Last Thursday I watched my husband, David, give Iris her second guitar lesson. He was delighted that she had come back with all her chords memorized and had clearly been practicing. My joy comes from knowing what this means to Iris' heart. Through a discipleship relationship with her, I have seen the typical teen struggle to discover her identity and what God has made her for. The beauty in her heart is that she has sacrificed other things that she loves, that she felt were taking her away from singing to God. Iris is always humming and singing...music is always pouring out of her. She is succeeding at something she once gave up on because she is motivated by her desire to please the Lord.
