Continuing our weekly conversations...

The deal: Each Thursday, we announce a question of the week. We seek to ask questions that spark interesting conversations, whether it simply be about books, traditions, spiritual disciplines, more theological matters, or anything related to life in general. You can join our conversations two ways:

1. Leave a comment with your thoughts!

2. Or, if you prefer, post an answer to your own blog and leave us a link to your post so we can comment and add to the conversation. If you post on your own blog, you are welcome to use the picture above as long as you link back to us somewhere in your post.

This week's question...

What are your plans for the summer?  How are you going to serve the Lord in your free time?

    I am going to be participating in a contest called the Bible Bee. It's like a spelling bee, only it's about the Bible. I'll be spending the summer memorizing Bible passages and studying books of the Bible. I've done this for two years now and have been extremely blessed by it. It's so amazing to commit so much of God's Word to memory. The benefits of it are countless! Check it out at biblebee.org.

    At the end of July I'll be attending Regeneration, which is a conference put on by John MacArthur's church. Otherwise I hope to be working a lot, and hopefully volunteering so as to share the good news of Christ with others I wouldn't normally get a chance to communicate with.

    So many people it seems have been asking me that question lately. a few weeks ago finished an 8 month stretch of ministry and work. Now I feel God is giving me more free time. I plan to let Him lead and take me where I need to go. In the meantime I'm going to be doing a lot of writing and spending time with family.

    I'm going to Arizona with some other college students in the college ministry at my church. We are looking to get jobs and will spend the summer helping a church down there. We will spend a good portion of our time doing a lot of outreach stuff and community service. I am excited, but it will be very challanging as well.

    The academic year at my college ends soon and then it's a two week summer break. Then once the two weeks are up, all of the students (including me) will be coming back as camp counselors!!! My college runs a summer camp during the summer for the youth. Our main focus is to bring as many campers to Christ as we can while having fun at the same time. It is going to be exciting and fun, but also very challenging and tiring at the same time.

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
