Congratulations!! You did it!!
As we wrap a bow on our SSMT year and prepare for the upcoming Celebration, we want to send along our encouragement to you to continue in this great work. Some of you have already told us you are continuing to memorize on your own, or have even formed your own local teams. We couldn’t be happier to hear it!
Beth and LPM will plan to see you right back here next Jan 2017 to link arms together to hide God’s Word in our hearts. He is worthy!
Beth,
Just watched your Living Proof Bible Study and enjoyed it very much. I have been involved in many of your studies. You certainly get fired up and I feel your passion.
Love your enthusiasm
Blessings…
I recently decided to stop going to church with the friend who I was memorizing verses with. I was really excited to find someone that would hold me accountable. The church that we were attending together worries me though. I won’t share those worries here. Maybe I can start sharing my memory verses with y’all, though.

Blessings to you all and continue to nurture your relationships with our Father. he is the only one we can count on in this uncertain world.
Love y’all

Dear Beth and your team at LPM,
I thank you for your faithfulness to encourage others to hide God’s word in our hearts. What you said is so true about how God will bring them to fruition. Posting this past year was extremely difficult. I Comercial fish in Alaska, and spent seven months on our boat. Believe it or not there is not Internet available in every place in the US. But I stayed true and persevered eveving though I posted late. Late me tell you our God is faithful. He started opening my eyes wide and brought continual opportunities in my life to use the scriptures. Many of the ones I learned for one reason only to find there was so much more. When I finally got home in Oct. I pulled out my bible study on the fruit of the Spirit. It’s my faithful deliver when times are tough. It was during my Tim with the Lord that my eyes were open to the scriptures I was learning. He had been using them throughout the summer, but by the last portion of scripture scripture my eyes were open wide to why God had me memorize the ones I had. I tried to find the blog for this year but couldn’t . So I’m litterly opening my mouth wide and he’s filling it and keeping me laughing along the way.”Open your mouth wide and I will fill it. Psalm 81:10 NIV . So ladies litterly open your mouth wide and he WILL fill it.
I love your story of persevering in memorizing, Lucia, even out on the seas! I too believe He helps us chose our verses even when we don’t fully know why!
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. Romans 12:1 NIV
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed,for I am
your God.I will strengthen you and help you;I will uphold you
with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 NIV

Praying for you Siesta Sisters. Wish I could be there with you!

I doubt this gets read but have to post anyway…..I traveled a total of 2000 miles in four days by car for the SSMT event. Very powerful and will be doing it again in 2017. However, I need to share that I could not bring a sentence to the front because I had too many. Not long after I got home last night I received a message that my cousin had found his son dead in his bed. He is a nursing student that has Crone’s disease and had just came through a horrific surgery and healing process. Sadly, I do not know his relationship to Jesus Christ…..
Horrific and unexpected tragedy comes in the blink of an eye, in one breath life changes from what we know that moment forever NEVERTHLESS GOD IS FAITHFUL AND IS ON HIS THRONE. My family, very close with our cousins all over the US, needs much prayer. Thank you.
Oh Lisa, I am so sorry to hear about your cousin’s son. So very hard. Yes, this is a perfect “nevertheless” situation. Our prayers join yours for our God of comfort to bring peace and healing to your entire family, like only He can. You are loved.
Colossians 4:12 NIV
“…wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured.”
Should I stop expecting anymore posts?? I don’t do facebook or twitter, so this is where I go to see if there is anything new.
Hi Anne, We are still here at the LPM Blog! We typically host SSMT every other year, so there will not be any posts this year about it. We do hope you continue the good work of memorization on your own, or grab a friend and do it together!

Such a wonderful time. I can’t wait for the next Siesta Scripture Memory Celebration. Thank you to all who helped to make this a awesome experience. Beth really brought us such sweet, impacting words from the Word of God. I am so grateful for the Holy Spirit working through her. Im also Very thankful for the laughter, tears, joy and peace that I receive when I come to listen. But more importantly, I am so grateful for what memorinzing the word of God has done for me and my daily life. It’s a craving that I never want to stop.
Will you be posting a recap video or any of the pictures that were taken?
Thank you
Meredith
So glad to hear the Celebration meant so much to you, Meredith! We have a fun recap coming this week. Stay tuned!
Mrs. Moore I want to tell u thank you. I did your Big God bible study many years ago. I was losing my kids because of my addiction. So much had to happen for God to move but they are with my family. Our God is big. Thank u.
I am Waaayyy late in posting this but i have not gotten the chance to participate in the SSMT before, just found these posts from last year.. Since Beth isn’t doing another SSMT till 2017, can she get her staff to make a new Spiral Cover for 2016 for those of us who would like to participate in the spiral keeping and posts on here and facebook?
You’re so sweet to want us to make you a cover, Mandy. I wish we could say yes, but I have full confidence in your ability to create just the right cover for your scrips. 🙂
