To the girls who play violin…
You are definitely unique and very incredible individuals.
When I first started teaching you in your class,
I will admit it was difficult.
You girls would talk in your language,
But then you would always make sure to bring it back to English for my sake.
I appreciated your commitment to come and play everyday,
It reminded me of being in your shoes once.
I can’t count the number of times you guys perfected a song,
Or the number of times you would laugh trying.
And on our last day together…
You girls played a song I just gave you that day.
I felt so honoured to be a part…
Of your fun little group.
When you girls would hug me at the end of class…
It made me feel like I was actually doing something.
You girls helped me see how fully invested I can be…
In a ministry God put out in his hands… just for me.
I would have never… ever… thought that
I would become a violin teacher for ministry.
But I guess you girls helped me see how important it was.
To you, and to God who made music a part of worshiping him.
And by the end of this month in South Africa…
You helped me become a more confident violin teacher.
You girls are the best…
And I can only imagine where God will take you with your talents.
So thank you…
To the girls who play violin.

This is so awesome that you could use your music talents to help and encourage these girls as they are learning violin. Do you have a video to share of them playing?
I didn’t end up getting a video, too busy being present with them! 🙂
God using your gifts and talents for His glory! No surprise there!
