Happy Friday, sweet readers! Can you believe we're a month into the new year already? We sure can't! We pray that God blesses you in this new year!

Now, without further ado - a menagerie of encouraging, fun, and absolutely inspiring links:

Sermon Index is an awesome site where you can download and listen to sermons by A.W. Tozer and many others.

Most of us are still working on those New Year resolutions; here's a link to spur you on in your daily walk with Him. The 5 O'clock Club encourages us to wake early to spend time with our Savior. Come on and join!

Check out TobyMac's new song about giving God the glory "Steal My Show". What an encourager "Live Like That" by Sanctus Real is.

Last, but not least read Katie Davis' (author of "Kisses from Katie") blog!

In His love,
Joanna, Megan, Krista, Emily & Victoria

    My sister was given 'Eye On It' CD by TobyMac and I love that song, Steal My Show. It's a bit of an earworm, and it is so true. It's great to hear a raw song like this by a popular Christian artist; it really shows his heart.

    I think Live Like That is actually by Sidewalk Prophets. I haven't listened to the song, but I would love to listen to more of their music. How 'rocky' is it?

    God bless you!

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
