Joseph went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. Luke 2:5 NIV<\/em><\/p>\n

"Come, Thou long-expected Jesus” says the Christmas hymn, and usually when I hear it, I think of how long the people had waited for their Messiah. But no one could have waited for Jesus’ birth with more anticipation than Mary.<\/p>\n

It’s been a while, but I remember what it was like to be pregnant. Nine months to ponder questions that can’t be answered until the baby arrives; the same kinds of questions Mary might have asked. Am I truly prepared? How will this baby change my life? It all came back to me when a young co-worker was pregnant, with some new concern or question every day.<\/p>\n

One day she was telling Jeanne, the most experienced mother in our office, that she wished the waiting didn’t have to take so long. “Think of it as a gift,” Jeanne said. “God gives you nine months to get comfortable with the idea that your life is never going to be the same!” That’s a decidedly uncomfortable—but accurate—thought.<\/p>\n

Advent provides a similar opportunity: four weeks to ponder what Jesus coming into the world means to me. Christmas is one day of excitement and joy, as is the day of a baby’s birth—a rush of emotions that passes in a blur. But Advent brings time to consider how the birth of this baby will change my life. Can my faith grow stronger? Can I truly become more like Him? Each year, the season of Advent gives me a fresh opportunity to welcome Jesus and think about how I can be changed because of Him.<\/p>\n

Loving Jesus, although I think of You now as a baby, You have the full-grown power to change me. Use this time of Advent to prepare my heart for Your arrival.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
