answered prayers

frankly, i never put on so much hoped to my prayers (do'a), although I did it a lot. It's not like I don't believe it at all, it's just, I guess, I just don't want to put on hope. (it goes in circle..lol)

and then I had always know that a good prayer comes with good hardwork. You can pray all you want, but if you don't work for it, miracles don't happen. At least not for everyone...

So to the case of my beloved brother, it was a good combination of hardwork, and heaps of prayers. We (my family members), had almost give up with any hope of him to be admitted to a boarding school. I sent at least 7 applications to 7 schools - no answer, he went to at least 3 schools to apply directly - no answer, I called the school - all I got was some rude answers. And my brother was very very depressed with the situation..when eventually, the letter came.

He was admitted to a school, and at this moment, he was already in the school.

My point it, when prayers were answered, and when your hardwork were paid, it feels like all your miseries had gone away, replaced by some thick mist of happiness.

And it's sweet.

I wish my brothers, both of them, best of luck in their future undertakings.
