Brio Magazine

-
Hi, Mary here! 

I am here to talk about something that has helped me get through my teen years. When my mom was a teen, she got Brio magazines. A few years ago, as she was sorting through her things she found them- she kept most of them. This is a Christian magazine that has a monthly subscription. The content applies to Christian female teens and is fun while being encouraging as well. I searched a few months ago- Brio actually stopped making magazines in like 2005, but they started them again. So, last Christmas I decided to pay for a year of new magazines and I am so glad I did!

They have facebook if you want to check it out: https://www.facebook.com/briomagazine/.

If you want to order your own copy, you can get it here: https://www.focusonthefamily.com/parenting/brio-magazine/.

The content contains things such as:
-monthly calendars with important holidays
-bible journaling tips and devotions
-full page encouraging quotes and verses
-ask the doctor tips
-Plugged-In reviews of popular movies, songs, or books from a Christian POV
-fashion tips
-interviews with famous singers/actors
-interviews from real-live Christian girls with different types of jobs
-personal quizzes ex: what you expect in a friend, what kind of babysitter you are, how 'green' you are, or what your serving style is like
-Creative Corner: where you find photos, quotes, and art from other Brio readers

They also have more content, but it varies in each issue. In their new magazines (that is a combo of two months) has 75 pages. They used to have one issue a month, and they had about 35 pages.


You should check it out!

Gone, But Not Forgotten

-
 Hello, y'all! I feel like I always begin my blog posts with something along the lines of "long time no see'" and it is really sad to continue with this pattern. I could list a ton of excuses. Firstly, I could mention that I am now in college. Secondly, I could mention that I am working three jobs. Thirdly, I could mention that our Bible Study group has kind of fallen apart for a few reasons which I will not get all into detail about now. Fourthly, I could talk about how I do not even use Skype anymore. Fifthly, I could mention that I am personally still out there creating content on my own personal accounts.  But, here I am. Here I am making a post on a group blog account. Here I am allowing all of the audience to see that while we are gone, we are not forgotten. No, we could be forgotten about by literally every soul. But, I will not forget. During the years that I was a part of this group, I treasured every moment. It brought me joy to be a part of such a community...

Long Time No See

-
Wow, it has been a while since we have said anything here, huh? I was just taking the time to look over the blog this morning and I noticed that all of our actual "Newsletters" that we posted here were from 2019. That seems like such a long time ago. We have not posted on this blog since April of 2020. That means it has been almost a year since this blog has been regularly used.  Many of our viewers, like you, probably like that we just forgot about it, right? Like we got so busy in our regular lives that we forgot to make time to blog. Or, we were so busy in our Bible Study that we forgot we had a blog, so while there was so much that was content-worthy, there was nothing that we posted because we can't post on something we do not know exists. Sadly, neither of those are true. But, the first is the closest.  About this time last year, our group was going through some things emotionally, but once we got that all under control life got chaotic. The irony of this situation ...

YouVersion Bible App

-
Hi, Mary here! I know this is an unusual post, but I really want to talk about this app. YouVersion is a bible app if you can't tell by the title. YouVersion allows you to see what your friends have done with the app, what bible studies they are doing, and some notes they have taken if they allow you to see it. This encourages me because I like to see that I am not the only one reading my bible or learning from it. YouVersion rewards you for using the app whether from highlighting, reading the whole bible, or using there bible study suggestions. As Sabine knows, points and badges, even if they don't mean anything or aren't tangible, it motivates me. YouVersion is free and works offline. This is not rare for a bible app, but what is different about this one is because you can download every version of the bible that you want when you have internet, so you could use it when you go offline. I had a previous app that allowed you to do that with a limit. You had to pay for...
