Living Paints Ministries

Our staff celebrated Bethie’s birthday at Painting with a Twist.

Evangeline, Mom, Sabrina and Susan.

KMac, Michelle, Mom, Sherry and Jenn.

Diane, Mom, Kimberly and Linda.

Just call her Baby Hawk.

This is the original canvas that we were painting from.

This was not painting by numbers, people!

Evangeline was contemplating all the art with our instructor.

Breakfast treats, coffee, and juice.

Jenn and Sabrina drying the first layer of paint.

Michelle and I are swaying to Friends are Friends Forever.

We’re renaming ourselves Living Paints Ministries.

We were that fabulous.

    Happy birthday, Mrs. Beth! I hope your day was absolutely wonderful:)

    I seriously just woke up from a dream that you and I were on the same cruise! That was actually the most believable part about the dream… the rest involved me alternating between my current (30, married with 2 babies) self and my high school self, complete with a showchoir performance on the ship! These pregnancy dreams are wearing me out!!!

    Wow! I am so impressed with LPM’s artistic ability. To me the photos reveal everyone had an authentic fun celebration of Siesta Mama’s birthday including Siesta Mama herself.

    Mark Buchanan writes in “The Rest of God” that everyone is born with the ability to write poetry. After viewing your photo’s I’ll add to that “everyone is born with an ability to create visual art”.

    Siesta Mama, you bring out the best in all of us. I’m so thankful for your birthday and pray you experience many, many more. Belated Happy, Happy Birthday!!!!!!

    I love you!

    Happy Birthday Beth!

    We were just having dinner last night with my in-laws for my husband’s birthday and you were topic of conversation :)…On one end of the table were the guys and they were going on and on about how cool you were because you carry a shotgun and knew who the Duck Commander was and even got a picture with him. I think I even heard my husband say, “wish my wife would get a picture with the Duck Commander.” Mental note made :). On the other end of the table were the girls, and we were carrying on and on about how much we love being Siesta’s, how much we love you and how absolutely excited we are to have you coming to our home stomping ground in the Black Hills, SD this fall. All of that said, know that you are one amazing woman (even the boys think so ๐Ÿ™‚ and if there is anyone who deserves a wonderful and special birthday, it’s you! Thank you for sharing your heart and your passion for the Lord with women around the world…no doubt God smiles when He watches you in action! Love to you on this beautiful Friday!

    What a fun & unique party. I am totally impressed!!! The paintings all look wonderful.
    My mom is gifted in this area and I swear, I would HAVE to have numbers.
    Bless her heart, she even sent me to art classes. I just don’t have that gift.
    I may have been too embarrassed to take this class with y’all. : /

    It was so great to see a picture of Kimberly. She had to leave before I could meet her in person & hug her neck in Houston at the Scripture Memorization Event. She has been such a precious prayer warrior with me. She knows me as “Lolly.” ๐Ÿ™‚

    Happy Birthday Beth!
    Love you!

    Birthday Blessings, Beth!

    You have made many lives come back to LIFE- finding God through your eyes- hearing from God through your ears- evening tasting God has been such a dessert that will never be satified now by earthy mouths. You have helped so many ladies find Him for themselves, including me. I’m kicking up my heals rejoicing over Him.

    Thank you for many many hours of countless study and pure love for Him to share with others. I may not meet you here on this earth but I know God will have me meet you in Heaven one day. Until then, your walk here has not been in vain. Keep on keeping on! Prayers are pouring over you and your family.

    Hugs-

    You girls have the coolest celebrations! Happy Birthday, Beth. You don’t look a day over thirty. I promise, I’m not just saying that to get attention either, you really don’t. Following hard after Jesus must keep a body young, that’s all I can come up with.
    Take care, and I hope your day is blessed!

    Happy Birthday Beth!!
    You are truly blessed with wonderful friends & family. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I have to ask about Michelle’s apron. Is that a monogram? Does it say “Baby Hawk” or her initials? I know her favorite store is Brooks Brothers, but I haven’t seen animal print aprons in there lately. ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Do tell…..
    love ya all,

    Anna says:

    Beth, Thanks for sharing your birthday! The paintings were great, and the joy that was present in the room was delightful. But I must say the pic that touched me the most was you and Amanda. It made me think of my Mom and how special our relationship is. She is my best friend, one of my mentors, and one of my accuntability partners. She will be 80 this year, the Lord willing. And she still bowls at least twice a week, she wants to have her birthday party at the bowling alley.
