Every Genesis starts with a decision.
Before there is growth, before there is clarity, there is a moment where everything familiar is placed on the line.
For Gabriel, that moment came in 2020.
To leave behind a life he had built, one marked by stability, connection, and a sense of abundance, was not something taken lightly. Yet in the face of a deeply personal conviction, he chose obedience. His decision to reject the Covid-19 vaccination carried real consequences. It meant stepping away from his workplace, navigating social restriction, and facing the loss of normalcy within his community.
With friendships, freedom, and security in the balance, Gabriel still moved forward.
Not because it was easy. Not because the outcome was clear. But because he trusted that the same God who created the heavens and the earth would also make a way for him.
This was the beginning.
Not a perfect beginning. Not a comfortable one. But a true one.
This piece, In The Beginning, draws from Genesis 1:1. It represents the first step into the unknown. The moment where faith is no longer an idea, but an action.
It is the point where you choose to move, even when you cannot yet see what lies ahead.
Every Genesis carries this moment.
The quiet decision that changes everything.
