Searching for the one...finding balance!

The other day I was just laying down not really wanting to do anything when my sister calls me and she says: " Omg I just sent you a link to this girl's story you have to read it!!", so I did. The story was like a modern day Muslim fairytale! I couldn't stop reading and I really couldn't believe it was a true story. I loved how raw and honest the girl writing the story is and giving all the details us girls love to know haha. My curiosity came to play when she asked a rhetorical question :"Why was it that older folks always lectured young teens and adults that the only way to get your mind off of things like boys was to be more involved in religious stuff?" I don't know why this stood out to me but it got me thinking, why is it? Then I remembered one of my favorite ayahs :
"Truly, it is by the Remembrance of Allah that hearts find rest." [Qur'an, 13.28]
This ayah explains it, plain and simple! When a girl is so caught up in a guy which isn't unusual or with anything else like friends, family, school, work and so on remembering Allah is the solution to all that. Why you ask? Because we get so busy and occupied  that we loose balance and when that happens you begin to freak out and eventually feel lost.
"He has set up the Balance" [Qur'an, 55.5]
So if Allah is the One who sets up balance, then finding balance and regaining it is also with Allah.
For me this story gave me hope and enlightenment as well. You can find a guy that fulfills all your expectations and even more! But you must have PATIENCE! Insha'allah I will cover Patience in this matter in another post. Insha'allah you will also enjoy reading this beautiful story as much as I did.If you'd like to read the story for yourself (a completely halal love story) click here and don't forget to comment and let me know what you think. Peace Out! :)
