First Day Reading

Well, it was a challenge for me to get around to reading today, which doesnt bode well for the other 364 days. But, I am glad that I did. As I type, I am procrastinating working on my Final Project for my grad class. I just finished reading the passeges in Luke and John and was encouraged. It seems like no matter how many times I read the line Mary says, I am stunned by it.

"I am the Lord's servant, may it be to me as you have said"

Its simple and beautiful and really difficult for me to say. Why do I always fight to posture myself as His servant? Why does that seem uncomfortable and why do I immediately cringe at the thought of having it "be unto me" as He determines. Gotta believe its a trust thing. I want to trust Him with everything I am. I think I am more owned by fear and "logic" than I want to admit. Mary was awesome to hear what she had just heard (which was something out of left field) and simply respond with "I am the Lord's servant, may it be unto me..."

    My first day is in! Looking forward to a year of this.

    Wanted to add along to your Luke observations, Ronny. I found it interesting that John's father (Zeccheriah), after months of being punished by God, finally has his tongue "released," and the first thing he does is praise God... nothing like "it's about time" or being bitter.

    Just an observation.
