I spent some time in Virginia with some gap year friends over the break. As I woke up, laying on Gabe’s floor, I asked God what word He had for me this year. The night before, NYE, I had reminisced about last year and how it was SO different than I could’ve imagined. Right now, I could be completing my last semester of high school, or who knows what. Instead, I was sleeping on the floor of someone I had only met a few months prior.
As I looked back on this year I was reminded of Covid, ending my senior year early, fearing the health of my loved ones, graduation spread across my whole football field for social distancing, watching all my friends go back to school fearing that I possibly made the wrong decision, packing up for gap year, crying in my tent the first night because it had just gotten so, so real, and so many tiny details. I realized that I spent so much of my 2020 living with the spirit of fear. I lived with it for so long that its presence became normal. Fear is literally a tool that the devil uses to distract us from God’s goodness and what He is trying to do in our lives.
As I asked God for my word, He whispered, “fearless”. I said “let me ask again, I don’t think that was for me…” so I asked again, getting the same response over and over and over. So this year, 2021, I am coming at you fearless. I will not allow fear to distract me from the good things God has in store for me. I want to invite you into a fearless 2021, not because nothing will be scary, but because we know Who is in control.
With that being said, I leave South Carolina today to go back to Gainesville and then to COSTA RICA on Friday!! Right now, I ask that you pray for fast covid test results for me, no fear or anxiety as we take another step in this journey, and that Gap D is ready to change every heart we encounter!
ALL THE LOVE,
Kaylin 🙂
