{Gabriel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you! Confused and disturbed, Mary tried to think what the angel could mean. “Don’t be afraid, Mary,” the angel told her, “for you have found favor with God! You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. And he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end!” Mary asked the angel, “But how can this happen? I am a virgin.” The
angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of
the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy,
and he will be called the Son of God. What’s
more, your relative Elizabeth has become pregnant in her old age!
People used to say she was barren, but she has conceived a son and is
now in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.” Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” And then the angel left her.}
- Luke 1:28-38
If Mary could muster up that kind of bravery and be open to the Lord's plan for her life, then what holds me back? Mary is definintely my role model for this upcoming year...let go and TRUST god.
