for all seasons, there are reasons.


One time, I was in my backyard talking to a man who was helping me with my landscaping. It was the middle of winter and the grass was very brown. It looked as if it was totally dead. I commented to the man about how bad the grass looked and how dead it was. He said, "Well, Feriel, it doesn't look very good now but the truth is the grass is not dead, it's just not in season. In the springtime, this same grass will be just as lush and green as it can be." Sure enough, just a few months later that same brown, dry grass was a gorgeous bright green, filled with life and vitality.

I've found that life works the same way. Sometimes our circumstances look dead. It may look like a dream is dead, a relationship is dead, or a promise is dead. But you have to realize it may just be that it's not in season. It may be that it'll come back around in a new season. We can't give up just because things don't look the way we want them to in the season we are in. We have to dig our heels in and look with our eyes of faith to the new season that is on the horizon.

What am I saying? Just because something looks dead, don't write it off. Our Allah is a God of new beginnings. When we go through disappointments or setbacks, instead of getting down and discouraged or giving up, choose to have the attitude, "Even though it doesn't look good, I know the truth. It's not really dead; it's just not in season. I'm in springtime, but I know summertime is coming. So I'm going to lift up my head and get ready for the new things Allah is about to do." Friend, if you'll keep that attitude of faith you will receive strength to make it through to the next season and it won't be long until those dreams and desires will flourish in every area of your life!

All that is hidden in the heavens and the earth lies within the power of Allah. To Him are all matters referred for judgment. So do serve Him, and place in Him all your trust. Your Lord is not heedless of what you do. (11:123)

A constant reader of this blog might come to realize that whenever I come home, I'll have this habit to watched and read all my fav stuff over and over again. I mean I watched prince of tennis all 178 ep not include the ova and all dah berpuluh2 kali, I read Syud's several times sampai boleh hafal the dialogue, I watched P&P hundredth time and fall for Darcy over and over again. So this time? I decided to watch honey and clover. Well, again! And again, I'm falling in love. I really do love this anime eh? Sad and lonely, and have this sense of bitter-sweet. I watch the Hagu+Morita and I do wonder, whether they do love each other or they just attracted to each other 'cos they are kind of similar. 'Cos we, people, we tend to like someone yg kita rs similar dgn diri kita sendiri kan? But is it really a good thing? I mean same pieces of puzzles never fit each other. And for another love story, the Nomiya-Yamada-Mayama-Rika-Harada; well, they kind of in a straight li...
