Currently, I’m going through a transition period and because of that, I’ve been struggling with questions of why, when, and how? At church on Sunday, I was reminded of Mary, the mother of Jesus and her willingness to be a servant of God. Mary was chosen to bring Jesus into the world. She was a virgin engaged to be married to Joseph. She could have been stoned or even loss her soon to be husband, and what would people think of her?
