A few months ago, I submitted something to the Ensign and they accepted it! They're even paying me a little. AAAAHHH!!! The article started a few years ago as a journal entry and then morphed into a Relief Society lesson and finally into a talk. I don't know when it will be published yet and they said, "Not all materials can be scheduled for immediate publication; some will be schedule in future months or years according to editorial needs." So stay tuned, but in the mean time, here it is in its pre-Ensign-edited form. Special thanks to MAV, Nathan O, Jeffrey N, and Bro Knowles for their editing assistance!
And here is the published article! It came out in the October 2009 issue of the Ensign. www.lds.org

Jenny-Sue!! I loved it! What a powerful message and so well written! I love so many of the talks you quoted and some I have never heard and they were so good! I can't wait to read it when it comes out!!! (:
Oh Jen. You are such a powerful force for good. I love you, cherish your example, and am grateful to be in your world.
Congratulations! This is a great article. It's going to do a lot of good for a lot of people.
Jen, I just happened upon your blog and read your talk/article. It is great, I loved your ideas and how you organized them. Your ideas apply to so many different people I know and apply in such different ways. I hope school is going well and that you are enjoying life.
I wanted to let you know that your Ensign article was quoted by my RS teacher in Nashville last Sunday. And I'd like to point out that we get Ensigns every month with many articles, but only the ones that really have an impact (or are authored by phrophets and apostles) make it to the RS lesson. You are amazing! -Erika (and Justin says congratulations too)
