Reading the gospel of Luke as it recounts the stories of both Elizabeth and Mary carrying babies in their wombs at a time when neither should have been able to be pregnant, I marvel at how both graciously accepted the very unexpected turns in their roads as God’s plan was was revealed and manifested. Am I so in tune with the Holy Spirit as to immediately recognize when an unanticipated change in the course I’d planned is really the road God intended for me all along? Do I joyfully welcome God’s divine hand when it goes against what the world’s expectations?🚦
