So, I made it to here.
It's been almost 2 years since I "officially" converted.(Became active anyway....more on that later) I have finally gotten to know the Imam, I go to the mosque on Friday nights for the halaqa (religious study/discussion group) and I have gotten to know a few Muslimahs, and I have my prayers pretty much memorized at this point. But I am not praying 5 times a day, I stopped studying Arabic, I was starting to wear hijab more and more and get used to it, even feel strange without it, but I have strayed from this practice too. I feel like I have strayed from Islam a bit, and I swear, the Catholic in me feels immensely guilty about it. Ramadan is coming, and I am a bit nervous to go through with it. I know I can, millions do, but wow, what an undertaking right? Well, this is enough for now, its a start right?
