A trace of where we've been on the web this week...

With Christmas just around the corner, it can be easy to let yourself be swept away in the shopping, parties, and all the material things involved. But as believers, we need to remember to focus on what Christmas is really all about. Sure, gifts are great, but this holiday is all about the Best Gift Ever, Jesus. When Jesus is your reason for Christmas, it's all about Him. And World Vision's Christmas catalog allows you to truly share Him with others by giving Bibles, loving care for an orphan, a well for a village, and much more. So head on over and find a present that shares Jesus in a practical and life-changing way!

The other day, two different friends sent me this video. I'm the not kind of person who watches every single video sent her way, but this one was definitely worth the few minutes. Shoppers in one Canadian mall got a a special Christmas shock while eating lunch...enjoy!

Joyful in Him,
Joanna, Megan, & Jessina

    My family did that this year. Mom and dad had a bunch of extra tithe money and they gave each of us kids a hundred. It was a TON of fun!

    Greetings,
    I heard about your magazine through 'Do Hard Things'.
    I was expecting it to be aimed more at teenagers.
    The design template does not convey that age group. It looks crisp, adult,wordy and a little boring. Certainly not fun and youthful.
    What is your target audience and demographic?
    I thought you might be interested to know my first impressions.
    I have followed the magazine and am interested to read the content.

Farewell

For over 11 years, Bloom! has existed to spur you on in your journey towards Biblical womanhood.  What started as a big dream in the hearts of three teen girls, turned into an international print magazine and then later turned into a thriving blog.  Our heart has been to go beyond the fluff and dig deep into God’s Word and into how to practically apply that to our daily lives.  If any good has come out of Bloom! , we know it is because God is the one who waters the seeds we plant ( 1 Cor. 3:7 ).  This journey of magazine and blog has spanned for over a decade and what a thrilling and beautiful one it has been.   God has deepened and widened our worldview.   He has given us a deeper understanding of His ways.   He’s brought me (Joanna) through some really hard times and pushed me to write despite the pain .   He’s shown me that although I am nowhere near perfect, He can still use me anyway. One thing He’s been teaching me recently is that sometimes, some chapters mus

The Art of Spiritual Journaling

- And we're back! Thanks for your patience while we took a brief hiatus. We're back to posting regularly and we have some exciting new stuff planned for the weeks ahead (including a few book giveaways!), so check back again throughout the week. - Also, a note: if you're a reader and would like your blog added to our sidebar, please leave us a comment or e-mail us. We're hoping to start a list of links on our sidebar of all of our readers' blogs. - - I have never been much of a journaler. I have always been very much a future thinker and would rather write a list of goals rather than recount the events of a past day or flesh out my confusing emotions on paper. But within the past year or two I have been discovering the art of journaling as a spiritual discipline, discovering that journaling has the power to broaden my understanding of God, to help me find the splendor in the ordinary, and to help me see more clearly God's grace at work in my life. - No
