In which we meet professional musicians in the Solomon Islands...

When we left the music education and orchestra world in 2006, we thought it would be forever.  Even though it broke our hearts, we put the desire to teach music and to play our cellos on the altar.  And the Lord keeps giving us opportunities to dip our toes back into the world of music for refreshment. When we were in the village, I got an email from a colleague introducing me to a cellist from England who was going to be spending a couple of weeks in Honiara.  

What a treat to have members of the Dionysus Ensemble come to share a meal with us last night.  In the midst of their busy days of pouring out their time and energy for the people of the Solomon Islands, they found a little bit extra to come listen to our girls and give them some tips.  Connecting over music and laughing about differences in terminology (like "pudding" vs. "dessert") refreshed our hearts and reminded me that God almost always surprises me with the way He works.
