Calling all writers, designers, and photographers!

By -
Do you love to use your skills, learn new things, and encourage believers around the world?  Are you passionate about helping others along their journey towards Biblical womanhood?  Then we want you to prayerfully consider joining the volunteer staff of Bloom!.

As you've noticed, our posts on this blog have slowed down significantly over the past few months.  Due to various reasons, including college and such, Jessina has stepped down from the webzine (we'll definitely miss her inspirational writing and sweet presence here, though!).  Megan and Joanna have been busy juggling college classes, jobs, internships, mission trips and injuries.  While we still want to stay involved with this webzine, we've come to realize that we can't contribute to the same extent that we used to. We still have hundreds of readers, and we want to continue to use this platform and stay involved with this community that God has given us.

This is where you come in. We are looking for a few girls in their teens and twenties who would be interested in writing a thoughtful article every once in awhile for Bloom! (details to be arranged).  We are also looking for girls in their teens or twenties to help with the photography and design aspects of the webzine, especially anyone with prior experience in web designing.

If you are interested in applying for this one year commitment to serving with Bloom!, please email a cover letter (which is basically a letter of introduction and why you'd like to join our staff) and two writing/design/photography samples to bloommag@comcast.net. Please include your age, website/blog (if you have one), and salvation testimony.  If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or send us an email.

We look forward to hearing from you and can't wait to see what our God will do!

Blessings,
Megan and Joanna

    Hi there! My friend sent me the link for your post (so this is the first I've heard/seen of your site). I'm interested in both photography and writing. Would you be able to give me more details about your site, more details about what such a commitment would involve (for instance, how often would you need someone to post, and would you give them the topics?) and what the main mission of it is, and could you include your own personal testimonies as well? :) Haha, I realize that's quite the request, but I was just wondering if you could explain some more about this :)

    Laura,

    Thanks for the note! If you could email us at bloommag@comcast.net, we'd love to get in touch with you on more specifics (I'm afraid this would be a gigantic comment otherwise!).

    Looking forward to hearing from you!

    In Jesus' love,
    Joanna

    Do you accept freelance articles? I'd love to write for Bloom occasionally, but I don't have time to commit as a volunteer.

    Tori,

    We'd love to receive any articles you've written. Simply send them to us at bloommag@comcast.net. We'll certainly consider using them!

    Also, even if you don't have a lot of time to volunteer, please consider applying anyway - if you're a good fit for Bloom!, perhaps you could write for us less frequently.


    Hope to hear from you soon!

    Keep your eyes on Jesus!
    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 recently is that sometimes, some chapters mus

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
