Good morning, Blogging Family! It’s been a while since I posted about violin, so I’m excited to share this update with you. Yesterday Ivan and I had the amazing privilege of visiting Classical Conversations, a homeschooling community that meets at Hillside Church. I got to give a 30 min. talk on the history of violin, and also share a little bit about my own violin journey both as a young person and after my accident.

This opportunity was near and dear to my heart since I was homeschooled all the way until college. The kids were such enthusiastic listeners, and made my job easy by asking plenty of creative questions. Such a testimony to their parents’ faithfulness, not just with educating them but also raising them up to know the Lord!

We ended our talk by playing “10,000 Reasons” and “Amazing Grace,” and I wanted to share this clip from “Amazing Grace” with you all. That was one of the pieces I played in my Facebook Live recital last year, but I’m thankful that God has allowed me to keep working on it and add some more notes and rhythms since then.

Thanks as always for your prayers and support!
