Transitions

The world is currently all a buzz about Miley Cyrus and the choices she is making right now.  Miley is attempting to ditch her girl-next-door, sweet reputation and make people take her as a serious adult musician.  People are having a hard time accepting the new Miley. 

Miley made her way into many hearts by being a nice daddy girl who just wanted to be normal.  I don't know about you, but I find nothing normal about licking a dirty sledge hammer!  As of late, Miley seems more concerned with showing her body, then being sweet.

I get it, she wants to transition out of teenager into adult.  She wants to continue to make music, but to appeal to other generations, not just screaming girls.  As we grow older, we have to find a way to transition ourselves into the next chapter of our lives.  Luckily, most of us do not have to do it in the public eye, but we all have transitions.

Change can be difficult for some people.  We all go through change.  We change school buildings, move away for college, start an adult life, those are all changes and transitions we must handle.  God knows that we will go through changes.  He tells us in Ecclesiastes 3:1 "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven."

The bible verse continues on to list all the things:
"a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace."

Those are a lot of different changes that can happen and God says there will be a time for all of them! 

So as you are going through different transitions in your life, I hope that you take them more gracefully than Miley Cyrus, and I hope you understand that now is the time for this transition and soon it will be time for another transition.  If you need help with your transitions, please never hesitate to ask for help.  God Bless.
