Hell everyone, my name is Christina. I am from TN, US. I have considered converting to islam, I just want to be sure I am doing it for the right reasons. I was raised christian although my parents rarely went to church. In my adult I joined a church, became a member and went every Sunday, was very active in the church functions and so on. The only problem was that I didnt really feel the spirit. After 3 years, I just stopped going. I wouldnt say I sin more than the next person but I really need to make God/Allah the biggest part of my life. My boyfriend is a muslim from Jordan and my best friend is married to an Iraqi man. No one is pushing anything on me, but I greatly appreciate their faith and will. All of the muslims I have came accross are beautiful people, so content and happy with their lives no matter the situation. I would love to have that peace. If I decided to convert, it would be very hard because of my friends and family. I dont want anyone to think that Im doing it for any other reason but to better myself and live in the way God intends. If anyone has any suggestions or can offer me any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time.
