“For nothing will be impossible with God.” Luke 1:37

I can’t do this.

I am doing this.

Both. And.

This is where we live,

where Mary meets us.

And we all cry out together

to the angel and the blinding light,

“How can this be?”


Then comes the reply,

“The spirit of God, my friend,

the spirit of God.”


And we all cry out together,


and we all cry.


Both. And.

I wander around the house these
days, treading water, trying to stay afloat while crunching layers of cheerios
under my feet and endlessly ferrying dirty glass bowls from one room to
another.

 

I tell myself I’m the least
likely candidate to be in charge of what feels like a small daycare.I think to myself, “This is not me.This is not possible.How can I be a mother of four kids?”
