A trace of where we've been on the web this week . . . today we're focusing on upcoming conferences!

2010 Set Apart Girl Conference
Eric and Leslie Ludy are hosting another conference for young women of all ages in Windsor, Colorado. It looks like a really exciting weekend with general sessions with Leslie and lots of options for breakout sessions in between.

Art - Music - Justice Conference
This conference in Falls Church, Virginia invites people to explore "how to use what we've been given by God -- our gifts and our passions -- to seek justice through our life and work." There will also be two concerts over the weekend (Jars of Clay and Sara Groves) and lots of fascinating workshops to attend. There are also two specific workshops for middle and high school girls, one even led by Sara Groves.

Do Hard Things Tour
We know that many of you are already aware of this tour, but the specific dates and cities are now up on the Rebelution's website -- will any of you be attending a conference this year?
-
Festival of Faith and Writing
And while I've never been . . . I've heard wonderful things about Calvin College's Festival of Faith and Writing which is coming up this next week in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Lots of wonderful speakers, writers, workshops, and everything book-related!

Will this summer find you attending any conferences? If you have any links to conferences you'd think others might be interested in, please share!

Until next Monday . . .

grace & peace,

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

Make sure to check out part 1  here !                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Want to make friends in a new country?  Be prepared.  This isn't always easy.  Sometimes you meet someone on the train and instantly, you're buddies.  Sometimes you try and try and nothing happens.  Many things factor in - you're a foreigner, you're different, your first language isn't the same as everyone else around you.  Not only all that but your perspective, worldview, and beliefs are almost guaranteed to be different.   Then there's the fact that you've been shaped by your own culture all these years, so yeah, cultural differences are big as well. All this...and I still live abroad.  Better yet, I  choose  this life!  Sure, there's been plenty of disappointments, confusions, misu

Tales from Taiwan #22

Dear Sisters, Thursday night while I was volunteering at the rescue home, I asked one of my boys, Liam* (name changed) how his summer was.  I expected him to smile and answer with all the fun things he had gotten to do.  Instead Liam sobered and said quietly that his dad had passed away.   The kids who live at this home are rescued from abusive, unhealthy or dangerous situations.  Some are orphans and some have family.  They rarely talk about the family they do have, usually because they've been extremely hurt by them.  But no matter what, I've found that family is still family and more than anything, that's what these kids long for - loving, healthy, safe families.   I told Liam I would be praying for him and his family.  He stopped, looked up at me and asked me if I really would pray for them.  After I reassured him that I really would, he smiled and said he would pray for his family too.  What a moment of beautiful, childlike faith!   Liam's simple "You sai
