Happy Birthday, Bethie!

It’s our fearless leader’s birthday! Thank You, Lord, for my mom’s sweet life and for the work you have done and are doing through her. Thank you for the selfless, loving, wise mother she is. I pray you would bless her with abounding joy on this day and in the next year to come. Amen! Happy birthday, Mama!

    Dear Beth,
    Happiest of Birthdays to you!
    I’ve just began Lisa Whelchel’s Prayer Journal for Busy Mom’s and you were one of the ladies mentioned on the list to pray for. How neat to know it was your birthday as well. I pray you will continue to be blessed…thanks for all you do!
    By the way, where did you find the adorable flip flops? I’m due to have our 3rd child (a girl) in a few weeks…needless to say those cute flip flops might distract from the puffy swollen feet and cheer them right up!
    Love you so much!

    Of course June 16th would be Beth’s Birthday! It is my sweet Mothers Birthday too. Two precious Godly women born on the same day! A few years apart though…My Mother turned 85 yesterday. 🙂 Hope you had a great one Beth!

    FELIZ FELIZ CUMPLELAÑOS, MI QUERIDA Siesta Mamá! Que Dios la bendiga con muchas mas.

    Con Amor, Siesta Tabita

    (how could I pass up the opportunity…it just fits the occasion!)- If I could have I would have had my husband serenade you…for the pure fun of it- you would have got a kick out of it.

    translation:
    ..Happy Birthday my dear “Siesta” mom! May God bless you with many more.

    Better late than never…

    Please imagine this greeting spoken in the voice of Bambie’s buddy Thumper the Rabbit…

    ‘HAP-PY BIRTHDAY!!’

    …this would be a precious birthday greeting used by my youngest daughter all her 24 short years of her life, reserved for only the dearest family and friends, of which you most definitely qualify.

    I thank God for your life, love and passion for Jesus. What a difference you have made in so many lives, not the least of which is mine.

    Happy Belated Birthday, sweet Beth! I pray that you were blessed! I am so sorry to hear about Beanie as well!!! Tammie told us why we were in Africa and we prayed for you! May an arrival in the near future of a little new puppy began an open door to a new season of joy in your home! My heart goes out to you! May you be blessed in His arms this year as you celebrate another year! I love you! 🙂

    Beth…you need to know that you have changed my life. Don’t get all fired up, I mean that God has changed my life through you!!!! You will never, never, never understand (until heaven) how much you mean to me and how instrumental you have been on my walk and in my healing. Sometimes I think that God made you just for me. The truths God has taught me THROUGH YOU have radically changed my life and set me free! I can’t wait to see you in heaven and give you a big huge hug. Please don’t ever doubt your effectiveness. I pray that God would use me as much as He has used you. When you write about the plan that God has for all of our lives, I can see that YOU are living YOURS!!!! I pray that I will live mine as well. God bless you dear Beth!

    Dear Beth,
    I just had to add my belated wishes and prayers for many birthday blessings for you!

    Actually, I was praying for you yesterday, but it was ALSO my precious daughter’s 13th birthday so the day was devoted to her. Imagine my delight when I found you both shared a birthday! I hope yours was filled with special surprises and many joys.

    Now on to the Siesta Summer Study!

    As I read these posts my eyes fill with tears with all the love you have from us siestas. Sister, you are blessed!!!
    I just want you to know that I love, know and believe Jesus so much more because of your teachings. And I admit sometimes I put you on the pedestal of perfection and God gently reminds me take you off and put Himself up there. And you’ll be glad to know I do. I also want to thank your family for allowing us to have so much of your friendship and time.

    Awe Beth. Happy Happy Birthday.

    I smiled big when I read this because my birthday was two days prior… and for some silly reason- knowing our birthdays are so close made me wanna hug ya.

    Since that’s not a possibility… I said a prayer of praise and blessing for and over you!!

    Love you Beth.

    Thank God for your Quick Word today Spiritual Mom Beth:) Hope deferred can make the heart sick, and I know that there is a greater “yes” in this fertility struggle-(now I feel like cryin’ again…His grace is sufficient for me!)

    Sweet, sweet Beth…

    I didn’t see this post until today – Thursday! So happy belated birthday Sweet Thang! You and your “in again” big hair need to whoop it up real good. Aren’t you glad your Mama didn’t “snatch you baldheaded” when you were a ‘youngin? How in the world could you ever enjoy a day like today if she had?? P.S. My Mama (who had southern parents) use to say that to us kids all the time. I just hooted the first time I ever heard you say it. I love you so, dear Siesta Mama…Jax in AK

    Just wanted to give you a sweet testimony. My Mom and I are doing “Beliving God” right now. We watched the 2nd DVD lesson last evening and my daughter, Natalie
    (12), and niece, Jade (10), came from their play to catch the last half. My girl has been in church, familiar with good solid Bible teaching. Jade, not so much. But, in the last 6 months, God has put faith in her heart! She’s been teaching Bible lessons to her younger cousins (w/my Mom’s help) weekly.
    After the DVD presentation was over, I asked her if she learned anything. She said, “I learned how powerful God is.” To quote Beth, “GLORY!” We prayed that the Lord will protect the seeds of faith He’s been planting in the hearts of these two young ladies and continue to water it. Jade’s homelife isn’t ideal by any stretch. God can redeem the years the locuts are eating and turn her sorrow to gladness.
