Sweet Amanda,
Glad you were able to get away and enjoy Mickey and friends.
As for January, I have a siesta friend who is willing. We both need to leave our little ones with our hubbies and save $$ to go. Not sure which is harder?
Oh, how great it would be to spend time with you all.
Pray that we can swing it. (I’m back working full-time, which is a blessing with bruises.) I know I don’t need to explain since you also work with two little ones.
Love you in Christ,
Susan

I second the request for some direction on what others quite time consists of!!!! I wouldn’t consider myself a new believer but that is always something I have always thought would be interesting to discuss with a bunch of ladies, as to what they do!!!
I really wish I could join everyone for the Siesta Scripture party!! That would be SO fun!!!
Can’t wait to hear more about your Disney trip Amanda!!
I would also like to hear your input Beth on your quite time.

DISNEY WORLD!! MY FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WORLD!!!! My husband and I don’t have kids but we LOVE Disney, we go every year…this is the first year in 5 years we aren’t going and I am really pouting about it!!! LOL!! Can’t wait to hear more and see some pictures!! I hope your family had fun Amanda and that the crowds weren’t too bad!! We usually go in September and there is virtually no waits!!! Anyways!!! I would also concur with anonymous about insight on what others quite time consists of!!
Blessings!
Glad you had a good time, especially since you probably had to take turns riding some of the attractions because of the kids. Loved the posts while you were gone, they (your mom and Melissa) did very well. Looking forward to hearing from you soon-

Ginger from Alabama, I too would like to share expenses as I am flying from Alberta, Canada. Maybe there are other Siestas here in Alberta and we could go on the same flight and stay together when we arrive. Doesn’t need to be someone from AB, I’d love to meet and share with any of you. I’m saving my pennies now!!

I got up this morning thinking today was scripture day. I dropped my daughter off at school, came home, and got down to business looking up my scripture. Well, then I realized I was a day early…so by the time I post my scripture tomorrow, it will be memorized. LOL! LOL!

I thought I could pick my own verses so I am not up on the one’s your mom picked at times…. What do I do??
Debra, you can either pick your own or do Beth’s. You don’t need to do both. If anyone has any other questions, just shoot me an email at [email protected]. Thanks! Have a great day!
Thanks so much for the facts… it helps, and the ones on the current scripture memory.
I would so love to go. I have told God my desire, but have to leave it in His hands. I have no money for a flight/hotel or even the gas money to drive and sleep in my car! My husband isn’t keen on it as I am going to the P31 “she speaks” conference this summer. I pray that if God wants me there, that somehow He will open up the door.
Either way, if I can’t be there, I will be there in my heart and spirit… and I am going to keep up with the scripture memory either way. God has been teaching me so much, and preparing my heart for sharing my testimony and my teaching talk at the conference this summer. Who knows what else He will do.
Thank you for this learning and growing experience through the scripture memory and the encouragement to share our testimonies… our stories with others… to never forget where God has taken us.
God bless,
Heather

Could ya'll please do a reminder about the rudeness of saving seats at these events? I have seen all sorts of comments on blogs, twitter, facebook, etc about "please save us a row, just throw a purse in a chair for me, etc." My sister and I stood in line forever for one of your events and got to the front to find that > 3 rows had been "saved." These women are Godly women, but seem to lose their godliness the minute they are confronted with opportunity.
‘Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.” Very interesting in that I was just remembering a sweet story I wanted to tell my grandsons. About how the Lord used a friend and I to find a blind, deaf, shivering little puppy one morning on our walk out in the COLD Montana morning. His owner had prayed and prayed that someone would find him, and listed him as lost in the newspaper. That’s how we found him for the owner and answered were an answer to her prayer.
Hey guys! I am just wondering if someone can tell me which week I am missing (?) I thought I had all 10, but I must’ve missed one along the way. Is that possible to do? There are just so many posts in each one that I can’t find mine, Lol.
Thanks a million….blessings in advance. Natasha
Hey guys, Nevermind about my last request, I found them! Must’ve needed another java, Lol.
Hebrews 2:18 ESV

I’ve been on a trip and am a day behind.
I posted my Memory verse this morning it’s called ” a day late and a dollar short” old family saying but I got it in.
Anyway I was reading the comments and verses and caught several about their Quiet Time. I will soon be 62 yrs. young and have been a Christian since I was 12.
I have had all kinds of devotions from books to just being on my own.
For a new Christian I think to get the hang of what God wants you to do and what He wants you to hear go slow, it might only be for 10 min. and then become longer as you find yourself listening and getting closer to the Lord. One year I started in Ps. and whatever day it was that was the Psalms that I read when the month ran out and I still had so many more to read I just tried to fix them to the date . I read through the Psalms so many times that I now will put the month and date to get to the Psalms I want. I also did a Psalms for the date of the birth of my children and grandchildren and as they got older I would share that with them.
I also found that when I put “me” into a Ps. it made it much more personal like Ps.20:4 May He give you(me) what your(my) heart desires. This would really help me .
I don’t hold anyone down to a specific time of day some people are morning and others are night and then there are those who fall in-between, it should be when you can find a quiet time to be alone with God.Alot of times the time depended on where my walk was with God at that time of my life.
Make it simple for that is all that God wants from you just to talk to Him but also to listen to what He is saying to you.
I don’t know if this will help but maybe some of this rambling will help someone.
Love in Christ and Love to all the Siestas,

Let the words of my mouth & the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength & my Redeemer.
Although I have been memorizing with you all since January, I have just now gone back to post my verses, mainly because I just now took the trouble to figure out how to do it. My four kids roll their eyes at my lack of computer savvy. Am I really a blogger now? Thanks for encouragement to memorize. I have not memorized any new Scripture in many years. I needed this boost–THANK YOU!!!

2. Give thanks to the Lord; call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. I Chronicles 16:8 (NIV)

4. My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. Psalm 62:1-2 (NIV)
5. But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
6. You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being. Revelation 4:11 (NIV)
7. Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. Psalm 90:14 (NIV)
8. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever. Isaiah 40:8 (NIV)
9. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 (NIV)
10. When your anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul. Psalm 94:19 (NIV)

My husband would be coming with me to this event as we have another side trip going on at the same time. Is it possible other Siesta husbands would be coming and that Curtis Jones would plan an event for our men while we are having ours? Just a thought….

I'm late but I'm in! Just this morning I decided I needed to find a way…some type of study or something…to help me dig into Scripture and let it get rooted deep into my mind and heart. Shortly after that decision…I found out about the Scripture Memory Team. What a great team to be a part of!!

Dear Beth…
Finally back on your blog…and learned of your SCRIPTURE MEMORY group and I am so excited to take part. Just had my 2nd chemotherapy treatment for my Stage 4 metastic lung cancer… which has travelled to my lymph glands in my back, liver and the bones in my neck. Praying like crazy, and have a wonderful prayer team…but memorizing scripture faithfully is JUST what I need more than ever right now…so count me in!
(Even though I am starting halfway through the year, I know I can still do this and am excited to do it!)
Thank you!
In Christ!
Gail
I just found out about this and I hope that I can catch up to everyone.

Hey everyone…Is it too late to join the memory team? This is too awesome and it has really been in my heart and a want for me to have those scriptures tucked away in my spirit.
Something i've used for remembering references… i make the reference the password on one account that i use regularly – say email or facebook. it's good for security & it's helping me remember. 🙂
