My first published article

Good morning,

Last week I spoke about an opportunity I was given to submit an article for Divas For Christ Sister to Sistahs monthly newsletter. It was a last minute request but I was prepared. (Thank You, Christina Staton for having me ready). I was prepared because my article was actually an oral presentation that I never got to present in class for the leadership and public speaking course that I took during the month of January. I assumed that I would use it for our womens' ministry at church. I never guessed that I would actually have it published in a newsletter.

So today, I am feeling blessed and grateful for the opportunity. I love to write. It gives me a joy and peace to share my ideas and to share my thoughts and feelings. So if you would be so kind, please go to divasfor christ.org and check out the February newsletter. My article is at the end. But guess what? The second half of my article will be in the March issue also!! How Great is Our God!! Sing with me, How Great is our God. All will see, how great, how great is our God.

Peace and blessings,

Peyton
