The Beginning

I remember when I first heard that there was a possibility of a church plant taking place in Atlanta, GA. I was like, “man please. There no way in the world that Dhati is leaving Denton!” However, I was wrong. It’s hilarious because now I’m one of the committed...ready to embark on another phase of my life and I have no idea as to how it’s going to look. Exciting right? Or petrifying? I guess it depends on how you look at it.
There’s one thing that really stuck with me after our first Atlanta interest meeting that I really chewed on and it has continued to keep me encouraged. Dhati said that “we are dumb enough to think that God can change the world through us.” I wondered if maybe that was true. Maybe God could actually use us as vessels to change the world. Ever since then I’ve felt that way. As if we could possibly be “dumb” enough to think that. Yes, I don’t know Atlanta, the lingo, what stores sell the best fried chicken, or what streets to avoid when it’s dark. I don’t know where I’m going to work, how I’m going to pay bills or any of that, but what has really been keeping me is the possibility of what God do and His capabilities to do so. How amazing would it be if we had a chance to be a part of a revolutionary movement for the sake of Christ? I wonder, sometimes, if that is enough to allow me to dive into uncertainty? I don’t know, but for now that’s all I need. No clue as to what I’m getting myself into, but that Christ is sovereign, that he is enough comfort, or it could just be that I’m dumb enough to believe it?
