LightHusband has been telling me for years to write.  He kept encouraging me when it fell on deaf ears and I did not believe him, or perhaps I couldn’t.

A couple of years ago I found out about blogging and found little bits of courage here and there.  I found that regular practice fed the spring and set my imagination free.

Tonight I got word that I’ve been published for real.  I was asked for a submission and had an actual deadline and well, everything.  And my piece was selected among other submissions for publication.  All of which means … I have more work to do practicing and polishing and learning.  But, I am encouraged and thrilled and … well … happy down in my soul.

So you can read the June issue of Porpoise Diving Life to see my piece and read other wonderful pieces to on women in ministry, all written by some fabulous women writers and bloggers.  There is also an interview with Rose Swetmen and some book and music reviews.  My piece is called The Mirror and it’s a short story.   But go read the whole issue, all of it is good.
