been praying more

I have been praying more since my last post, Alhumdilillah. I don't like writing I haven't been praying, or not just doing it, it makes me feel guilty and like I haven't even made one step of effort. I want to be someone who practices what she believes. It's not just words, and I feel like it means nothing if I'm not willing to do anything. I have a long ways to go, but at least I'm taking a step there.

lots of reading, no prayer

The past few days I have been reading up a storm and getting a lot out of it, it seems. But I haven't been praying. Ug. I need to get to it. Walk the walk, not just think about it.

how it's going

I got busy with things and haven't been keeping up with reading the Qur'an as much as I was or would like to, wasn't praying as much, just been inconsistent. My faith has still be there but didn't feel as strong... I didn't like all this, it's not where I want to be with things. I want to be growing. Yesterday I got back into reading the Qur'an and am back to rereading Reclaim Your Heart again as well. That is helping. I want to get back to praying more as well. I feel like I need this better connection with Allah. I guess I've been distracted... and that doesn't feel very good. So I'm setting forth the intention to get back on track.
