Update: Thank you so much to all of those who were able to join us. In case you missed you, you can jump on and watch it now like you would a recorded video. Just click this link. For some reason, it cut about the first 30 seconds off, but after that you’re good to go. We love y’all!
Hey, you sweet things! You better know that I have not forgotten you for a single solitary day but, wooooo-eeeeee, girlfriends, your blog mama has had her hands full! I miss you so much, though! Would any of you like to jump on livestream right at 12:00 noon central standard time today (Wednesday) for 20 or so minutes? It would just be to say hi and to catch up a bit so if you’ve got something important going, don’t sweat it. There’s no big announcement or prepared subject matter. Just a happy hello and I surely do love you and I pray that you’re seeing Jesus revealed in all sorts of ways. That kind of thing and from the heart because you are indeed so dear to me. SO, I’ll see anybody there who has the time and, even if it’s just ten of us, I’ll be thrilled to touch base.
Just click on this link to hop on and join us!
I love you guys!
P.S. Just a friendly reminder that you do not need a password. While we’re preparing to launch, we have it up to work on a few logistics, but we will remove the password about five minutes before we go live at noon.
I will be there. Can’t wait!!
Hi! Beth,Missed your livestream. so saying hi now. I always enjoy hearing from you.
Baring any technical difficulties I will be there unless Jesus comes first!!!!
Missed ya! Will be great to see you in the flesh again!!!!
Wish I could, but will be at work. Would love to see Beth’s smiling face!
Love and Hugs,
Adrienne
Ooooh this excites me! It’s been a hectic few weeks and I am in the process of packing for an unexpected move 1000 miles away. I will most definitely take a break to join 🙂
Thanks I need a note from you often!!
YAAAYYYYYY!!!!
🙂
Was soooo good seeing you all in Colorado! Excited to hear and see you today! : )
Would love to! I saw Dale at work today (LifeWay) and had to tell him how much I was enjoying the Stepping Up study. My mom and I were in the filming and someone has said they saw her on the DVD (she passed away last year). I’m enjoying the study and watching closely for little clips of her in the audience…a double blessing!
A group of our church ladies just finished Breaking Free yesterday! Life-changing – just wanted to say ‘Thank you’.
We have a time of prayer at noon every day. I will pray for my siestas who will be on the livestream!
love to all – S. Lynn
I will be there too!
Made my day! 🙂
Yes!! I will be tuning in!! I am not working today so I am so happy!! See you soon!!!! 🙂
I have not done that before. Will definitely have to check it out and see how it works. Sure enjoyed the summer siesta Nehemiah study – so good….I must admit that I am still finishing the last week as I was on a mission trip to El Salvador with Compassion last week and couldn’t catch up to finish. I’m enjoying finishing up now after I’m back. Each of the videos and so much of the teaching spoke directly to what I’d be experiencing in El Salvador. God is good. Hope to see you at noon. 🙂 Blessings to you!
I will be there as well!
YAY!!!…I can’t wait!!! I posted it on my facebook to all my girlfriends to see too :)…Love you Siesta Momma!!!
YAY!
Can’t wait!!!!
So excited!!! I will sure try to be there 🙂
I will be right here… although the noise level of my 1 year old may affect my listening ability 🙂
Perfect timing!!
I’ll be there. So glad I checked FB before calling it a day! It’s almost midnight where I am.
Sweet Beth,
I would love too, I am not sure how to do livestream.
But, I do have something to tell you…I love your Bible studies! I was so wrapped up in my blanket of God’s love yesterday while listening to the dvd’s on James and my heart was full and my tears could not be held back. Then,
suddenly the phone rang and I just wanted to tell whoever
was calling, “You can’t call me right now, I have to cry this out. Can’t you see I’m in the middle of something here.”
I related to so much you had to say about growing up in a military family and having a mom who was there, but seem so distant. My mother passed away without giving me any closure too. I wanted to hear those precious words “I love you” and where were the hugs? I do know her own dad did not live right, but it just seems so strange sometimes. I am thankful I have my own family and like you I want them to know I love them and especially God loves them. Thank you for sharing that story. It just touched my heart.
In fact, the whole James Bible study I did by myself but I loved it. I truely loved every minute of the study. If we have time I will share it with our church later, they have such a busy schedule right now. But, know that I truly care about others and I feel God is working in my life to do something special. I am praying as He leads. in Christ
Got my PB&J – ready for lunch while watching!
Ooo, FUN!
SOOOO EXCITED!!
Blasted, I’m at work and they have the livestream site blocked 🙁
Well, I did get to listen to you on mainstream. Thank you for speaking in the name of the Lord and sharing such a humbling message.Bless you. Praying for God’s guidance and He will help me to remain faithful always. in Christ
It was so good to see you, Beth! Thank you so much to your team for helping pull this off this morning. This is the first time it has worked out for me join in live and I was blessed by it. I will get to those errands later. 🙂 I feel no matter what angle I am looking at myself I am seeing my weaknesses and indeed I am in a position to be marvelously helped by the Lord. Thank you for reminding us that when we are strong we stumble on our pride, yet when we are weak we are in a position to be marvelously helped by a God who sees us and loves us. Praise Him.
Every time you take the time to say “hi” to us via video it makes me feel so loved. Thank you for that. We all need a friendly face encouraging us in our walk with the Lord…thank you for being that face today! Next month our women’s Bible studies pick back up at church. We will be working through Faithful, Abundant, True Sept thru Dec and then Mercy Triumphs starting in Jan. I am SO looking for to both! God bless you and your team.
OK,
So I had to download Livestream uber quick on my phone because I saw this right at 12….so here’s my question. Did I see *today’s* stream? (Marvelously helped?) Because it cut me off during prayer time. I just have to say, I usually always go out to lunch, but today, I sat in my car (for what I thought was going to be prayer time) and just waited and what do you know but I got a fresh Word instead. All Praise to our Christ and King!
Yes ma’am! Marvelously helped is it!
EXACTLY what I needed — thank-you so much, Beth. I would rather be marvelously helped than strong — put that up as my fb status. Love you Beth Moore — hoping to come to Reading PA in Sept. Blessings to ALL of you for pulling this off last minute. 🙂 <3
Beth,
Thank you so much for a great update, and please know your prayer was what I needed at the exact time God knew I would need it!
All praise and glory to the Lord Jesus Christ! I am so thankful for what your Ministry has done in my life!
In Christ,
Lisa
Hello Siesta Mama,
I’m so glad you took the time out of your busy schedule to say hello! I missed the live stream but was so blessed by your words just the same.
I have to tell you I have been so blessed by the faithfulness of God. I had been telling Jesus how much I had been wishing for a new place to live with certain amenities that would make life so much easier but was sure I would never find one in my price range. Wouldn’t you know shortly after a place dropped right in my lap with everything I asked for and more and at a price I can afford! So here I sit amongst piles of boxes that seem never ending, but man do I feel blessed! Just wanted to share. Hope ya don’t mind. Love ya’!!
Thank you so much for taping this – missed the live feed but I am so blessed by this – perfect timing!!! I appreciate your ministry Beth!!!
I waited all morning and turned this back on at noon, so excited to watch…then realized I’m in California…so I was only two hours late. HA! Thanks so much for putting up the recording, though. So good to have lunch with you today!
Beth,
Praise God that his timing is perfect. I missed the live feed but I watched the link and I so needed this word today. Thank you for your obedience and your transparency in your ministry! I love you too, and hope one day to tell you in person…til then I’m so thankful for this blog!
Dear Beth,
I have tears just streaming down my cheeks right now. Our Lord has such peculiar timing.
I needed the word you shared today, as I am wrestling through some ministry situations that are enough to make me slam my head in a door. :p As I stared at the screen, it felt like I was finally getting a sit down talk with my BFF. Only she is miles away and we’ve never met. It’s just the strangest thing.
But what made my breath catch is that I have been doing a great, old study that I found at Goodwill for $1 by Kay Arthur. All summer long, I’ve spent in…..GET THIS……Lord, Give Me a Heart For You…..
You paused and said BOASTING….while I said….BOASTING.
Lord, help me, but when I have felt so alone in this season there is not one part of it that has been forgotten by the Lord or unseen by Him.
You may never read this…thanks, Lindsee for moderating!….but there are no coincidences.
I choose this day in every way to be “Marvelously HELPED rather than strong.”
Boasting in my weakness and with great love,
Lee
What a wonderful post Lee! I absolutely love it when God blatently gets your attention in a way that you know without a shadow of a doubt that He’s talking DIRECTLY TO YOU! Praise Him. He is so faithful.
Dear Beth,
Thankyou for Marvelously Helped!!!
Our family has had quite year with our handicapped son ending up at Mayo clinic twice and so much other activity going on. It is finally winding down here and I have been asking God why we have not been as blessed as alot of people I know who have no health concerns to get through, why have our crops suffered this year (we are ranchers and farmers out here on the Dakota prairies) while others are enjoying reaping the best harvest in many years. We worked very hard getting a home ready for a misplaced minister so we have been busy in the Lord’s work but yet it seems we are in need here more than ever. Our calf crop is not large this year either and I have no idea how we are gona make our financial commitments this year. But I would rather be seeking His help than have our barns full of grain becuz when we have plenty we tend to become prideful and start to rely on our own stregnth. I am really wondering after reading that Second Chronicles story with you today if that is not how our God likes us to be. I think of how Habbukuk wrote too in Chapter three of that book how he would praise his God whether or not he had anything at all with which to praise Him. In need or in abundence He still blesses us with great measure and I know even though I do not know how long this drought will hold us in it’s grip or if our son will become ill again or if my dearest pet puppy sleeping beside me who seems to be getting sicker with her cancer if all this will all come to a horrible end still I will priase Him becuz He still blesses us with what we need. Thankyou for your word today I know God wanted me to hear it. By the way how are you doing dear Beth, are you staying the course too? Love Betty
Sorry I missed u but we were at a BethMoore simulcast meeting!!! I’m not sure if u’ve heard about it or not but WE can’t wait!!!! Love u siestas and I’m so sorry I missed a great opportunity!!

So good to hear from our Siesta Momma today! Thank you so much and praise God for the fresh word.
My mom and I along with two other ladies from church are packing up Friday morning and heading to Charleston for LPL and we’re estatic and expectant all at the same time. Praying God’s blessings over the LPM team as you prepare, travel, and serve this weekend!
Oh, I hate it when I miss a party – esp one online – and esp one I wouldn’t need to dress up for! When I get a few minutes I’ll get back online and watch! Have a happy August Wednesday, all!
Thanks for your message. Was damaged this past week by extreme greed and dishonesty by others. I’m so tired of trying to be strong for myself and others. I’m just so tired. Through your message today I realize that instead of me being strong that I am indeed being marveously helped by our Almighty God, otherwise I know I would have crumbled by now.
I asked God this morning to please give me a word; please speak to me today. And He did. He is so faithful.
Thank you for taking time today to follow your prompting (aka the prompting of the Lord).
With highest regard,
Patsy H
Thank you, Beth, for sharing your heart! I love how God orchestrates things – and uses the body of Christ to encourage and uplift. He used you today to encourage and remind me that He is the one marvelously helping – through our weakness. That we don’t have to be strong enough to do it on our own – He is glorified in our weakness.
Thank you. so much!
I struggle with this because in asking God for more blessing on my writing, I find myself wondering, would I get off track, I hope I wouldn’t, I would not want to, and you have been such a wonderful example of always giving God the glory for the work He’s done in your life, I want to always give Him glory for all He’s done in mine. And all He is going to do from this day forward!
Thank you Beth for this Word from the Lord! I absolutely LOVE when you said, “I would rather be marvelously helped than strong”. If being “strong” leads into pride….then I don’t ever want to be strong! I hope that from now on, when I receive a compliment, I can reply, “I have been marvelously helped by God!!”
Hi Beth, what a sweet surprise and encouragement! It was so good to see you and hear about being “marvelously helped.” I am working through alot of family and communication issues, and am certainly NOT feeling strong at the moment, so God knew just what I needed to hear through you!
Blessings to you also as we go through these days together with Jesus before us , behind us, and placing His Hand of Blessing on our heads! *Psalm 139*
Thanks dear sister!

So happy to see you on here – I was really starting to miss the momma 🙂 I love what God showed you (and all of us) through this text, and I especially loved the prayer at the end <3 I was praying on my knees with a 4 year old and an 18 month old (both who happened to be eating goldfish off of the dog-hair floor). gotta love it 😉
I was so disappointed to know I missed the live stream, and then so thrilled when I saw that it was saved for those of us unable to join you at noon. I am most Marvelously Helped by God every day!
I am most assuredly awed by God’s love for me each day. I am also awed by your love for us. Time out of your busy schedule to “catch up,” means the world to me. Thank you all so much for all you do. May God Bless you all more than there are stars in the sky.
LPL Austin made me know, without doubt, that I am Living Proof (Hebrews 4:12). I am eternally grateful that God brought you into my life.
Wish I’d checked my e-mail earlier!
So missed you . Looked yesterday to see where you were . So I was so delighted tonight to catch up .. Tea and Beth . Message was perfect . Praying for you and family and ministry .
