A Rainbow of Hope~My Short Story


Today was not the best of days.
In fact, the past few weeks have been difficult.
Nothing major, just things.
I've shut myself away at times just to be alone with God.
Still, the clouds seemed to hover over.
Situations that hurt, and left me feeling discouraged, kept me on my knees
You know how it is...
Sometimes the sun is there, but it's hidden behind clouds.


I had entered a short story in a contest, about a month ago.
I'd check my emails everyday to see if I was in the contest.
Nothing.
The end of the first cut and voting ends the first of October.
I figured I hadn't made it, but kept checking.

Today, I checked.
Nothing.
I went online to the contest, figuring I would look at the list, and read some of the stories others had sent in.
I scrolled down page one, and went to page two.
Fourth story down was "A Love Like Ours."
It sounded familiar.
It was my story!

It may have seemed small, but it was a big thing to me.
A rainbow.
A blessing.
It made my day.

This is just the beginning!
Now I need your votes to continue in the contest.
Please go to the following link, read my story, "A Love Like Ours," and cast your vote for it.

God knows when we need a rainbow in our days.
I am grateful.

Thank you for your support!
