Am I a Good Muslima?

Am I a good Muslima? I don't know. I think I could be a lot better. I say my prayers everyday, but sometimes when I'm driving and not in my prayer room. I'm trying to learn about the Sufi path. I haven't been to Juma' for the past couple of weeks; something always gets in the way: waiting for a phone call, etc. I missed Islamic studies again yesterday because of the Internet problem and waiting for Time Warner to fix it all day. Literally all day: from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. I was ready to go to Juma' yesterday but I can't remember what came up. Something did and it got late and I didn't go. I really want to be a good Muslima, but I don't feel like I am. I feel I could be a lot better. When I go out with the family, it's always at a prayer time and I have to make it up. I don't feel comfortable saying, "I have to go pray now," since they are not respectful of my religion and my way of life. I have to pray to be a stonger Muslima and do what I should.

And Abudharr can jump in a lake. I'm glad I had already made up my mind that it wouldn't work and wasn't right. Now I don't have to deal with it. Thank Allah for small favors.
