Breathe. Live. Pray.

Happy Ramadan!

Its day 9... I'm a bit late, but Ramadan Mubarak!

Ask me why I'm still awake at 5:30 am on this ever-so-quiet Wednesday morning. 

Well, since you asked....

I often ponder where life is headed.. What will my next steps be?  Do I want to study further?  Do I want to find a job doing XYZ?  What do I see myself doing 20 years from now?  The questions really don't stop.  I can churn my mind, left and right, with question after question.  The problem is.... I never get an answer.

Nope.

I can keep asking.  I can keep wondering.  But the fact of the matter is, only time will yield a solution. 

I bring this up during this beautiful month.  I'm realizing, I have no control over my destiny.  I haven't the slightest clue as to where this day will take me.  Will I even live to see tonight's crescent moon cast its glow upon the city's sleepers? 

And this is where I begin to realize... Just give it up, Hibah.  Life is too beautiful for worries and questions. 

And so, let this day commence with a sweet fast. 

May we all grow in our spiritual strength.  And may we pray to God for protection and guidance in this heavenly world. 

Stop the questions.  Breathe.  Live.  Pray.

Be well.

Hibah
