I got a letter yesterday from the Church Magazines. The article that I submitted has been selected for "possible use in a future issue" of the New Era. Devin keeps telling me not to get my hopes up because of the word "possible." But I can't help but be excited that they didn't just say "NO!" "Possible" is way better than "NO!" Everyone that I have talked to says it could take YEARS for things to ever show up in the magazine. Maybe in 5 to 10 years there will be an article called "Checking for Messages" written by Julie Ann Baldwin that appears in the New Era. But for now I don't feel rejected. I might even be brave enough to submit another story.

Good job!!!!! i am excited to read it when it is is published!
I'm excited for you Julie! I knew you were a "kindred spirit" :)
Possible IS better than a no. Congratulations! Yes, keep writing and submitting. Your chances will be better for a YES. I remember asking my dad things and if he said MAYBE, I was thrilled! Just like "POSSIBLE!"
I am so glad that you sent it in. I thought it was wonderful. You do have a very special talent for writing and I hope this will inspire you to continue!
That is awesome! congrats.
I'm going to "possibly" read it.
That is sooo completely AWESOME!!! Good for you for even submitting it! I know that can be a huge step in and of itself! ;)
That is so cool. Let us all know when it's published so we can read it or better yet, you can post it on your blog or give us copies so we can read it now.
