What a wonderful moment listening to this beautiful child expressing herself and the gifts that God has bestowed on her. She is such a sweet, humble, unassuming little girl who obviously ‘feel’s something fresh - a freshness that only God can give any of us. It is so uplifting to see not only this little girl, but the support she is getting from her parents and her grandparents. This is what love, Christianity, and God does to all of us - it is a beauty, a freshness, a desire for greatness yet with a sense of humility, that is so beautiful. I applaud this young girl, her talent, and God, who obviously is the force behind her. Thank you for sharing this on the web- it is such a relief from all of the other things that we have to endure daily from the media. God Bless HER!!

My older sister could play very much like that. God has definitely blessed her with an amazing talent. I think this is an excellent reminder to use the examples of great talent to turn us toward the Creator of those talents.

Wow! I’m glad to see that younger kids even use their talents to full potential! I’ve been in piano for about 5 years and was getting pretty good.. but she’s definitely better than me! Good job and keep going! Maybe this will start to change people’s mind about kids and their potential!!

I don’t know if you would say this impresses me or if it is more refreshing to see. I just got back from Eric and Leslie Ludy’s conference. Leslie, and her assistant Annie radiate the love of Christ. They are always smiling, even when they are sad, but it is not a happy smile. It is a smile that is content in Jesus Christ. It is such a joy to be around them.

That’s a great reminder. When we see something amazing we need to think that it’s God who did that. Not someone else. Not their own selves. God. Thanks for the post!

I debated with a young man who is going off to PHC this autumn-at sixteen years old. In this day and age of lower expectations, it’s impressive to see someone like that. Yet it is absolutely incredible to think that Jesus was in a similar forum at only twelve (Luke 2)! Christ had to be living on his own for five days, and He had to have the spiritual and intellectual maturity to be able to listen to and teach the most brilliant teachers of the day at twelve.
This young man is also very eloquent. Yet I stand in awe of the Maker of eloquence-the Epitome and literal Essence of that ability.
Finally, we all realize that you (Alex and Brett) are both normal people, but we see how inspirtaionly passionate you are for God’s glory, and yet, even your passion pales beyond cmparison with Christ’s passion for His Father while on this earth; the same passion that we ought to daily strive to imitate.

What impresses me is when someone can say that another person is better than they are at a given thing, especially when that other person is in their family. And when they are completely sincere, and not just saying it to look good. That is a hard thing to do.

When someone does that, they are demonstrating that it is more important to say that a sibling is better than they are, and to build him/her up, than to make themselves look good by saying how good they are at a particular thing.

Wow, God really does know what I am thinking
I was just feeling down because I has looked at some great photography, which is one thing that impresses me, and I’m amazed the natural and independent skills of other people, whatever their talents may be.
But then I wondered to myself why i don’t have such great skill. I look back at my own work, and compare it to others who are better. And thats how I fall off the I’m-not-good-enough cliff and land in a lie.
Thank you, God, for the reminder that everything is to give YOU glory, and not me, and not any of us!

I can’t agree more with Yuriy K. if she was to give her life to God the results could be great. For as has been said is it not God who has given her this great talent. Although this young girl is impressive what I find really impressive is when we get a really heavy fog. I’m impressed by it when I look over the back of our fence to a hospital complex and they’ve got all of their lights on and the trees make strong shadows. It looks beautiful! I don’t know about what it is like for you guys but we get this because i live in Australia.

All praise and glory be to God
