Hi all,
I have been MIA for most of the recent months but I missed you all! How is everyone doing? I hope every one of you is feeling great and is enjoying this beautiful day!
The reason I was absent was due to some major problems in my personal life. I probably had some of the hardest weeks I had but now I started seeing all these weeks in a different light, which is what I want to talk about today.
I had the major issue about five weeks ago. The first two weeks were full of sadness and crying. I did not complain but I was sad. Really sad. Then, I started pulling it back together a bit, but not much. Then, it slowly started getting better and right now, I think I am in a good headspace. This allowed me to see what I went through in…

To Write or not to Write and What to Write 
Thank you for sharing!!… I think life puts challenges before us to help us prepare for the next challenge.. “One cannot cherish success unless one has known failure, one cannot cherish happiness unless one has known sorrow, one cannot cherish love unless one has known heartache.” (Larry “Dutch” Woller)… that life is preparing us for the moment yet to come and the key is the heart… 🙂
Perhaps Marilyn Monroe said it best; “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together”… (Marilyn Monroe)… 🙂
The heart will go on and until we meet again…
May flowers always line your path
and sunshine light your way,
May songbirds serenade your
every step along the way,
May a rainbow run beside you
in a sky that’s always blue,
And may happiness fill your heart
each day your whole life through.
(Irish Saying)

really nice quotes here! They reflect the truth. I think I find it difficult to actually apply this at times but that is the ideal approach and I hope I am learning.

i have no doubt that you are learning because you are here, and you are no doubt stronger… the universe knows I am not into religion but I believe there is a saying “God promised you a safe landing, he did not say the journey would be a smooth one”…. 🙂

I read your post through the link you provided, but unfortunately, for whatever reason, either technical or something else, I wasn’t able to reply on the post because when I tried to like amd comment, the page just appeared blank white. I wish I could show you a screenshot of it.
your post was very touching, and is one which I can relate to it because recently I went through a very difficult time—I actually mean very difficult—It was something I never expected to happen, and even the few people whom I trusted in were nowhere to be found… miraculously, someone whom I just got to know within a few days, was the one who ended up saving me: he is GOD-sent until today…. I will never forget this experience because it is nothing short of a miracle; that’s all I can call it.
now, back to your statements informing readers or inquiring about why we have to go through hardship: personally, I’ve always thought about this over the years and still wonder until today why it is so…being someone who is from a Christian background amd believes so much in the invisible almighty GOD, I feel there is a purpose for hardships and challenges, a purpose that we might never completely discover while we are alive… I know about the stories of Abraham, the Israelites, Job, Jesus etc., I see the trend: even though they were blessed, they had their fair share of disappointments… Jesus who said we can move mountains even asked GOD why GOD has neglected him… from my own experience, I’ve noticed that each time I’ve had hardship, especially terrible hardship, I either learn lessons of life, grow spiritually, or strengthen my relationship with GOD—I say this from experience…Iike in my last experience, which I briefly hinted about here, in which GOD sent someone who is not from my country, race, and background, and is older than me, I realized that my relationship with GOD only got stronger than it had ever been before… honestly, my faith in GOD grew by some great ans surprising size
So coupled with many of my past setbacks, I believe that if we take each challenge and hardship in good faith, they can only lead us to progress…once we immediately recognize any hardship, especially if our slates are clean, we should take them positively and believe that all things, challenging and unchallenging, good and bad, will work together for our good

I wonder what the technical problem is:( It should work, normally.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful comment. I am not Christian; I am a Muslim. I am familiar with the stories you mentioned and same goes with Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) too. It was not easy for any of them. There is also a famous Quranic verse that says “So, surely with hardship comes ease” (Quran 94:5)”. This points to something similar. It is best to see it like that and power through it and see it as a way of connection with God. But I am not perfect and I fail to see it this way at times. But later, after the fact, I start seeing the blessings in it. I hope one day, I will see the blessings as I go through them.

Initially, I was using the WordPress.com app she when I clicked on the link, then a page (with your link on top) opened on my browser, but the page was blank, and it happened again when I attempted to open it. later after I had replied on this page, I tried opening the link through the browser, and found out that the page didn’t appear blank, and so I just decided to reply there again since that was what I had initially planned on doing
Amen: I pray you see and experience the blessings… if we don’t experience them and see the blessings in them, then it will be difficult to believe in them, by merely reading them… even with the experience and sight of the blessings, sometimes it takes the grace and power of GOD to help us out… it’s not always easy… thanks
