Good morning, delightful Siestas! We are revving up around here for our trip to the Great Northwest! We are so excited to see who God is going to gather and hear what He wants to say. Please, please, please pray for me to hear His voice speak through Scripture in preparation. I’m really jazzed about what I think I’m getting from Him so far but I’m also at that crisis point where it needs to all come together. Some information now has to get culled and what’s left has to take the form of an outline and fall into three messages with comprehensive points. That’s a Jesus job.
You will never waste a prayer on me or on Travis and the team or on the LifeWay event staff. We’re never more aware of our poverty of spirit that when we’re in that 24 hour countdown. We practically never have that “up to it” feeling.
Are any of you heading that direction for our Living Proof Live tomorrow and Saturday? I just found out from Michelle that we already have a whopping 5000+ ticketed for this God-event so far. My jaw is down on the floor. I’m hoping to see some of our wonderful Siestas there because I remember so well when we did the blog survey several years ago and were ecstatic to discover many of you from Washington State. We were so shocked we even did a shout out. Too expensive to come? Could any of you attend if you just had a comp ticket?? Yahoo, Siesta Scholarship Fund! That’s what it’s for! Call Living Proof Ministries at 1-888-700-1999 during work hours today or tomorrow and talk to either Kimberly or Susan. Remember, our time zone is two hours later than yours. We’ll fix up the first 15 or so of you who call.
You are all dear to me!
Know your schedule is very busy. Hope you consider coming to Alaska again the future! God bless you this weekend.
Praying for the lessons to come together for you Beth! He will speak, I am certain… Also praying for safe travels for you and the team, praying for all the ladies attending and for the precious volunteers. May His Spirit fall like a mighty fire on that place, and may hearts and lives be forever changed. May God be praised and glorified this weekend!
Love and hugs,
Adrienne
I will be at the Spokane event; we have a group of about 12 coming from our church. I’m so excited! It’s my first LPL event after several years of doing your studies. See you there, Beth!
You will be blessed beyond words!! Attended here in Springfield, IL. a year ago and in St. Louis this past June. Have done many of Beth’s bible studies, listen to her CD’s or online every day. Beth you are such a blessing to all us women!!
You’re going to love it Kimberly!
I attended my first about 8 years ago and I’ve attended one every year since.
I make it an excuse to travel. 🙂
Enjoy!!!
Praying for you Beth and the entire team. Jesus will be there. What a wonderful encounter awaits you. Please come back to AZ again soon.
Mama Beth I am SOOO excited to see you in person this weekend!!! There are quite a few ladies from our church coming. Looking forward to seeing what God will do!
That’s my home territory – I was raised just over the hill in Montana – I am and will be praying for ya’ll!!! So sad your leaving just in time for our cold front to come in down here but I know you will really enjoy getting to need to wear boots up there!!!
Dear Beth,
A fellow Texas girl, a lover of God’s Word, a calling for writing and public speaking, I would say we have a bit in common. You are such an inspiration to me and I want to thank you for yielding to your calling so completely, thus allowing God to touch so many through you. From a first grader who would not get up and sharpen her pencil for fear of being noticed to a now 45-year-old who has stood before several ladies’ groups sharing God’s Word, He is growing me everyday. As I work on my first real manuscript, my prayer is that I will yield daily to His guidance, that the words on the page be real, but mostly that others will see His glory magnified. Who knows, perhaps our paths will touch as we journey the streets of the world on our way home. May His richest blessings be on you in every season.
Because of His Love,
Karen Allen
Father, we bring Beth before you. We know for sure that “she will openeth her mouth” take it from there and amaze us with your Glory! God You are and there is no one like You.
Praying for y’all! Have a blast! 🙂
Dear Beth,
I watched 2 segments of you and Keith on James and Betty Robinson’s show online this morning. What a delight to see and hear Keith!! I feel like I know you and so today I felt like I met your better half. What a wonderful man he is and so full of wisdom and insight. You two are just the cutest couple. You can tell how important you both are to each other….that you are his #1 treasure and visa versa. I’ve been married 20 years to a rare gem myself. We have much to be thankful for. Just wanted you to know how fun it was to “meet Keith” .
Love,
Ann in Atlanta
Just in case anyone is interested I’m having a giveaway of Beth’s book Jesus~90 Days with the One and Only over on my blog.
http://www.justfollowingjesus.com/2010/10/its-giveaway-of-beth-moores-jesus90.html
I love this beautiful devotional by Beth!
I sent this to a friend who lives up there. Please pray she will reach out and try.
Thank you.
I hope all goes well this weekend. I can’t help but respond to this, because while you’re all together in Spokane, there will be another event happening in Washington State… the funeral of a 23 year old wife and missionary to Mexico. She died suddenly while with a group praying for God’s work in Mexico.. doctors believe it was Pulmonary Thrombosis (she had 2 heart attacks within 90 minutes)… she leaves behind a grieving young husband, along with her Washington family and many friends. Please pray for this young widower… God is His comfort.
Lord Jesus,
We ask your comfort for this young man as he is grieving the death of his young wife. We don’t understand your purposes or will. Especially when it involves the death of loved ones. I pray Lord that you would pour out your comfort on this sweet sister’s family and friends as they deal with adjusting to life without her here. Give them peace Jesus. Give rest to their bodies and minds. I ask Lord that you would protect them from the attack of satan. And fill them with hope; the hope that one can only have when he/she puts his/her full trust in you.
Amen
Janna,
Thanks for posting this. I’ve already been praying for this young widower and will be in prayer tomorrow. During such a time as this I am especially thankful that the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness because I could not come up with the words to form a prayer for this one, but the Spirit Himself intercedes with groans that words cannot express. The Holy Spirit knows the will of God and interedes for all the saints in accordance with God’s will. (See Romans 8:26-27) Would you mind leaving the time of the service in a reply to this comment?
Prayerfully,
Patti Hayes
May the power, majesty and glory of Jesus SHINE in Spokane, WA, this weekend!!! I pray the Lord will show off for you and for all the ladies in attendance. I pray He will protect your mind and direct your thoughts, Beth, as you prepare. Godspeed.
Hi Beth, Seven of us are coming and we are so excited. I am praying for you all now and will be throughout the weekend, too. karen:)
I hope you come to Nebraska sometime. But I will be praying for you over the next few days. Jesus will be there. I just know it will be His plan for all that awaits.
love you
Praying for you all.
Hi Miss Beth! I’ll be there; there’s a group of about 20 (I think!) from our church here in Missoula, MT coming. We’re so excited! We’ve just finished having our own women’s conference last weekend with Shaun Groves, and it was a BLAST! This is his recap of it: www.http://shaungroves.com/2010/10/full-2.
I’ll be praying for you and thanks for what you do!
Don’t need a ticket, but as a Whitworth grad (love Spokane!) just had to pop in and say if you get a chance to eat at Lindemann’s on the south hill you’ll be glad. Ditto for Clinkerdaggers on the river.
Have a super duper weekend!
Hey Beth!:) Praying for you, how’s James going? Please come to Chicago (or the surrounding areas) again soon. May God bring the cloudy pillar of His glory and presence wherever you go. I’m thinking about you and the rest of the team. I’m 14 and love your Bible studies. You’re real in your thoughts and feelings and don’t only wet the appetite, but dig in deep, something not always easy to find. Keep writing:)
AmyLynn
Oops, wrong address, here’s Shaun Groves recap: http://shaungroves.com/2010/10/full-2/#comment-32591.
Thank you Beth for blessing and beyond today. We are “Stepping Up” with you we just watched the video were we as daughters of the king are to do this whole ministry thing shoulder to shoulder…so from one sister to another…consider yourself prayed over!!! We are right down the road from Spokane here in Yakima, WA! I feel like its the least I could do to pray over you, your team and all the women you will serve this weekend. So consider prayers lifted…and cotinually lifted these next few days! I love you personally!
On Purpose,
Nichole
Praise the Lord….after going into labor at 29 weeks and being put on bed rest, I am now almost 36 weeks. I am off bed rest and get to go to the conference tomorrow in Spokane. I kept telling my nurses and doctor….I am just praying that I will make it to Beth Moore. God is good! I will probably go into labor during praise and worship….good thing the hospital is 5 minutes away 🙂
We are “jazzed” for you and Travis to get here!! You have more prayers than you know for this event! We are so blessed to have you this weekend. Pack warm clothes as our high will only be 52. May God fill you with His Holy Spirit as you prepare for the weekend. Whatever you bring it will be a feast of blessings. We are hungry and in need of the WORD! May Travis and the worship team be filled with Him as well as all of those who work to make the event happen and those who volunteer. May God’s presence be felt and fill the arena and may lives be changed! Hallelujah and Amen and we’ll see you oh so soon!!!!
Many Blessings to all!
Beth,
I will be praying for you as you prepare. I have spoken at a couple of retreats, and putting together the sessions in some kind of format that made any kind of sense at all, was very difficult. And there were less than 100 women in attendance! I don’t know how you consistently prepare to face thousands of women so many times per year! I guess that is why no prayer for you is ever wasted 🙂
As weird as this is, I often have dreams in which I am watching and listening to you speak and I am trying to help you–not by speaking, but by “willing” my energy to you. So, I suppose I’m praying for you in my sleep as well!
I am sure that God will move in amazing ways this weekend!
Dearest Beth,
As I read your blog today it reminded me of a familiar story told by Corrie Ten Boom:
When I was a little girl, I went to my father and said Daddy, I am afraid that I will never be strong enough to be a martyr for Jesus Christ. Tell me, said Father – when you take the train to Amsterdam when do I give you the money for the ticket? Three weeks before? No,Daddy, you give me the money for the ticket just before we get on the train. That is right, my father said, and so it is with God’s strength. Our Father in Heaven knows when you will need the strength to be a martyr for Jesus Christ. He will supply all you need just in time.
Sending prayers for His strengh to fill you & Travis and the whole team. How lovely are the feet of them who bring good news…You are so dear to me. Love, Marylee
Hi Marylee,
I’m not Beth, my name is AmyLynn, I’m 14 and I live in Chicago. I’ve read the Hiding Place, and watched the movie numerous times, her story is such a testimony. No pit is so deep that He isn’t deeper still.
Your Sister in Christ,
AmyLynn
I’m going to Spokane! With nine other gals! Some of us know each other and some don’t so I’m excited to see how the Lord will use the 5 hr car ride to encourage us along with the worship and message. Several of us are in hard spots where we desperately need refreshing and a fresh word from the Lord. Praying for you, Beth and wonderful wonderful team!
My goodness I have been praying for you for MONTHS as you prepare for Spokane!!! Frankly you could read the phone book and I would probably be mesmerized and you could just make the point that Jesus knows us all by name! LOL)
But seriously I am trusting that Jesus will take all of your study and prayer and by the sweet Holy Spirit (who DOES know what each of us needs) will make it into three awesome, heart-changing charges to us.
God bless you with good rest tonight, safe travels, and ministry grace through the event. We love you and you don’t need to impress us. Jesus will and He is who we are coming to meet. You just get to be the blessed vessel. I can’t wait!!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I will be there along with the women of my family: mom, aunt, sisters, and best friend! So excited to see you Beth and thank you so much for coming to Spokane…we need it!
Also, I just found out today that the stage is going to have seashells everywhere…and every sea shell represents a prayer for the conference. Apparently it’s been going on for 9 months! What an honor!
Praying for you girl! Love ya and see you tomorrow! :o)
Beth,
I almost can’t contain myself!! My daughter and I will be there, we are so excited and praying for you all the way!!
Please God, I pray your covering over Beth and her group as they travel here and also that YOUR WORD, Father, will ring true!! Thank you, Lord for Beth and her obedience to You and may Jesus be amongst us ALL weekend!!!
In Christ, Eileen
Hi Beth,
I will be traveling with 7 other women from Cornerstone Church, located southeast of Seattle. We are doing your Daniel and the Psalms of Ascent studies, and can’t wait to see you in person! I’ll pray that you hear what God is trying to say. We’re jazzed about it, too!
Have a wonderful weekend in Spokane Beth, Travis and team!
May God be lifted high!!
Can’t wait to see you in Fresno in April, Lord willing 🙂
well, I am suppossed to be there, but am a labor nurse and have three deliveries that are suppossed to happen anytime. So… I can’t go. BUT I have lots of friends going and can’t wait to hear all about it when they get home.
A friend of mine from Montana is going, Alicia. She is awaiting a specific word from the Lord about whether she should go back to Tanzania, Africa to teach or not. I don’t know if your message is that specific, but she’s hoping so 😉
I’m praying for your weekend in Spokane and wishing I was there!
Blessings!
I will be there! I’m so excited! You’re almost never less than several hundred miles from me here in little old Moscow, Idaho! Only one other time, so as soon as I found out you were coming to Spokane again, I told my husband I’d hitchhike if I had to, but I was going! I think he was afraid I’d actually do it, so he bought me a ticket (without telling me) and made arrangements to do some stuff for his job the same weekend, so that he can drive me up and drop me off! He he!
Praying for you and for all the team and for each lady who will attend.
Praying God fills you with His boldness and confidence as you share His life transforming message with the ladies in Washington.
Beth,
Know that this event has been blanketed with prayer from the believers in Spokane and the LORD has told me “Expect big things” and I am believing Him for that.
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow,
Christina
Praying for you Beth and all the team. May you hear the Lord clearly and feel His strength in you during the event. We love you right back! 🙂
I’m in Portland – so close that I was considering.
But I keep hearing that I am to stay home and finish
what is on my plate (aka: buffet) and rest.
I will be praying.
Kierstan
Have a wonderful adventure.
Hi Miss Beth! We in the greater Spokane area are so looking forward to hearing you, and hearing what message our God has for you to deliver! I was so happy to read that over 5,000 tickets have been sold – that is just wonderful! A bunch of us sistas who gather to work on your bible studies are going together. What a great time of fellowship and basking in the Lord’s glory together!
Have safe travels, and tell Travis that we are looking forward to his gift of music!
God bless dear one!
Lisa C
I am looking forward to my first time to see Beth Moore live!
Four of us are traveling from the Oregon Willamette Valley to attend tomorrow. You are in our prayers and we know our God will bring it all together for his glory!
Prayers are being lifted up for you Beth and team from Newton Tony, England! A small group has been “Breaking free” this term and we couldn’t be more thrilled as we are allowing God to pour into our hearts full redemption and lots of lots of love. His Presence is a promise and He will not disappoint you nor those 5000+ ladies and gentlemen that come seeking His face. Thank you for being so real and admitting we don’t always feel ‘up to it’ but praise God “We can do ALL things through Christ!”. You are dearly loved!
Beth,
Praying and attending. Unfortunately by myself (well, that is driving by myself – once I am there, there will be lots of sisters and siestas for me to meet – :)) I was going with another but she had to change her ticket for when you come to our area in March. I am attending that one with my 12 year old who has patiently waited for it to be her turn to get to come see you(her two older sisters have gotten to go already last time you came to Spokane and one to the siesta scripture in Houston, which was what she wanted for her graduation gift). It’s what my 12 yr old wanted for her birthday present. After listening to one of your teaching CD’s in the car – she said you “were a hoot!” I agree. :~)
Praying for you,
mk
Oh my goodness – I am just seeing this and I wish I still had your number in my contacts from SSMT celebration in Houston!! Do you remember me? We met at the airport. I live in Olympia and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to meet up with you and head to Spokane together (aren’t you in Gig Harbor?). You’re probably leaving in the next couple hours. *If* you see this, email me – [email protected] !!!
Beth, Travis and team,
Praying for y’all… God left His mark on RIchmond through your ministry..He will do the same for spokane…I know you will hear the clear message from Abba..My small gorup is doing the Esther study now.. I love “seeing” you each week on the DVD. I takes me back to your live teaching in Richmond…I love waking up to Travis’ praise and worship…your ministry continues long after you leave a city. I know the great ZNorthwest will NEVER be the same.
Blessings,
Linda
Praying for the whole Living Proof team! Go, God!!!! Be glorified!!
This ministry always has a way of making me cry. Today there were tears times three…first the subtitle ticket giveaway, thank you for blessing others, then 5000! Praise the Lord, and your request for prayers Beth for the LPM team, my pleasure with tears streaming down my face I ask our loving Father to fill your cup to overflowing with His Word, with safety, with God goosebumps on stage for each of you as you share your love and fulfill your purpose in this generation. In His Son’s Name, Jesus, I pray and praise. Amen
Beth, pick your jaw up off the floor you’re gonna need it back before you go. 🙂 Just couldn’t resist. The horror of you with your jaw on the floor when it has a purpose in His Kingdom is traumatic to say the least to this Siesta. LOL
Hey Beth! I am praying as well for you and the whole team! I think this is the first time I have left a comment – but have been reading for a while. I will be there tonight 🙂 All by my lonesome because I couldn’t seem to connect with anyone who is going, but I am happy and excited to hear from God – thank you!
Stacy Jo
StaceyJo, I’m so glad you’re still going! No way will you be on your lonesome! God fills those arenas with thousands of women like yourself, you’ll come away with new Siestas you’ll recognize on here. If we still lived in Mukilteo, I would be making the trip over the pass–that’s for sure! Enjoy…
Wish I could be there….just moved to San Diego from Washington state. AND…I had just moved right AFTER you came to Irvine this summer. I’m O for 2! Well… BIG shout-out to God & Kelleen Little for all the hard work. She may be Little – but she get’s it done! 🙂
