Mary

Almost every little girl dreams of her wedding day. I am sure that no matter the culture the desire to be joined to another and leave the family of origin is scary and exciting all bundled into one. Everything surrounding Jesus' birth was amazing. Imagine what kind of life Mary must have led. She had a perfectly normal life. She was betrothed and probably excitedly waiting the day he came to take her home. Then one night she was visited by an angel and her whole world changed. Joseph was a good and just man. When the angle told her she would conceive she didn't hesitate. She didn't bring up Joseph and what would he think. She didn't bring up the shame a pregnancy would cause her. She trusted God. She was willing to serve Him no matter the cost. God was faithful and worked everything out but she didn't know for sure that He would. she just stepped out in faith. I want to be surrendered like that. I don't want to hesitate no matter the obstacles. I want to trust God with a simple faith just like Mary did.
