Kyla yavukiye kandi akurira mu muryango wa gikristo muri Canada mu myaka ya za 1980. Akiri muto cyane yakundaga Yesu kandi akamwizera mu buryo bworoheje nk’ubw’umwana. Ariko ubuzima bwe bwaje guhura n’ibigeragezo bikomeye hakiri kare.

Akiri muto cyane, hagati y’imyaka itatu n’ine, yahuye n’ihohoterwa ryamukozeho cyane. Nubwo byahagaritswe vuba n’umubyeyi we, ingaruka zabyo zasigaye mu mutima we. Nyuma yaho yatangiye kugira urujijo ku bijyanye n’uko yiyumva ku gitsina cye, nubwo yabwirwaga ko ari umukobwa.

Mu mikurire ye, yakundaga ibintu by’abahungu—imikino, ubuzima bwo hanze, n’imyitwarire y’abahungu—bityo akumva ashaka kumera nk’umuhungu. Uru rujijo rwakomeje gukura, rugera aho rumera nk’indwara yo kutiyumva mu gitsina yavukanye. Yatangiye no gukururwa n’abandi bagore, ibintu byamuzaniraga ipfunwe n’agahinda.

Mu gihe kimwe n’ibi bibazo, umuryango wabo warasenyutse ababyeyi be baratandukana, bituma ubuzima bwe burushaho gusharira. Akiri umwangavu, yatangiye no kumva ko atakisanga mu rugo rwa se, ibintu byamusigiye ububabare bukomeye.

Yiyeguriye umukino wa "ice hockey", awugira ishingiro ry’ubuzima bwe kugeza anageze ku rwego rwo gukinira ikipe yabigize umwuga. Ariko nubwo yageragezaga kwiyubaka, ubuzima bwe bwakomeje kujya mu manga.

Ku myaka 19 yatangiye kwishora mu nzoga, ubuzima bwo kwishimisha birenze urugero n’imibanire itarambye. Uko byari bimeze, kwizera Imana kwe kwagiye kugabanuka.

Yaje kujya mu kigo gifasha abantu kureka ibiyobyabwenge gishingiye ku bukristo, hamufasha kureka inzoga. Ariko ibibazo byo kutiyumva nk’umukobwa no gukururwa n’ab’igitsina kimwe ntibyigeze bimuvaho. Mu gushaka igisubizo, yafashe icyemezo gikomeye cyo guhindura igitsina, ava ku kuba umugore ajya kuba umugabo.

Nyuma y’imyaka ibiri akoresheje imiti ihindura imisemburo ndetse akora n’ibindi bikorwa byo guhindura umubiri, yatangiye kubaho nk’umugabo witwa Brycen. Yatekerezaga ko azabona amahoro n’umunezero, ariko ibyo ntiyigeze abibona. Nubwo yahinduye isura y’inyuma, umutima we wakomeje kuba ufite ibikomere.

Nyuma y’imyaka irenga itanu abayeho muri ubwo buzima, yagarutse mu rusengero ku bw’impamvu atasobanuraga neza. Aho ni ho yahuriye n’umugore witwa Jess, umugore w’umupasiteri, wamwakiriye mu rukundo n’ubugwaneza budasanzwe.

Binyuze kuri Jess n’umugabo we BJ, yatangiye kongera kwegera abantu b’ukuri bafite umutima wa gikristo, bituma atangira kongera gutekereza ku buzima bwe.

Nyuma y’igihe, yabashije kubabwira ukuri ku buzima bwe—ko yavutse ari Kyla ariko akaba yarahinduye akitwa Brycen. Yakiriwe neza, nta gucirwaho iteka, ahubwo ahabwa urukundo n’icyizere.

Yatangiye kongera gusoma Bibiliya no gushaka kumva icyo Imana imuvugaho. Yaje gusobanukirwa amagambo agaragaza ko Imana yaremye umuntu mu buryo bwihariye, umugabo n’umugore, buri wese afite umwanya we.

Umunsi umwe, mu ijoro riremereye cyane, ari wenyine, yasenze asaba Imana kumwereka ukuri. Muri ako kanya, yumvise mu mutima we ijwi rimubwira riti: “Garuka kuri njye, Kyla.”

Kyla

Iryo zina yari yarariretse ryamugarukiye nk’ikimenyetso cy’uko Imana imwita uko yamuremye. Nubwo byari bigoye kubyakira, yemeye kwizera Imana. Yiyemeje gusubira ku buzima bwe bw’umwimerere, nubwo byasabaga urugendo rukomeye rw’impinduka.

Yabanye na Jess na BJ mu gihe cy’umwaka, mu rugendo rwo kongera kwiyubaka mu mutima, mu bitekerezo no mu mubiri. Byari urugendo rutoroshye, ariko rwaranzwe n’urukundo, ubufasha n’icyizere.

Uyu munsi, Kyla avuga ko yabonye amahoro y’ukuri muri Yesu Kristo. Nubwo akiri mu rugendo rw’ubuzima rufite iminsi igoye n’iyoroheje, yemera ko guhitamo Imana ari cyo cyemezo cyiza yafashe. Ati: “Ndi Kyla, nasubijweho.”

Kyla Gillespie ni we washinze umuryango witwa Renewed & Transformed, ufasha abantu gusobanukirwa ukwizera, igitsina, n’umwirondoro wabo, akaba ari n’umwanditsi w’igitabo TransFormed.
