    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. :)

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 random acts of kindnes…

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, misunderstandings, letdowns, frustrations and bad days.  But Jesus uses all of those - and more - to mold me more like Himself.  It's in that day getting lost all morning or those 60 minutes spent trying to communicate with the clerk about …

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 must come to an end.Don’t get me wrong.B…
