Hey, Siestas! I just printed out Day 1 of Week 5 of the James manuscript (ultimately, there will be seven weeks of homework, God willing) and decided to take a few minutes before I dive into the next thing. Actually, I wish we could just sit and talk for a little while. I’m in a chatty mood. One day soon we’re going to figure out how we can do some informal live streaming video and skype some of you guys on here. Wouldn’t that be fun? I have one of my trusty coworkers looking into that right now and I’ll keep you posted.
I’m working from home today because Keith is out for the day and two dogs are WAY too many to take to the office. Talk about mass pandemonium. Geli (Keith’s bird dog) is big enough to jump the back fence at the office and, when I bring her inside, she decides that any toy Star picks up is exactly the one she’s always wanted and barks her head off with that really jealous kind of yelp. So, I’m home today and getting to take a break right at my very own breakfast room table. (And dining room table and all-purpose visiting table and our only table.)
I wish you were sitting right across from me and, while we were taking our Bible study break, I’d fix you some of this, too.
That’s one of my favorite afternoon snacks. It’s actually tea instead of coffee because it goes so well with the Milano Cookies. I dip them into the hot tea so the chocolate melts and then I hold it on my tongue until it disintegrates. Yum. That sounded so good that I’m stopping for another bite. Lord have mercy. I’m so glad He gave us tongues.
Amanda is the one who got me started on a spot of tea. (Just a small spot. Not a true devotee.) She never got into the coffee mania of renown with her sister, father, and me but we were ecstatic when she developed taste buds for hot tea while she and Curtis lived in northern England. She took to their very basic (cheap) variety and it’s a good thing because it’s easy to get here in the States. I keep a box of it in the cabinet at all times so she can have tea when she’s over while Lis and I have coffee.
As I sit here sipping tea, these are a few of the thoughts rolling around in my bleached blond head…
How much I loved what I got to see earlier on a stroll by myself:
I totally dig turtles. They’re such a mixture of hard and soft.
How I love looking at Star after she’s been to the groomer. I took her today for her second hot-weather cut. Once I realized she wasn’t going to be shamed by it (grin), I asked them to go a little shorter. She’s just darling. Looks just like a puppy. I wish you could see her tail because they left it really fluffy. It looks so odd that I can’t quit grinning at her. I keep telling her that I’m laughing with her and not at her but that’s what my girls say to me and I know better.
How fresh this verse is hitting me. It came up in my quiet time yesterday (out of the fifth week of “Brave”) and I thought how much that one half-a-verse answers. Just think about it! Revel in a pure-dee NEVER, EVER! In a life of grays, give me some black and white! I took it to staff prayer time yesterday and we worked on memorizing it together.
One by one we coworkers mentioned various concerns we had, all the way from personal to global issues, then we followed each one up by saying the verse together in unison. We truly felt the power of God fall on us. Then we played a goofy word game. On rare occasion, I feel just devious enough to see if I can bring out the friendly spirit of competition in my very godly staff members. I was feeling it yesterday. I had printed multiple copies of the verse out in a big font and in as many different colors as I had coworkers. I then cut out each word, threw them all in a bag, shook them up then, after our lesson, poured them out on the table in a big mess and said, “GO!” They had to choose a color (some shades were gleefully similar) and arrange each word of the verse in order. As I explained the objective and was just about to pour them out, one of them said in a frenzy, “Are we trying to see who can do it the fastest?” No, I said. But I wouldn’t mind if you tried. And it was a free for all. Made me really laugh. It’s a wonder they didn’t draw blood. Love them so much.
Let’s see what else has been going through this head…
How I cannot BELIEVE that we are going to see THIS SIGHT TONIGHT:
TOO MUCH!!!!!! Amanda has cried two dozen times and I’ve cried one dozen. Curtis is so proud he can’t stand it but he’ll bite his lip bloody trying not to join Amanda and I in our sappiness. Our man-child! We’ll have a kindergarten student in three short months. Good grief. Somebody stop how fast this is going! He is one of the most wonderful things that has ever happened to this family. So full of life. So hilarious. So BIG in all his feelings and reactions. He left these by Melissa’s old bed last week when he went to sleep at our house and I can’t bring myself to move them one single inch.
And, lastly, BUT FAR FROM THE LEAST, I am thinking about hopping on that plane and heading to Eden Prairie, Minnesota this weekend for Living Proof Live.
I am so excited about this one! (I know you’re thinking “You say that every time,” but somehow God stirs up a unique brand of anticipation in my heart for almost every single one. Sometimes it comes from pain. Sometimes from joy. Sometimes it comes from passion for a Word burning a hole through me but it always comes with a feeling toward that event in particular. Only Jesus can do that.) God began speaking to me about the subject matter a week or so ago and I’ve been trying to listen hard and wide. I’m sad to say that we won’t have a ticket giveaway this week because this one blew our minds by selling out a while back. We’re in a church this time so there’s not the seating of an arena but it’s still a whopping forty-three hundred women. Make no mistake. That is a big group! Anything past 200 gives me a serious case of butterflies and, if there are any men in the less-than-200, that gives them to me worse. Give me girls, Lord.) We are thrilled to be in a sanctuary and cannot wait to meet the group God is drawing. Any time an event sells out, we think, “Wooooo-EEEEEE!” (Hear that like Jed Clampett) “If God has stirred up that kind of expectation, He must be up to something! We don’t want to miss Him for the world!” Well, OK. I’m probably the only one that actually says “woooo-eeeee” (well, Travis – AKA Jethro – does, too) but we all feel a blast of anticipation if that body of believers shows a heightened expectation of God in any discernible way. If they’re especially excited, so are we!
Well, look what’s gone and happened:
I guess break time is over but, man, you were good company while it lasted. I think of you everyday. I’m so proud of you guys for pursuing Jesus amid the train wrecks and derailments of life that I hardly know what to say. He is so worthy, Sisters. He is so worthy.
Keep turning your eyes to the skies…
“For You, Lord, have NEVER forsaken those who seek You.”
Beth Amen!!! I will be praying all of you up! Thank you for blessing my day!
Sweet Beth: It is KILLING me that you are going to be so close to my home this weekend and I won’t be able to see you. I waited too long to reserve my ticket and am on the “sold out” side of things. (You and your entire crew are so invited to show up on my doorstep; you would be greeted with huge open arms and tears of joy.)
It’s not quite the same, but you couldn’t have picked a better time to visit with us on the blog over a spot of tea… words and warm sips to my heart! I love tea. I love little boys. I love matchbox cars and boy toys left in the sweetest places. I love crying over milestones that come too swiftly. And I love spending time with you. (And even moreso with tea involved!) I think I might go out and get a copy of “Brave” this weekend just to find another way to fellowship with our Siesta Mama – and I’ll start it with a hot cup of tea. Maybe even Milanos.
You’ll all be in my prayers this weekend. Come, Lord Jesus!
I bought two of those tickets for Eden Prairie months ago and I am so excited!!! God just walked me through some really tough stuff — He delivered me from the fire of a health scare. Such rejoicing here! Can’t wait to hear what He has for you to say.
Oh, and I should warn you that one of those two tickets I bought will be used by my wonderful husband. (So at least one man will be there.) I already warned him about the bathrooms. 🙂
I must add — the very first time I heard you speak in person was September of 2000 in Singapore! (I have a picture of the two of us to remember it by.)
Well Beth, for me this came at bedtime and was a little bit of relaxation that i needed before hitting the pillow. Your grandson looks so much like mine. Alex! Oh he is wonderful and sucha delight. I praise God for him.
Thank you for sharing your stories and pictures and verses. It is like chatting with a friend i have come to love and trust over many years of study together. We will be starting Inheritance June 6th in Fort Collins, CO for several weeks of study with friends. The four of us did Revelation last summer. We all love our time with you and in God’s word where you bring us insight and wisdom, humor and fun girl talk! God bless you Beth. I lvoe you and thank God for you my sweet friend.
Beth,
Thank you SO much for sharing some of your real life with us! You are so precious to me because it was through doing your “To Live Is Christ” Bible study that God answered my long-term prayer that I would have a hungering and thirsting for His Word. Ever since I just can’t get enough of it and Him!!! I’m sure I’m one of many ladies on here that wish you were my next-door neighbor. So I thank you for letting us feel like we are for a few minutes! Thanks for doing all you do for our precious Lord and for women’s ministry.
Love in Him,
Fran
P.S. Your grandson is such a cutie! I totally understand you and Amanda’s tears!!!
I love this blog. My 1st time reading it. I lovvvvvve Milano cookies too. Have a great tomorrow.
Thanks for the great post, Beth. I’m such a tea fan, and PG tips is one of my brands. I love it with a splash of hazelnut creamer. And Milanos!
Celebrating God, Bible verses, tea and Beth… what a great way to end the day. (I just jotted the verse down on the back of my May 15 SSMT card!)
I love that you said you’re thankful for tongues…that just struck me as funny tonight
I’ve been trying to think of what Scripture verse I wanted to memorize for #10 and JUST before I got online a few minutes ago to post my verse I chose and wrote Psalm 9:10 NIV in my Siesta notebook! Then before scrolling down to type in my verse on that post I read this one & was super excited to see that you talked about this very verse. I love confirmation!
Speaking of confirmation…..our ladies do a spring and fall Beth Moore study each year at our church. We have never done “Believing God” & I felt like this was the study we were supposed to do in Sept. I shared about it in an e-mail to our ladies. One of the ladies told me she had seen this study at an antique store and was going to go back to see if it was still there. I have to admit I figured when she went back it would either be on vhs or parts would be missing. She hoped it was still there. It was!! And it was brand new & was on dvd. The dvd’s had never been opened and she got this $200 study for $38!!! What a blessing and what a confirmation! Is God good or what?!!!
I enjoy reading your posts, but I love, love, LOVE the posts like this one where we get a glimpse into everyday life. 🙂
I will be at LPL this weekend and I am SO excited! I’ve done three studies through my church, attended the simulcast last fall, but look forward to seeing you in PERSON this weekend. There are 44 ladies from my church driving two hours (from Rice Lake, WI) to attend. We are looking forward to a great time.
See you soon! 🙂
Thanks for that chat! I wish I was going to be in Eden Prairie this weekend since it’s about a half hour from me but I didn’t buy tickets fast enough. I’ll be praying for good weather for you. There’s been some crazy weather the last few weeks here!!
Beth, thank you for having a cup of tea with us. I needed that verse! God will NEVER forsake those who seek Him.
Thank you for the reminder. Need discernment for a big decision on following Him.
This was SUCH a fun post! Sooo good to hear from you! Can’t wait to hear about LPL this weekend! God is good!
Beth,
I am crying my eyes out..i can hardly see the keypad! My twin boys, Jackson & Clayton, graduated from kindergarten tonight. I’m still trying to conceive how in the world we got to this point in their little lives; didn’t I just bring them home from the hospital?!?!
To top it off, we’re moving next week (back to Texas, so there’s a great bright spot in this upcoming change). My husband accepted a worship pastor’s position at a church in Longview, TX and so we are leaving the beloved Delta in MS. In the midst of this, we are faced with the great flood…it’s not overtaking us, but it IS overwhelming! I’m in Greenville, MS and everyone is very tense…please pray for the THOUSANDS of people who are losing their livelihoods and “normals” to the great Mississippi River.
I’m so encouraged by the verse you shared this evening…such encouragement in the midst of intense change. I’m posting it in every room as I pack our family up to begin a new chapter…
Guess I’m feeling a littl chatty too! Thanks for reading 🙂
Thank you for your post, Beth. I really enjoyed it. i love to eat popcorn for a snack. I also love coffee and hot tea as well. I will for sure be praying for you for Living Proof Live!! I know God will use you in a great way!! God Bless You!!
Beth
You may not know exactly why you chose the last two verses in our scripture memory to memorize, but I do. God knew that I needed to hear them and burn them on my heart. I have a son who is turning 21, a daughter, 18, who is graduating from high school Friday and I am a public school teacher to 68 sixth graders…I am Relying on God and trying to remember that He is near….I cannot get discouraged by my circumstances or my kids crazy choices.
Thanks for reminding me to be still and let God love me…do you remember that old BJ Thomas song….it was so good when I was a teenager and still ministers today.
Hi Beth,
I just love you!! Thank you so much for the fun update!!! I had a huge smile on my face the whole time I was reading it!! And my husband and my son were trying to talk to me and I was like hold on!!! I have to finish this e-mail! I loved it!! and the best part was, that was my May 1st memory verse!!! I so need that promise every single day!!
I will be praying for you all this weekend since I was born and raised in Minnesota, I have a special place in my heart for the Land of 10,000 Lakes!! Have fun! I can’t wait to see the video!
Thank you so much Beth! You are the best!!
Thank you for sharing with us! I need that very NEVER right now. Will be praying for your time in MN!
Blessings to you and all of yours.
Oh, Beth! Thanks for the little tea party. I really needed that today, mostly because I am going to miss seeing you this weekend in Eden Prairie! I live just 20 minutes down the road, but yes it SOLD OUT! I’m praying for a bigger venue next time! I’ve been so very blessed to see you three times. Y’all come back to Minnesota again real soon, ya hear?!

a spiral-carrying SSMT member in Waconia, Minn. 🙂
Thanks, Beth, for the shout-out. I’m trying to be good; so this week, it’s no sweets, but my mouth started watering when you described melting cookies. Oh well. Resolve: kick in. Now I’m all curious about why you would have written Day One of Week Five. Do you start at Day One Week One when writing – which means you’re now into Week Five? Or sometimes do you start mid-stream, as in, mid-study? Questions, questions…. Just call me a Curious Siesta (what it really is, is that I love to understand how systems work; and in your case, as a writer, how you navigate all the material and bring it to a final product). Have to go back to our local sports center for another 7th grade boys basketball game. (It’s a good thing I love boys and I love basketball!)
“Look what’s gone and happened” – with a picture of an empty tea cup! How that made me smile! I took a precious 3 year old to Chik Fil A last week. While she was eating her ice cream cone she happened to glance down and see how much was gone. She gave an audible, disappointed, “Awwwww!” that I will remember for the rest of my life! 🙂
Thanks for sharing, Beth. I love your heart!
Our landlady in CA lived next door and she rescued turtles. She had over 100 and the whole backyard and multiple rooms in her house were devoted to environments for them. My kids, obviously, were fascinated (ok, so was I!) and when some babies hatched, she named them after my children! ha!
This is not my week to study much. Just tonight, I have had a one year old in one arm and a one week old in the other. I love my grandbabies!
I’ve tried tea…I probably would dring it if my sweet daughter were a tea drinker with me; but my love is coffee with vanilla cream. It cranks my tractor! BUt I doooo like your tea cup! I think I need a pretty cup to drink coffee in. It is an experience you know- I drink the coffee, in the special cup, in the special chair, with my Bible. It all must go together.
I’m praying for you next week. I know the Holy Spirit will be on you, in you, and speaking through you!
Love ya, Girl!

I believe the sun will be shining on Minneapolis this week-end! I so wish I could be there, but I will say a few prayers especially as I drive by Grace Church, tomorrow.
I tried to get tickets, but when they were sold out, I just assumed God had something else planned for me that week-end. Sure enough, we are heading to Indiana to get my youngest son from college, oops! Wasn’t it yesterday I was picking him up from pre-school??
So appreciate seeing the verse, I needed to hear a “sure” word today!
Beth…
How sweet it was to sit down tonight and enjoy reading this!! I have a Jackson myself and amazingly enough he is going to be a 7th grader next year!! I am beside myself wondering where the time has gone!! My oldest son will be a Senior! My goodness when did I grow up and get so old!! I am so glad you sat down to chat!! Many Blessings to you!!!
Thanks for the chat Mama Beth! I have to say that picture of Jackson with the missing tooth may just be the cutest thing ever! Thanks for sharing your family with us!
Thank You Lord for that verse! What powerful encouragement in those words. I hadn’t figured out what I was going to memorize yet this week and now I know! That’s it!!!!! Thanks for sharing your tea with us. : )
Thank you Beth. I needed that reassurance twice – once here and once on twitter. Am so very nervous for my angiogram tomorrow AM. Scared for me and scared for my girls, if anything should go wrong.
Prayers appreciated.
Beth, my Tuesday night Bible study group just finished Loving Well. We did the videos and discussions for 4 weeks. I saved all the games for our celebration on this 5th night. Everyone came in pajamas, I piled every pillow I own in the middle of the floor and got all my quilts and stuffed animals out. Comfort and silliness were my goals. I put out St.Patrick’s Day and Christmas flags, halloween wreath, autumn tablecloth with an Easter runner and Christmas napkins.I emailed everyone that if they couldn’t be silly to keep their serious selves at home! They were all there and brought their favorite party food. (Typically, we eat, discuss, view video and are out by 8:30 because everyone has to go to work the next day.) After eating our meat and dessert feast(!), we started some serious playing. We had our talent/no talent show and learned some wonderful new things about each other. Then it was “I Never” and “Fishbowl”. WHAT GREAT FUN!!! It was the release we needed. We were supposed to decide on our next study and play 2 more games. We didn’t and we stayed until 9:00. We decided we would just have to do it again next week. Wish you could be here with us. And NOW I have another game I can introduce. Thank you. By the way, we are all chomping at the bit for “James”. As soon as it’s out, it is our next study.
Beth,
I was so delighted to see your blog when I arrived home this evening.I will be one of the lucky 4300 viewing you this weekend. I am flying from Mississippi to Minnesota to see my two favorite girlfriends!! Of course, we all feel like you are one of our dearest friends…you have a way of doing that with each one of us, I believe. I also get to see my friend I call “Glory.” We met in Colorado last fall sharing a cab to the mountains…a divine appointment indeed!! We went to spend sometime on the mountain vowing to both leave forever changed. We decided it only appropriate to take on new names…so we left as Grace and Glory. So Grace and Glory reunite at what I pray is yet another divine appointment. I was in St Louis last year, and of course, your message was so perfectly timed for me and I’m sure many others, and now, almost a year later, I am praying again for a fresh word!!! Life is surely a roller coaster!!! I guess if we were chatting now, I would love to know your journey to where you are now or to even Living Proof. I feel such a calling to preteen girls and mothers, and I have tried to be faithful and follow the calling. It’s difficult when you are a single mom and the provider for you children both physically and financially to step out in faith knowing it takes away the things you have known as “security.” When I am with these girls, I know it part of my plan, but at times I wrestle with if this was His plan would it be so hard??? I often wonder how it was when you began Living Proof?? The early days???
It’s interesting because I can see now there was a time that I would have loved the idea of writing and speaking to girls, and now I am at a place where I could just be quiet content with just my little garden and my babies. However, now that I could be content with my simple little life, it feels like it’s something I must do….I have to fulfill my calling. Interesting how this happens??? I guess I could say that I am living proof, and once you become living proof then you can’t deny the calling to share it, perhaps??
I look forward to this weekend!!! Many Blessings,
Ro
Erika, Kelly & Marie – lifting you Siesta’s up in prayer!
Siesta Mama – I laughed out loud at your dogs jealous moments. Sounds just like my 13 month old twins! Ha! Whatever Luke has, Abbey can’t live with out…right up until she has it and he has something else.
But neither of them can jump a fence. Yet, anyways. Thanks be to God.
=)
Thanks for chatting!
Beth, Thank you so much for the “visit”! I will be praying for you this weekend!
I love you!
Hi Beth, What a fun chat and with PG Tips tea no less. That is the only tea I will buy. I have to go to Bloomington or New Albany (Indiana) so I get more than one box at a time and my neighbor is addicted to it as well! My son introduced me to it some time ago.
I love a good cup of organic coffee. But only drink it when I go to our local CoOp store . IT is really good.Too much causes my heart to get to flippin out !
Love the verse made tears come to my eyes. So thankful. I think I will write it out to set up too to memorize.
I tell you Jackson is the sweetest little guy. He alwasy has that big smile and makes me smile everytime.
I have a new grandson his name is Sebastian. He will be a year in Aug. You are so right time goes sooo fast.
Love your doggy. My Speedy died last year in Jan. I’ve not gotten another dog yet just can’t seem to find the right one. Speedy was a rat terrior. She was really old 17 !!! A very good dog she was. I still miss her. 🙂
I need to get ready to bed. !! I work second shift and not been home from work long but getting sleepy,
I haven’t chatted for a while. I was having chemo and radation last year, Don’t know if you remember but you prayed for me on here. That was special. I am fine no sign of any thing in my scans. I am back to my self. got lots of hair and gained all my weight plus a little more !!
Ok time to get off here. Thanks for the chat.
Love you bunches. Thanks for taking time for us.
Loved all you had to share. I can’t believe how grown up Jackson looks…what a darling boy! Thank you for sharing and encouraging us to stay seeking God in everything we do. You are so dear to me, even if you have no idea who I am! 😉
Blessing,
Shelly
Ms. Beth, our son, 7 at the time named those cookies, airplane cookies. He tasted them his first time on an airplane. He loves then and now I am thinking I might need to retry them with hot tea! yummm
My word but I do love visiting with you. I didn’t realize how much I missed it until this post. Much love to you! 🙂
Hey Beth! Any clues about what our Summer Bible Study will be this year and when we will start? I’m looking forward to getting my workbook and preparing to take it with me everywhere I travel this summer. There is nothing better than working on a good Bible study while lying on the beach, soaking up the sun and listening to the surf!!
Thanks!
Hi Kim, Beth talks a bit about Summer Bible study in the Scripture Memory post #10: http://blog.lproof.org/2011/05/2011-siesta-scripture-memory-team-verse-10.html
Loved the visit! We will be praying blessings down on you this week and for MN. I really liked the rewritable message board. It looks perfect for scripture memory.
Love and Prayers,
Sarah
Oh Beth, how I needed that half a verse right now! Thank you! Been dealing with an issue that I did not seek God on first and now that I’ve realized my sinful mistake, I am trying so desperately to make up for it by seeking His will in fixing my error. And His words are ever true….. and NEVER failing. Thanks for sharing some time with us. Praise Him for it.
haha we have barrels of pg tips in our house. (i exaggerate, but only a bit!) but yes, God is amazing 🙂 xx
So proud of Jackson!!
Enjoyable post. Thanks for thinking of us!
Praying as you continue work on the James study.
Love you, Mama Beth!!
Beth Moore, you are just the cutest thing ever. I love your authenticity and the genuineness that comes through in your blogs. It is such a delight to get to know you on a bit of a more personal level. I have always loved you as a teacher-it’s fun to get to know you as a woman. So thanks for opening up your world to us in these little doses. It is very refreshing.
I am in need of much prayer. I was laid off yesterday and had worked for a small family owned business for 36.5 years and they merged with a BIG corporation last June. I was told my job was not longer needed. I not only lost the only job I have ever known but I will miss seeing some very close friends everyday. I have watched families gorw up, these people came to my daughter’s wedding. My heart is breaking. I know my God was not surprised by this and that He has a plan for me, but I need prayers so I can find the way He wants me to go because right now everything seams so fuzzy.
Oh Cathy, I am so sorry to hear about your job. I have been encouraged this week with Psalm 9:10 that Beth shared…for You, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek You. He sees and He knows dear sister!
Amen, KMac! What a perfect verse for Cathy at this time as well! Wow, God is so amazing!!!
Cathy, I have been so touched by so many people being laid off from jobs they’ve had for almost a lifetime!!! It seems like it’s a little like losing your entire family all at once! I am so sorry and will be praying for you! Don’t ever forget, like KMac (and really, God) said, He will NEVER forsake you! You haven’t lost Him! He’s still with you and caring for you!
Thanks for the chat Beth! It was great 4 in the morning reading when my first precious baby girl (still in the womb) has me up. I’m going to see you in Eden Prarie!!!!! And I’m bringing my mom, who is a faithful follower of the Lord, but doesn’t know you. I’m praying that her fear of an interdenominational study be taken away and God richly blesses our time together, and that we both have a wonderful experience of the Spirit. Look for us in matching pink shirts and me with a large belly! I’m so excited I can hardly stand it. See you soon! And I’d love to meet other Siestas also! I can’t wait!
PS: prayers would also be appreciated as I travel from IL on Thursday and especially on Friday morning (9:45-12:15) as I have my critical dialogue (defense) of my masters thesis. Lord willing it goes well and by Friday night I should be totally finished!
What a refreshing way to start my morning! The verse from Psalm is exactly what I need to start my day. So much “life” is happening around me I felt like I was sinking when I went to bed last night but God’s mercies are new every morning and this post and this verse have been part of that mercy for me today. Thank you, Siesta Mama (even though I am old enough for you to be my Siesta Daughter) for letting God speak through you yet again directly to my heart. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with this community. I hope you know what a difference it makes to us.
Bless you!
I’m a Texas girl who had never had hot tea before moving to Wales 8 yrs ago! Amanda and I have discussed our love of PG Tips! 🙂 Have a blessed day! Now if I could just find Milano cookies here…
Loved this post! The first time I ever heard your name, my friend said ” You just watch her video’s and it’s like having coffee with her.” I never forgot that and quickly realized how true that is. Loved that we had Tea with you today! Love ya! H
Ahhh. A visit with a friend. Thanks, Beth! I needed that little vacation. “The Lord is FULL of compassion and mercy.” (James 5:11)
I am just about speechless and that in itself is very unusual. Even though this post was random and not subject specific, I am so grateful to you, Beth, for writing it. I needed every single word in it today. I love you so much, but especially I love you because you love Jesus.
