Celebrating Great Feedback to Story Query!

Great News! My Story Query Got a Green Light!

Yesterday, it was put in my heart to finally hit "send" on an email of a story query I had sitting in draft for quite a while and.... drum roll ... God's timing is perfect! I am sooo excited!
From the looks of the reply to my email, it looks like my email ended up in their spam folder, but God somehow got it found! 
I really need to work on my story query subject lines- apparently email programs do not like"Inspirational Story Query" and the tag [Spam} was attached to the front of my subject line!
Here is the lovely email I received from Marvene at The Adventist:
screen shot of Query Response email Text reads:Dear Suzanne, Please do not hesitate to send in your story. It grabbed my attention from the first line. Your material would be passed on to the editors through our evaluation process where a determination would be made. I am looking forward to hearing from you.  Sincerely, Marvene Thorpe-Baptiste Editorial Assessment Coordinator
Green Light to Send Story!
