this week i have had not 1, but 2 wonderful opportunities to witness my eldest exhibit his giftedness. on tuesdays, he participates in a homeschool band. with my background, i have been enlisted to help out - but not with his particular beginning band. this week however, i had the privlege to rehearse them and was highly impressed with jonah's performance. he played intricate rhythms & stayed in time. band being my thing for so long, i didn't really know if he would even want to do it, much less excel at this. i mean when someone says that they want to play drums, it usually means they just want to bang on a drum set (which he also does...really well!). but he was back there playing the concert snare drum with musicality & excellence. :)
then last night, i was overwhelmed as i worshiped with our youth group while jonah played bass with the praise band. this put my "proud mom" feeling over the top. not only was he ridiculously amazing at the music side of it, but he was up there praising GOD with his talent. i'm sure every parent goes through great moments of pride in watching their kids do that which GOD designed them to do, but this week i am feeling extraordinarily blessed. i can't wait to see all that GOD has for both my boys as they continue to journey through life.
