Working with Middle School students there is a word that describes this "season" in their lives that they experience between the 6th-8th grades-change. Puberty, growth spurts, increased attraction to the opposite sex, stronger desire to "fit-in", peer pressure increase, emotional "ups and downs", several changes that these young people will be experiencing through the next several years. Some exciting but some very uncomfortable for them.
My family and I have been through many changes this year. Some were very uncomfortable, some very exciting, and some a little scary. Change is difficult sometimes but we need to embrace change not shy down from it. Change can be a wonderful thing! Change can be a learning experience! Change can grow our character!
The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 3:1 that "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.."
So what "changes" or "seasons" are you experiencing right now in your life? Ask God what it is he wants to do through these changes and allow you to learn and grow during them.
