I texted Jennifer, my wife, today asking her how I ended up here. Two and a half years ago I met Elder Tommy Powell for the first time as I sat in his office at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church completely oblivious to what God had planned.
Yesterday, I sat in the sanctuary of New Birth in Lithonia, Georgia and celebrated Bishop Eddie L. Long’s announcement of Pastor Tommy Powell, the Pastor of the new and soon coming New Birth Augusta.
Two and a half years ago I could not imagine yesterday. I could not imagine being a part of something so exciting, so new, so fresh, so… God.
New Birth Augusta, or NBA as Pastor T is calling the church, is going to be amazing. Yes, Bishop Long and Pastor T are working diligently to make sure the church is all that it can be, but above all, NBA is going to be amazing because God has chosen this time for NBA.
Ecclesiastes 1:11-14
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. 13 That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God. 14I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him.
