OK.....So I feel rather nervous posting anything ( I just spent the last 10 minutes on whether to say hey, hi, hello, asalaam alaykum, good evening, salaam, etc, whatever) This is my first post on any Islamic website, and I feel like such a goober because it shouldn't be a big deal, right? I'm 27, raised Christian, had way too many problems with it, and for the past 15 years or so have had no religion to "claim".....And I've always kept God somewhere in my life, just never where He should of been. And if there was one thing that was consistently beat into my head was if you dont believe (in this case whatever the Christians decided to preach about that day) you were goin to hell, and hell this and hell that, and ever since a child all i've heard about was the end of days. And thats always stuck with me. And I just really feel like I have put it off long enough, God isn't gonna wait on me forever, especially after I have been so ungrateful to Him, and I just really need and want to come back closer to Him. Forgive me for rambling. After all that being said-sorry for the sob story-for a little over a year now I have been more and more interested in Islam. And the more I read, the more I want to know. And any questions I have are just minor because it seems like things explain themself.
I watch things on youtube all the time about people converting to Islam, and I just get so emotional because I just feel happy I guess, and my heart tells me, this is what you really want.....And I don't know what I'm waiting for. So if theres anyone out there that can just kinda help me, if there's something (besides the Q'uran) that I should read, something I can do to get involved really I just dont know....
I hope this looong drawn out post find all of you well, and thank you again for listening.
God Bless
