you`d still be goin` strong


I know, crazy isn't it?


Gravatar Assalmu Aleikum,

As I approach the "Big 4-0" in one month's time, your post is very timely indeed. Especially the part aboout becoming a Muslim. I'm having my three year shahada anniversary next week (alhumdulillah), and yeah, if you would have told me that I will convert to Islam I would have thought you were TOTALLY nuts. I'm still in a daze about it (in a good way) on some days, but I think I just have a tendency to make this religion harder than it really needs to be. I like your balance of living life as a Muslim sister while still raising a family and being out there in the dunya; it's a balance I strive (and struggle) for daily.

Hey, I see that you are also in NJ--may I ask where? We could be neighbors, insha-Allah! Wouldn't that be cool?

May Allah SWT shower His love, blessings, and mercy on your family.

love

Noor
