Speak

God's calling has always been to do with this tongue and mouth of mine...haha...speak. witness. encourage. declare. impart. sing. speak. speak. speak. Ever since I was 17.
I think, for a long time now, I have not dared to speak. Speak TRUTH with LOVE and GRACE, just as the prophet from Down Under said 5 years ago. More often than not, I have been tongue-tied. I have not spoken the truth. I have not spoken in love. Bitterness and despair would be more like it.
However, God is good. When God says something he will carry it out. For a long time, I thought speaking truth and witnessing meant the gospel to the lost. Yes it does. But it means a lot more. It means the powerful truth in every situation, it means love exuded and grace abundantly sowed. How difficult it is to not be afraid. I still hyperventilate sometimes when I need to do it.
But God is good.
Speak
Break the chains of the captives
Bring light to the blurry places
Speak
There is so much to give
There are so many hopeless faces
Speak
In the image of my Creator
In the essence of my God

Fear and Faith

I wish I could get rid of this feeling of underlying fear that grips me once in a while. After every high there is an inevitable crash. Or when I wake up, it's really hard to face the day not quite knowing what you should do or what the goal is in the end.  I can picture this trembling kid in my mind, who's quite desperate to cling on to something for safety and comfort. And that kid is me. But the kid's alone. And there's no one to actually to hang on to, and nothing to hug, not even a pillow. But the kid is also wary of clinging on to anything because that might prove disastrous, as it has in the past. You get entangled with unnecessary things or people So,  Kid is stuck with just holding nothing. Waiting.  I mean, it's not like God never warned or foretold that this journey would be lonely, I'd be seemingly alone, but He would be with me. I would look like I was wobbly but He would uphold me. The only time the fear really alleviates is when God's pres...

陶喆 David Tao Mash Up 2 - 流沙/普通朋友 （by Charis蔡佳靈 + Nray 胡恩瑞 + 森林ㄌㄜˋ園）

高中會重覆聽100遍的歌就是‘普通朋友' 和 ‘流沙‘ ☺️ 很開心可以和  森林ㄌㄜˋ園 團長阿綠把這兩首百聽不厭的歌串在一起，重編成band sound的歌；然後和  N-Ray 胡恩瑞  &樂手朋友們呈現出來。謝謝有才的朋友們的參與！也再次謝謝負責攝影間接 Rick Lin 。希望你們會喜歡～歡迎分享、留言、訂閱、按 💗  ！也可以跟我們說你們要接下來聽的歌 （那些點‘沙灘’的朋友我已看見你們的留言！) I remember re-playing 'Regular Friends' and 'Everything's gone' so many times on the way to school. They were such classic hits! Here's the 2nd David Tao mashup video we produced. My gifted singer/songwriter/keyboardist friend Green Lee sat down with me to re-arrange it together (guess which other song we used as a base for the two tracks 😁 ?). Had lots of fun recording and shooting this with my talented pals! Please help us share around, and do subscribe if you haven't yet!
