I was thinking.. what if the angel came to mary LONG before she became pregnant with the Son of God... what if she had to hold on to these things for a long time before they actually came to pass... and she was in the dark like we so often are....
and here she is.. pondering these things in her heart.. that is how she kept them alive.... that is how she waited on God.. by thinking about all that she believed He had said to her...
many of us would have decided we didn't really hear from God... and let it go... many of us would have decided we didn't even want it.. and let it go... and throughout the bible... mary goes back and forth with acting like Jesus is God's Son.. to acting like He is the same as any other child or son.. sometimes she wants Him to turn water into wine.. other times she can't understand how He knows so much about God... His brother's were the same way... they wanted His gifts used to their advantage.. yet they said things to signify that He was just another man... and who did He think He is...
I think we will all have times when we are so on board with what God has said to us.. and others that we feel like we must have just been taking too much pride in ourselves and surely God would not have said something so large or so important to lowly us...
but if we keep things alive.. by pondering them in our hearts.. when the time is right... God will bring them all to pass... because He is faithful and He is a God who does not lie...
