Being yourself

While at church today they read a verse that really caught my attention, this is something I think that should not be taken lightly.

Romans 12:2
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is- His good, pleasing and perfect will. "

This is such a powerful statement if you break it down. Think of all the things we do and say on a daily basis, there are things I have done in my past that I felt were ok because "everyone was doing it", so I made the excuse that it must be ok. Can you imagine what a world would be like if no one followed the crowd, no one said hurtful things to other just because they think it is funny. well this really got me thinking and even with how corrupt things and people are now adays, I really think there are some people in this world who have it right.

When we went through out miscarriages it was so hard because some people who are your friends do not know what to day, so in turn they say the wrong thing, and they say the wrong thing because other people in today's time within medicine make miscarriages so common that everyone acts like it is nothing. Did you kow that in some cultures even a miscarriage as early as your first trimester receive a funeral ceremony and a wake. However with my husbands help we healed how we needed to, and those few friends who really shined through and told me all of the things in God's word I needed to hear really made me remember that there are some people out there who are good and try to be the best person for God they can be.

So all in all it just made me think of those few people in my life who really are the shining light who I feel have it as right with God as they can in this life, and this passage made it all clear, that just because society says one thing you should really evealute what you are doing and renew yourself, to make the best decisions!
