For four years, I was making a particular prayer and I was going

00:00:03 --> 00:00:07

to get the news that day. I was so excited and so hopeful, and then I

00:00:07 --> 00:00:12

got the email, and I didn't get it, and I was crushed. I knew that

00:00:12 --> 00:00:18

Allah has a better plan, but it was really hard for me, and I am

00:00:18 --> 00:00:22

all about treat yourself, so I was wishing that I could have this

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

particular type of cookie that a friend of mine makes. I wasn't

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

gonna tell her, Hey, can you bake some cookies for me? And I didn't

00:00:27 --> 00:00:32

tell her anything about what I was waiting to hear that day. And she

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

texted me an hour later, and she's like, check outside your door. She

00:00:35 --> 00:00:40

had been making them before I even got the news. Sometimes out of his

00:00:40 --> 00:00:45

wisdom, he will close the door you want opened for you, but he'll

00:00:45 --> 00:00:49

open a different one, a wish of your heart out of His mercy you.
