AMIN TO ALL YOUR PRAYERS
Sometimes in life you tend to forget the little things that God has given in your life, that makes it more meaningful. You take for granted. You forget that you had asked from Him months or even years ago but tend to forget to utter a simple word "Alhamdulillah" when you get it. I asked years ago, for my life to be showered with much love, I got it. Alhamdulillah.
Forgive me Allah...Astaghfirullah. He only gives what He knows is best for you. Earlier today, a colleague's comments made me look back on what God has given me. (Usually an unexpected comment from an unexpected person serves as a wake up call) Her comments reminded me of what I had prayed for all this while, came true...bit by bit. I had prayed for a career advancement, I got it. I asked for a pay raise, I got it too. And I asked for a driving licence, I got it too. Alhamdullillah...Syukran Ya Allah. Hafiz is so right, "Be patient, pray hard. It's just a matter of time."
Never be afraid to ask from Him. Cos in due time, He will shower you, even in better packages. I used to think that I might have asked too much. But nothing is too much for Him.
I am so fortunate to be surrounded by a crazy bunch of colleagues, who appreciate me for who I am and care for me. When I tot my birthday was yesterday's story, my colleagues at another office (where I had a meeting) surprised me, walking in the room with a Swensen's ice-cream cake complete with their own rendition of a birthday song. Sweet! Thank you Abg Azman, Hamidah, Reza, Lily, Akbar, Hamdan, Noraine, Kak Leili, Noreen, Harni, Kak Mar & Masjuani for the surprise cake and card. It felt like the first few days when I started working...like they still dote on me, like a little sister (though I'm not the littlest anymore!) I think I almost teared.
I received lots of prayers from my dear friends and colleagues this year. I am so touched. I dunno how many times I said "Insya'Allah, Amin, thanks for your prayers" these 2 days. You guys dunno how much your prayers mean to me. Those are wonderful gifts, cos God listens to you and InsyaAllah, lebih termakbul.
To my dear friends, I am sorry if I have ever taken you for granted.
