My story is published in the 2024 Christmas edition of Grace Publisher’s Divine Moments series! It was a long wait but worth it.
I joined the Bartlett Christian Writers group in January 2020. Yup, right before the pandemic hit and shut everything down. Once we began meeting again, our group created a challenge – to submit a story to the Devine Moments series. I submitted my story in November 2022 and eagerly awaited feedback. This was the first story I submitted to anyone, outside of scientific publications.
In June 2024, I learned that my story was accepted for the Christmas edition and even inspired the title of the book. The last line of my story: A gift of love.
Over the moon excitement! I couldn’t wait to see the final book and hold it in my hands! See my happy face?

After cheering on my friends as they did their book reveals, I anticipated the opportunity to do the same. A bit nervous, I set up my phone and did my best! I think it went pretty well for a first time. This is a learning process! I hope you enjoy the video!
