Human Desire, Christ's Birth and God's Good News

I've been getting myself ready to go back to work.  Don't get me wrong.  I love my job.  God made sure I ended up in this profession, no joke... whenever I tried to deviate from His will, he made sure I got back on course.

I must confess that I am not immune to materialist desires.  I am currently putting into motion my 5 year plan... building my dream home... I am no longer certain if I will have children in my future, that's for God to fill in the blanks.  There are days when I wonder if I am fit to be a mother...

Matthew 1:18-25
The Birth of Jesus, the Messiah
This passage is about the miraculous conception of Jesus.  Mary became pregnant, via the Holy Spirit. She was a virgin until Jesus was born.  Because of the cultural disgrace of marrying a pregnant women, especially a woman who was not carrying her man's child, Joseph had every intention of terminating the marriage.  But an angel appeared to Joseph and explained to him that this had to be to ensure that prophecy came true. Joseph did as he was told and married Mary.

Romans 1:8-15
God's Good News
In this passage, Paul explains his desire to spread God's good news about Jesus to all. We are to be a blessing to each other.
