Are you able to trust God when His plan seems absurd? Or do you begin scrambling trying to bargain a bit in hopes God might change His mind and go with your idea? Oh, how I long to be more like Mary, the mother of Jesus.
The words right of her mouth were, “I am the Lord’s servant,” “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Luke 1:38
If you long to be more like Mary, you will love our featured post this week by Tammy Kennington. She points out, “the answer is simpler than one might imagine.” It wasn’t just Mary’s response – it was the attitude behind it.

Thank you for hosting a wonderful link-up. Maree
I never would have imagined my life the way it’s turned out so far…but I’m learning that God’s plan is way better than mine–even if it doesn’t make sense at the time.
Anita, Oh my goodness the truth in your statement was just what I needed to hear tonight. I too never would have imagined my life the way it is. However, today I was struggling with the truth that God’s way is better. Thank you!!! Maree
Wonderful post to feature. I think we all could strive to be more like Mary!
Laure – I agree Mary is a great example. Maree
