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.

Oh I’m so sorry I won’t be able to attend the simulcast this weekend at Calvary Temple in Wayne, NJ. I actually used to attend that church years back. I was so pleasantly surprised they were participating in this event. Oh it would’ve been so great to see you bring this book to a fitting ending after doing the study with you these past weeks. And all the times I’ve wished to have an event like this come to NJ! Beth, I will be praying for you and for all the women there to have an anointing like no other. God bless you.

I will be attending at Grace Church in Glendora,California. Pray for the pain in my legs and left foot. I pray to the Lord that I can sit Friday and Saturday. I have been praying for your son- in-law and am so glad he is home. Another praise- three years ago, when my husband retired, I prayed that we could find a bible study to go to together. We have done three of your studies with several men in the group and they love you. I also prayed that we would have discussion instead of just the video. Well last Wed. we got back from Houston and went to bible Study “Believing God” and we all took THE TEST and what a discussion we had. There are ladies and men of all ages and my faith was boosted by their knowledge. Praise the Lord for his answer to prayer.

Looking Forward to it! I’ve been listening to the book, so good to hear you voice reading it! I’ll be seeing the simulcast at Vineyard Community Church- Cincinnati.
I am so looking forward to Saturday’s simulcast in Grants Pass, Oregon.
I’ve been ministering to woman who struggles with deep insecurity issues stemming from childhood abandonment and sexual abuse. She nearly took her life to a planned suicide this year, but was rescued by the grace of God. She has much anger towards God and blame for the scars from her past. It’s an answer to my prayers that she has given in to attend this Saturday. Purchasing her a ticket was meant to be incentive, and thank God along with HIS intervention she said “yes, I will be going”. Praise God!
I will be attending at Concord United Methodist Church in Beaver Falls, PA!
