Mary when Jesus was born: treasured up all these things and ponder them in her heart - Luke 2:19
Mary when Jesus was in the temple: his mother treasured all these things in her heart - Luke 2:51
At her darkest hour, she does not lose heart - this is maybe why

A way of seizing what God is speaking to you = journaling
Journals chronicle journeys

Some examples of these treasures from the author:

• The story continues - we are headed somewhere; bad times = the story has taken a tragic turn
• It can't be done - I can not arrange for life I prize - this frees our hearts
• It is coming - The life I prize is coming, what I am aching for now, but it is coming
• Battle and journey - We are at war; watch your heart; Don't just let anything in

Key Phrase: At her darkest hour, Mary used her treasures to not lose heart
