So since the last time I wrote, I have been putting forth more effort into this. It feels good, and I like seeing my intentions put into action.
I started rereading the Qur'an. I actually have two different English translations. I really liked the first one I read. I'm glad I read two different ones, just for a different perspective on the same thing. I can see how things can vary in translation. Insha Allah one day I will learn Arabic and be able to read it in its original language! But for now, I am rereading the first translation again, and I am really into it again already. If I had nothing else to do, I'd be content to just sit and read it all day! I love it. I finding myself getting more out of it each time I read it. And the more I learn about Islam outside of the Qur'an, the more the Qur'an makes sense in some ways that I didn't understand before, as I didn't know the context of different things. It's filling in gaps.
I prayed yesterday as well. Insha Allah I will today too.
I feel the desire for some new step forward, though I don't know what that would be. I will keep an open mind for this and see if anything appears.
