You Know I Had to Ask

How exciting that we get a chance to gather again but this time in Houston next January!!

I am just in the mood to ask because I want to know:

If you have been memorizing scripture with Beth and the siestas, are you planning on going to Houston next year?

I didn't want to call this a roll call because that is what I always call it. lol

I was so excited to read what Beth had written along with our 6th memory verse!! What a fun weekend!! God is good!!!

This has the same feel to me as Bible drill. :)

Okay, who is planning on going to Houston in 2010?

Sounds like so much fun and even more incentive to work harder on memorizing.

Laura said...

I am memorizing scripture right along with all ya'll but not going to be able to go to Houston cause I would so love too. Too far but still memorizing.

May we stay in the WORD!!

Yolanda said...

Absolutely.....have it on my heart to attend and meet many of you. I'm so stinkin' excited and THANKFUL! What a blessing.

Lovingly,

I'll be working towards it: 5 verses down! =)

Melinda said...

With one little possible conflict to still work out, my plan is to be there! What FUN!

I would love to! Not sure yet whether or not it will be a possibility.

lavonda said...

I'd love to if it works out!

and I'm loooooving my scriptures I've been memorizing. So many times at night, they play through my head, instead of all the thoughts and plans and worries for the next day.

Just imagine how far along I'd be if I'd been doing this all along! :)

Lisa said...

I am planning on being there. How exciting! I can't wait! This will be my first Siesta meet and greet. I can't wait to see everyone in person and pass out some hugs and hearfelt thanks for the encouragement they give each day!

Blessings - Lisa

Never has anything been so life changing for me as this Scripture memory has been so far...and it's only March! I just have to be there, and I'm believing God for it. I'm so excited!

I've been doing the scripture memory, and I don't know how I'll get there or anything, but I'm having faith that I'll be there! Surely when I'm this close I can find a way to get there! I'm very excited!

Blessings
Michelle

Sharon said...

God-willing, I will be there! I'm so excited!!!

Dori said...

So hard to answer a question about where God will take you in almost a year, but I'm going to try my best to get there. Husband has friends in Houston and so I would even have a free place to stay.

We'll see what the year holds, though.

I didn't get to go last time, sure would love to - I'm going to work towards it and see where I end up.

Teri said...

YES- YES- YES! I am a "newbe Siesta" and will be heading north for the event, for sure! I can't wait!!!

I attended the San Antonio Conference in August and heard all the excitement about the "Siestas" and "blogging"... I didn't know what either was, but my interest was perked from the conference! After I got home, I researched it and I began blogging just this November and have been into it ever since. Praise God for you all!

I'm memorizing scripture~ something God laid on my heart before I knew LPM was having the challenge. I am all over the LPM challenge.

Yeah God for everyone committed to hiding His word in their hearts and may He make a way for "mucho Sietas, to Fiestas" in Jan '10!

In Son-shine,

I'm hoping and praying to get there!

CountryKat said...

I am really wanting to be there. Will have to see how things are as the time gets closer.

Just to check it out I did look at possible airfares. I can fly on Southwest from Tampa to Houston for a reasonable price roundtrip. Hmmm :) Now to just trust God for that reasonable amount of money :)

I am soooo in!!!!

WendyB said...

Yes! I'm going to try my best to be there as well. What hotel shall we choose as Siesta HQ?

Chel said...

I Pray that I will be able to attend. I just started following all of this just as the event in San Antonio was about to happen. I am loving meetig so many new ladies through this bloggy-world. It is so much better than this old foggy one!!

Alexia said...

I needed an incentive to boost a get along in my hitch. I am planning to be there in the middle of our midwest winter.

After i missed the last one hubby said he would sel his spleen to get me there if they had another ... hopefully it won't come to that. I will be setting aside my babysitting money though!

I'd rather see all of you than get new shoes anyway!!!

Hoping too.........I asked before but have to ask again...what has ever been decided about the possible retreat in August?

Emmy said...

I am so excited! Can't wait! Have LOVED doing the scripture memory! It has been a blessing... it will be such a blessing to get to hug you all again! : )

Tara said...

I've been memorizing and hope to be there! San Antonio was so much fun, and this is sure to be a blast!

Memory making
Scripture saying
Siesta Sweeties
Happy Houston

I sure want to come - and I hope everything works out. I'll tell you this - I am memorizing the scripture and I am so excited about that.

Thanks Patty!

Love y'all,
GA Jan

Karen P. said...

I am so hoping to be there!

Cheryl said...

Don't think I'll make it. :(

Sherry said...

I sure want to come. January is a challenging month for me but this event will certainly be an incentive to "burn the midnight oil" to get everything completed at the office.

Moose Mama said...

Memorizing like crazy!

When Miss Beth calls you out by name and tells you to save your dollars to bring Miesta Moose, you sorta gotta go! Already got a room and roommates lined up!!!!

Where's the counter to tell us how many days left?

Gina said...

I've fallen off the wagon but am motivated to get back to memorizing me some Word. Nothing is a better motivator than the idea of leaving the frozen tundra in Janaury for a few days in Houston!!!

fuzzytop said...

I am planning on being there!

Blessings,

Dee said...

God is so good and has enabled me to memorize the verses He has laid on my heart. I am so grateful. I would love to go to Houston. I wonder if any more Mississippi Siestas will be making the trip?
We'll see what happens and in the meantime, I'll keep memorizing!
Love to you, Deidra

Teresa said...

Making plans to attend. Can't wait to meet siestas that I feel like I already know.

laurieboozer said...

I'm so excited you posted about this. I had been checking for a few days to see if there was any more info out there. I'm soooo excited! I'm a southern siesta out of Atlanta and have not really traveled outside of going to the beach in Florida, so this will be a celebration and an adventure for me. I'm sure there are other southern siestas out there who can help me out with details of flying to Houston??!!! Praying God will confirm, but I'm loving memorizing His Word!

Teri~Facedown said...

I hope to go!

Susan said...

I am planning to be there. It will be so nice to meet everyone. So God willing and the creek don't rise I will be thee.

I was so excited to see her post that blog, my family and husband thinks i'm crazy!! been checking airlines but think its probably better to wait til it gets a little closer to get a lower price. i will be coming from Washington state. Anyone have any good information on hotels?

Memorizing scripture is just so what I needed during this season. I am loving it! Yes, I am planning on coming. I havn't worked out any major details yet.
