And you know, Mary, instead of giving a lot of excuses, saying, can we do this a little bit later?

It's kind of inconvenient, God.

God, I've been waiting for this man a long time.

You don't know, all my girlfriends got the man of their dreams.

I've been waiting for this man a long time.

Mary said...

Be it unto me, as you said.

She literally made a decision that she was going to embrace this seed that God had just planted, the seed of promise, and that she was going to accept it, no matter if it interrupted her plans or not.

No matter how difficult it was, she said, I'm going all the way with God.

And I love that about Mary.

And as I was reading the story about Mary, I just want to get

to some practical things that Mary did.

And I think these things can help us.

We've heard them before, but you know, we think that Mary just had it easy.

Oh, Mary, you know, she, she was chosen by God to have the son of God.

So I'm sure, you know, she had everything she needed.

But can I tell you, it was rough.

It was rough to birth the promise of God.

It was rough to do what God had called her to do.

But God said she was favored and highly blessed.
