The impossible just came possible

"For nothing is impossible with God." Luke1:37

DAY 8- We finish our day in Nazareth and tomorrow we will be heading back to Judea with Mary to visit Elizabeth. Don’t worry, with God there is no back tracking only moving forward.

Mary: Hello all of our sweet brothers and sisters. Can’t you just feel the love of the Lord upon us today?  These last few days we have shared with you what we thought to be impossible but just how possible it all came through the mighty hands of God.

Yesterday Joseph shared his story of guidance and wisdom the Lord had given him through a dream.  Today I want to finish sharing with you the rest of the news I received from Gabriel the angel of the Lord.

Gabriel had just finished telling me the baby to be born would be holy and called the Son of God. He then continued to say, “What’s more, your relative Elizabeth has become pregnant in her old age! People used to say she was barren, but she’s already in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God." (Luke 1:36-37)

There at that moment full of so much emotion I told Gabriel "I am the Lord’s servant, and I am willing to accept whatever he wants. May everything you have said come true." And then he left.

You see for me it was easy, because I loved the Lord with all of my heart, and I knew that by choosing to make myself available to Him I would be used. No, I never expected to be used in such a big way, but I truly felt what my heart poured out. That I was willing to accept whatever He wanted, no matter the outcome. And later on you will hear the outcome of my son’s life.

We hope you leave here each day filled with more knowledge of God than you did the day before. Today we hope you will choose to make yourselves available to the Lord. We pray that your thoughts will be on Him, His work, majesty, and love. We want each story you hear and have heard to bring Him glory and show His indescribable love. Remember this is not about us but about our Heavenly Father.

We will meet back here at our house tomorrow and will head out for Judea.  We have spoken to Zechariah and Elizabeth and they have everything ready for our arrival. May you be completely consumed with Jesus today!
