A Little Surprise and A Lot of Love

Hey, Sweet Things! Today is my first official day back to work after the James taping and the first thing I did, after hugging coworkers, was sit down and tape a video greeting to you. It takes a day or two to get it on Vimeo but we’ll have it up here on the blog just as soon as we can. It’s, of course, mostly ridiculous except to us Siestas so rein in your expectations. It’s just me saying hey to you after being away for so long and thanking you for your prayers. But as God would have it, I have another reason to hop on here today. I’ve been waiting for it to come in so that I could tell you about it and we literally just opened the box. Here it is:

It’s the brand new (workbook) So Long Insecurity Group Experience! Look really closely now:

Exactly right here:

Lean on in!

One more time!

This one’s for you, Siestas. It hits the shelves this coming week. I love you so dearly. We’ll do a giveaway soon but I couldn’t wait till then to show it to you. I’m not meaning to make a bigger deal out of it than it is but, Girlfriend, it’s big to me. Your Mama.

    Beth,

    I feel the same way about the siesta’s on this blog. How awesome to feel such a kinship with women most of whom we will never meet this side of heaven. Although some I have had the distinct pleasure of meeting, Georgia Jan, Deb, Amanda, Melissa, Travis Cottrell (our honorary Siesta) and last but not least you! What a blessing this LPM blog has been to me. Thank you for connecting with us in a way that shows us what heaven must be like. To be with like minded people giving praise and glory to our Savior and receiving many blessings along the journey. Thanks for all you and your staff do. With much love, Lori

    I am new to the blogging world, I do not have a blog, but I enjoy others blogs so much, and how everyone is connected in some strange way. It’s funny how God connects people through the computer! I am excited about your new bible study, I have done several of yours and have been so blessed by your amazing insights, both historical and spiritual. Thank you for your service to the Lord, and stay encouraged that you don’t even realize how many lives you have touched, well, maybe you do. I am thankful that the Lord has used you to touch so many and I will be praying for His awesome work to continue through your bible study and teaching. God bless, Sue Jager

    Loved the book and now can’t wait for the workbook! Insecurity is such a thief.

    This is a big deal to me. I just emailed tonight to ask about Siesta Summer Bible Study and got a quick reply from a staff member that you are busy finishing up the James homework, so. . .I was going to Daniel with some friends here. . .am trying to do a Celebrate Recovery Step Study, but having a hard time doing that now. I think this workbook to go with your great book might be just what I need! Maybe my daughter and I will be able to do it together this summer! Thank you so much!!! Looking so forward to James study also! Praying for you!

    Kels says:

    Awwwwweeee! How sweet, Mama Beth! Thank you for making us feel so special. I love you so much. I can’t wait to get my hands on the workbook. Did I tell you that my youngest daughter read “So Long Insecurity” while we were in Tennessee? I am sure she would embrace the workbook as well.

    Girlfriend, that’s so awesome, I can’t wait for it. Your writing is a blessing to my life! Thank you so much! I have a close girlfriend named Ana, who I would love to start a study with, and pull in some other chicas. Sometimes I can’t make it to bible study because of work, school, baby girl, being a wife, BLAH BLAH = ) and I know other women who feel the same… I feel something stirring

    I love reading this blog and have only posted once, maybe twice (well, except for the memory verses). Thank you Beth for writing this workbook. I just finished the book and absolutely loved LOVED LOVED it!! I cannot wait to tell my bible study girls tomorrow morning about this new work book. It is a big deal to us, as we are now working through Breaking Free. Beth Moore, you are such a faithful servant to God! Thank you for all that you do in the name of Jesus!

    Aww! I’m so excited! Ever since I read “So Long Insecurity,” I’ve been wanting to go deeper with it, so this will be the perfect way! Thanks for all you do!! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Paula says:

    I’m thrilled that you have done a workbook to go along with the book—I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

    Studying with you has changed my life forever – not only do I know the Lord, but I really really know the Lord. Thanks for your wonderful ministry.

    Siesta Mama, You look quite lovely with your “I’ve got a surprise for you, girlies” face! And I said to myself and God “that’s it!” when I read your post. Been asking about what to do with a group of gals at my house this summer once our bible study ends. I LOVE James and Tennessee so I warred with a passion for you and the gals while in Nashville. Thanks, Mama!

    When you took us through each chapter before the SLI Simulcast I wrote down the questions each week so that I could take some girlfriends through the book someday…guess I can now use this book instead! Excited!

  26. 126

    ooooo! Siesta Mama, this is so exciting to be a part of. Blessed so much by the women in this community. Thank you Jesus for the days in which we live!

    I wanted to tell you too that after your tweet about baking pound cake for Sunday, I got the biggest hankering for some. I pulled out my SIESTA Cookbook and made that Aunt Bea’s recipe with my kids this afternoon. So delicious! ๐Ÿ™‚

    much love tonight from Fullerton!!!

    What an honor! Thank you. Welcome back from your James taping. We loved partnering with you in prayer. I pray a blessing on that workbook and those who work it to find their identity in Christ.

    Oh I have been trying to figure what study to do this summer with my (2)20-something daughters as they do not want to commit to a group study. This may be perfect in my living with just them and me! Thank=you so much Beth you are a truly annointed teacher of the Word. Thank-you Mama!!!

    How exciting!!!! You are amazing Mama Beth! Thank you for your love, support and guidance for us as we travel these paths together. Love to you!

    Super pumped! Can’t wait for it to come out. I for one will be working it. Thanks, Mama Beth!!!! Jesus loves you and so do I!

    “Pray with me that many sisters will discover the only true Security amid these pages.” May it be so, Lord!

    Beth, thanks for your sweet heart & for speaking Truth into our lives through SLI. I’m going for round two this summer. Love you!!!

    Emily says:

    Woo hoo! I’m so excited about this workbook, Mama Beth, because the “So Long, Insecurity” book had such a huge impact on me. God has used the words in that book in my journey towards believing who I am IN His SON and that HE gives me strength and dignity!

    I must admit (a bit sheepishly) that I saw your post and was hoping it might be about your bible study recommendation for a summer bible study! My girlfriends and I have enjoyed the past studies you’ve recommended so much! (Me, Myself and Lies, Ruth and No Other Gods by Kelly Minter)

    Please feel no pressure but only love and gratefulness for your leadership and commitment to this group of Siestas. So thrilled that God did great things during your James tapings! Can’t wait to participate in that study in the future, God willing.

    With Love,
    Emily

    That is just so sweet! You are too much! Today was my birthday, and this just put the icing on the cake for me! Love you dearly! ๐Ÿ™‚

  35. 135

    ๐Ÿ™‚ I love you, too! You are so amazing. You are an inspiration to us all.

  36. 136

    Just crazy excited about this, since God has used the words in this book to change and restore this part of my life~

    wpeplowski says:

    Wow what a coincidence. I had just pulled out my book to re-read. I started doing the discussion group all over again yesterday. I will get the workbook. Our ladies group at church doesn’t meet in the summer. I had decided to do this as my summer bible study. Maybe you will do this online? Please.

    sommer says:

    You are such an inspiration! Just finished reading So Long Insecurity and had a “God moment” 2 days later. My very dear uncle is on death’s doorstep. He hasn’t been a churchgoer and is preparing, spiritually, for his journey into the next world. Thankfully he is now a believer yet is insecure and needs reassurance about his salvation. Your suggestion to read Romans 10:9 – 13 was perfect timing for this situation. I praise God for you and the work He is doing through your ministry!

    You have no idea who I am, but I feel with that dedication you must have written this book for me. My life has been turmoil for the last several months… lost my job, my house and my marriage is challenging right now. Through it all, I have prayed the most for SECURITY. (and patience) ;D
    When everything feels like it’s crumbling, HE IS the very foundation that keeps me from being swallowed up.
    Thank you for showing me God’s love. He is an awesome God. Bless you Beth Moore, you are in my prayers.

    IndoMom says:

    WOW!! How exciting!! I am looking forward to seeing about getting that here in Indonesia! Fabulous topic – it’s amazing how insecurities can keep us from being God’s tool – even as a Kingdom worker living overseas!! A few women & I have been looking for a study to begin this fall!! I think we may have found it! :o) WOOHOO!!!

    Shoutin Glory…can’t wait to dig in with “my girls”! We’re a group of 7…been meeting for nearly 16 years…the youngest is 39 and the oldest is 62. We’re moms and grandmoms and even greatgrandmoms walking the journey together with you!

    I am thrilled about this! I am so excited just because it will be good, but something in my spirit tells me that God has even more for me than I can imagine with this one. Bless you Beth.

    Toni lizana says:

    Wow. When I first heard about the book “So Long Insecurity”, I assumed it was a study. I went to Lifeway looking for the study and found out it was “just” a book. I got it, of course, and enjoyed every minute of it – but I SOOOOO wished it was a study. Soon as it hits the shelves, I’m there!

    Oh how precious you are to me!! Doesn’t it just thrill you to know that…we’ve never ever met, but our hearts are drawn together by the Master!! What joy He and you are to me!! I am truly humbled and your inscription to us “Siestas” brought tears to my eyes. Have an amazing day in His Presence!! With love…

    YAY!!!! I picked mine up yesterday at LifeWay. Can’t wait to dig into it!
