I particularly like this bit because it reminds me that God says yes before I ever do.

[b]The relationship with God grows and deepens[/b] through a constant exchange of “yes” between creature and creator. We cannot always see it; when Mary said “yes” to God, what she received back may not have always seemed like a “yes.” Hearing Simeon’s prophecy; being exiled to Egypt — she might have thought, “Lord, where is your ‘yes’ in all of this danger and difficulty?”
And yet, we know that God answered her “yes” with a profound “yes” of his own, even if she could not know it.
