    I sort of have a problem with the other way around... :-(

    Yes, I like the actual message of the quote, but it's not well worded at all.

    Frankly, I just want to be honest. I want to make sure "Bloom" doesn't become "Gloom", or, worse, "Doom". Sorry if I am like a party pooper this week. Maybe next week will be better.

    Overall, however, Bloom is very helpful.

    Hey Alex,

    Thanks for your honest comments.

    The whole point of the quote is to simply provide something to make you think and examine your walk with the Lord. It's definitely not about "doom" or "gloom".

    And for sure, no worries about Bloom! becoming "Gloom" or "Doom".

    No way.

    We'll always, always, always be about God's love to us, wretched sinners who have been saved by God's grace through faith.

    And that sure is worth celebrating this Christmas!

    Just wanted to pop in and say, Merry Christmas all! And I'm positive 'Bloom' will never be 'Gloom', haha. Every post causes me to pause and reflect, and lifts my heart on high. And that's the ultimate!

How a Journey of 8,000 Miles Changed Me, part 2

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

Summer Opportunities

Does summer always seem to fly by for you?  It's hard to believe that it's already mid April and school will be letting out soon.   For me, summertime always seems to speed by and the next thing I know, autumn is around the corner.   So this summer, I want to encourage you to take advantage of the extra  free time that often comes along with the season.  While it's wonderful to be able to do things you enjoy like swimming, painting, or reading, don't let your activities rule your summer.  Take some time to share God's love in a powerful way by serving others.  You have the time, so get involved!  The following is a list of opportunities to consider:   ~ get involved in Vacation Bible School ~ help out in your local church ~ go on a mission trip (if you're looking for a longer term mission trip for 11 months, check out VOICE Missions !) ~ visit the elderly in a nursing home ~ help family and friends - clean the house, babysit, prepare a picnic ~ do rando
