... a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee. 

Jesus's mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding as well. When the wine ran out, Jesus's mother told him, "They don't have any wine."

"What has this concern of yours to do with me   woman?" Jesus asked. "My hour has not yet come."

"Do whatever he tells you," his mother told the servants.

John 2:1-5 CSB

Do you have a picture of Mary, Jesus mum?

I'm often stuck with the idea of a teenage girl, pregnant, kind of being tossed around by her circumstances. 

This is 30 years later but Mary is right in the middle of this wedding. Jesus and his crew are in town so they got to go as well. 

But Mary had mana here. 

She got told there was a problem, she enrolled Jesus to fix it, and the team working the wedding followed her instructions.

There's more to Jesus mum. 

It will be interesting to find out what that 30 years was like for her, what her struggles and joys were. 

What the big choices, and the small everyday choices meant to her, & what living with Jesus was like.

We get to live with Jesus in a different way. Will I let him influence my big and small decisions?

He is for me, for us, for you, and wants us to flourish, to grow, to step into life.

So. Step in.
