The story of Mary and Elizabeth (Luke 1:39-45) has always intrigued me. We read of two women who in our eyes are pretty much ordinary and unknown. Yet to God, they were extraordinary women called to do something very ordinary (to Him). God brought both of them together -
Both women were pregnant,
- Mary was young...Elizabeth was old,
- Mary was to give birth to the One who would be The Way...Eliz
abeth was to give birth to the one who would prepare The Way,
- Mary would face disgrace because of her pregnancy...Elizabeth felt her 'disgrace was taken away'
Elizabeth was older, and so a little further on in her journey. She was given the opportunity to influence Mary during this season in her life. Mary was about to give birth to God (as crazy as that sounds)...and yet she was not alone - she had her Elizabeth. Inspired by this story, we have set up a community and a space to provide mentorship and influence. You are welcome whether you have a faith or no faith, young or old, whatever your relationship status etc...our aim is to help influence and cheer you on, by covering everyday issues such as leadership, work, parenting etc. We also want to say that MEN ARE WELCOME! Our team includes male contributors. We invite you to like the page and join our community. The relationship between Mary and Elizabeth lives on today - through you and me, when we are given any opportunity to influence others. Resources to follow...
