Sometimes Delays in Our Writing Dreams Lead to Stunning Results

by Edie Melson @EdieMelson

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Ephesians 3:20 - 21 ESV)

I was in Florida for the FLORIDA CHRISTIAN WRITER'S CONFERENCE several years ago. One of my favorite things—outside of all the writing related-blessings—is getting up to take sunrise pictures. I'm never alone for sunrise, there are always a good-sized group of us who enjoy starting the day this way.

On this particular morning there was a big cloud bank, just above the horizon, blocking the area where the sun would come up. We hoped there would be pretty sun rays even though we wouldn't be able to see the sun come up--or maybe even some beautiful colors in the clouds.
