Definitely.... My Music!

As you have heard before

teaching music gives me joy.

Some photos of my choir students 

over the years.....

This season of my life ends in March.

We will do our final co-op concert together.

Next year it will be another person's project.

As my own children have grown older 

and need me less for their academics

I have wondered what I would do 

with myself.  

What would my purpose be?  

As a homeschool Mom there

was no question.  

It is a full time job.

You get up in the morning and you teach.

Math, history, english, writing, civics

and so much more.  

You shape lives.  

You invest yourself into 

teaching your children

to know the Lord and His Word.

 All the while knowing that 

the work of salvation is HIS

and 

trusting that you are a part of 

HIS plan in the lives of your children.

Many of you were reading here last year

as the boys were preparing to graduate.

I went through a serious funk.

Questioning what would be next.

Well, those answers are coming into focus.

For one thing, Chelsea's goals will involve me.

We will very likely take 

business management courses 

and get food prep certified 

together. 

We'll work toward opening

a small cafe in a few years.

Beyond that, the candle business is growing

and I hope to expand it, as well.

But, the thing that I never saw coming

is something I have become passionate about.

Teaching music one on one.

I now have several students with

whom I am working on voice.

Another one popped up just last week.

I have not been able to work with her yet....

but I cannot wait!

Such a diamond in the rough!!!!

Monday afternoon I met for the second time

with a young man who just loves to sing.

He is making progress.

It is such a huge blessing to hear him 

working hard to achieve a goal.

Tiny steps of improvement are to be celebrated.

This appears to be one of my "next steps".

Teaching young people the joy of music.

Showing them how to use the gift of voice.

 

The past two days on this blog 

I shared about two things 

that were not mine...

a dog and a pair of jeans.

But today is different.

This is definitely 

"my music"....

and it sounds 

so good!
