Thoughts as I was walking

I was walking the other day around my ward and I was listening to some music on my phone. One of the songs that came up was "Breath of Heaven" by Amy Grant. I really love this song, it makes me think. Something that I thought on this day came to me as I heard the words:

Do you wonder as you watch my face
If a wiser one should have had my place
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me
Breath of Heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
Breath of Heaven


Mary had a specific task to do for Heavenly Father's plan, I'm sure that she wondered if she was equal to it. I don't think that what Heavenly Father has asked me to do equals in importance to what Mary did but I believe that it is important to Heavenly Father that I complete my task. When I think about all of the things that I have experienced or the things that I feel that I have been asked to do, I wonder the same thing. Surely there is someone more capable than me that He could ask to do this job. In the same moment I also know that He has not left me alone to the task and He is ever with me to help me. I don't want anyone to get the idea that I am comparing the things that I have been asked to do with what Heavenly Father asked Mary to do but I can relate to her as one woman to another. If she could rely on Heavenly Father and do that huge thing than surely I can hang on, have faith and do the small daily things that I am asked to do.
