Here's a round-up of our favorite links from this month...

Ellerslie

A place, according to the website, that is "the birthplace of heroes".  Out in Windsor, Colorado God is using authors and speakers Eric and Leslie Ludy to train young people to be strong in the Lord and to passionately serve Him.  Check out their website and be sure to listen to a sermon or two - you'll find yourself being inspired and blessed in so many ways!

Sister to Sister: On Rest

As many of you are starting back at school or college, we thought it an appropriate time to highlight one of our past articles by Dahlia Mayberry on resting in God.  Dahlia writes, "Rest has been a word that God continues to speak to my anxious heart and busy mind. As a student at Cornell University, I daily struggled with rest. And it was through these daily struggles that God taught me the importance of rest. He has revealed to me that in order to rest we must trust Him with our entire being for it is only in God that we find true rest."

    Dahlia's article "On Rest" was just what I needed! Since I'm a struggling perfectionist, I need to be reminded that my purpose isn't to "ace my exam," as Dahlia says - it's to live in complete surrender to Christ!

    ps: I've been reading this blog since you started it, and it's still one of my favorites :)

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

- 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
