So often in Catholic art and literature Mother Mary is portrayed as so holy, so perfectly God-like that saying yes to God thru the angel Gabriel was a snap, easy. I like, agree with you and find hope and encouragement in your portrayal of Mother Mary as having misgivings, questions, not fully grasping it all and having truly human feelings. Yet in spite of it all she said yes trusting as Paul later on said "All things work together for good for those who love God"!
Mary's yes to God is always inspiring, and gives me hope.
