Bobbi Spitzberg: Supporter of Instrumental Music in PGCPS
My Mom bought two instruments and donated them to my instrumental program. Because of her generosity two students will learn how to play an instrument that would otherwise not have had the opportunity. Thank you Mom. Also, I am hoping to use two of her pictures to have the students compose a song: "Wedding and the Ticket Booth Man." Stay tuned ...
I hope to publish a post soon about our vacation in Myrtle Beach and some other activites. Thanks for reading!

"Five Loaves, and Two Fish" is Now Over
The past two weeks have been an incredible music education opportunity. I have never conducted a strings, percussion, and winds orchestra in a musical setting. But now I have. Not only was this a great musical experience, but this was my first time teaching in a Christian environment. That was the best part of all. What a joy to ask God to bless our rehearsals! It was also refreshing to read my favorite verse in the Bible that talks about joy, Nehemiah 12:27,43
27And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites in all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, with thanksgivings and with singing, with cymbals, harps, and lyres.
43And they offered great sacrifices that day and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women and children also rejoiced. And the joy of Jerusalem was heard far away.
I'm hoping to take what I learned the last two weeks to my PG County job this year. I won't be able to pray out loud before I begin, but I can pray to myself. I won't be able to read Bible verses to the kids, but I can meditate on God's Word to help me be a more effective teacher.
My Mom came to the show on Friday night and took a picture of the flowers Mari got me. Not only did Mari get me flowers, but she also wrote a VERY encouraging note. She pointed out specific evidences of God's grace in my life that she noticed. That letter made my day!!!!
Have a great day!!
