    J'essaie de lire la Bible quotidiennement, mais ce n'est pas toujours évident de se motiver! :(

    Le site www.Bible1An.com m'aide, mais les différences de fuseaux horaires me mélangent un peu…

    Et vous, les filles, lisez-vous la Bible quotidiennement? Utilisez-vous une ressource "lire la Bible en 1 an", ou préférez-vous lire à votre rhythme?

    Hey Alex, I use this program for reading through the Bible in the year: four chapters in the old testament, one chapter in the new testament, every day. But- God has recently been altering my perspective as to how to read the Bible. I use the program as my outline, so I've got readings going in both old and new testament, but I don't hold to that like concrete. I once heard the Bible described as an ocean: You can skim over the surface, in a hurry just to get across. Or you can take your time, and delve below, and search for the pearls beneath, and find treasure. This quote quite sums it up!
    Sorry I don't respond in french- I'd be here awhile. :)

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

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

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
