Waiting

I could have sworn I saw the New Jerusalem
Coming down in all her glory
But it was only the way the shadows
Filled their territory
-Pat Terry. Film at eleven

The Jews have been waiting for the New Jerusalem for a very long time. The funny thing is, so have we. We Christians have been waiting for the New Jerusalem to come ever since we met the Messiah. Each day Jesus does not return is painful in waiting because we desire something so great that this earth can never compare. But a New Jerusalem or anything else would be nothing without Jesus. We await His coming in longing anticipation.

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.
