Living Proof Live – San Antonio from Rich Kalonick on Vimeo.
*We had an incredible weekend in San Antonio with “The Lone Star” of the Lone Star State. Praise God! Thanks to everyone who was praying. We’ll have pictures from the Siesta Fiesta on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. I’ll have more to say by then but I am still recovering! My parents are on vacation this week. They need it so bad. Thanks so much AGAIN, Rich! Have a blessed Sunday, everyone.
Wow! I prayed earnestly for God to pour out his spirit this weekend. It sure looks like he did. Can’t want to see pictures of the Siesta meeting.
Wow… Is all I can say……This was my first “Living Proof” and God was so awesome to show up. Thank you, Beth Moore, for being an obedient servent. God has richly blessed you with making His Word come alive.
Amanda,
You are so precious! I was really neat to see your family dynamics at work at the fiesta. It was pure joy, the whole weekend. We had such a great time and our Lone Star did some major renovations in this heart of mine. Thank you all for your ministry. I have been blessed beyond belief through the years, by the things that the Lord has revealed to me through all the studies. May the Lord continue to bless y’all richly…..
Oh you guys. I am crying. I think I’ve always known this but I may have just really believed it for the first time… I felt so moved by God watching you all be moved by God. I’ve felt touched before and happy, but just now I felt the earth shake! Praise Him and yeah for you! Our God is so AMAZING! I loved also the shot of Beth and Keith. He looked almost embarrassed and her face was determined like I mean this to my very soul. I have no idea what the situation was but thats what I see. Oh if these are the still waters I cannot wait for the Living ones.
Your sister,
Judy
Amanda, Beth and Melissa:
Thank you so much for your extra time with all of us Siesta’s. I had such a wonderful time this weekend and was truly sad that is now come and gone. Thank you for what you do everyday to help keep me out of that pitt that is at sometimes just one foot from me at any given time. I love you all!
Enjoy some much needed time off!
Blessings
Lichelle
Great slide show, beautiful song.
WONDERFUL, INCREDIBLE EVENT!! What a blessing it was to be there!
Can’t wait to see more from the Fiesta!
What an awesome, wonderful, moving, magnificent, BEAUTIFUL weekend.PRAISE GOD!
I had the best time! The conference was awesome. I loved every part of it.
Traveling with my daughter was a blessing and a blast. Getting to meet you, Amanda and having our picture taken with you was very special. You have the sweetest spirit.
Kristen and I met so many sweet siestas and had a chance to get to know some we hadn’t ever “met.” We met Boomama (Sophie) at the airport this morning at McDonalds. A sweet guy behind us took our picture. She’s a hoot!
The reception with you, your mom and Melissa was very special.
I’m so glad she’s getting a much deserved and needed vacation.
I’d like to thank everyone who had a part in making this all possible.
It was amazing!
Love,
Valerie from Oklahoma
Amanda, thank you for this post and the good news that Mom and Dad are on vacation!!!! Praise Him!!
Loved every minute of it! My blogging buddies and I will be writing soon about some of the good stuff we learned!
Oh, and Sunday morning was made that much better by this weekend….
Amanda, I just wanted to add a BIG THANK YOU ,for thinking about all of us(even in your exhaustion) who couldn’t be there this weekend. Get some much needed rest!
12 Siestas from Bar None Cowboy Church (Henderson,TX) will now claim every morning, "I AM AN HEIR OF GOD!"
What a wonderful, worshipful, powerful encounter we had with our Savior!
When we first met in session 1 and we opened to Psalm 16:5-6 I almost fell out of my chair. All week I had the word "portion" running over and over in my mind. I wanted some scriptures for my girls and I searched on biblegateway.com, keyword, "portion". Psalm 16:5-6 can up along with many others. But when I read that particular one it spoke to me. On Thursday I sent a Email to remind all 12 of my siestas of the plans for our departure and in closing I said.."Girls, He is our portion".. and typed the scripture Psalm 16:5-6. When you read it aloud, we all looked at one another and said, "Shut-UP!!!!!! ARe you believing this?" I have NO doubt that GOD was preparing us for our weekend. GOOSE Bumps all over!
Thank you for allowing us to visit with you and your precious daughters! I must say, REAL you are- your passion, your love, & your heart all scream of JESUS. When I listen to your teaching and hear your sincere devotion and hunger for More of HIM..I think to myself, "SHe is no different than you. What he has poured out on her, he will pour out on you!" Been so hard for me to accept. To truly allow him to take over my boundaries…(PAST, Life Experiences) allowed them to be my crutch.
No More…My Life is Not Left to Chance…I Am Inheriting a Kindgom…He Is My PORTION & I Am His…The Down Payment Has Been Made…My Boundaries Form a Pleasing Place…The Will Has Been Activated…& I Have A Beautiful Inheritance!
PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!
LOVE YOU AND ALL MY SIESTAS! Great meeting all of you…Beverly you are precious! You are as sweet in person, as your blog and one question..Who was the Girl that had the Hair question for Melissa! Was she a HOOT or what! She is one of those people you could sit and listen to for hours, hilarious!Loved it! Loved It! Can't wait for 2009!
Thank you so much for the look a San Antonio, and the Siesta Fiesta!!
I am finally home after such a long journey. It’s amazing that in just a few mere hours I am home again when it should take hours and hours by car. I loved my special time with sweet friends. I don’t think I have laughed that much in a long time.
Thank you Living Proof Ministries and Lifeway for another great conference. I loved this one because of the special time with Beth and her girls. I loved meeting so many siestas that have become now such dear friends. Thank you, thank you for bringing God’s word and to Beth for being the messsenger.
Whew, what a beautiful inheritance, now we must all go claim it!

That song just cut to my soul. Its amazing how I can absolutely love every single woman on that screen, and I have never met them! I long for you Jesus—and even though I was not there, I am touched by His presence in that place through this video. Sobbing. Longing for Him to bring His FULLEST in my life.
Siesta in FLorida
I can’t even express how amazing it was! I am still trying to digest everything, but Beth definitely gave us a life changing Word! Beth, Amanda and Melissa, you all are just the most incredible women! Thank you! I’m sure many of our blogs will be going over it for quite a few days!
Blessings
Michelle
Thank you for that! Amanda, it was truly delightful watching you, Beth,and Melissa! The dynamics of you guys crack me up! What a life changing weekend! 🙂
Beautiful!!!!
Daughters of the King in worship are just stunning!
Beth….I don’t know how you do it…I would be filled with trepidation and overwhelming fear…that is just my honest heart truth! I love you and love that God has so gifted you in this way (and not me!!).
Amanda, loved seeing the pic of you, Melissa, and your Dad there too! What a special time for you all to spend as a family! Beth, have a wonderful vacation…get some rest girl!!!!
Can’t wait to see the pics from the Siesta Fiesta!!!
Side note: I had a dream last night about Beth and the conference and woke this morning with Carrie Underwood’s new song in my head….weird combination but I prayed for both!
This was my first Living Proof and I was floored. Jesus obviously knew to send me because Beth’s word cut straight to my heart. It was everything I needed to hear to encourage me through a difficult time and to live as an heiress of the KING! Thanks for putting up the video!
I'll add another WOW! This was an incredible weekend and I truly felt the presence of our LONE STAR!
Thank you, Beth, Amanda and Melissa for taking time to visit with all of us. Unfortunately I had to leave for the airport a few minutes early, but it was such a special time. The Q & A was hilarious–I like thinking of your Mom as "Amen"! (Out of the mouths of babes!)
It was awesome to be able to meet so many of our Siestas and hear their voices. Now we have faces and voices to go with all the very fun, creative names!
I know there were more than 10,000 blessings received that night! Thank you again for being part of it.
I am looking at my Inheritance in a whole new light!!!!!!!!
Blessings to Y'all!
This was my second Living Proof Live Event and it was as anticipated as great as the first. I prayed for this weekend to touch me in way, I haven’t felt for a while…and, well I got more than I expected. Thanks again for all your hard work!!
Elizabeth
What an awesome experience. My girlfriends and I left spiritually nourished and uplifted. All Praise to the Lord!!
YAY Rich!! I had a blast with my siestas!! I love you all so much!! And Melissa, I am finally at rest over now knowing that you use hot rollers. I can not wait to go buy me some!!
If anyone needs me to help them with learning to talk in the mirror so you can know that you will have Presence, People, and real live property…just let me know. You are Beautiful!!!
Very sweet video….very sweet song about our longing for Him…what a very awesome God we serve. Tears filled my eyes – just having this glimpse of God’s sweet presence with you in San Antonio. Beth, I am really looking forward to seeing in Delaware in October!
What an awesome recap video, as always!! Wish I could have been there! Glad y’all had a great time. I cannot wait to see the pictures. Hope your mom and dad enjoy the vacation!!!
I am praying that Beth and Keith will have a resful, refreshing vacation! They give out so much to others … may God pour back into them! Praise God for all He did this weekend! Changed lives set for eternity!
What an awesome weekend. Thanks for all the extra “Siesta” time you all put in. My mom and I really enjoyed the entire weekend. BTW…her anniversary was Friday the 22nd…but she wasn’t quick enough or loud enough to be noticed. Next time I’ll jump up and down for her…38 years and counting!!!
This was
my
first Living Proof event as well. I was so immensley blessed. The Siesta Meeting was more than I could have hoped and I am so blessed and priveledged to have been there. Thank you to Patti, Kim, Holly, Beth, Amanda, Melissa, and all the people who made it possible! Seriously – THANK YOU!!!
Wow! Oh you ladies that were there, how blessed, blessed, blessed you all must’ve been! This is amazing! I am moved to tears knowing that I have so many faithful sisters in Christ out there. How beautiful…thank you Amanda for posting this.
Love,
Lynne in MA
WOW! What an awesome event!!! Amanda, Beth, and Melissa – Thanks for taking the time to meet with us. You are each so adorable!
Amanda, you were so sweet to take the time to meet with us before the event. Thank you for all the hard work you put into keeping this blog thing happening. I will definitely be praying for you over the next few months. Can’t wait to hear all about the experiences with your new little one!
Beth – What a word you preached sister! I needed to hear exactly what you spoke! Thank you for being REAL and telling it like it is! (You looked SO stinkin’ cute in your jeans you tiny thing you!)
Meeting all the Siesta’s was awesome! My mom and I couldn’t have imagined a better time!
Love you!
Kristen in OK
Amanda…Was so blessed this weekend. Had to tell you personally that our small group of girls was sitting a few seats away from you and you look FAB-U-LOUS to be 4 months preggers!! (group concensus) And since there were no obvious green-faced dashes to the restroom, I’m hoping you’re past the sick phase! Just wanted to throw a few props your way…
This is amazing!! AMAZING!!! I love this video! Everyone looked soo filled with the Spirit. Oh, I know that you ya’ll were blessed beyond measure! The women’s hearts-their worship-was soo evident on their faces!:) I would still be recovering too. Won’t it be fabulous when all of us can be in heaven together and worship the Lord together~!?? Every tribe and tongue and nation and every single sister and brother!:)…I hope your parents are having the best vacation! The pics of you all at the end were heart warming! Spiritual Mom Beth huggin’ Precious Man Keith-TOO CUTE!:) Looking forward to seeing the pics of the blogging Siestas! and hearing more about the event!

Thank you, Amanda and Rich, for getting this video of pictures to us so quickly! Ya’ll just amaze me! It was truly an incredible, God filled weekend. And the Siesta Fiesta was not only hilarious, but you all made us feel so special. Thank you!!!!
Praying for a wonderful vacation for your parents- They deserve it so badly!!!! Are you going to get to take one soon too? You do so much and we are so thankful!
Blessings to you and your family-We are recovering here too from this weekend!
Much love!
Oh my word what an AMAZING weekend! Beth you are more fabulous than words! God showed up, and He showed up BIG!!! thank you thank you thank you Beth for doing what you do!
Amanda and Melissa – y’all are to precious for words!
And to all those Siestas – you girls are amazing! I’m SO glad I got to meet and hug a few of you and I can NOT thank God enough for giving us this opportunity.
Hallelujah to the King of Kings and our true Lone Star!
Sincerely signed – the NEVER boring heiress!!
Oh yeah, and I am an HEIRESS OF GOD, I can’t wait to feel real sand, underneath my real feet and see real people movin around…HEAVEN I CAN’T WAIT!
Praise Him! I am an heiress….entitled to a DOUBLE portion. The deposit has been made and now it’s up to me to see it through which I will do through Him who all things are possible! My 8 year old daughter also realizes her heirship after this weekend as do the other ladies who attended LPL with us! I bawled for 2 hours on Saturday morning. They were tears of joy mixed with some sorrow but it truly is ALL good. I know better than ever who I am in Christ and my daughter’s heritage is changed! WOWSER!Â
I had never seen you, Beth, now I see why I’ve heard so much about you. I had seen your picture and listened to “a heart like mine” on tape while driving to Jasper from San ANtonio. I really enjoy your style of teaching, it’s a no-nonsense philosophy filled with a nonsense delivery. I was very much reminded that we are who we are through God’s eyes, not our own or others.
I am very much a miracle too. I have been delivered from myself and a lifestyle of destruction and addiction and now live a life of freedom in Christ…for I can do all things in Christ…I am living proof, literally.
God bless you, Beth, keep up the kingdom work.
Your sister in Christ,
Brandi

The conference was amazing, and Rich did a beautiful job of capturing it! Watching it made me a little “homesick” for the weekend.
Thanks for all you did to make it extra special for the siestas. Praying for a fabulous, restful vacation!
That video was awesome! I had soo much fun at the LPL event this weekend! It was great to meet all my siestas and laugh until my sides hurt!
I was soo in need of this weekend. I am trying, desperately, to climb out of a funk that I’ve been in for the past year and I knew that God would speak through Beth this weekend. And boy did He! Beth, you were on a roll! I went back through my notes today on the plane and re-wrote some of them because I was writing soo fast that you couldn’t read it! And I also wanted to look up some of the scriptures that you mentioned.
Thank you to Beth, Amanda, Melissa, Patty, Kim, and all the hardworking ladies that made the Siesta Fiesta possible! It was soo much fun! I can’t wait til next time!!
Whan an 0-mazing weekend. I’m so glad I didn’t miss it! Fiesta on!
p.s. You Moore girls are DELIGHTFUL.
What a powerful weekend with a faithful God! On the way to SA, I lifted up many things to God and am driven to my knees by His goodness in answering even the most general of prayers. He know what we need and He does what He’ll do! What a blessing!
Beth and Keith, enjoy this break and come home refreshed and renewed!
The Journey Continues ~
REST SWEET Siesta!
I was spending time with the Lord and came upon this writing that so fits during this time of rest and renewal.
Precious one ~ this woman of God has learned the value of BEING as opposed to DOING. Too many women today have forgotten how to simply BE. They have bought into the lie of doing and have become highly obsessive-compulsive about getting work done. As a result, they are cut off from their feminine feelings and nature. A woman ( like the Moore women) who walks closely with her God, however, is free from competiveness, aggressiveness, and the need to prove her worth. Yes, she may be aggressive and high-energy by temperament or competitive and very capable in the business world, but the fact is that she is affirmed not by other people but by her God. Such a woman “speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue” ( Proverbs 31:26), and her family is blessed: “Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life…Her children arise up and call her blessed” (Proverbs 31:11,12,28). Such a woman inspires the man of her life to rise to his own greatness, and she supports him unconditionally in his search for fulfillment and achievement. And such a woman—one closely in tune with God–is indeed worthy of praise as she models godly values and high moral standards. A woman’s gentle and quiet spirit makes her a blessing to the people around her. History shows that as the woman goes, so goes the family. YOu give meaning and purpose to a home. You are the heartbeat, pumping vital blood into the family system by setting the spirit and tone. You help others establish and live by moral standards. You bring glory to God and hope to His world.
So, go pamper yourself!
Walk with Keith and the pups in the mountains and enjoy the smells of God’s sweet Christmas gift to you. Cuddle up in some crisp bed sheets and have a starbucks together.
I love this prayer,
Father God, let me take time to build precious memories with my family. We are here for a short while and then we are gone–gone from those who are dear to us. How will I be remembered? As someone who is angry, screaming, bitter? Or as a loving, laughable, joyful person? May my laughter echo strong in the walls long after I’m gone. Show me the way. Amen
With “Heaven Bound” blessings,
Kim Safina

I forgot to fill in my evaluation form………..I think you (Beth) need to do it again this weekend, so I can be better prepared to fill it out 😉
Seriously~touched is a good word for the feeling I left with. My “issues” are not huge…..no abuse, no neglet, marriage is great, kids are great, love my job as a wife, mom and children’s ministry director….but, my issues ARE real and tangible and God used this weekend to solidify my importance to Him. The top of my border must increase~I am responsible for that, and in my “busy-ness”, He gets left out. I love to STUDY God’s word, but my personal time with Him is lacking and it’s something I have struggled with my entire Christian life. Please pray for me as I seek to make the committment (again) to spend meaningful, personal time with my King. I will start with “Jesus~90 Days with the One and Only”~I got to day 77 and stopped, a broken committment that has led to a dry period until the fresh spring of Living Water poured through my soul again this weekend.
Thank you, girls, for loving on us after the event!!! What a special time for us. It was fun to see you interact and I truly believe we would be friends in “real life” 😉 As of right now, I do not have my own blog because then my life would be way too crazy…..I am thinking of starting one to tell of things overheard in children’s Sunday school~gosh kids are funny!!!! Until then, encouraging words and prayers are welcome via my email:
[email protected]
Thanks again, Beth, Amanda and Melissa for using your gifts to speak truth into our lives.
Blessings from Abilene, TX~Carolyn
P.S. When you get the group pictures, I was in the green group~ Beth is one person to the right away from me and Melissa is laid out in front of me (cuz she had pants on and could get on the floor….not because she was a camera hog, Amanda :)….curly brunette in a green Siesta shirt (so you can have a face with the name)
Beth – Melana and I headed back on our way toward Wyoming. Both EXTREMELY exhausted but it is ALWAYS worth it! Anyway, to keep us occupied on the VERY long drive I had brought along some books for us to read out loud to each other. Didn’t need them on the way down but needed them today. So, I get in my bag and chose a book. Boundaries. Didn’t even make the connection to what you had spoke about until I started reading it. WE are God’s inheritence and we need to take better care of his treasurer’s by not over-committing and spreading our energy over too much property, only just what we have been given.
Psalm 16!
Awesome weekend!
This is a weekend I will never forget, Bless you Beth and everyone who worked so hard to put this on. Most of all thank you HOLY SPIRIT for showing up and speaking to our hearts!!!
Rich,
Thank you for getting the video on the blog so quickly. The event was amazing and it was nice to relive it after my long drive home.
Thanks for your hard work
Forever His,
Lawan Rivera
Phil 4:8
I am still overflowing with joy from the weekend. Thank you for stepping out to bless others. I needed the word HERITAGE! What a blessing to have extra time with you at the Fiesta! You gals rock! Keep on keepin’ on!!! You are amazing!
Sweet Beth – this was my first time to see you live, and your passion for God oozes out of every pore of your body. You are somethin’ else. I asked God to be BIG for me this weekend and He did just that. He never fails to show up when we ask to see His face, does He? What an amazing opportunity to experience God, to meet other Siestas, and to get some extra time with you, Amanda, and Melissa. I got the joy of seeing a few old friends too! Thank you for being the humble vessel you are and for sharing yourself with us. I’ve got lots to digest!
Kaci (the Siesta who worked with her mom and dad at SWBTS!)
What a surreal week it has been for us two (3 when you count Miesta Moose) from Wyoming. We left a week ago tomorrow,(Monday) and will return to our loved ones tomorrow night. The odomoter is at 2000+ miles right now. WORTH EVERY MILE!!! Sitting in Amarillo tonight, so wishing the time had not gone by so quickly.
What a week we’ve had with each other…with the other siestas…with Beth…and our Savior!
Hope to see some of you siestas in Billings next month. Veronica, Miesta Moose and I will be there!!!
Melana in Wyoming (almost)
