Chapter 7
Set Apart for Good
The next year God rewarded Erin by moving her to a new school, even though at first it didnāt feel like a rewardābecause, at her new school, Erin had no friends. Once again, God chose her, just as God chose YOU to beĀ set apartĀ from others,Ā His treasureāwatching from aboveāhigh and safeĀ onĀ Rock.
Thatās why Erin was so excited when she was invited to a classmateās birthday party, anotherĀ narrow gate.Ā Erinās mother dropped her off and as all the girls sat around on the floor, she noticed that the girls were passing something around, giggling. It made Erin feel uncomfortable because the tone of their voices and the look on their faces meant that something wasnāt right. Erin had heard of drugs, but she knew little other than it was something she wanted to stay away from.Ā
SoĀ without opening her mouth, Erin simply got up, walked out the front door, and didnātĀ look back. She didnāt know where she was, but she was sure she was too far from home to walk there. So without any money (and of course back then there were no cell phones), she heard her FBF āForever Best Friendā lead her toĀ turn to the rightĀ and walk down the street towards a busier street, and then she heard someone call out āWait!!!āĀ
Instead ofĀ looking back, Erin began walking faster, not wanting anyone to try to persuade her to go back inside where she knew something wasnāt right. Then the girl began toĀ overtakeĀ her, catching up to her saying, āWhere are you going?ā Erin replied, āI donāt know but I donāt want to be part of whatever is going on back there.ā Then Liesel said, āMe either! Iām going home, do you want to come? I only live two blocks from here.ā
That day Liesel and Erin became close friends and years later when they each got married both of them had a little blonde-haired boyāright at theĀ appointed timeājust like theyĀ dreamedĀ and talked about when they became friends. Having just oneĀ like-mindedĀ friend (who God will choose for you if youĀ ask) was such a blessing. Even though Erin didnāt get to see or talk to Liesel much (because they were only in the same school for one year), it strengthened both of them to remain walking along theĀ narrowĀ path, eachĀ set apart.
Many events happened over the years thatĀ setĀ ErinĀ apart, which we trust God will noĀ doubtĀ lead Erin to share in laterĀ Wise Man 4 His PrinceĀ stories!Ā
We are excited that you are building YOUR life and futureĀ on Rockāwatching from aboveānot enjoying what everyone else is doing but instead being elevated,Ā set apart,Ā andĀ attaining royaltyĀ at theĀ appointed time, for such a time as this!
The more you build your life and future onĀ Rock, the more youāll understand that choosing theĀ narrow roadĀ is a moment-by-moment decision that only happens by holding the hand of your Forever Best Friend who you got to know inĀ Mighty WarriorĀ āCloser than a Brother."
