As much as we make plans for our lives, we cannot determine how life unfolds.
And as life unfolds moment by moment, we will have to make changes to our plans accordingly.
It is also futile to fret when there are changes to our plans and there is also pointless to resist the changes.
But with faith, we will be able to accept the changes and let God reveal His plans for us.
Mary may have her plans changed at the Annunciation and she may not have planned or intended to visit her kinswoman Elizabeth.
But when she heard from the angel that Elizabeth was in her sixth month of pregnancy, she set out and went as quickly as she could to see her.
Elizabeth wasn't expecting anyone to be with her or to be able to understand her extraordinary pregnancy.
But she would be pleasantly surprised by the visit from Mary, who was also in her early stages of pregnancy.
Both women found comfort and understanding in each other because they accepted to go along with God's plan.
So when there are unexpected changes in our own plans, let us trust that there will be pleasant surprises and revelations from God.
When we say that we want to do God's will, then let us also be prepared to accept changes to our plans in life.
God's plan for us is always for our good and we will also rejoice at the wonders and marvels He will do for us when we follow His plan.
