There is a Bible character I have always admired from afar. Over time, she became more than someone I simply knew about. From the day I held the lifeless body of my 16-year-old daughter, Abigail, in my arms, she felt suddenly real, present, close, and deeply understanding. 

In that moment of grief, she seemed to silently hold my hands and cheer me on. She is Mary, the mother of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I invite you to walk with me through this series exploring her life: Identity, Submission, Purpose, Discipleship, Offering, and Grief.
