UPDATE from Amanda: SIESTA MEET-UP INFO
Ladies, I’ve been told that there’s a Siesta meet-up on Saturday night called “Connecting the Dots” at Latimer Hall at Woodstock United Methodist Church. It lasts from 6-9 and the cost is $10 to cover food and festivities. The organizers have lots of room left for Siestas who would like to join them. You can get more details on their Facebook page.
OK, Sisters, let’s hear it! If you’re attending Saturday’s simulcast, sign in with your first name and your host location (church/school name and city) . Not only will this heighten our sense of community that day, it will also let each of us know if we have fellow bloggers at our same location. (I hesitated to use the word “Siesta” on this particular post because I don’t want a newcomer to think I’m referring only to those who have somehow “joined” our community like a club. Remember, it’s just our term of endearment for sisters in Christ here on this site. If you’re reading this blog and you’re attending on Saturday, you are just the person I’m talking about.) Maybe some of us can meet face-to-face!
If I may ask your gracious cooperation, let’s please limit the comments on this post to those attending on Saturday so that the list will be easier to peruse for common sites. We’ll move forward to plenty of other things very shortly.
I love you guys so much. My heart is huge toward you right now. For one thing, this message (SLI) was birthed out of this community. For the other thing, it has to be love when so many of you said that you could well get a spiritual application out of “Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs.” Now, THAT’S sisterhood.
Here is my one intention on Saturday: that Christ Jesus, the Son of God, is clearly identified and glorified as our ONE and ONLY means of steadfast, soul-deep security. Pray with me to that glorious end.

Hi Beth,
I saw you live last weekend at my home church Idlewild. What a blessing you are to so many seeking Gods love and wisdom. I have to tell you the truth. I was to nervous when I met you but you are welcome to use it as my testimony in your next event! haha. I am the girl that you came up to with the mic and I told you it was my mothers birthday, we got our tickets before cmas and were there because I wanted to build closer relationships between God and my family.
The truth was that morning I woke up and planned on having a nice big breakfast, jc.and coffee to feel good and energized when I came to hear you that morning. INSTEAD I SOUGHT GOD FIRST AND THEN DECIDED TO PRAY AND FAST THAT MORNING BECAUSE I REALLY WANTED TO MEET YOU AND MAYBE GET A HUG. So I decided to see what God had in mind if anything at all for me. THEN when I saw you coming up my isle out of 4,800 women in the church I could hardly beleve my eyes. I said to myself, Lord is she coming over here? As you walked closer my heart started beating faster until I thought I would have died right there when you handed me the mic. I thought Thank you God for making my day and it always pays to pray!!!
I tto will be a grandma soon his name is also Jaxon. I write children’s books and am working on a children’s workshop for Jesus to come. Would love to chat one on one anytime.
God Bless you sister. Tomorrow I will have surgery on my eye lid to removepossible Basil cell cancer. Keep me in your prayers sister. Hope the dinner with your sister was grand.
