It has been a hectic week and Alhamdulillah, we are ending the month with accomplishments. I am very grateful to Allah for answering my prayers now that my concerns are being resolved one by one. It really feels great.
One of my prayers had been to be able to see my niece Sofia again. She arrived here on August 3. Alhamdulillah!
Getting my passport thus fulfilling the first step of my visa application for the US last August 13. Alhamdulillah!
Most importantly, Duston's second phase of his visa application is already in process last August 29. Alhamdulillah! This is the one that really concerned me the most and felt anxious about.
But in the end one must realize that you just have to let go of your worries and leave the rest to Allah for He has a much better way of things and the Knowledge of perfect timing for everything. I know for a fact that we have done what we needed to do but there are certain things that are beyond our capacity already. But having those particular things taken cared of already. I feel so much easier right now. We have been advised that it will take the whole of September to complete the final phase of the processing and insha Allah, Duston will finally get his visa and we can move easily towards the next phase of our activities and such. Allahu Akbar! Nothing is impossible with Allah. We only have to be patient for waiting itself is a mere test for all of us. Alhamdulillah!
There has also been a revival from my old freelance voice work and I've already done two recordings for radio ads just this month. Not bad, huh? Alhamdulillah! At least in some way this will help augment our budget and stuff. Yes, our funds are in the low but we are very grateful for whatever convenience we are experiencing still. It is just a matter of perspective. I am glad that limited funds will be our only concern for the both of us because money can always be earned and found. Money is everywhere. It's advertised everyday. You can't miss it.
We are not having other forms of difficulties like terrible emotional or psychological or physical troubles. For this I am extremely grateful. We have each other and that's what matters. Remain steadfast and know that being together for the right reasons is one of our ways of worshipping Allah.
As we are about to enter the blessed month of Ramadhan, I'd like to reflect on all the challenges we have faced and still being together after all those times. Finding comfort in each other and believing in one another that we will survive the odds, insha Allah. None of which would have been remotely possible without Allah's guidance and blessings.
May Allah grant us strength and time to make this another memorable Ramadhan that would help us spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. A blessed Ramadhan to all my brothers and sisters in Islam.
