one month already :)

Today marks the day I moved out one month ago :) Alhamdulillah its been so nice to be on my own living my life how I want! I do have to say its been so busy at my apartment that I never have a chance to feel lonely! Alhamdulillah thats great! And it has only rained once since I have lived here and it was when Alyssa and Nicole where with me;) it was beautiful watching the rain come down in the pool ;)

Since I have moved out I feel so happy and at peace with my decision. The financial burden I have is a bit scary but Inshallah I have learned to make it through. Alhamdulillah I have a job that provides enough money for me to be able to afford all the things I need and a little of the things I want.

I have learned during this month that cooking is a great stress reliever and I am getting better at cooking things. Each weekend I strive to make something different so I can have a great array of meals to select from; especially when I settle down and have kids one day, Inshallah soon.

Life is good; I cant deny it! I feel very blessed and very happy. I owe all my happiness and blessings to Allah! I will never be able to express my love and gratitude for coming into Islam; its been life changing for me. I really start to feel like where I am in my life right now is where I am suppose to be.

Moving out has made me a more confident women and helped me establish my home in a more Islamic way. I am so free in my own place and that is very exciting! I have really become more mature; but dont get me wrong I still have my kid at heart side!

Inshallah I am planning my housewarming party soon.
Assalaamu Alaikum!

Mind ~

My Kaba'a
my Mind

Around which rotate
Words of the divine,

Making me intoxicated
As if it were wine.

This love of mine,
Who occupies my soul & mind,

With thought so fine
Of the hereafter
With its rivers of honey and wine

Words as if people rotating,
Around my mind,

Like a prayer in kind
Of a miraculous find
My mind - an honored gift from the divine,
To know...the divine.

I like the lyrics to this song

SNOW PATROL LYRICS

"Chasing Cars"

We'll do it all

Everything

On our own

We don't need

Anything

Or anyone

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know

How to say

How I feel

Those three words

Are said too much

They're not enough

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time

Chasing cars

Around our heads

I need your grace

To remind me

To find my own

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am

All that I ever was

Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where

Confused about how as well

Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
