    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!

The Easter Story

      I will start this article off with a link to the true story of Easter. One I know you have probably heard many times. The Easter story is one of the most important truths in the Bible, but often we almost skim through it. We don't take the time to really think about the significance of the sacrifice and the glory of the Resurrection. We have heard the same story preached time and time again to the point that it seems to be old hat. "Sure, Jesus died so I could live forever. Blah. Blah. Blah. Big deal. I'd rather be reading about one of those awesome Old Testament battles." That may be taking it a little far, but there is some truth to it. We don't, and never will, truly comprehend the greatness of what Christ did on the cross. He conquered death, all sin, and Satan himself. Let's read the truth of Easter according to John.  Click here to read John 18-20. This tells of the physical torment Christ went through. I can hardly imagine having to suffer

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
