Hi ladies! Mom just sent me the commissioning statement to post on the blog. She also wanted me to tell you that you’re the teachers pets. We love you! -Amanda
My Dear Sister
If Christ is Your Savior
You are the dwelling place
Of His own Spirit
You have it IN YOU
to be secure.
Every day of your life
You have a choice to make
You can live in your old defeat
Or you can turn from your unbelief
And choose life
Make up your mind
To put off the old you
And put on the new you.
Never, ever, ever forget
That the Lord is your security.
He will keep your foot
From being caught in a trap.
He will take care of you
To your very last breath.
Now, leave this place
And go out into the world
And act like a person
Who knows she’s dearly loved.
You were born to be exceptional.
So, Girlfriend, go forth
And walk worthy of your calling.
You are clothed in strength and dignity!
Now unto Him
Who can keep you from falling
Be glory and majesty
Power and authority
Through Jesus Christ our Lord
Now and forever more
Amen.
So Long, Insecurity!
I am still processing all that took place on Saturday. I WILL say that I have been in one of the deepest pits in my entire life the past couple of weeks, maybe longer. I don’t feel it right now but like Beth said, sometimes you have to walk it then feel it. It also reminds me of her words on the Jesus Saves live album when she says, “sometimes, you praise first, and then you feel it later.” I have a really scary week ahead…I am praying that I live it differently than I have the past few weeks…
I will walk it…hopefully I will feel it too!
Thank you Beth and Travis and your whole team of people for the great day at the simulcast yesterday! Thank you for administering to my heart and saying so long to my insecurities one day at a time! You are truly and inspiration to me and all of the 300,000 plus women around the world. May God continue to bless you and your ministry.
Btw, just have to tell you my friends and I all loved your blouse and thought you looked great in yellow! 😀
Thankyou Beth for Saturday. For being real. For loving us. For allowing God to use you as His instrument to speak Truth into our lives. Every single thing you said was something I have to (solidly)get into my heart and DO in my life! I have gone through the SLI study with all of you and it really showed me some things about myself. I am in the process still of breaking free from my insecurities, but I am determined to live as the new me. My past IS my past, praise God!
I loved your call for us to be exceptional in life. What will I do with what God has taught me? Go for it!! I want to be that woman that others say “except for her”. The other thing you said, and have said before, is how you love being a woman. It just struck me as something I really want to do. After years and years of self-hate, I want to enjoy being feminine, being a woman. And thankful to God for how he made me. (Thanks for sharing about your nose. Which I think is very nice, by the way.)
Lastly I want to tell you that on my way home after the simulcast, my granddaughter (6 months) was in the car too and became fussy. So I did what you said you did in the car with your granddaughter…and I made the animal sounds too! Worked like a charm. As long as I kept making the different sounds, she was calm 🙂 Love it!
Please do more simulcasts…we learn so much. Thanks, again!

Wow! What an honor to be part of a 300,000 woman choir lifting praises to our Savior, and that was just the beginning! What a Savior to send that message to all of us through Beth.
(and btw, a man on our crew stepped out to post that he feels like a secure woman now!)
oh my, my head and heart are still reeling with joy from yesterday. I am still processing but Mama Beth…the statement that struck was that if we don’t let God heal our hearts they will become hardened and calloused. I too was struck by the siesta that wondered if God would speak to her. I was thinking the same thing. Boy did God make it clear that he was. He knows me by name!!!!! That really struck my heart. He knows me…He loves me. Oh I can’t say how much that just about melted me. All the things about the heart. I am putting the six statement about security in my memory notebook so I can read and memorize them also.
I had never heard Travis before and my heart was moved. They sang a song about adoring God and I wish it was on the CD…I was melted to tears by that one….it reminded me how loved I was and how much I so love God.
Mama Beth I so wish I could just have hugged you. Your top was just the cutest. YOur hair was very cute too. I giggled that Travis had to tease about your hair. I so wish the day wouldn’t have gone by so fast. I tell you I just can’t wait to see what God has mind for 300,000 thousand women. As we sang in the song…just do it Lord. How cool will that be?
love you

I attended the simulcast in Hastings, Minnesota yesterday. I just wanted to thank you Beth and also all the people who work with you to make events like these happen. I have to tell you the joy and peace I had on the way home, because I was not blown away by your message! That may sound odd, but let me explain. Breaking Free was my first bible study four years ago and it rocked my world. The reason I was not blown away was simply because I’ve been walking with the Lord and working on this stuff and although I have a long way to go, I’m on my way. The passion the Lord was stirring in me while I listened to you was “how can I teach these truths to the girls at my church.” I’m looking forward to reading your book and searching God’s Word this summer so I can be prepared to lead some teenage girls to some truth that will save them from themselves! The love I have for you is so true and thank you for all your blood, sweat, and tears. We are praying and thanking God for you in Minnesota!
Thank you so much for posting the Commissioning statements {see below}, Amanda!! I, too, wanted to be able to remember them. The simulcast was so awesome!!! At the last minute a friend decided to go with me. As you mentioned Beth, God knew who was supposed to be there!!! She told me that she was so glad she came & she bought the book, then & there. It was a sweet & unexpected blessing!!!
God’s points were so powerful and such a great graduation to reading the book (as well as powerful for those who haven’t read it yet). 300,000+ AMAZING!!!!
I started this blog & book wondering why none of the people I encouraged to read it & share on the blog responded with any kind of interest. Now, I understand things differently. I don’t take it as an offense anymore because I am “supposed to be a poster child for insecurity – Before & AFTER”! What I long for now, is to be noticed as being different by everyone around me. All of my life, my insecurities seemed to have been stamped on my forehead, my tone of voice, my posture, & my conversations. Now, as I “tip [my] head back to receive the precious drops of Grace falling on” me & put on my coat of strength & dignity, I choose to believe that I am a SECURE woman: safe from myself, convinced I am loved, choosing to think differently, being changed by Grace, so that God’s glory can shine thru me as an Exception that points directly to Him & His power!!! (Thank you for your awesome word pictures, Beth!!!)
Change me each moment Sweet Jesus, into the woman you want me to be!!! Stamp me with Your security!!! I want to be a beacon for you!!!
I was going to share my notes on “U” for those who missed it but as I reviewed them, I couldn’t think of what “Upended” really means. Beth, you stated: “Grace takes up the space”… and I wrote down some other quotable statements, including the revelation about the crown of thorns on Jesus precious head and the drops of His blood falling from it: “…there is nothing more powerful than that offering at the throne of grace [for us]. We have to lift our heads up and tip them back in order to receive that gift & offering from Him – that Grace falling from Him.” You also stated (these are quotes but probably not complete/actual – please correct me if I got any of my restatements wrong): “Out of the overflow of our Grace we give it away. Grace is the ONLY thing you can give away and still keep! …sometimes we think if we give up the right to be angry that we will lose but we can have our cake & eat it too – in forgiveness with God’s GRACE.” For some extra clarity, I looked up definitions of “upend/ upended”: “to affect or upset drastically…to change completely…to overthrow…to win victory over…”. YES – Upended in Grace”!!!!!!!!! Praise the Lord!!! Let my life show that to others!!!!
Thank You for this commissioning Beth and Thank You to your whole sweet family for your willingness to be used of God in a mighty way!!!
FYI: oops that {see below} was for me – I copied the commissioning statement onto my copy of my post.
I had so much fun and the Lord would have it that He would repeat 1 Cor 13 since I try to stay away from passages that become cliche. The Lord blows me away over His greatness!
I love my siestas and of course my sisters at LPM! I was hoping you would go all Bon Qui Qui on us if we don’t deal with our insecurity!
You are a blast and I’m thankful for the time to really soak you UP!!! May we do this thang!!!!
Beth,
Wow – I could sense the Holy Spirit at Woodstock yesterday! What a joy and blessing! I came alone from Mobile, Al and met 4 of the sweetest girls who took me under their wing. My journey back to the Lord began May 11, 2001 and God has instrumentally used you and your ministry. Thank you for saying yes to the Lord! Thank you for being so transparent. I really believe that the Lord has greatly used your transparency and this is one way you are set off from many other godly Bible teachers. Thank you for staying humble and open to our Savior’s call! Thank you for writing such a “prickly” book and coming right into our hearts to reveal truth! Thank you! Thank you! And Lord keep Your hand of blessing and keep Beth’s heart open to Your call. Thanks, Cathy
This morning I realized that my dear relative who went with me yesterday has begun to act like the new woman! That wasn’t really the realization though. I realized that I was still responding to her like she was the old woman. It caught my attention and helped me to change my own behavior.
I was one of the sistas on the “other” side of the screen Saturday. We saw the similcast from Abilene tx. & we felt the annointing of God so strong, the music & teaching Praise the Lord for His blessings! We were all truly in one accord!!! Thank you & many blessings
I left a new woman!!! I was telling my best friend that we needed to ask for the statement to be posted! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
All I can say with tears in my eyes is thank you thank you thank you! My prayer that I wrote down in the front of my book when we started to read it together was that God would do the unthinkable in my life and HE IS!Love you all!
Crissy, Nashville, TN
A huge “Thank you” to Beth, Travis, Amanda, Melissa, and the whole team for being willing to be “poured out” for God’s purposes and for being willing to pay the high cost of ministry. Like everyone else, I have been blessed beyond measure.
I have really enjoyed all of the comments you dear siestas have been writing. So many things have been shared that I am in total agreement with! I am so glad that everyone is mentioning them because I didn’t have all of them in my notes. It has been great to be reminded of them.
I am also thankful for the privilege to pray for some of these dear sisters: Leann, Barbara, Diane in Ogden, Elisabeth, Joanne and her daughter Sandi, Melissa and her daughter Ella.
Beth, I loved the little promise book. It will be a good maintenance tool. So glad you anticipated that we would need that gentle reminder as we return to the daily routine.
Something no one has commented on: Being a musician I really loved the worship team and noticed how especially the drummer was putting his whole heart and soul into worship. Everyone singing and playing in the band did an awesome job. But for me, a great drummer really adds a special dimension to worship!
I have a question for my dear siestas from Woodstock, GA: In 1996 God was just beginning to lead me out of legalistic religion into a personal relationship with Him. At His prompting I did a crazy thing. I jumped on a plane and flew to the Women of Faith / Joyful Journey conference that was held in a suburb north of Atlanta. That was the first time I ever participated in true worship. The first worship song I ever sang was “Shout to the Lord” at that conference. My life has forever been changed since beginning a personal walk with Jesus that year. Yesterday at the simulcast here in Rapid City, SD, I had the distinct feeling that I had been in that church where the “So Long Insecurity” conference was being held. Can any of you ladies familiar with the First Baptist Church in Woodstock, GA tell me if the Joyful Journey conference was held there in 1996? If it isn’t the same church, it sure looks a lot like it. And even if it isn’t the same church, how loving and personal God is to remind me of where my personal journey with Him began even as He is commissioning me to start putting on a new secure me for the journey ahead!
Love you all!
Laura
What a wonderful blessed time I had yesterday with 2 of my girlfriends. I have been so blessed by God. Beth is such a Godly woman. Her illustrations were perfect, and my life will never be the same again. Praise God!!
Totally bummed that I had to miss this. I looked forward to it for so long but alas I was busy selling closets at the container store 🙁 However this commissioning statement makes me go “wahhooo!!!!!”
WOW!!! Unfortunately I was unable to attend the simulcast…but just reading this (I’m reading the book!) blessed me tremendously!!!
Love you all too!
We hosted the “So Long Insecurity” simulcast yesterday – the first event the women of our church has ever pulled together. My husband and I just started there 1 year ago and I introduced the women of that church to Beth Moore with the Esther study. As always, they fell in love with her, but more importantly, they were introduced to Christ in a way they have never been before – they knew Him in a way they never had before. This bonded us together as “the women” in the church. We decided to simulcast the event in early March – we had little time – but we worked wll under the pressure. We prayed for 100 women (we are a very small church) and 120 came from so many of the churches in the surrounding area. Praise God. But, the reason I am writing on this blog is because one of the young women who atteneded – don’t know her other than her name is Jodi, wrote a poem during the lunch break and read it to the attendees – it is awesome – I wanted to share it with you:
Confidence, deliverence, breaking free, and so long to insecurity.
By the authority of His Word and the power of His Name,
Your presence here is not a game,
We are women that are called to be
just imagine 100,000 x3
Live a life worthy. You have a calling,
Don’t let it be missed. No one will force it
It’ll keep failling
You have to accept. You have to let.
If you want. You can get.
Insecurity is not weakness, it is unbelief
It is a sign of distrusting sheep.
God delivered us from the bondage that holds us back.
So rebuke the devil when he tries to attack.
Be in the present as it says in Ephesians 4.
You have been filled by the spirit and
the old is no more.
Memorize scriptures, they are eternal and
bring about change.
You will be the subject of the transformation
and your priorities will rearrange.
Be happy with yourself. Be satisified
For it is for you the way that you are that
Jesus Christ died!
A secure woman is saved from herself.
To be insecure is bad for your health.
Everything seems to come back to you.
But with God’s way, everthing goes up and out
and says “too doo loo”
A secure woman is entitled to truth
our desires and hearts can lie to us and deceive us,
but Christ makes us feel alive faster than “poof”
A secure woman is clothed with intention.
She is sure to bring strength and dignity to each of her arising interventions.
Each step of the journey to our destiny
We need to accept and receive
To do this we mus kiss insecurity goodbye
and welcome confidence. In God we must believe.
Well, that is it. Hope you enjoy it. Thank you for such a wonderful day – a bonding day – a deliverance day. A day that I hope will bring our women closer together.

I had the privilage of speaking the commission over my best friend and her over me. No one will never know how much she and I needed to hear each other say those words. I am printing them out and putting them up in my office to remind myself that I am a changed woman, casting off the old and puting on the new. PRAISE GOD! He is so good and worthy to be praised!
The Journey Continues ~
LORD, WE WORSHIP YOU ~ HALLELUIA HALLELUIA ~ WE WORSHIP YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE …
Memorizing Scripture is like attaining your Driver’s License responsibility = Keep it with you to stay away from unlawful things.
I hear the SLI Simulcast was completely annointed!!!!!

I wanted to say thank you for the message I received this weekend. I am from TN and attended the conference this weekend in Woodstock. I have been wondering from the Lord for sometime now and couldn’t find my way back. As you shared God’s word with us I began to understand why I couldn’t find my way back. As you spoke it was as if you had been standing outside my window looking in. I had so many thing in my life that I couldn’t seem to get free from. I was holding on to insecurities and bitterness in my heart and it was slowly eating me alive. I missed the freedoms of God and the walk of love I have had with him. Thank you so much for showing me a way to freedom again. I have spent today talking to my husband and confessing my insecurities to him and mostly to God. I can’t tell you the joy of having my feet on the path of light again. I feel the bitterness starting to melt away and I know with God’s help, time and prayer I shall be an overcomer. Thank you so much for following God’s word and doing what it is he has called you to do. For me you have opened a door I was begining to feel was closed to me forever. I pray you always continue in your work for you are a blessing to many. God Bless and thank you so much.
I have another question for you Beth.
Can we see the iPhone photos Travis sent? 😉
Love you, Siesta!
I need a Travis concert fix please!
Thank you so much for bringing the WORD at Riva Trace…Beth. It was awesome! We grew, and will continue to do so.
Dear Amanda,
Just checked out the blog for the first time……..great job on summing up yesterday. Unfortunately, we were not able to get tickets to see Beth, so we met at a church in Pell City, Alabama to watch the simulcast. This was a first for me and I did enjoy it. I’ve been through several of her studies, but never been to one of her meetings. I hope to do so if she’s ever close by.
I know this will sound so “Beth” to you, but it has bugged the stew out of me that she didn’t mention the name of that APP we can get on our IPhone for measuring our sleep 🙂
Let me know if you can get that information to me.
Also, the small little books that were given out………could I order another one for a friend? Thanks so much.
Your Mom’s awesome and so is her gals:)
God Bless Each Of You!

The presence of the Lord met with us on Saturday in Wise, VA. My mom spoke this commission over me and I spoke it over my mom. Such a sweet experience to share with my mom. Thank you Beth! It’s time to get intentional every single day about my security in Christ!
Thankful for the commissioning statement as well as my commissioning partner at Atlanta, Jenny Hope.
Good Monday Morning,
I had planned for months to attend the simulcast. I had bought the book and did part of the online study until too many distractions came into play. But by Saturday morning, the weather was so bad in my part of Mississippi, that I was unable to go. What a hard decision to make, and it really caused some insecurity. As grieved as my heart was to make the decision to stay home, I know that it was the right decision. My daughter and I were going together, but that meant leaving my grandson with a babysitter. He would have been fine, I’m sure, but with the possibility of losing communication and being 60 miles from home, we agreed that to stay home was best. I will continue reading the book and then reread it. The Lord is already doing a work in my heart in that area, and I praise Him.
The event in Woodstock was so wonderful! God’s word never returns void plus…the music! I’m sorry I missed the roll call the other day but I just wanted you all to know Beth’s message from God and Travis’ music was a blessing.
I soooooo much needed the anointed teaching on Saturday. Thank you Beth for pouring out God’s precious Word in to our hungry hearts. I came away with the urgency to hide the Word in my heart-something the Holy Spirit has been prompting me to do for 2 years now. With His help I will do it.
I pray rest and renewed strength to you Beth.
What really struck me about the commisioning was that He is able to keep my foot from being caught in a trap! If it were up to me to be blameless at His coming, I would fail miserably. Somehow faith and God’s sovereign saving us from ourselves all works together and I don’t understand it. But I do know that the righteous will live by faith, and He is able to keep me from stumbling! I think my deepest rooted insecurity was thinking that I would somehow fall back into my old sins and disappoint Him and ruin my witness. The enemy does come to steal, kill, and destroy, BUT, HE has come to give us abundant life! That means He is able. He is able. That gives me security:) Praise You Lord Jesus, that gives me security!
Blessings to you all today at LPM, love ya’ll lots in HIM,

My whole group said we wanted to have a copy of this commissioning statement. It is so powerful and uplifting. The best part about it was that an old college friend happened to be sitting on the same row we were and I got to share it with her. We had not seen each other in 27 years. I know that God’s hand was in that encounter, because she did not have a ticket until someone in her church gave her one that she could not use. Also, the row she was sitting on was the only one with 5 seats together for our group. We have exchanged addresses and phone numbers and will be in touch with each other more now. We all had a fabulous day with Beth and Travis!
With all creation I sing, praise to the King of kings! You are my everything and I will adore you!- Revelation Song
I was serenaded all through my sleep last night with this beautiful melody that kept me aware of the words that went with it and woke up still singing it and continue to hear it in my mind!
I am new to the blog but had to share this as I was so worried I might not get it.. it might not stick…again,and fail. Then He goes and saturates my mind with praises to Himself through me and I have such hope that I have indeed the internal strength of Christ in me to say “So long Insecurity!”
I am one, from Oregon, and am so humbled that He chose me to be part of something so huge! At the start of the simulcast during worship I tried to imagine the sound of our mouths and hearts reaching to Heaven all at the same time with the same purpose in the unity of Spirit and Truth. I could not. But I know that when two or more are gathered, and we certainly were, He is there; how many insecure spirits were put to flight that day! He uses the weak and the least, the speckled and the spotted, yes even the insecure and together we sent a deadly blow to the kingdom of darkness!!
I do more than thank God for you Beth! I expect Him to give me a seat by you at the banquet table at some point during eternity! (I am sure there is a waiting list ha ha 🙂 I adore your heart for Jesus. It gives me such hope!!! Love Sofia
Dear Beth,
I was…until the Roll Call…a Silent Siesta (if there can be such a thing).
I read the blog daily and did all the weekly exercises, but was simply not nervy enough to post them.
“Never-the-less” (now wouldn’t that make a good blog name), I got Saturday’s message loud and clear, and I thank you for it.
Also, since I tend towards being thick-headed, God has reinforced it daily. At Saturday’s lunch break, I checked my email and found a message from the seller of a To Live As Christ study I just purchased on Ebay. In short, she was late mailing it out and wanted to enclose a devotional book as well. The two choices: New day, New You or Hearing from God: Day by Day. In Sunday School, I opened up the lesson (on Psalm 23) and found a page from another book inside. I don’t know the title or author, but the line that struck me warned that the Enemy is willing enough to point out the road, what he won’t tell you is how to walk it…because that’s the only way we change. Lastly, Sunday’s hymn contained this verse:
O Jesus, you have looked into my eyes;/ kindly smiling, you have called out my name.On the sand I have abandoned my small boat, now with you, I will seek other seas.
Thank you for posting the Commission. I’ve printed it off to remind me that since I am IN CHRIST, I am always in a secure state! Satan will always try to make me forget this Truth, but I must daily remind myself to, “Never, ever, forget…” it so I can always be aware of Satan’s schemes trip me up, cancel them and walk worthy of my calling.
During worship preceding the second half of the Simulcast I got choked up as I wondered and tried to imagine…what would it be like for all of us to have heard all 300,000 of us singing praises to our King?! Our Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit did, and oh how it ministered to Them and delighted Their hearts!
Blessed be the Name of our God forever and ever!
My Bible Study girls and I had a great time at the Simulcast. One of our group had never seen our Beth speak before. Her statement to me was “Wow! That was so much more than what I expected! It was great!”
I have to say I love being called the teacher’s pet! I’m the rebellious one in the back, God has so redeemed my rebellion for Him, but still “Teacher’s Pet” very cool!
Pam
Oh sweet Beth, the hardest part of this conference was the end for me. God so spoke through the conference. It was painful. What made the comissioning and ending songs so hard was that I had to go back to my reality. Please pray for me as I journey in issue of insecurity (which has gotten worse by the way, because satan has thrown some chaos into my life that I am battling through). My goal is to saturate my mind with His truths (scripture) until my heart and soul is so overcome that my walk will demonstrate only His desired actions. My “spirals” have been so comforting as I try to get through the new choas. I do not know how I lived spiritually before these “spirals”. Without them I would have walked away from it all by now.
This ministry is such a blessing to so many. Thank you so much.
Believing Him~Pamela
PS: Your top was so adorable!! Wherever di you get it?!?!?!?
Thank you so much for posting the commission. I really wanted a written copy of it after crying my way through it Saturday with Beth and thousands of other ladies. The simulcast was awesome and life-changing!
Thanks so much for posting this. After you had us hold hands and commission each other, we all looked at each other and said “oh, should have wrote that down” 🙂
Thanks so much for the awesome, uplifting message on having Security! As I stood to worship before the second session, I felt like my hands, arms, and shoulders were physically and literally so much lighter. I know it sounds strange, but I feel the Lord has released from my life sentence of insecurity by taking away those shackles. Now, I just have to remember not to put them back on. Psalms 43:18-19
As a woman about to hit 40 and whose last year has been hell on earth, I was so honored to have been in ATLANTA with the fine ladies from my church. We stayed an extra day as tornadoes were destroying our community. We were all blessed for our families and homes and our brand new church, mostly comprised of trailers, to still be standing. Mind you, the road our church is on though was filled with destruction. It was as if angels’ wings protected it. Most of us were in the overflow area where Beth and her daughter came for Q&A but we were in the balcony. I think she would’ve liked our tshirts. They said “Its against my relationship to have a religion.” I look forward to reading my book and just wanted to thank you so much. I cannot express the insecurities I have tried to conquer since childhood but look forward to learning. These demons bring with them overbearing weight that transcend to each generation. My mother committed suicide at 54 because she couldn’t conquer hers and I don’t want my daughter to see me in that kind of struggle.
I was/am so grateful for the simulcast!! I do feel commisioned with a greater freedom, but also a vision to reach those young sweet darling girls around me who are Jesus’s but are making so many decisions out of insecurity – my people perish for lack of knowledge – they don’t know whose and who they are!! I had great delight just now typing “secure” into a word doc and getting the synomyms for the word; SAFE, PROTECTED, LOCKED(I immediately heard “sealed”), SHELTERED !! How cool is that!! The scriptures with all those words in them will now take on more significance….interstingly the antonym for the word secure was vulnerable and the Lord just connected the dots with the fact that we were first made vulnerable in the Garden when Adam and Eved realized they were naked – meaning uncovered !! Now to realize I am covered….by His blood, His righteousness, His wings, Strength, Dignity, and A NEW MAN!! He is my sheild…I AM COVERED…..I AM NOT VULNERABLE ANYMORE…..HE HAS ME COVERED!!!! PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE AHA !! I GET IT…love you Jesus!
Thank you for such an inspiring book and conference. I watched from Lakewood, Colorado and it was one of the most amazing days I have had! Many Blessings to you
What an amazing Saturday! I am so glad that I was able to be a part of hearing Beth minister.
I have to say…the Friday before the simulcast, my 6 year old son was singing to himself, as he played with his toys (as he often does) but that day, he was making up a song…and it was pretty much a chant of “God is up to something” I thought it was pretty funny and so did my mom and I said to her, ” (laugh) I wonder what He’s up to?”
Well, early on in your talk, you looked, pointed and said “God is up to something!” and I my heart practically skipped a beat. Talk about getting my attention!
Today…after going to the gym, getting back in the car, the music was on …and yes, the song was right at a part it sang “God is up to something!!”
WOW!!! I know to some it may be “coinsidence” But…no…it’s not to me at all! God IS up to something. Something big…something that you reminded me of this weekend. Thank you so much for such a great day in the Lord. Talk about using technology for His glory for a change! :o)
What a perfect way to sum up the day!!
Thanks Beth, awesome and powerful message.
Thank you Beth, all of LPM, Melissa, Amanda & all who
were involved in helping Sat happen, bringing such glory to our Savior.
I didn’t want to leave Woodstock. The praise & worship
was unbelievable & the message was brought with such
love & boldness!
Love to you all,
Lisa
Thank you SO much for posting the commissioning statement!!! I was actually speaking it over somoene I had never met (both of us had come alone) and it was a good chance to practice SECURITY while looking a complete stranger in the eye and saying things the brought so much emotion out of me 🙂 I was so wishing I could have written every word down and what a TREAT to be able print it out AND find out I’m teacher’s pet!!!!!
I could not wait to get home and tell my husband all about the event. I had my 26 year old daughter with me who as strayed a bit fom the church but not her faith. She was amazed. She even commented on the good hair day Beth had!!! My life feels renewed and reborn. Thank you so much for a blessed day. I am talking to our pastors wife to host the Sept. 18,2010 simulcast in out little town of El Centro, Ca. The Lord has given you (Beth) a voice to be heard. God Bless!!!
