Conformation

Romans 12:2 says “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”

We all want to conform to what others want us to be. Had I read Romans 12:2 when I was still in high school, I may have stuck around and continued to be involved in the theater.  What I did do is respected my father’s wishes and gave it up. Where would I have been had I stuck with it? I have no clue. I guess I had two passions: Theater and law enforcement. And today I am thankful that I have a degree in Criminal Justice and work in a career field that allows me to have a law enforcement involvement while hoping to provide some valuable guidance to those that have made bad choices in their lives. I hope and pray that I can be that good influence that they truly need.
