Children of the Day - a post on Beth Moore's Bible Study

My sis-in-law invited me to be a part of a Bible Study at her church this fall. I had done personal studies in the past, but never a true study with a large group of women. Especially with a large group of women that I didn't know, aside from one (my sis-in-law). :)

Thankfully they provided daycare, which if they had not, then I would have not been able to join.

As with many church events, there was always a smorgasbord of food! Each table of ladies took one weekly meeting and provided the tasty goods for the entire room - well over 50 ladies! It was funny, kinda, when it was our week and only three of us could make it and so we each ended up bringing about 4 different plates of breakfast-type foods. That made for a busy morning for me and the kids, trying to get out the door with not only our stuff, but all that food too!

The study was by Beth Moore - Children of the Day. It encompassed 1 & 2 Thessalonians and was absolutely incredible. I found that even though she requires a LOT of homework in her studies, it was something I've been needing. And there was so much great information in each day's reading. It actually gave me a little more interest in the historical background of that time and what happened throughout Paul's journey.

I sadly wasn't able to make the last video session. A winter storm blasted through and the roads, while drivable, weren't the best condition for me to get the kids out and drive 25 miles. SIL didn't make it either, so we want to get together and purchase that specific video and finish our study out together.

So a couple things from this wonderful experience -
1) My SIL and I grew closer in our relationship having that weekly interaction and common topic
2) The kids benefited from being in a stranger's care in the nursery there at the church
3) It gave me a new passion for reading and studying the Bible (although life has gotten in the way again and I'm finding it hard to breath, let alone open my Bible for any large piece of time)
4) I'm super excited to do another Beth Moore study again... and possibly one of these days lead one at my own church if the Lord so directs me

If you have the opportunity to do one of her studies, I highly recommend you do so! I've heard from several friends who have done other Beth Moore studies that they are fantastic as well.
