Its a sunny Saturday morning. The older girls are playing in the living room. I'm writing this from our bedroom while the little one watches on. We had a morning of cleaning, singing and dancing to nasheeds, hot chocolate and coffee and cleaning. I started full time teaching just over two months ago. I had no plans to, but circumstances called for it. I was scared of stepping into this because I felt like I was already at capacity with my energy - with three kids at home (one still breastfed) and my weekend commitments.
I started to practise a few things from the sunnah and I can see a visible difference in my energy.
“Keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah.” (Sahih Tirdmidhi)
I started to busy myself with dhikr whenever I have found a dip in energy or I felt out of depth (and this has happened many times over the past two months). This is a reminder to myself to continue this.
We have had some other tests crop up on us. The only way to get through life and these tests is to build spiritual resilience. The way to build spiritual resilience is through prayer and dhikr.
I've been meaning to keep writing the book. And to keep developing our travel blog. Hasn't happened, but one can hope that it will, someday.
