    Sweet Siesta Beth-
    May God richly bless and keep you. You are making an incredible impact for the kingdom. So many of us have caught the fire, passion & love for the Lord through you. You are a mighty warrior princess of God. I love how in Get out That Pit..you say that you want to make the enemy sorry that he ever messed with you.

    May you have the Happiest of Birthdays.

    Hey Ms. Beth… Happy Birthday to You! A Birthday Blessing for YOU!

    This year I have given everyone in our family and a few friends a blessing that included a Scripture with their “birthdate” in the reference. Along with the meaning of their name and a prayer for blessing:

    Elizabeth – Origin: Hebrew -“Oath of God”

    “What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.”

    2 Corinthians 6:16 (NIV)

    I can think of no one, Beth, who exemplifies this passage of laying aside agreements with idols, and allowing God to walk among “them” acknowledging Him wholly as your God and yourself as His people.

    Lord God, I pray a generous outpouring of Your wisdom, You love, You rest and Your grace to continue to overflow from the life of our Precious Beth. She is dear to us Lord, and as I am sure – to You. Protect and preserve her Lord as she proclaims your word to the hurting, to the suffering and to the “dying” that they may receive salvation, healing and hope through the teaching of Your holy Word. Bless Her Lord, Bless Her Indeed.

    In Jesus Sweet, Sweet Name, I pray. Amen.

    Happy happy birthday!!! We have birthday week here at my house where the birthday person is lavished on for days and days. That’s what I’m wishing for you. Praying that God would energize you with His Spirit and give you a special word from Him today. Be extra blessed, Beth!

    Happy Birthday Beth! Boy, I think you are growing prettier and wiser by the minute. Apparently, you got the anti-aging gene in your gene line. Must come from Sarah. πŸ™‚ Eat lots of wonderfully made goodies and enjoy your day that the LORD has created for you. Just know that we all are celebrating with you in spirit (if my boys were there they would help blow out the candles and spit on the cake) and thank the LORD for your life. God bless your day.

    Sweet Beth,

    Happy Birthday!

    God definitely has you in mind today…before I knew it was your birthday today, I was dressed in the Living Proof Live 10 year anniversary T-shirt. (I haven’t worn it in a while.) He’s so sweet…even in the details. Naturally, you’ve been on my heart today as a result.

    My sincere birthday blessings and prayers to you and your family during this difficult time.

    P.S. IsnÒ€ℒt it a wonder when someone hands you “Streams” to go through? What timing…going through it again this year.

    Love in Sweet Jesus,

    Susan

    Then Sweet Beth gets my very special birthday song, that I learned from the ever-awesome
    (that Jackson needs the entire collection of her CD’s to hear some fun music about God’s love):

    Dear Special Friend,
    It is your birthday,
    This is the day that Jesus sent you to the earth.
    And we rejoice,
    We come to celebrate
    Because we love you and we thank Him for the blessing of your birth!

    May it be full of enchiladas and Starbucks (maybe not in that order)… Birthday blessings!

    We have a tradition in our family to always “sing” the birthday song to each other- It’s a good thing this song comes to you online, because my voice is not the best!

    Hope you have a wonderful day spent with those you love most!

    Thank you, Jesus, for blessing this world and our lives with Beth!

    I’m so glad it’s your birthday, because I’m right now indulging in cheese tortillas with salsa and sour cream for lunch. Now I can just say I’m celebrating your birthday! ha ha!

    Been reading in II Chronicles and 17:9 jumped out at me for you on your birthday! Jehoshaphat taught the Word and the fear of God fell on his kingdom. I have been deeply touched by several bloggers who say the same thing—the fear of God has fallen on them because of you. I know it did for me in the study of the Patriarchs #6 when I faced a major mental meltdown. God showed up through your teaching of His wonder-filled Word…thank you so much. Happy Birthday! Bev
