Somethin' About Mary

Something about Mary dawned on me. The angel delivered the mission to Mary, but the angel didn't help Mary deliver the message. I wonder if Mary hoped the angel would accompany her as she set out to explain the supernatural in her? But the angel didn't. So Mary set out, alone. We experience this. God gives us a mission. Yet we find ourselves on it, alone. What is it about Mary? It's her faith, and...

...there is nothing He won't do
THROUGH YOU,
that He doesn't think
YOU CAN'T DO.

Just ask Mary.

I heard Mary Did You Know on Way FM today. And it's so true. Mary didn't know, she was alone and she still went along with God's plans for her. She never resisted. I think there are so may temptations pulling us away from God's plan for us. The DJ said, sometimes God will let us go on "our" plan until it dies out, so that he can have 100% of our focus. Once our plan fizzles out, God's plan is much more clear. Faith, everyday believing in what God has in store for us. HARD, but definately worth the effort. Like a diet, if you mess up, just start again!!! Don't give up.

I cling to the "through you" statement and try to stay focused on what it is He wants from me each day. It takes focus AND faith to stay "in Him" so He can work "through us." I'm sure Mary was scared but I'm so grateful for her courage!
