About Me: Well, everybody always asks about how I came to revert so I figured I would put it on here. It's hard to put everything into words, but I'll try my best. For starters, I grew up and still live in an area where there is virtually no muslims. I never even heard of Islam growing up. But in 5th grade, I started telling everyone that I wanted to be a muslim when I grew up. haha I have tried to figure out where I even got the idea, but honestly cannot pinpoint anything. So there was an attraction there for quite a while. Moving on to my high school years: Basically the best way to explain that is to say that I was probably one of the most lost people on the planet. I surrounded myself with the completely wrong type of people, which led to a lot of partying, gambling, a few run ins with the law, guns being pulled on me and being shot at, and well you get the picture; I was completely lost. Finally one day, I decided to begin looking for some answers. Being that I completely surrounded by 'christians', I looked there first. I wanted it to work so badly, but in the end there was just something missing. I briefly looked at some other religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and such. I then began looking into the Bahai faith. Everything had the end result though. Basically they all just left me with more questions then answers. Now I used to take these 'find your religion' quizzes or whatever and Islam was always at the top of my list. I figured that I might as well at least take a serious look at it. And really from the first day I began researching and reading about Islam, it was like the whole world changed. It is really hard to explain, but it was like I finally found what I have been looking for my entire life. I dont think I ever really knew exactly what I was looking for, but I was looking for something. The greatest thing that has ever happened to me is Islam. Looking back, I truely feel like Allah was trying to show me the way but it was me that just wouldnt listen. Now, I just consider myself so lucky to be blessed with His guidance. Its like He showed me what could be waiting for me if I keep ignoring Him. I wish I could really put into words about how truely blessed I feel and just exactly how much my life has changed, but I hope you get the idea. Allahu Akbar!
