A light in the dark

Just when I thought I had a bad start to my day. My nasi was almost hangus (not because I don't know how to cook nasi but because I forgot to check on it while I was outside). And then my supposed to be half-boiled egg for breakfast didn't turn out to be the way I wanted it to be. It turned out to be fully boiled instead. So instead of having half-boiled, I had fully-boiled egg for breakfast. And I thought to myself while peeling the egg shell, "baru jua pagi..."

And then my phone rang. The screen showed number I'm not familiar with. Answered the phone and boy, I was speechless after I hung up. I can't describe in words what I was feeling right then. I was happy, scared, thankful, nervous, excited at the same time. It all mixed up together. It was like when I saw a person who I had a crush on. That feeling of seeing that one person you like and you then would get all cold and hot inside. It was like that.

Despite the mixed feeling, praises be to the One Who is The Most High, The Most Powerful. He makes the Most of Excellent Decisions. Whatever it is that He has given me or will give me, I believe it is for my best.

PS: You know that phrase "good things come to people who patiently wait", well guess what? It's true. Patient and not giving up are crucial ingredients to success. You need to have both. Not just one. I know sometimes it's just so hard to remain patient and not give up. When things just go all wrong, and there are all too much for you to take. You feeling all hopeless and unworthy. That is when you need to be EXTRA strong, try EXTRA more, and pray EXTRA hard. Just never lose hope. Allah is always there. Always close. Have faith in Him, and smile (:
