Write2Ignite 2014: Snag the Blessings


by Sally Matheny

Author, Edie Melson chats with other writers.

   God’s mercies and miracles misted over the campus of North Greenville University this weekend. As with any conference, a few snags popped up. That’s always a great thing—to have a few unforeseen circumstances—because they provide opportunities to witness God at work.
Ignoring Satan, and trusting God, allows us to snag the blessings.


     God's work was evident throughout the conference. There were stories of perceived "mistakes" actually opening doors to new friendships and opportunities. It’ll be exciting to watch how God continues reworking those “snags,” weaving them into something surprisingly beautiful.

Blessings Abound After Writing Conference

It has been a busy, busy time with the Write2Ignite! Writers’ Conference.  A year of praying and planning has come to completion. Blessings abound.


Joanna Echols and Sally Matheny
God blessed everyone with a great conference. We came away with our hearts inspired by music and encouraging words. In our hands, we carried home a tote bag full of notes, freebies, books—all which will enable us to become better writers. Our minds are full with memories of making new friends and catching up with old ones. Our energy depleted, but our souls filled with the words God has spoken to us during our time at the conference.

While I always learn a great deal at writing conferences, one of my favorite aspects is making new friends. At a Christian conference, the ties that bind us are even sweeter.
I’m sharing a few photos with you this week. Hope you enjoy them and perhaps next year, I’ll see you at Write2Ignite!

Our prayer for Write2Ignite is for every person to hear God speak to them during the conference.
I felt God's presence throughout the conference and witnessed Him working in different
people's lives, including my own.
 
Has God whispered to your heart this week?
 Has He asked you to try something new?
Perhaps you've been asked to move from a nice, cushy spot to a more difficult place.
Maybe He wants you to let go of something old and refresh your grip on Him.
 
I would love to hear how God has spoken to you this past week.
