bumping into Jesus...

Then the woman left her water jar and went back to the city.

John 4:28

Jesus interrupts our lives. He has a knack for doing this. Right when we are in the middle of living our lives, doing things that we have deemed important - maybe even essential - Jesus shows up. we had no expectation to find Him here. we were just trying to get by. nonetheless, He shows up. we had come looking for the ordinary, and we find the extraordinary. we find what really sustains... what really gives life.

and if we are smart, we leave behind what we were doing. we drop our plans, our expectations, and we allow the one who controls the universe to have control over our lives. we allow our lives to be rearranged... re-prioritized. then, we run to the masses to share the Good News.

cheers,
