It’s a gorgeous, cold morning in Houston, Texas and not a cloud in the sky. Let’s put last week’s severe weather fiasco behind us, Houston-area girls, and have us some Bible study tonight! (Some of you may know that we had 17 flakes of snow and it shut the city down. Exciting times at the Gulf Coast!)
We loved hearing from you northern Siestas who said that, all winter long, you basically schedule and cancel, schedule and cancel, schedule and cancel. And we think we’ve got Bible study problems!
One of my favorite things that has happened on the blog in the last week is hearing from at least 100 new commenters through last Thursday’s post. I did a shout-out to people who’d never posted and you immediately came out of the wood work, as my grandmother would say, and totally made my week! All the regulars on here loved it, too. You are a delight to us. Completely refreshing. Stay with it!
That delight got me in the spirit! Let’s have another shout-out today to a different set of newbies. How about some Houston area women who have never been with us at Tuesday night LPM Bible study heading our way this evening? It’s a completely interdenominational women’s gathering at Houston’s First Baptist Church at 7401 Katy Freeway. We start praise and worship at 6:30.
We would be jazzed out of our minds to have you! By this time in our series, we always have plenty of seats for visitors so why don’t you make the trip, brave the traffic, persevere to find a parking place, and come have Bible study with us? (This invitation is not meant to take anyone from an already existing Bible study group on Tuesday night. Stay with your own! But, it you’re not participating in another one, come get a Word with us!) Look for a LPM staff member or volunteer and tell them you are new with us and that you took today’s challenge. She’ll make you so glad you came.
Now, let’s open it up for your own shout-outs. If you have a Bible study (any day of the week) open to the public that you want to let your Siestas in your area know about, give the invitation as a comment to this post. I was so blessed that one of you wrote in a comment this week that you went to a new church last Sunday and met a Siesta and God caused you to feel welcome from the very start. Now, THAT’S what this community should be all about.
I am so honored to journey with all of you. Jesus is life, Girlfriends. Jesus is life. Let’s run after Him with every ounce of energy we have.

Hiya guys!
I am holding a Bible study on Wednesday nights starting around 7:30 for anyone in Rome, Ga. It's Beth's "Patriarchs" study – I can't get enough of it. 🙂 email me at [email protected] if you want to join. I'll give you more details.
Oh, and to Mrs. Beth- thank you so much for your willingness to share. You just make my day sometimes. It's a blessing to know you.
and I really feel like I do! I have so much to share with you. 🙂 Be blessed this week – all of you! God is moving and doing great things. At Passion we sang a song that said "and if our God is for us, then what could stand against?!" – how easily we forget that, even after singing the song! Hold tight to the promises of Adonai this week, dear ones!!
Good Day to all! Here in Colorado we are having one of our 335 days of sunshine and warmth! Supposed to be in the mid 50's today and the rest of the week! YAAAHOOO Garden work – here I come. My poor housekeeping suffers from March to October!

If your schedule and/or circumstances prevent you from being able to physically attend a group Bible study, Beth Moore Online Bible Studies may be for you.
http://bethmooreonlinebiblestudies.blogspot.com/
Please join us. Participants are currently studying, "Jesus the One and Only." Our next online study is scheduled to begin on Friday, April 9, 2010 (the week after Easter). We will be studying, "Daniel: Lives of Integrity, Words of Prophecy." Order your Member Book now by clicking the following link: http://www.lifeway.com/e7/shop/?id=001299013&cs=1
As a side note, my friends and I have been studying "Jesus the One and Only" by way of private e-mails. God recently laid it on my heart to open this up in the form of a blog. And I actually didn't do it until today. Yes, I said today. I was considering inviting all of you, my siestas, to join the blog by way of a post like this, but was unsure if such a post would be appropriate on the LPM blog. How funny is it that God would direct Beth to tell us to invite our siestas to our respective Bible studies? He really makes me smile.
Also, Beth, thank you so much for the encouragement the other day. I had figuratively fallen off of my horse, but I fell so hard it felt more like a literal fall than figurative. One minute I'm the prodigal son, the next I'm the older brother trying to earn his father's inheritance. Thanks be to Jesus Christ for by His blood it is truly by grace through faith that I am saved – not by works. Will I ever get a handle on this?
I know I am a blog behind but I want to thank you for specifically seeking me out, I know its in the blog world but I am one of the ones you sought out, to respond to your posts if I never had before. I am afraid to read too much of your new book because I know its going to hit close to home and it scares me. I am going to try to choose to believe God and do this ……..
Take Care,
Stephanie
I shamelessly advertised your book So Long Insecuritiy on my blog today and talked about the current Beth Moore study our ladies group is doing. Like I said on my blog…it is no accident that both of these books came into my possession the same week. Especially when I had an insecurity tantrum yesterday..yep…I sure did, but it made me realize just how deep those insecurities go!
The women of Battle Creek, MI are welcome at our Tuesday morning women's Bible Study. We meet at 9:00. We ar going through the book, "A Mother's Heart". For more information, [email protected].

Hi Siestas,
This might be a far reach, but I just moved to the Salisbury, England area (Wiltshire) last fall. I have led one bible study last summer before in my home in Virginia (we are military) and HUNGRY to lead another one here for these beautiful British ladies in my home should God so desire. I am hoping to begin one this Spring. If anyone is in this area or knows of anyone in this area please email me at [email protected] I'd love to reach out to as many people as possible. The LORD has already put TONS of lovely ladies in my path through Church, Kid's School, My Village, etc. God is sooo good!! So Beth, I pray I'm emailing LPM soon with an order of books to ship to the UK. Oh GLORIOUS!!! What a brilliant idea Beth for this post! Love, Cindy

PS – I don't mean to rub it in but we are getting a beautiful snow here today!
This has nothing to do, really, with your post. Just wanted to tell you that yesterday I picked up your book, Believing God, again. Thank you for being vulnerable and honest about your struggles. Otherwise, this
"Scaredy Cat That God is Shoving Onto a Larger Stage ('I think I hear a chair being drug…')" wouldn't be able to identify with you very well. But since you are, it gives me courage and I think, "Maybe I can get the hang of this after all." You often come to my mind.
Blessing God for other women who blaze trails and set examples…

FIRST All Siesta's please pray for the young girl, Chelsey, that is still missing in San Diego/Rancho Bernardo area. Also her parents too. The suspect lived with his parents 2 MILES from my daughter's place and where she used to run before the first jogger was attacked in Dec. How do you thank God for your daughter being spared when someone else's is gone??
Question for all Siesta's in Virginia – Are any of you going to see our lovely Ms Beth in Richmond this August?
I don't live in Richmond but know my way around there very well (my daughter went to college and graduate school at VCU)
Let me know, please??? I would love to know of a group of women going to be there that I could sit with. If not, I'll just drag my poor husband again..:-)

For some really great women's groups in the DFW Metroplex, check out my place of worship, Gateway Church in Southlake & North Richland Hills, TX.

On a random "shout out note," I am a trained dramatist with gifts in theater, dance, & mime! I will be in the Houston area (Pasedena)this weekend (March 5-7) teaching a mime workshop for a conference that ends on Saturday. I recently decided to stay over through Sunday morning, so if anyone might be interested in performance ministry, I'd love to be a part of your worship service ([email protected]).
Blessings to all, and thanks especially to all the staff for all you do for Him!You truly are "living proof" of His grace, mercy, and wild love for us all!
