What are you waiting for

I have never done so much waiting in my life. In a not so quick summary, i left the home at 4pm, took bus 106 from the wrong side to apparently as i thought Botanical Gardens, and reached the gates at 7pm. The waiting was terrible, dreadful, devasting. Besides the fact that i took the bus from the wrong side (dejavuish from the race, shudders), there was a jam all the way till sunctec (IT fair summons great gallons of people sufficient for a revolt), the bus didn't make a loop (so i had to drop in the middle of nowhere and run walk to Esplanade bus stop), yeah that pretty much made up 2 hours. Sighs! Let me gloss over how pretty Botanical Gardens has become, i actually like it even though its engineered, yes i will go back there despite the current trauma associated with it. So at 8pm, i thought we were going home and all's well and fine. Except that we exited into an unknown dark gloomy stretch of road that had no bus stops. After walking for about 20 mins, there was finally a bus stop civilisation. We sat down, waited, waited and waited, for a bus that must have been running on anything but petrol. Even the bus to Johor Bahru came twice! So within that 25 mins, we threatened to call the bus manager, beat someone up, and throttle the bus driver when he comes.

One of the hardest things in life is waiting. Everyone hates waiting, that's why you see people dashing across the road or flaring up in a long queue. We wait for the green man to flash, we wait in a long toilet queue, we wait for the lecturer to stop speaking, we wait for food to be served, and the list goes on. But it's so important to wait, because only when you wait then you can see God act. God desires us to wait upon Him, something thats so out of our human tendency, but by waiting we grow in recognizing His sovereignty.

Psalm 27:14 "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."

Thank You Lord for teaching me the importance of waiting upon You. There are many things that I can only wait..., and hope in You :)

Very beautiful gazebo there (yao cong taught me this name and i heard a kid yelling it out) but i just checked the dictionary and they wrote gazebo is a summer house with a wide view, hmm...
