I hear Mary's thoughts as the individuals we will see in scripture today pretty much did not understand just what God was asking them to do, but they obeyed. I hear Mary's thoughts as the angel approaches her with the message "she is highly favored, she is troubled in her mind and wonders what manner of greeting this is, not to mention it is a angel speaking with her. She hears the message that God wants to use her. I'm wondering if we hear the message that God needs us also.
