on one personal note after another. I was thrilled, convicted, thrilled and blessed.
Thank you again!
Heidi
What fun we had. I am so, so, so glad that you posted the commissioning statememt. Thank you.
Miss Beth.
I've finished listening the audios, and need to tell you...
Our God *ordained* me to hear them in this very season (specifically, week, down to this very day).
He laid Psalm 119 upon my heart a two days ago, and I had already read the first 16 verses (8 each day); I will continue reading through it for the next 20 days.
Every portion of the lessons spoke directly into 'right where I am' in life. His Word is life to my soul. Mine has been downcast lately (Psalm 42:11), but I am hoping in God!
Isn't He so good?
Thank you for hosing the Siesta gathering. And, I love you, too.
His,
Taylor
Thank you so much. I looking forward to listening to it....I was so tired while I was in Houston. I don't think I slept the entire week before I went because I was so excited!!
THANKS
Kelly Snodgrass
Can't wait to hear the sessions...
I was so blessed to be there, but am very thankful for the commissioning document!
Thank you all for everything you do!
Thank you, thank you!! This is such a gift. Although I was there, I'll be able to relive that time together in quiet where I can absorb more each time I listen.
Thanks for including the Commissioning in print.
Thank you so much!!
thank you so much for doing this. i didn't know we were going to get to hear it and when i read the "run on" sentence from psalm 119 in some of the pics my heart ached with it.. it defines me. thanks for giving me the opportunity to hear what brought about that run-on sentence. and also for the TREAT that comes at the end of a good long year of memorizing scripture and sojourning with you gals. i love it. i love HIM. i love His Word.
happy weekend everyone! :)
Thank you Beth and Amanda for making these available. I'm actually looking forward to doing the after dinner dishes with my Ipod on my hip! My Commissioning Document will also be displayed on my refrigerator, I love it! Thanks for making those of us who could not attend feel a part of this.
Thanks so much, Beth!
Can't wait to listen to them!
blessings,
Siste Lynn
Cool...Yay they get to be blessed with that awesome message!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I spent the day listening to the sessions, printing the commissioning and tucking it in my spiral. It was almost like being there. I memorized my verses all through 2009 and this was like putting the whipped cream and the cherry on my cake. Profound words that will stay with me forever.

Thank you so much for these wonderful sessions. I cherish the listening time. I have been "IN" for a couple of weeks looking out at 3-4 feet of beautiful snow here in WV. You are in my prayers as you do so much for HIM which helps so many of us. Love and Blessings to you all. Suzann
This will be great to hear again as my note taking of Psalm 119 needs some gaps filled in. Thank you!
Thank you for these!!!! Thank you!!!!
thank you sooo much! i can not wait to listen to these! :)
This weekend and the whole event - the whole YEAR - the whole PLAN was highly favored of God - His Word was the PRIMARY focus and it was the sweetest fellowship EVER.
Thank you Beth for sponsoring all of us - your daughters and the LPM staff were dee-lightful!
I thank you for posting these Amanda!
Love you all,
Georgia Jan
Oh such sweet memories! That weekend was the highlight of my year. I was very blest to be apart of this event and to meet so many new ladies who though we had never met, we felt a bond through our love for God and His word. Thank you all for leading us down this road. I am so looking forward to a repeat!
Love you guys,
Jan
Thank you SO much for posting this!
I was there, but can't wait to listen again.
I just picked up my pictures today and am ready to put them in an album. I'm glad to have the commission to print off and put in the album.
I'll never forget that very special weekend.
Thanks again!
Love,
Valerie
I've been looking forward to these downloads for weeks. Thank you! Thank you!

Thanks so much, Amanda! Can't wait to hear your Mama's messages again! Just reading that Commissioning brought back sweet memories of holding hands with Mel and grinning ear to ear. Love you!
Oh Beth, thank you so much and praise be to God. My memories of a horrific childhood has rendered me....
but my Lord saved me then and now 35 years later he continues to save. Blessed be his name. Shekinah Yahweh.
YAY!!!! YAY!!!!! Cannot wait to listen. Thank you SOOOO much.

Love you all,

What a blessing as my Houston trip was unavoidably canceled the day before. I am so thankful for these words.
I am thrilled that all of the siestas will get to hear this wonderful teaching and that I get to hear it again and re-live that wonderful weekend. I will never forget it. My scriptures continue to run through my head. The Word IS hidden in our hearts. A truly powerful feeling.
Thank you again for everything. In particular, the "commission" - I'm framing mine.
Love you all,
Siesta Elaine
But the LORD is my refuge; my God is the rock of my protection {Psalm 94:22}
I just love the new look of the site-fresh like a spring day. Gives me a bit of joy as I am ready for spring weather. My kids, however, have loved all the ice and snow. We have a garbage bag of it still in our freezer...that we may continue to enjoy the snow.
Listened to session 1 on the treadmill at the gym yesterday. It was a hard 5 miles (honestly I was craving tobymac) but this morning as I started session 2 with Bible in hand I am inspired and grateful. This running the race is hard sometimes...most times. Thanks for pushing, delighting, encouraging us to Him and His ways.
Jackie in CA
YAY! Just started listening to these while on a walk today, and THANK YOU SO MUCH BETH for in the beginning talking straight to those of us who couldn't attend the event and telling us you guys were thinking of us!!! I felt so loved...
Loving learning about Psalm 119 (176 verses!!!!!) :-)

Dear Beth
Just starting to listen to these sessions and as you finished your opening my prayer, my heart is so full. I am not a regular "commenter" (except for scripture posts) though I do follow this blog and find it such an encouragement. (and have prayed for many siestas) I just said to the Lord, I have to share some of what is in my heart or it will be burst. So here I am.
I am 67 years old and can`t tell you what the encouragement to memorize scriptures has meant to me. Haven`t done it all perfectly, but I did it and have even chosen to do a couple on my own this year, already. I did not become a Christian until I was 31, and still feel like I am such a baby in many ways, although our family (husband and 3 sons serving the Lord) have grown and ministered in different ways these years. We cut our teeth on scripture, and believed every Word, and lived our lives according to what we read and learned. My husband would say to our 3 teenage sons when they would question a decision involving them, "Because it says so in the Bible - right here!" We have been through many trials (my husband has m.s.), but God has been SO FAITHFUL and kept us believing and trusting in the Word, and never failed to keep His promises to us.
Now we have 11 grandchildren, 2 Pastor sons and 1 fruit-bearing lay pastor son, and 3 awesome God-fearing daughter-in-laws. Who are we, that we should be so blessed.
My purpose for this post, is to say a huge thank you, Beth Moore, for being a large part of what has kept the women of our family, fresh in the Word, believing God, praying for our family, and others. You have been raised up to not just one generation, but several, to keep us focused on our God in these dark days.
One of my daughter-in-laws (my Ruth) and 2 granddaughters (17 & 18) and myself, are coming to see and hear you (&Travis) in March, in Toronto. We are all so excited!! and so wanting to receive all that God has for us. We will be representing 3 of the generations that God has so incredibly blessed to be taught by you. Your life testimony and your life example tells us all- that -God is Who He says He is and God can do what He says He can do and encourages us on!!
O.k. a longer post than intended and I hope you get to read it because it is written with much love and tears of gratitude to God.
Even if you don`t - Amanda will - love you dear girl - you and your sister are an encouragement of how we can claim our families to serve the Lord.
We pray for the Moore household.
Now, I will get back to listening to my session.
Love and prayers
Diane from Ontario, Canada
(so incredibly blessed to be a part of this beautiful community of siestas - love you all.)
Hey, Melissa or Beth, theological question, maybe? When traveling through the desert with the tent of meeting and the ark. Where do you think they got their water for cleansing the offerings and washing themselves? Do you think they needed to find a spring or oasis before they set up camp?
thank you so much for posting this. I was at the smt celebration and am so excited to be able to hear the message again. There is always so much information packed into such a short time it is always hard for me to process it all at once! now i can listen again slowly and be able to gain more understanding.
thanks again!
thank you so much for doing this! i can't wait to take time out and listen to all that i missed!
this is truly proof that you all care so deeply about ALL of us and you are SO real!
love you all and can't wait to be BFF's in heaven!
I just wanted to thank you soooo much for letting us hear the siesta celebration. I memorized 24 scriptures 2009 by the Grace of God & I such felt His pleasure in doing so. I was so encouraged by you & all the "siestas" that participated. I so wanted to be @ the event but wasn't able to make it, so once again, Many Thanks & Much Love. I know that through it all God opened my eyes to some WONDERFUL things in His Law.(Psalm 119:18) I pray this year for you & all the women who participated that God would continue to fill you with Deep WANT OF WONDER & open our minds to understand the scriptures(Luke 24:45). I have been deeply blessed.
Thanks again!
In Christ's Mighty Love,

Psalm 119:105
Thank you, Amanda!
What a gift! Thank you very much! God bless you.
I am so excited to get to listen and hear more than I heard the first time. This event was one of the most phenomenal weekends of my life. I needed to be reminded as you taught Psalm 119 that I really am a foreigner since Heaven is my home and not this earthly world.
Thank you Amanda for posting these sessions. I listen and am reminded this experience is in anticipation for what is to come as scripture teaches.
Thank you Beth for the challenge to meditate/memorize scripture. The best part of 2009 was the effect of realizing I could do it.
Plus the benefit of claiming scripture as I lived through various experiences.
Thank you LPM Staff for all you do in support of this ministry. I am blessed because of all of you.
This was a song I had to sing.
Sylvia
It was an amazing time shared with all the other Siesta's. I continue to use His word that I hid in my heart in 2009. Oh what a treasure it is!! Thank you for the commission and reminder to cry out to Him when life is hard. Indeed He answers our cries!
This means the world to me..thank you sooooo much!
Beth, on a totally unrelated note a group of us are doing Breaking Free and I just found this t-shirt site. :)

Thank you for making sure we got the messages, such a blessing.
With love in Christ

LOL on the JK I am never BOOMM with you! thanks for the mad texting skillz!
Amanda,
I never actually signed in but I was memorizing Scripture along with all of you. I felt that God gave me the assignment of memorizing Psalm 119 (I'm up to verse 39 now). I was blown away when I saw that Beth chose that Psalm to teach during the weekend, and *so* disappointed that I wasn't an official part of the festivities. I kept praying that somehow God would make this teaching available since I'm still immersed in the memorizing and studying of it. Thank you for your faithfulness, for this is an answer to prayer!
Blessings to you and your Mom.
Thanks to Beth, Amanda, Mellisa, All the LPM staff and the staff of First Baptist Church for all they did for us. The Seista meeting was wonderful and the memory verses have meant so much. Thanks for posting it all.
Love you all so much.
Susan
I just saw this post and can't wait until I have time to listen later in the week. Thank you!

Thanks so much for sharing this!!! I listened to it laying by the pool yesterday. Oh the wonders of weather in Mobile, Al....snowball fights last weekend and a sunburn this weekend. Anyways, it was an awesome message and I'm sure I will need to listen to it again at some point down the road. Everything I have ever heard or read by Mrs. Moore is truly amazing and speaks to women of all ages. Thanks so much for everything ya'll do. This ministry is truly a blessing to me and I'm sure countless other women.
Thanks for all you do!!
-Lindsay
P.S. I'm looking forward to Atl in April.
Hello Beth!
You made me smile : )
So far I have only listened to the first night of recordings, in which you talked about being Resident Aliens. For me that brought a grin as I live with one : ) My "man" is from Europe and nearly 25 years ago he received a "Resident Alien" card, which he is suppose to carry with him at all times, should he be asked for this identification. We tease him now and then about being an alien..........now we have all joined the group by your definition : )
Also, I smiled when you mentioned the show "24". I had heard of the show from a few friends and family members, however had never watched it myself. So when you also mentioned the show, I'll admit it started a week long succession of "cultural date nights" for my man and I. He or I made tea, brought the tray into our room, set up our laptop and watched season one over an 8 day period. Yes....I'm sure they are controversial......won't even go there : ) however I did want to mention that I truly grinned from ear to ear when you mentioned the show. At times it must be difficult to be a teacher in "high places" : ) I do love you dearly and pray for you and yours, as you allow yourself to be put in the spotlight.
Blessings sister! Thanks for being real.....so refreshing in Christendom!!
Amanda-thank you so much!! I just finished session one and I am heading into session two...we are snowed in and the kids are being quiet-their older :-). It has been a perfect way to spend my Sunday afternoon. I am feeling so spiritually blessed. I had to grab my scripture cards and have them near. They mean so much to me. I am doing a verse a week this year but had lost my zeal over the past few weeks. My passion for memorizing His words has retured. I so love His law!!
Again, thank you for making this possible for those of us who were not able to be there. The timing could not have been better!

Thank YOU so much! What a blessing.

Beth - Ontario
Thank you for the downloads. I listened and need to listen again.
Even before I heard that Beth had taught on Ps. 119 at the SMT celebration, I had decided to do memory work from that chapter this year. Since I no longer have an accountability group (hint, hint), I have decided to extend the challenge to my 2nd-3rd grade Sunday School class, so they are memorizing some of the verses with me.
Due today - "Open my eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of your law." (v18).
Anne
Beth et al, I just completed the audios. I laughed, I cried and I cried some more. Thank you. Thank you again for blessing us, the ones who could not be there in person, with this empowering message. My "spiral" will be a yearly adventure...a continued life transformation.
This ministry is a blessing beyond what words could give justice to. Love you gals.
In His Graces~Pamela
Love it...........would still love more pics! Thanks for all you do.
Just finished listening to it. I found so much of the stuff talked about to relate so well to the homework for Breaking Free (updated edition) that I was working onthis afternoon - especially the part about being happy. That just fit so well with the last day of homework for week 6 "To live happily ever after". Thank you for posting this. It was needed for me this weekend.
So awesome! Thanks!
Thank you so much for posting these sessions, especially for those of us who could not attend. What a blessing to dive into Ps. 119, to be fed upon His word... His teachings and instructions.
Can't wait! Woohoo!!
Love y'all!
Holly
what a wonderful surprise to find this today. I haven't been on the blog for 2 weeks or more...been too sick...just now catching up with things.
I've taken notes on the first day's psalm 119 already.
will have to wait to do the next one.
thank you so much!!!
my scripture memory verses are still keeping me "hemmed in" and safe.

Beth, AJ & Melissa, Thank you! I'm definitely going to listen to these, even though I was there! Just listening to the commissioning right now brought sweet tears to my eyes. Thanks for including that part. I'll never forget when my new friend and I were speaking those words to each other. Too sweet. And we love you, we love you, we love you too!!! : )
Thank you so much for posting these. I was so heart broken not to be able to go, especially living IN Texas but it was still 10 hours away and time and money couldn't afford it! But I listened to them and I have been sooo blessed by that !!! Thank you, Beth and all of your family and your staff and all of their families for all you do !
Love,
Sacha
Can someone help me with this, when I click it says they are down-loading, but it doesn't ask me where to place them as well as it says there is an error. THANK YOU!
Thank you for all you do and God bless you extra special.
Got an idea: how about some tourqoise t-shirts with So Long Insecurity writen on them. Just an idea..
Sister Lynn, thank you so much for helping me! Beth and team, thank you for providing this for each one of us that participated through out 2009 in scripture memorization. Lovingly, Yolanda
THANK YOU!!!! :))) yippee and YahooYah!
Thank you!!! These were AMAZING!!!! I cried almost all the way through...mostly from laughing. :)
I adore my siesta's!
Thank you for these! I wasn't there (and unfortunatly did not even participate in the memorization) but this teaching was amazing. I have cried and cried and laughed out loud too. Thank you for discipling even those you will never see on the other side of a computer! I have passed these links along to others who I believe will be blessed and spurred on!
As a CRAZY mom of three little girls, who not shockingly didn't get to go to houston, can I just say thanks so much for sharing this audio? Thanks so much for sharing this audio. giggle...
I am sooo excited! SMT Audio downloads! Makes me very happy:):)
katiegfromtennessee
I was so excited to see the links and listened to them with my ipod headphones on while at work. The teaching was so good and I could just hear the love in Beth's voice. I must say I laughed out loud (and startled my co-workers) when Beth mentioned the Fat Free Half and Half. Don't you know...I buy it!! I know it makes no sense but somehow it eases the guilt when I use it rather than regular Half and Half! I just love you Beth Moore! I always thought you were a grande non-fat soy latte gal.
Started listening the other day....makes me feel like I did not miss out quite so much. Just curious if there is this a podcast as well? I would love to have it on my ipod but not sure how to go about that... if it is possible.
