Julie Vivas&#8217; illustrations to &#8220;The Nativity&#8221; are beyond exquisite!<\/p>\n<p>and while I&#8217;m being a bit contrary, Chris Muglia&#8217;s song &#8220;Let it be done.&#8221; is so rich.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p>I think there are so many times in my own life, I have NO CLUE what God is doing. I can be frustrated and disappointed and cry, or freeze and break down, or be angry and stubborn. But my best bet is to take a deep sigh and say to God , &#8220;Let it be done.&#8221; however, that is not a &#8220;One and Done&#8221; either&#8230;.. it is something we (I) must say over and over throughout our lives. I just pray that I may have the grace of God to listen, and be open to the message&#8230;. .even when it is not what I want to hear. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Ddjzew0ZRj-k&amp;h=FAQEM50UtAQFrF1cspVs1qREVIHAy9YS_gdFJwRatgmLOzA&amp;enc=AZPROUGoGTEvZbSVE1Y5KUMeLB-wtkdwIrMxX33XqloRPewoVxxYJaIQmRNZU6aTVKaK6M8qr6Qs-JBhHY8ZcUYp5MJsOkkjFAm-dgWXn1ejLzu-OfBUFa6GueS6QfGgz5aj9n9L3pu7uzBjgDvKjqGtn_uepDD0rjKA1k9jKh4YIrbaPOFJP4Uc0GJLxMAy4cA&amp;s=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=djzew0ZRj-k<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/hphotos-xfa1\/v\/t1.0-9\/11055285_10152974181166713_6793738518635357312_n.jpg?oh=62b831509011093568a7a769e26c1790&amp;oe=56EC5A2F\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/hphotos-xaf1\/v\/t1.0-9\/11076280_10152974181186713_5795051546823372515_n.jpg?oh=0229aabc95a4364361fbe1a9c8c8fda7&amp;oe=56B28F06\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/hphotos-xpl1\/v\/t1.0-9\/11083621_10152974181191713_5132783454033367613_n.jpg?oh=0a5c996cb4c9e94b7817e09692972c51&amp;oe=56EB7B93\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/hphotos-xfp1\/t31.0-8\/q83\/s960x960\/10548810_10152974181266713_2686345570569638976_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"339\" height=\"418\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/hphotos-xfa1\/v\/t1.0-9\/11081507_10152974181216713_2838510727002191658_n.jpg?oh=ae5818a062b2733797e2d5454b27eaea&amp;oe=56F9458D\" alt=\"\" width=\"346\" height=\"288\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/hphotos-xfa1\/v\/t1.0-9\/10570439_10152974181161713_284795342607932375_n.jpg?oh=f89f4728a50f4cd2523a3fd5130f784e&amp;oe=56F7E38F\" alt=\"\" width=\"268\" height=\"215\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-264\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/jillmaria.com\/?p=264&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/jillmaria.com\/?p=264&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-264\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/jillmaria.com\/?p=264&amp;share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\"><span>LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-264\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/jillmaria.com\/?p=264&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-264\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/jillmaria.com\/?p=264&amp;share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\"><span>Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/jillmaria.com\/?p=264&amp;share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span>Tumblr<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/jillmaria.com\/?p=264\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\"><span>Print<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-reddit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-reddit sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/jillmaria.com\/?p=264&amp;share=reddit\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Reddit\"><span>Reddit<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we celebrate the Feast of the Annunciation today, I recall making my first profession on this date many years ago.
