Set Apart

Set apart. 

There is a really strong truth that God has been working in me (and He ain’t finished yet) that I wanted to share a snippet of with you. You see, I’ve always felt a bit set apart from the main gig. And this quarantine time, though happening for good reason, has accentuated an ache I regrettably feel more often than not of missing out on something. 😔 

What God has been teaching me, though, is His plan for me is His plan…for me. Set apart from the timelines. Set apart from the societal expectations. Set apart FOR His plan to move in and through me just how He desires, when He desires, and with whom He desires. 👏🏼 His plan works because it’s His plan and not mine.

He recently told me, “Mandy, how can you miss out on something if I haven’t given it to you yet?” 🤯 So here I am, trying to see His timing and individualized plan for me as freedom from my own internal fear of missing out.

I may be set apart but I am NOT set aside.

I’m sharing this because someone else needs to hear this tonight too. I’m still working on believing this truth deep down in my heart…but I’m getting there. 🖤
