A prayer by Kate Bowler

With eyes glued to screens and fingers scrolling endlessly, smartphones are gradually eroding the core of human interaction. What was once face-to-face conversations are now a series of texts, emojis, and voice notes.
Many young people feel more comfortable sending a message than making a phone call, let alone having a real-life conversation.
In the last issue of Bloom we looked at the importance of practicing active listening. In this issue we continue the topic of communication by addressing the importance of presence and face-to-face connection.
We've gathered some of the best articles in our 30 years of ministry. These articles cover issues commonly faced by women who have been uprooted by a move. Topics include making new friends, moving with kids, your emotions, self-care, regaining your sense of identity, marriage, and more!
Susan answers some of the most common questions about the impact of a move on emotions, marriage, family, loneliness, and cross-cultural moves.
September through May we feature an After the Boxes are Unpacked study group. These groups that are meeting virtually and in-person are offering friendship, connection, and the path to emotional well-being and spiritual growth for women who have been uprooted by a move. Check out this month's Spotlight!
