Beth Moore

I forgot my camera so here is a great video of the conference you can view.

And you should view it first!

Beth talked to us about Jeremiah, a book I don't think I have ever

studied this much. Her outline was Eat, Pray, Love...from the new

movie that is out now with Julia Roberts. It's about a woman

that just got out of a broken relationship and is searching

the world for God (maybe not my God...but a god..). It may not be the

best movie morally..but, it makes sense when reading the verses below.

You can search the world over and live in a desert much of your life

but you will not find ultimate love and satisfaction until you meet your heavenly

Father. And you will not bear fruit until you submit to Him and die

to yourself and forget your idols.

One of the big things that I took away was what the

definition of a desert was, or an explanation of what the desert is.

Jeremiah 2:2

"Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem: I remember

the devotion of your youth, how as a bride you loved me and

followed me through the desert, through a land not sown."

In the desert nothing is plowed, nothing is being dug up.

Only in the fertile land will a plant grow and be fruitful.

Matthew 15:13

"Every plant that my heavenly Father has

not planted will be pulled up by the roots."

Jeremiah 31:25

"I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint"

By following our addictions and idols we are in the desert.

ANY part of our hearts that arn't brought before God are open
to destruction.

Here some verses she gave us that may also be inspiring to you

EAT: "I brought you into a fertile land to eat fruit" Jer. 2:7

"When your words came I ate them, they were

my joy and my heart's delight." Jer 15:16

PRAY: "You will call upon me and come and pray to me, and

I will listen to you." Jer 29:12

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you

great and unsearchable things you

do not know." Jer 33:3

LOVE: "I have loved you with an everlasting love, I have drawn

you with loving-kindness." Jer. 31:1-6

"Give thanks to the Lord Almighty, for the Lord is

good, His love endures forever." Jer. 33:11

"Should you then seek great things for yourself?? SEEK THEM NOT!" Jer. 45:5

We had pretty awesome seats on Friday night,
rightdown in front. We got there almost an hour
and a half early to get these. Though we stayed up too late
Friday night devouring the pizza below and watching a movie
we arrived about 15m before the show started Saturday and
still got floor seats! See the ladies in blue down in front?
We sat right behind them! God is good..

Notice the odd short slice? How does that happen? They
cheated us out of a 1/4 of a slice! :D
