Hey, Darling Things! I am on my way to our Little Rock Living Proof Live with much joy, anxiousness, and anticipation and pure-dee desperation for Jesus to show up. He’s all we’ve got to offer. And, gloriously, He’s all we need.
Don’t even think of dropping out of our Scripture Memory Team! If you let the Word dwell in you richly, I promise you that, when this calendar year closes, you will have experienced a completely different 12 months than you would have if you’d let your own opinions, agendas, quandaries, fears, feelings, insecurities, and bondage dwell in you richly. God’s Word WORKS. He sends it forth with accomplishing power. Don’t just memorize the words. BELIEVE THEM. Take them all the way to your heart and apply them to your real, live experience.
My verse this time around is one I’ve loved for a long time, especially as it’s worded in the NIV, but I’ve never committed it to memory. You’re welcome to join me if you don’t have another one planned. Here goes:

Beth,
I was at your LPL Conference in Little Rock this week-end with a dear friend of mine and her daughter. The daughter, Kim, had never experienced the full joy of Beth Moore nor your style of teaching. So my friend and I were excited and anxious to see her receive the grace of God “Beth Style.” Thank you so much my sister for your passion for the Lord, for you zeal in sharing Christ with others and for sharing yourself with us. During the conference you mentioned 6 books every Christ library should have, could you please tell me what those were again? I am the Women’s Ministry Director at my church and want to be able to share God with as much information and background possible. Thank you again for an amazing conference and your passion for the Lord – May God Bless You and Yours Richly, Teresa
