When Mary said yes to God she said yes to being the mother of Jesus. This was a big deal, because she was agreeing to be the mother of the Savior and taking on that responsibility. Since she was not married yet she was going to have a child out of wedlock and that was frowned upon at that time. If this happened to me I wouldn't believe it. Questions that would pop in my head would be "Why would this happen to me?" "What will I say to my family?" or even "What would people say?" Saying yes to God means putting your faith in him and trusting that everything would be ok and that's what Mary did. I don't know if it was hard for her to do this, because putting all your faith and trust in someone is sometimes impossible. If I can relate this to my everyday life (in a small way) it's a little like putting my trust in everyone and even myself. Because I'm trusting my friends and family that people will be there for me and won't hurt me. I'm trusting myself that I'll make the right choices and not mess up. I just have to trust God that everything will be ok in the end.
