The past few days have been hard for me. I am a recent convert/revert to Islam, and my husband is a Lebanese Maronite Catholic. We are spending the Christmas season with his family near Boston, and it includes a lot of Mass-going, gift-giving, and Catholic praying. I've also come close to going to confession with a priest. But last night, I had a strange, wonderful dream that's changing everything...
I dreamed that I was with someone who was teaching me to pray. I think it was a masculin person, but they seemed more like an Angel. After Salat, we were talking and I found myself explaining why I was attracted to Islam. And as I listened to myself in the dream, I began to feel more at peace (in contrast to the turmoil I've felt recently) and wanting to experience Allah's way of life again.
So I just wanted to share that with you all and I hope you can pray for me! Thank you all for the support you have been and for the example you have set. More than all of that, thank you for your love, because that wins people over more than anything else.
