What has come out here and other studies that I lead in our women’s group is Mary’s fiat, her yes. It is her trust in what is to be. I never really thought about it before, for a girl or young woman in that age to be told she would become pregnant without being with man could have met her death, but she said yes. It is an example to me on how to trust the Lord without question. It has taken me years to learn this.
