Hey, Sweet Things!
I pray you are well and blessed in the Presence of Christ Jesus! Thank you so much for your hearts toward our family in the big transition I shared with you in the previous post. I could tell you got it and it touched me in a deep place. Thank you for so many prayers! We receive them with arms open wide and pray that they will not be without blatant effect. Well! Our final Deeper Still is this weekend in Louisville, Kentucky. Kay, Priscilla and I are looking so forward to what God has in store for all 8000+ of us and, at the same time, will be tenderhearted to see our times together on this particular platform draw to a close. I hope to still be able to minister with each of these mighty teachers of God’s Word on other occasions and in whatever ways that please Christ. I have deep respect for them both. Priscilla and I texted back and forth yesterday as we do virtually every week over one thing or another and I visited with Kay on the phone this morning. They are spectacular women and, if you’ve never had the privilege of meeting either of them personally, you would love who they are one-one-one and in daily life as much as you love who they are as teachers. Each of them told me what direction they are headed in their messages this weekend and they both sound fabulous! I can’t wait! I’ll have my Bible open and my pen ready.
Tammie Head will also be with us, kicking off Saturday morning with a devotional. We are so thrilled to have this new Bible study author on board at this final Deeper Still! She wrote the brand new series Duty or Delight? A number of you probably remember meeting her through a blog video we did together. Pray for all four of us, Travis, and each member of the praise team to be filled with the Spirit, completely submissive to God’s leadership, preferring one another over ourselves, and alive and energetic in His Word and worship. For crying out loud, pray that for all 8000+ of us! We want so much to please Christ and to avoid quenching the Spirit in any conceivable way.
SO, would some of you like to go but you just can’t afford the ticket? We so understand that! Money is tight for so many of us and it can be hard to fit anything else in the budget. That’s what the Siesta Scholarship Fund is all about! We are setting aside Deeper Still scholarships for this coming weekend for the first 20 of you who call Susan or Kimberly during regular business hours (CST) at Living Proof. The toll free number is 1-888-700-1999. If you call over lunch or you go straight into voice mail, just leave a message with your phone number and they will get back to you as fast as possible. A number of people call all at once so they need a little extra patience as they field through each one. We are THRILLED that we can partner with Christ and with one another to offer these scholarships to you. May God sovereignly hand them out just as He sees fit.
How many of the rest of you already have tickets and are planning to come? Let us hear from you! You might also tell me very briefly what’s going on in your life right now so I could get a little flavor of the group God is bringing together. I’ll see you guys on Friday at FREEDOM HALL in Louisville, Kentucky! (If you saw that unedited version of my video blog on the Deeper Still site, I told you it was at Southeast Christian! I’m so sorry! That’s where I’ve spoken every other time and my poor blond brain defaulted right back to it. I even remember the event team saying Freedom Hall several months ago! In fact, we’re going with that name as a theme for the weekend. Blonder Than She Pays To Be struck again. So sorry for the confusion!)
I love you guys and I’m committed to serving you as long as God will allow. May He be evident in your day today!
I am coming to the event this weekend with a group of our ladies from Cane Valley Baptist Church in Adair County, Kentucky. I am so excited and looking so forward to it. This is the first time to see you all three together and since it is the last time for Deeper Still, I’m so glad we are able to come! Praying for you all, I know it will be a wonderful experience! Can’t wait!

Linda from MO
I am making the 7 hour drive with a group of ladies from my small church. Can’t wait! This is the 4th time I have seen Beth and Travis.
I had two ladies cancel at the last minute so I have two tickets if someone can use them.
I am currently struggling with a 23 yr old child who had an accident three years that required rods and fusion of four vertebrae. My child is very mad at God. Since not currently working will have to move home when lease runs out at the end of July. Our child has so much anger that I hardly recognize him/her as the sweet child my husband and I raised.
Linda
Please email me if you still have 2 tickets left. I might be interested.

I will be attending the Deeper Still event with 4 of my girlfriends, Can’t wait I attended the event in NC a few years ago. So excited to see what God has instore for me and my ladies. God is so working in my life right now with 2 teenage boys trying to spread their wings. I am so struggling on how to deal with the independence the 16 almost 17 year old is seeking and how to let go but not loose him he seems so mad when I ask him a bunch of questions about what he is up to. Praying for a fresh word from God. Thanks for all you guys do for the kingdom of Christ. To God be the Glory
Coming to Deeper Still with my BF Amy Snow and my Momma, Gayle May. The world can’t get much sweeter than hanging out with the Lord, incredible Bible teachers, and two of the best women in the world. Heading south from Springfield, Ohio and north from Nashville, Tennessee to meet in the middle.
Sweet Siesta-Mama Beth,
Thank you for the siesta scholarship fund! Because of that, i will be joining you this weekend. I was at the first Deeper Still. I was there as a life-long lover of Jesus who was struggling with a horrible addiction to pain medication. It was consuming me. I was spoken to by the holy Spirit and convicted of the separation from God this addicition was causing me. I specifically remember Ms. Kay saying”if you are not dead, then you have not sinned too far for God to bring you back” and you said “when are you going to get over your devastation with God”. I was hurting from painful situations and instead of allowing God to heal me, I turned to pills.
Well, I wish I could say the change was immediate, but it was a struggle. It took me another 11 months to finally admit to my husband and ask for help from my pastor. I am alive today by God’s miraculous grace. I should have lost my life, my job, my family, and God took care of it all. The behaviours I was using to feed my addiction should have sent me to prison, but God in his infiniate mercy, softened the heart of the legal authorities and I was not charged with any crimes.
I write this to you today as a beleiver in recovery since November 2008. God is amazing, He has healed me, He has redeemed me, and He is slowly giving back to me the years the locusts have eaten. I am now leading a recovery ministry at my church. God did not waste my pain and my struggle, He redeemed it for His good and purpose. After completeing Priscillas’ study of Jonah this winter, I knew I had to begin this ministry, and God is working His amzing power in it.
I am thrilled to be able to attend Deeper Still. After medical bills and issues and being off work for a while I did not have the money for tickets. Kimberly was so gracious to me to help me have a ticket for me and my friend who will drive from IL to KY with me on Firday.
I am so excited and open to see what God has to say to me this time. I also want to celebrate with my sisters at the work He has done in me!! Only here for Jesus!
I love you precious sister!
Tracy
Oh, Tracy, what a powerful story! Only Jesus! And, let me tell you, only Jesus could have healed this former pit dweller, too.
Thanks to all of you who are coming this weekend and told me something of your stories! They are so helpful! Keep them coming!
I know everything will be fine, because your hearts are to do His pleasure! Blessings to all!
I am coming! I was wondering if you’d do a giveaway but I couldn’t wait until the last minute. God provided some fantastic financial blessings for hotel/meals/air that made it possible for me to go.
Definitely praying for y’all!
I am very excited about this weekend. The last few years have been a long, painful season in which I lost my job, my church, all but one of my closest friends, and then both my cat and my precious sweet dog 2 days apart.
But God met me in my pain, just like Isaiah 6.1. When I had absolutely no one and nothing else, I learned that God is more than enough. Jesus has been binding up my wounds and healing me (Is 61.1-4, Ps 147.3, Jer 30.17). And while I still miss my Cindy tons and there are still some days that depression/anxiety totally beat me up, I have grown so much closer to God.
And now, detail geek that I am, I’ve been noticing many things lining up for this weekend, such as significant events in a 40 day block of time, 7 months since my beloved died, applicable verses in my quiet time, and others like that, all coinciding exactly with this weekend, giving me the impression that God will be doing big things. And isn’t Pentecost the next day? 😉
Whether something specific will happen on those days or if it means the start of a new season of harvest or maybe ministry, I don’t know. I am scared about what is next, but part of me does want to go and do something adventurous for the first time in my life. I have been knocking on a lot of doors, especially in Kentucky, Virginia, and have even been asking God about this new Bayou City church in Houston (was hoping to talk to AJ about that). Yes, I would love to move south – it is 93 here right now and I love it!
Very much looking forward to Siestas, awesome worship, the amazing Bible teaching, and hopefully cupcakes! 🙂
We are so so so excited about this weekend! We’ve decided to make it a girl’s weekend and we are leaving ALL of our children and husbands at home and plan on drinking alot of coffee and eating alot of chocolate.
Beth, thank you for asking for prayers for all of us who will be there worshiping and learning with you. We all have stuff going on in our lives, and we all want to be closer to our Jesus. One of the girls in my bible study put it best a while back when she said she’s praying we just get drenched in the holy spirit.
I AM COMING!!! and I cant wait. I was just thinking of the first DS in Nashville several years ago, and how God used it to equip me for the season following. Im praying to be open to whatever He has to say.
May His Name be Glorified!!
Safe travel to everyone 🙂
~love
See you there Kelly! Although not at the airport this time 🙂
Wishing, wishing, wishing….I could attend. I would love to take my daughter who just graduated from HS. She’s in the midst of decision overload and could use some fun & spirit-filled teaching.
God bless the team this weekend! You guys are changing lives and I love it!
…And excited to meet Tammie! Some of us are doing her Duty or Delight study online this summer.
If you don’t already summer study plans, join us! http://wp.me/p16nNd-aO
I am coming with three dear friends from Nashville. I’m so excited. Praying for all of you, can’t wait for the weekend!!
Cassie
I am so excited to get to worship with you in person this weekend at the Deeper Still Conference! I want you to know that you have been a precious mentor, teaching and encouraging me throughout the last several years of my life. I have had major life breakthroughs in every study I have done of yours! Your Esther study was a catalyst in setting my feet in the direction to publish two books! Thank God for you and the comedy relief you bring to our lives. A small group of us ladies are doing the study Living Beyond Yourself. A few of us are coming to the Deeper Still event this weekend and the others made us promise to take pictures of you so they can see what your hair looks like at this point in your life! LOL! I love you and thank you for all that you do to encourage us women in our walk with The Great King!
See ya Friday!
How exciting about those two books! God is so faithful!
Thank you so much, Beth! Yes! Praise the Lord! 🙂
Hello Beth, there is a group of 6 of us going all from Louisville. So excited about what the LORD has for us there. This is my 3rd Deeper Still- Nashville,Orlando and now the last one.
I have been richly blessed by GOD, you, Priscilla, and Kay every time…. oh my… the worship is incredible. Looking so forward to it.Currently we are doing Priscilla’s study of Jonah. We are praying for you all.
YES, I am coming this weekend with my daughter, one of my daughter-in-laws and a special church friend. I have been to “Living Proof” in Indianapolis a few years back, attended a simulcast when Beth was actually at Southeast (haha)because it sold out, and my Bible study group has helped host 2 other simulcasts, BUT, I haven’t been to a “Deeper Still” before. Am really looking forward to it-especially now since it will be the last one. I was wondering why, is it the last one?
Right now nothing earth shattering is going on in my life-thank heavens for times like this!! Praying for God to show up HUGE at Freedom Hall!
Marcia Brown, Salem, IN
I am one of the 8000+ who is packing today to head south to Deeper Still from “up north” in Nebraska. I’m so looking forward to relaxing and just soaking up God’s Word and the atmosphere engulfed in God’s presence and away from all the usual distractions. See you Friday night!
Beth, I have wanted tickets for the Deeper Still conference in Louisville for months but since my husband had a job change last fall our budget has been very tight and wouldn’t allow it. I saw you blog post today and was able to get a ticket for me any my daughter. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. I’m so excited and it wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of the siestas. I’ve not attended a Deeper Still conference before but did the bible study with a group in our church this spring. I’ve been so blessed in the past by attending your Living Proof conferences. You’re a blessing in my life and I thank you.
So happy you two are coming! Praise God for SSF!!
Hi Beth,
If you’ve never met Damaris Carbaugh, you should. She also is a wonderfully anointed sister!
God bless you and all the work you do in the name of Jesus!!!
Six friends and I are coming from Horizon Community Church in Cincinnati. Several of us have recently been called to serve on a women’s leadership team to help establish a women’s ministry at our new facility. Cannot wait to unplug from life, experience a taste of Heaven through corporate worship, and be equipped to live a life worthy of the calling He has placed on my life! See you soon…
Three of us leave tomorrow (Thursday) morning to drive from upstate New York to Louisville. (Of course we have planned for a little shopping at an Outlet Mall in Ohio Friday morning!) We are long-time best of friends and are excited about our road trip together and looking forward to all God had for us. We are all leaders–I’m on staff at our church– and going to this event where I have NO responsibilities sounds wonderful. 🙂
I can hardly wait! My daughter (Amanda), my sister-in-law (Annette), and my youngest son’s girlfriend (Ashley) are all coming, and we are pumped!! This is a FIRST ever for Ashley while the rest of us have been to Living Proof Live conferences, Annette attended the Deeper Still in Nashville several years ago, and I was fortunate to be able to attend Kay Arthur’s Women’s Conference a couple of months ago. Even though she just graduated from High School and will be moving up to the College and Career class, Ashley has been one of the sweet girls in the Sunday School class that I teach, so I am doubly excited for her. We will be heading out Friday morning for our 6 and a half hour road trip with wings of joy! Thank you so much for your willingness to be used of the Lord to so enrich our lives! (Hopefully, I will also be able to attend the Siesta Memory Verse get together in Houston in January! I am still right on target with my verses.)
We just started the study Deeper Still Faithful, Abundant, True at Metropolitan Baptist Church in Houston today. Kay was dynamic.
You, Priscilla, Kay, Tammie, and all 8000 will be in my prayers for this weekend. I remember the first one and sad to miss the last one. We are still in school here though this is the last full week, Mama duty calls: class parties, built a Yehakin today with my 4th grader’s class, last 8th grade band concert, field day, 8th grade awards ceremony and dance on Fri. Yes, I get to see my oldest all dressed up with his girlfriend! Whew! I am getting tired just typing it all out.
Also, on another note, I am flying to FL to help my half-sister during delivery of her 1st child late next week and needed the finances for that. Our relationship is complicated yet we understand each other having similiar backgrounds. You won’t waste a prayer on her, the little guy coming, and us as we try to figure out the future, she is leaving the dad(not married) of the baby, mutual decision.
Can’t wait to see pics and hear stories about this weekend from all the Siestas!
Praying for your family and you! Remembering our sharing time at DS Greensboro! Love you lots!
One of the many things I love about Siestaville is the ticket giveaways. I am not able to go but know those who do will be well fed and blessed and have a blast!
How is Hawk doing these days, by the way?
I am coming to Deeper Still this weekend and am very excited. It is also an amazing thing, because I will be celebrating my 40th birthday on Saturday. What is wild, is 10 years ago, I was not a Christian, didn’t know God at all, and rang in my 30th by downing a bottle of wine. A decade later, my life has changed 180 degrees for the better, and here I am ringing in my 40th in the company of amazing Godly women, learning and talking about the One who changed everything for me. I couldn’t be more psyched. (Except, I am a little concerned about this turning 40 thing…I am not old enough to be this old!)
Oh, man, Nancy. That is so cool of God.
My sister-in-law and I will be attending. This is her first time ever to go to an event like this. I have been to two LPLs, but this will be my first time at a Deeper Still event.
My SIL is going through and divorce. She has two children, one of which is handicapped ( he has CP, is in a wheelchair, has a feeding tube and a permanent trake).
I am a mother of three (ages 10,5 and 3). My husband is the worship pastor at our church and I am the Women’s Ministry leader. God is working through us in a mighty way at our church and we are feeling Satan trying to discourage us. We are under a huge financial strain right now. It always seems like every summer this happens to us. In the summer we have 3 different camps for children and we help with all three. It always seems like during those weeks we have some kind of financial problem that arises. I’m am praying with my all my might that those problems don’t take our eyes off of what God has called us to do.
Are you going to have a siesta meet and greet time like you did in St. Louis, MO?
We are very excited to see what God has planned for this weekend.
Can’t wait to have some awesome praise and worhip time with Travis and his team as well. I would love to have him sign a copy of his new book for my husband for Father’s Day! We have two copies, so I’m going to try and seek one out of the house and see if I can get it signed.
See you this weekend!! Love you!!!!!!
Looking forward to it! I am bringing my 23 year old daughter and 12 year old niece. We’re anticipating a Word! (or two or three!) Praying not only for you all but for all the women the Lord is drawing together…
Three of my friends and I are coming from Cape Girardeau, Missouri. We have been looking for a long time for the perfect conference and perfect timing. I believe this is it. We have all just become grandmothers and have been through illness, death, bankruptcy and life together. We are such good friends and Christ is the center. We are so excited it’s hard to explain and we have the “feeling” God is going to do something really big in Freedom Hall.
So wish we could meet any three of you personally although I know it would be one of God’s miracles if it happens. Praying for you and all 8000 of those in attendance. Cannot wait. On my knees for you, Lisa
A siesta meet and greet. Are you kidding? Oh my please please please let me know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no official Siesta meeting, but just keep your eyes on the big screens in case of a last minute plan!
I will be attending by myself from Illinois. I’ve been to a few LPL events but never to Deeper Still (although I’ve done both the “Anointed, Transformed, Redeemed” and also the “Faithful, Abundant, & True” Bible studies). I am definitely ready for a weekend of worship and the Word! Seems I’ve been kind of discouraged lately with some difficulties in our church, with my husband’s health, and just some uncertainty in a few areas. And can I say I’m feeling a little lonely lately, too? I know it doesn’t make sense in some ways, but a few circumstances seem to be emphasizing that right now, especially this week. Your video was encouraging (even if you did say the wrong location!) because it made me think that maybe I should just embrace the desperation for the moment to fully receive the Word God is bringing! I hope that makes sense. I’m really looking forward to seeing and hearing you, Kay, Priscilla, and Tammie, and I’m looking forward to worshiping with Travis and the team as well. Praying for all. . .
So thrilled to be coming with a dear friend who I met through the SSMT! We discovered each other in blog world the night before each of us left for Houston. It was such a whirlwind trip for each of us that we never even hooked up there! It wasnt until afterward that we discovered we live within a half hour of each other and we’ve been meeting for lunches and Starbucks ever since! This trip is such a celebration of this divine friendship! Also, we are in similar stages of our journey…ready and willing and waiting to cross that Jordan into something HUGE for His Kingdom. We both are just unsure what that huge thing is. We are indeed seeking Him this weekend.
Love and prayers to all!
I am coming from Nashville, TN with three of my friends.
I am a broken girl in desperate need of a Word this weekend. Satan has his claws in me so tight right now. I feel like I might suffocate. I am really struggling to break free and walk in truth. I have been battling a skin condition for some time now. I feel so much shame because of it. I struggle going out in public for fear that all people see is my imperfection. It is also causing issues in my marriage because I feel undesirable…even though my husband says it doesn’t bother him and he loves me regardless….bless his heart.
I fight the lies everytime I look in the mirror. The lies that tell me over and over again how disgusting I am. I will have small successes here and there and then fall back into the trap. I can’t seem to have any real victory over them. Depression has set in. I have been praying so hard for God to do a miracle in the depths of this soul. I still hold on to the promise that He will.
I will be there (it may be in tears), but I will be there on the edge of my seat in great expectation!!
Love to you!
My college bound girl-child and I are headed that way. I’m so looking forward to sharing this with her, especially before she leaves. May this be a time of special blessing in her life. Time with Jesus, my girl-child, and my friends Beth, Kay, and Priscilla-what more could I ask for?
Hi Everyone. I have been following Beth’s blog and just want to say that I am so excited for all of you who will be attending this weekend. I will not be there but I will pray for you all. I cannot wait to hear what God will do this weekend with all of your hearts and lives. God is so good.
To Beth, Kay, Priscilla, Travis and the worship team. May God bless you richly this weekend so that you can do mighty works in His name. Thank you all for taking the time to do these events and all the work you put into your studies and music.
I am excited to be coming to Deeper Still this weekend and I told my sister-in-law today, it’s the first thing I’ve done just for me in almost 9 months. And I would not even be coming if it weren’t for two Siesta’s, Brittney, (who came to see me a couple weeks ago from Kentucky) and Kelly, (saying that she was holding a spot in her room for me and would swing by and pick me up). I am coming out of a season of crisis and heartache with my family. And in the midst of hurts, God has relentlessly dealt with my own sins each time I wanted to say, “but they…”. I’m so thankful for the community of Siesta’s that have loved me and prayed for us this last 9 months. I don’t want the hurt and the pain to be in vain. I want the tragedy of our mess and our story to work together for His good and His glory. Drying my tears and going to go touch up my roots. Love you Mama Beth.
Oh Lora! Didn’t know about your trials! I will be praying the Lord will give you everything you need this weekend! Love you!
I am so very excited to hear all three of you bring us a mighty word from God. This weekend is special because it is a reunion of sorts of two of my closests friends. We are veteran Living Proof attendees but this is our first…and unfortunately….our last Deeper Still.
I am also very excited to share this weekend with my middle daughter who lives in Louisville. She and her husband are finding their way to a deeper releationship with Jesus and getting to know a new church they recently started attending. This in itself is a mighty, mighty answer to prayer.
We are all ready to just soak in God’s message that He has for each of us.
See you in the Ville!!
Praying for everyone at this event!
Tammy Paducah I cannot wait to be in Freedom Hall with you and 8000 Christians singing and praising our Lord!!
I have done all of your studies and have seen you live many times. You are the reason I know so much about my Bible. I have been a Christian all my life, but you lit the fire under me! I pray for you every day as I know how hard ministry can be. God Speed Beth!!
Beth;
I may not know you personaaly but, boy do I LOVE you….I know how hard trasition can be God has done this to me a couple of times over…His hand is in it…there will be so much blessings, Ill be lifting you your daughters and your new pastor..curtis. :.)
I am curiouse will this cahange affect our siesta gathering in houston the first of the year?
There will be 8 of us from GracePointe Baptist, Huntsville, Alabama making the 6-hour drive on Friday! We’re all hungry to hear from the Lord and will continue to pray for you 3 precious ladies! So excited!
I will be there this weekend with bells on. I am from Louisville and a member of Southeast Christian and I’m coming with a group of ladies from my Bible study group. We are so
looking forward to what God has in store for us. BTW, please pray that I make it as I have a sinus infection and a migraine due to the infection. If I don’t make it, I will be praying for all you wild and crazy women. Hope to see you there!!!
Moma Beth-I will be one of the 8000+ this weekend and I can’t wait. I will be coming and bringing one of my dearest friends, Diane. I have only known the Lord for 6 short years. Diane reminds me of you 🙂 She has spoke life into me more times than I can count and is daily teaching and mentoring me about how great our God is and how faithful He is. I have suffered many things in my life from childhood through adulthood but with the help of my friends–I have learned to know that through Christ I can overcome!! I have been given several assignments from my spiritual mentors, assignments that I am slowly completing with the help of our mighty God, the ultimate goal being complete wholeness in Him!
This will be my first time seeing you–I can’t wait to receive what God is willing to deposit in all of our hearts.
I won’t be there…but lot’s of my Siesta friends will be!! I was blessed to be at the Denver DS in May last year just before I made a mission trip to Africa. I have to tell you, I never thought another Bible teacher could rock my world like you, Beth. BUT, Priscilla did a number on me! I was challenged and encouraged and doin’ the ugly cry by the time she finished. SO thankful to have been there and heard 4 (Kelly Minter was there!)of the best Bible teachers ever! Prayers going up for all of the attendees, in Louisville…but especially for the Siestas who will be there!!
Melana 🙂
Dear Beth,
FREEDOM HALL was home to my beloved UL Cardinal Basketball team until this past year when we moved to the YUM Center. ULCARDSFAN knew where Deeper Still was being held. Next time check with me LOL
Love, Linda
WOW! 8000 WOMEN WHO LOVE THE LORD! IT WILL BE WONDERFULLY REFRESHING, CAN’T WAIT! I AM COMING WITH MY 4 SISTERS AND OUR 85 YEAR OLD MOTHER. AM I BLESSED OR WHAT? SINCE I MADE THESE RESERVATIONS MY SISTER LOST HER 56 YEAR OLD HUSBAND TO A MAJOR HEART ATTACK, MY MOM SPENT 6 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL DUE TO A DR’S MISTAKE AND OUR BRO WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A TUMOR ATTACHED TO HIS BRAIN STEM. BUT WE CONTINUE TO TRUST OUR CREATOR AND CLING TO OUR FAITH. WE SOOO NEED THIS WEEKEND IMMERSED IN THE WORD AND WORSHIP. I HAVE ENJOYED MANY OF YOUR STUDIES BETH, GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Blessings for a great event and may all of you enjoy your time together as this season is completed- Thank you dear sisters in Christ for ministering with you time, talent and love. We can’t wait to watch where God leads all of you next
My mom and I will be there! Flying up from Panama City Beach. We’ll have our spirals in-tow to practice saying our verses to each other during the flight. SOOOOOO looking forward to it!! Are any Siestas planning to meet anywhere? Dinner on Saturday??
Almost forgot to leave what you asked for –
Mommy of two little girls – one who just lost her first tooth and is almost impossible to leave because she is just looking too cute with that hole in the front of her smile. The other is a pint-size firecracker who gives the greatest hugs I’ve ever had. Will miss them terribly, but looking forward to a fresh Word and some one-on-one with my mom. Needed to get my hands up during some praise and worship time, too.
My adult daughters, Sara and Bethany will be coming with me to Deeper Still this weekend. Seventeen months ago my husband and their daddy went to be with Jesus after battling a brain tumor for 2 1/2 years. He loved the Word of God and preached it fearlessly for 33 years. When he died I lost not only my husband and best friend but my pastor. Our children and grandchildren miss him terribly. Life has continued to march right along for all of us and we are praying with fervor that He will speak a very direct word to each of us…uniquely to us…through each of you. He is good that way…and we can hardly wait. Sending much love and prayers, Debbie Starr Louisville, Ky.
Myself and eleven other ladies will be there. We are partners of Stonebridge Community Church in Dardeene Prarie, Mo. We are driving five hours, so are leaving Friday morning. We are all very excited to be coming and are so looking foward to what God had for us.
My family is on the road to becoming foster parents after feeling like God is basking us to this. Its very scary as we have small children at home still, but we trust God will guide us and we are praying He blesses our obedience. Will be praying for you ladies leading this event and for all others involved as well. Thank you for your love for us.
Won’t be attending this weekend. But I will be covering each of you (leaders and the attendees) in prayer. I just came home from facilitating our 3 night of our summer women’s Bible Study refreshed and knowing the God was in our midst. The only words I have to describe how I feel after opening the Word of God with these precious ladies is “Give me Jesus, Give me Jesus”! Praying this would be the cry of everyone’s heart this weekend as they attend Deeper Still.
