Set apart from my mother's womb, called me through His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son to me that I might preach.--Galatians 1:15-16.The story you are about to read is one of how God used a cheap little maiden "claiming" colt to bring honor to Himself. It is also a story of how He revealed Himself to those whose lives were connected to the colt. It is a story of lives touched, prayers answered, and God's saving grace. A reflection of God using this colt to show His awesome presence in the daily life of two trainers, two jockeys, an owner, and myself. (What I was to this colt is still an unknown to me, yet the lessons I learned from this experience were, are, and always will be a blessing to me.)This is a story about a dark bay colt named Pluie's Stock by Pluie's Sylvester and about how God used him to uncover truths about Himself. Pluie is a plain but honest horse. He does not have a valuable pedigree, as you can see from his sire, a son of Verbatim. His breeding fame is linked to his dam, an unaccomplished daughter by Key to the Mint, the winner of the racing's hallowed Eclipse Award, American champion, three-year-old male (1972). Pluie, however, did not yet have racing credentials of significance himself. When he arrived in Texas, Pluie had a 0 for 6 race record, his best effort being a second-place finish going a mile.Racing in Faith is also a story about forgiveness and restoration when two friends, caught off guard from what was supposed to be a blessed event that turned into one of agony. But God, in His loving covenant to His faithful, straightened out the crooked road yielding a partnership between the friends and lifting up the team around Pluie's Stock. God can use the unusual to reveal Himself to His children. Psalm 72:18 reminds us "the God of Israel who alone works wonders." It is a story of how a minute and thirty-nine seconds transformed my life, affirmed God's love of me, and gave me an unending desire to help others know God.As you read of Pluie's races, defeats, and triumphs, you will see God at work. When you read of other's doubts, suspicions, and criticisms of Pluie's care and racing career, you will see how dramatically God intercedes in our daily affairs. This is a simple yet profound story of God, His sovereignty, His majesty, His love, His mercies, His provision, His sufficiency, His blessings, and His desires for each of us.It is my deepest prayer that you will get a glimpse of the magnificence of God as you read Pluie's story. I suspect if you read this story with an open heart, God will manifest Himself to you too.
