Jessica, Brigid and Charlotte won a Talent Contest last night. The house is still a buzz with the wonderful joy that comes from achieving something like this. We are not show people or want our girls to be some stars or something, but when God gives gifts we are blessed to share! As Brigi put it last night "I love talent....because you can't grab it and hold onto it like a thing, you have to give it away." I hope this makes sense to our readers. They sang a vocal trio of The Lonely Goatherd from the Sound of Music.
So the details are this. The contest is for the area of Miami Valley (containing about 15 cities). The parks and recreation people put it on every year. This is the girls 3rd year to enter. THEY WON! 1st Place in the category of vocals (13 - 19 years) and 3rd Place Overall (all entries). This was a preliminary contest which will bring them to the final Talent Show on Aug. 3rd at the Fraze (a pavilion of a sort where concerts take place). You should have heard the oooohs and aaaahs when we googled the venue! Big stage with all the real stuff that comes with it. What an amazing experience this will be!! They will be competing with youth and teens from all over the area. ANYWAY... that's not the big deal, well maybe for some....
I think to say that the enjoyment they have in performing and doing well, having an opportunity to put a smile on someone's face....blessing someone and sharing, that's the big deal. Now they will have another opportunity to get up in front of strangers, and friends, and be the girls God has called them to be, wholesome and lovely.
Congratulations! What a joy it must be for your girls to have the opportunity to share the blessed talent they have been blessed with! Even more so is the joy of giving all the glory to the Lord! Thanks for sharing; we'll look forward to hearing about the "big show!"
