RAMADHAN REMINDER

Can't believe it's almost the final 10 days of Ramadhan. I won't lie, the first week of Ramadhan feels like forever. Fasting has been a real challenge for me this year. Considering that I'm using a lot of energy to work my brain out, I'm already hungry by noon. I sound like a child fasting - so much for being 25. Pfffttt.

This Ramadhan had taught me a lot about rizq and the power of Du'a. Well frankly, I've learned a lot about it since the beginning of this year.

"Indeed, your Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts" (Al Israa, verse 30)

If He wants us to have it now, then He will make sure we'll have it. Otherwise, He definitely has better plans for us, better rizq awaiting in the future. Sometimes He gave what we want and need in different forms - not as what we wished. Sometimes He will take away what we had, and replace it with something else, something better for sure. It's our job to always trust Him and always be grateful for what He has given.

I'm very thankful for what have I achieved though it has only been halfway through 2017. No, I haven't finished my thesis yet. Still struggling though. Broke down when I heard that my cousin who's also pursuing master has completed his and will be graduating in July. Then I talked myself out of it that it's his rizq and mine is still on its way. Patience, extra work and Du'a is all I need.

Mama always reminds me that we always have to be grateful for whatever we have. Whenever we fill like it's not enough, believe that He'll grant you with something more and better.

I recently - and by recently I meant earlier this year - met someone who reminds me that Allah rizq is everywhere. He reminded me that when it's time, Allah will extend His provision. We'll have to always keep praying.

"Bila ktk dah ready, InshaaAllah, Allah akan turunkan rezeki ya..... cuma yang beza nya cepat atau lambat..... Ingat jak apa yang kitak buat nektok mok latih ktk jadi somebody or preparation ktk before ktk dapat something. InshaaAllah. Jangan lupak berdoa jwak"

Thank you. :)

This is not a Thanksgiving post but a reminder to me and perhaps us to always be thankful, always be grateful for everything.

I've been wanting to talk about this for quite sometimes but my brain and hand just won't sync. Hence, the very late blog update.

So til my next post!

In case, I won't be writing again until Raya, SELAMAT HARI RAYA! MAAF ZAHIR BATIN KOSONG KOSONG K?
