Advent I

Easy enough to promise…
"Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me as you have said."

Until the nausea sets in and the pregnancy begins to show.
Now what?

No wonder Mary took off for her cousin's house. After all, the same angel had said Elizabeth was six months along. Misery loves company/safety in numbers/any cliché in a storm.

But what she found at Elizabeth's was affirmation. Validation. We all could use a little of that when we say yes to God. Especially when we have no clue where that yes will lead.
Wishing you a blessed Advent: full of affirmations and validations for your choices in life.
