Egotistical

I have recently come to realize how huge of an ego I have been living with in all my 27 years of life. It seems to me that I have had it for awhile now and the realization has emerged only just.

I can not claim that the challenges I faced are far worse than what others have encountered but after all that I've been through somehow  I can see a pattern in God's great plan that was created uniquely for me - that is to teach me humility and humbleness.

And no, I have not reach yet that place where I can truly say 'lesson learned!' but I think, well I hope, that a huge part of that ego is broken now.

One can only hope.

Some things are hard to be written into words...

Having a helper - a new experience

My maid landed on our land on our Independence day, 31st August 2013. Alhamdulillah.

Her name is Sharul Bariah. Age: 48 years old.

She was trained about a week at the agent's place. Fetched her 2 days ago on the 7th of September 2013. It feels weird, still is.

Still undecided to proceed with taking her permanently or not. She seems like an honest lady trying to make a living after life threw her an odd curve-ball at an old age. Hopefully she is a blessing for us from Allah.

80% sure of confirming her as permanent. But still have doubts. May Allah guide us in making the right decision.

Bismillah.
