The "Heroes series" prompted me to think about my own heroes, both Biblical and around me.
I was talking to someone a couple of days ago, and he mentioned one of my heroes from the Bible: the Samaritan woman, better known as the woman at the well... He talked about a few different theological aspects of this story, but all I could think about was what must have been going through her mind while she was talking to Jesus.
Here is a woman, who woke up that morning and went to her daily activities, not knowing that her life would be dramatically changed by one encounter. When she talked about worshiping on the mountain versus worshiping in Jerusalem, it reminded me of all the times I have a prayed for a miraculous sign or some kind of divine answer. Instead, the answer was often given to me through a friend, or a smile, an encouraging word, a phone call... I love when that happens!
I wish I knew her name...
