I got my first rejection!

Isn’t it wonderful? I hope they are all this affirming!

“Dear Helen,

Thank you for submitting your article “Joyfully Wise” to P31 Woman. We are honored to be entrusted with your writing. Your article was well-written, interesting and informative. I had never heard of IJM and the work that they do. I think it would be a good fit in a missions type publication. However, I’m sorry to say your article does not meet our publication’s needs at this time. Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to review your work. May God continue to bless you as you write for Him.”
