Bible Study Fellowship



In one of my earlier posts I talked about BSF. It stands for bible study fellowship. Before I had kids I had also heard moms rave about this bible study. It is international. It's deep. They have an incredible children's program. And my husband's favorite word. Free. It is free. They provide you with all your lessons and you never pay for child care.

I have been apart of it for almost three years now. I don't think I can really express my love for the way they do this study. They pick a book of bible and do an in depth study. My first year we were in Isaiah, last year Acts and now this year we are in Genesis. It grows me, it challenges me, and most of all its making me want more and more of Jesus.

Here is my favorite part though. The children's program is incredible. The kids learn the same lesson you are learning. This year I have had the privilege to get to be a children's leader. Oh it has been such a blessing. First off, because I get to teach the word of God to three and four year olds! How awesome is that? But these kids teach you so much as well. It is a big commitment with two young kids, but my kids loooove it! Getting to be trained by how they run this program has helped me become a better mom. I find myself singing hymns with my kids and since I am teaching the lessons myself too-so I get to to go over it with my kids. Your kids in this program will be prayed over, taught bible stories, scripture verses, hymns, have their own quiet time and just be poured on with so much love. I would recommend BSF to any mom looking for a great study and something to do along with your kids as well. I'm constantly blown away.

The other day Carter was just sitting at the table singing O is for obey. "O" is for Obey, "O" is for Obey, Obey is doing what you should, "O" is for Obey."He is constantly singing songs now. He didn't sing that much before. Even today he said,"Mommy, I want you to sing songs to me" Then he will just jump in and sing along. He has made so many fun friends and has grown so much being in the program since he was 10 months old. Tucker has been in it now since he was two months old and he has never ONCE cried when I have dropped him off. Each week a volunteer holds Tucker and then thanks me for letting them love on him. Thanking me sounds crazy because I am so grateful for these women who love and pray over my kids.

This is Carter and his BFF Olivia as they blow bubbles while we are cleaning up after class one day.
