Queue..

Not an unusual sight in Singapore.

Singaporeans queue for all sort of things under the sun... the Mac hello kitty dolls.. choice housing units... placings for primary one registration... auditions for Singapore Idol... concert tickets for the best seats... registration for modules for subject registration...etc

Surface Glance :: Different reasons to spend their time in queue... Yet there is one similarity ~~ the desire to obtain/ acheive what they queued for drives them to forgo what they could have done in the time standing in the queue!

I'm no stranger to queuing.. remembered the time (just after prelims) whereby i took a cab back after school ends at 130+ from tanjong rhu to bedok, changed and took a cab back to SIS at ard 3, simply to queue for the best place to stand in the free standing area. Rushed like mad cuz I wanna be as close as possible to the stage.. (ha. that was when take that first came here .. the one and only time.. and yes..I was way crazy over these brit bands.. haa..imagined wall plastered top to bottom with posters.. eh.. shall not go into that here..) and queuing hrs for the kitty doll... going across island in search of the safari pooh..

Why? Cuz I want to be as front as possible .. I want to catch a glimpse of mark owen.. I want the cutesy millennium kitty (which by the way has relegated in the obscure corner in the cupboard, nope i don't really like kitty, just that it marked yr 200).. bottomline is : the passion towards the object drove me to queue..

Some people might feel that it is utterly ridiculous to spend precious time in queue. Question : if it's worth your time, and you want it bad, would you not do it? If you want something that badly, you would sacrifice to obtain that in return right?

yes, time = life. Each second that passes cannot be relived. Yet, I would gladly traded in the seconds of life spent queuing to be in the main auditorium for conferences/ services, or to be seated as front as possible cuz Yes, I want to be as near to His Presence, His Anointing as possible.. I just want to draw more.. Cuz without God, there will not be me.

yes.. it's not just the physical drawing alone .. but what true in the natural runs parrallel spiritually (& vice versa). Nope, I'm not in my teens, hence, down with the notion that only youth can spare the time!!! Yes, I do want free time to do what i want.. YET i want God more.. Yes, it's the same front or back, yes the same Source.. but why settle for good if you can have best.. (else why parents queue overnight to get their child to the TOP primary schools? why would you spend hours in queue to registered for your modules? when you could just take whatever slots available.. since it's the same subject right? the students would be shaking their heads.. cuz yes, it matters!! )

man express his love not silently.. but by actions. love is not silent. love is not passive. love is active!

I queue not because I have to, but i want to. I need not and would not be influenced by those that want to settle for good when I want the best.. I will still go for the best...

kiki, thanks for standing in the gap! God sees what you're doing! Let's influence them!! (:

comtemplating not to blog this here but elsewhere... decided to blog here in the end...
