Conformist

I'd like to say that I don't conform to what everybody else does, but that isn't exactly true. I want to be unique to who God made me to be. I want to own my own thoughts and beliefs and not be persuaded easily. I think that I am this woman for the most part but I do see those times when I do conform.



I sign my kiddos up for group activities even at a young age when they honestly won't get anything out of it. I spend exorbitant amounts of money so they can get enriched singing silly songs with other 10 month old babies. Seriously, I am silly enough on my own. I really don't need to have someone teach my how to be this way. In defense of myself, I would hate for my children to have missed out on an experience that would help to shape them into great human beings.

Another example. In my job, I conform to those around me. I am a follower of Christ but I don't know if my fellow pilots even know that. I sit down in my seat, fly my plane, go home, and don't even mention God on most days at work. I have on some occasions but it is not something that I do regularly. The Lord is a big part of my life and yet I don't talk about it at work often. I am conforming to those around me. I don't want to rock-the-boat, don't want to make anyone uncomfortable, but is that right. It convicts me, so I know it is wrong.

Lord, help me to be strong and to do as you would have me do, day in and day out. Help me to lead a Christ centered life in every area. I know you have a plan for me Father, so help me to see it and be exactly who you designed me to be. Amen.
