Many things can be said about the Kyleigh Holcomb who left a small town in Oklahoma to obey in blind faith and desperation join the World Race Gap Year for 9 months and I’m grateful and amazed that many of those things are not said now, by those around me or I.
Who was called selfish has been claimed as selfless.
Who was greedy has been claimed as generous.
Who was considered hateful has been claimed as kind and loving.
As my World Race ends, and I continue on my journey to know and worship Jesus Christ with my whole life, I have claimed what I now better understand and can most fully embrace, my transformation into a new creation. What I knew of God before the Race and Who I know Him to be now were radically different; and I have radically changed because I know Who it is I worship instead of what. I know why it is I worship instead of why not (hell). Over the course of the Race I’ve grown into a deeper relationship with my Author and Creator and it’s changed who I am. I’m no longer the dead girl (to sin and shame), but I am made alive in Christ and empowered/inspired to devote all that I have and am and ever will be or do to Him. And that’s enough. And that’s what He wants. ??
I can’t say much more than that without beating a dead horse but I will say I entered the World Race as a slave to sin and I’m finishing it as an heir to the King of King’s kingdom and rein forevermore. Amen.
