One day God sat with thousands of tiny flowers that could never survive on their own. He mused and considered as he touched the tiny petals wondering what to do next. He lifted two of the flowers and saw their stems sticking together. In a flurry of imagination God began gathering the flowers together and attaching them to the stems he had set aside as individual stems for the individual flowers, now they were packed with flower clusters. God pulled the flower cluster close and found pleasure in the scent of the combined flowers. Then he attached the cluster to another cluster and another until he had a bush, then he smiled because it was good.
‘Just like these flowers need each other to survive, so do my children. I hope they see this bush and get the message.’ God smiled and sent the lilac to us.

I am a young woman who grew up in British Columbia. In BC was all I ever wanted; I had my poodle (Max) and all my friends, Saturdays at the Vancouver Aquarium and Sunday afternoons at one of my favorite beaches it was paradise. But God had a different plan for my life and my dad's job landed us in Alberta and now where I remain, in small town Souris Manitoba. The transitions from paradise to prairie were difficult and I will admit that now 10 years later I still refer to home as Abbotsford BC. Through this crazy pathway trek across Canada I have had one true constant, God; and though none of it was easy, everything that has happened in my life has formed in me a true lasting friendship with the one I call Immanuel. Because no matter how far from home we are God is with us, and thanks to God I have found an almost completely over looked beauty in Manitoba. If you open your eyes you will see that God has planted wondrous things everywhere you go.
