patience…so not my thing.
I have been learning a huge lesson lately…patience. If you know me at all, you will know I am NOT a patient person. If I want something to happen, I do it. If I want to get something, I buy it. If I want to do something, I go and do it…I am a do-er, I do not like to wait. Why do I tell you this? Because Chris and I are in a huge period of waiting.
We have had LOTS of conversations with people in the past few months asking them to be a part of Resonate and only 1 couple tell us they are definitely on board to be a part of core. (core: a group of people we are gathering to form the foundation and ideas of the church.) Do you know how much that kills me as a non-patient person?! We are pouring our hearts out asking people to be a part of this and hearing…nothing. In my mind I imagined: we ask, they pray about it, then they give us an answer a few weeks later (minutes would be cool too. 
) . I am not even asking for all yes’s, just answers. (note: this is not a blog post to get any of you who have been asked to give us an answer, just me sharing where I am! 
) So, right now, it’s us and 1 other couple forging forward to start this church when we start meeting in January…and that is SCARY but also really exciting. Exciting because I fully trust that God is working in the hearts of the people who are going to be on this core team, and I am excited to see who they are…I just want them to hurry up and be seen!
I know God is trying to teach both Chris and I something in this period of waiting. Asking us to FULLY trust in Him and not taking this the easiest thing we have ever done. We HAVE to rely on Him and trust Him in this time…this could be a pretty screwed up church if we don’t fully rely on Him to make it happen. So, that’s where I am: sitting, waiting, listening, praying and being patient (er….trying).
Could you pray for us? Pray for patience. Pray for peace. Pray for leaders to step up to join us in RADICALLY changing the city of Atlanta.
