Here are some links to lift your spirit and boost your weekend!

Breezy Brookshire, in her blog A Bowl of Moss and Pebbles, pens an encouraging article appropriate for the new year. In it, she writes, "I often ask myself—when I need clarity, when I need to reevaluate, when I need to once again find that spot on the horizon—I ask, “What do I really want?” What are my motives? Do they honor God? Are they fine things to desire, but not the best? What “best” does God want me to pursue?" To read the rest, click here.


in His love,
Joanna, Jessina, and Megan

    Speaking of the print version of Bloom- will it ever be out again? I only got one issue before the online version started- but I've read it a million times over. I, and even some others of spoken to, wouldn't even mind if you'll have to pay to subscribe- I'm sure it was very taxing to make it available for free. Though, of course I understand that you want to make the message available to many. But I liked before, how the magazine came, but there was still plenty to be read online. Anyways, I was just curious about the whole ordeal...
    And I just love Bloom in general!
    The path of biblical girlhood has been quite lonely for me. Thanks for being here.

    Thank you for sharing that wonderful love story! It is so good to have just such a reminder of how amazing life can be when we shift our focus from ourselves and the world and focus it on God. The encouragement is greatly appreciated!

    I remember reading that chunk. It was a very good allegory.

    Sunshine,

    If you (and any others who would like) would send e-mail us (go to "contact" page), I'd be glad to send you the PDF links to a few other issues of the magazine.

    As for when it will come out again in print, I'm not sure if or when that will be. We'll see what the Lord has in store, eh?

    Thanks for your kind words of encouragement!

    In Christ alone,
    Joanna

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 recent...

The Art of Spiritual Journaling

By Jessina -

- 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...
