My dream + the girl with eggs...

Do you ever have something that you want so badly that you pray so intensely, so strongly every day???

And that something is nothing that you can work to have it.. You can't do anything about it other than just pray and pray and pray....

And then the thing you want just seem to never come your way.. So you just wait and wait and wait....

I do..

I have one wish that I don't know where it is heading this time around... A dream in which only Allah can decide whether I can have it or not~

Sometimes.. I lose patience.. At times the waiting seem to be distressing and heart breaking.. Until I found this sweet story... Now I feel embarassed for losing my patience...

The story is short and simple..

It's about a little girl whose imagination and curiosity are at their peaks.. Her family owned a farm and she love to wander around and discover new things there.. So one day she found some chicken eggs laid in the barn..

She asked her mother "What are these??"

"These are chicken eggs my dear. These are where the chicks are going to hatch from.. So when the time comes, the cute chicks will come out of these eggs"

The little girl was intrigued by the new information.. From there onwards, she went to visit the eggs every day and wait for the eggs to hatch... She waited and waited and waited.. One day, she got tired of waiting...

She thought "Why is it so hard for the chicks to come out..? I think I'll just help them out by cracking the shells"

She was about to crack the eggs when her mother called out from behind

"what are you doing dear?"

"I'm trying to help the chicks out from the eggs.." she replied in her utmost innocent voice..

Then her mother explained with a smile..

"My dear, you have to be patient. For the chicks to come out, we will have to wait until they are ready to hatch. Not by smashing them..."

What can you get from this simple story?? Well, I'll tell you my perspective in relation to my prayer-dependent dream...

What will happen if the girl smash the eggs??? Without doubt, she won't have the chance to see the chicks at all.. Only the sticky yolk and the transparent part (Don't know what people call them~ haha) would come out.

Thus... In my case.. I'll have to be patient and not do anything irrational to haste things up.. In my case.. I've to be persistent in my prayer.. And then wait... Allah knows better than me~ When the time is right.. I will see and enjoy the fruit of my persistence and patience.. Maybe, He'll give me more than what I've just wished and prayed for.. InshaAllah~ When the time is right, He'll grant me what I asked Him.. And I'm sure it'll be just nice~ and blissful

And I think this does not only apply to this one particular dream of mine only.. But in everything.. Including in search for a soul-mate.. haha yeah mention that because I'm currently pressured by questions about marriage.. hehehe
