As salam o alaikum.
Allah sure puts us through all kinds of tests, to make us stronger then before. To stand for yourself more, and to do the right deeds. It is when you go through all of the difficult times only then the world opens up more to you.
We came to USA bout three years back, and just moved to Oklahoma 2 months back, before we were living in ny. Well obviously it's a big change of places, but hopefully we will be adjusting more soon as we start getting involved more with community here.
Moving from Pakistan to USA was a big transition that sure required a lot of time. But we'll we did have a good time in newyork, but life is different from there to here. One of my first cousins live in newyork, but due to being long distances, we could not spend much time together. But Allah helped us a lot and we always found good people along the way. Hubby is a doctor and finishing his residency in newyork. Although it was really difficult to take are of a 8 month old without any family around to support you, but alhamdolillah, all is well in the end
But all through those three years, there were many times when we missed our family a lot. Although we visited them once during that time, but it was a really short span of 15 days.
Now moving in Oklahoma, life is good Masha Allah but these days, I really miss my family. Although I m a pretty friendly person but have a really hard time initiating friendships with anybody, and staying here in the house the whole day since I don't have my driving liscence drives me crazy at times. So unthankful we human beings are, aren't we?...Allah blessed me with such a beautiful house here, two lovely kids and such a good husband, he sure is. And instead of thanking Allah for all these wonderful things in world we carry on about the few hardships he gives us. So from today onwards insha Allah,I will try my most to utilize these precious moments of being home. It's not that I want to work or anything, but I sure do want to be able to take my kids to some recreational places and meet friends or go to masjid when hubby is not around.
