We ended 2011 at Relevant with a bang! Concluding our Redefined series last night,
Ryan wrapped up the year with the idea that the size of your story depends on the size of your God.
He retold the story of an angel appearing to Mary to inform her that she would have a child- not just any child, but the Son of Man. Now many of us have heard this story multiple times before, but how many of us have really looked at Mary's response? Instead of protesting, or asking God if there were any other way to handle this situation, she simply said, "I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." -Luke 1:38.
Mary knew she was just one small piece of a giant puzzle. She didn't let her own wants get in the way of the God's huge plan for her.
What if instead of questioning God in the times we are uncomfortable or unhappy with a situation, we simply trusted that God was working out our place in the grand scheme of our lives?
Merry Christmas! We'll see you in 2012!
