I don't have many older students at this point, but I do have a high schooler who I am hopefully going to be starting a small group Bible study with in the spring, along with some of her friends. <br /><br />I look back on life and can still remember those teachers who most impacted my life- I want to be like one of those teachers for my current students!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905459835583001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528996180471610430.post-90067827854852424592012-03-05T13:12:07.264-08:002012-03-05T13:12:07.264-08:00Valerie- Thank you so much for your words!

The way I interact with them on a weekly basis can REALLY have an impact- even if I never see the fruit, I might be planting seeds that will bloom further down the road.<br /><br />The St. Patrick's Day event sounds wonderful! So glad you could get out and enjoy the music :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905459835583001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528996180471610430.post-24930673208812702582012-03-04T18:00:03.949-08:002012-03-04T18:00:03.949-08:00Absolutely agree, Sarah!

It is a great chance to show God's love in a 30+ minute time span. This is along the lines of my "outside the music box" lesson I gave a few weeks ago. I posted about it on my blog if you want to read about it. Keep up the good work and focus!!Leahhttp://www.mypianoplayground.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528996180471610430.post-85708864793627053302012-03-03T14:12:13.249-08:002012-03-03T14:12:13.249-08:00Lovely,Sarah!

I'm teaching in Alexandria, VA and just enjoyed the Howard County Fire Dept Pipe and Drums Brigade at the St. Patrick's Day in Old Town this morning!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926668325122348543noreply@blogger.com
