"In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country."
Luke 1:39

A young girl has just found out that she is pregnant... by God. She sets out in haste. Was she fleeing her family? Did she go alone? Was the journey difficult?
Where would you go in such a situation? Who could you turn to if God did something so unexpected and confusing in your life? Would someone be able to turn to you? I suppose that is a more important question. For God seems to act in extraordinary ways in the lives of young people. And so often we are unwilling to see and hear. We don't want our comfortable lives challenged by their passion and fearlessness. If Mary shows up at your door this Christmas, will you let her in?
