My first post in 5 weeks.So far this is the longest I have ever taken to update my blog. Im currently a freshman in a medical course- radiography to be more specific. I'm still learning to adjust to the life of a student even though I have been studying the last two years. Theres something tranquil, magical yet realistic about Islamic studies. Its not that the medical field isn't beneficial or realistic but my mind and soul hasn't really felt content with what I've been doing. I felt like giving up to some extent, not that I would give up to anything this quickly but thats how I felt. I needed some sort of inspiration. Anything to life my spirit. Give me that extra nudge that I so desperately needed. As I sit on the grass, among fellow students, staff and patients I see this familiar face.Well not familiar as in Hey ..... I know you , long time no see. No, its familiar as in Asalaamu alaikum dear sister. Subhaanallah the sight of a hijaabster lifted the suffocating air filled space that surrounded me. I saw this sister from a distance our eyes partially met but seeing her....a hijaabster, happily walking proudly made me realize that this is an opportunity that Allah swt has given me. He chose me out of thousand of applicants and His plan is always the best plan even when it doesn't look that way. I have no idea how and why she had that affect on me but she did. In this strange way she reminded me of why I started blogging and where I needed to turn to to see familiar faces and draw encouragement from, along with my non stop duas. All I needed to do was continue blogging. Continue following and eagerly awaiting post updates from fellow bloggers. They gave me this vision of what a muslim female could achieve in a tiring world without compromising her religion. Rather using her religion to guide her, aid her in achieving her dreams.
To My Sisters In Islam
Thank you, all of you, for placing the fragments of glass together and painting a picture for me to look at whenever I feel that Im drowning.
