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.
