Today we commemorate Mary's Birthday, a reminder that, like all of us, Mary started out as a baby. Up to the time she was 12 or 13, she probably lived a very ordinary life. And then, Boom, an angel showed up, Mary said "yes" and everything changed forever.
God is like that. You can be going along enjoying your rather ordinary life and all of a sudden, God throws a wrench in the plans. God sends us on a mission or sends us a new set of challenging circumstances that will in some way help make us a better person. We have to believe that we too are called to say "yes" to whatever it is God is asking from us today. God knows what is best for us. We need to let go and trust.
