A tribute to mentors

It's shepherd appreciation day.
I want to write a line or 2 in honour of the ppl that have shaped my life along the years.

  • Pa and Mom - My father is an exemplary spiritual leader of the house, spiritual leader in the church, natural leader in the community. What better thing can be said of a full-grown man? He is compassionate and motivational. From him stems my passion to fulfill my God-given potential and do thing excellently. From him comes the spiritual insights and the life example of a working professional who serves God so fully and is humble, stable, yet passionate for God always.Mom...I've had a post about her already in 2007[check it out]. Thank God for your investment into my life all the time, since I was a baby. My training in the arts, in books and reading, in life-skills, in budgeting, in the Word of God.

  • Uncle David James and Aunty Susan - Godpa and Godma, thank you for always caring and providing a safe emotional haven for me. Your generosity and hugs will never be forgotten...Love you.
  • Mel - We've had plenty of ups and downs. We've been through thick and thin. But you've always tried to care and exhort me with sound advice and present different ideas/perspectives. Thank you for shaping my life. Thank you for making me stronger in character.
  • Yong Hui - You're so sold out for the Kingdom and so in love with God. Your countless spiritual insights, your books that you readily lent and gave me, your wisdom and counsel, your maturity and caution have enriched my life. Please keep on serving the King. Your calling is great!
  • Peter Truong - What can I say but to be mentored personally by Peter for 3 years has been such an honour and privilege? Yours was the ministry umbrella that I discovered and starting living my potential in evangelism and outreach, in the prophetic and in missions. Thank you so much. For always believing in me, for always giving me a platform, for your prayers and concern.
  • Lai Ling - The emotionally safe, and the compassion giver in times of doubt, discouragement and turmoil. The ultimate forgiver, the powerfully prophetic, the fountain of love....I have a post on her too!
  • Belle and Lance - For candidness, encouragement, sensitivity in the Spirit and concern showed especially in my times of doubt. For passion for the things of God modelled!
  • Natalie - Nat, it is so refreshing to have someone go before me and understand me in so many ways. You're one of the few I can stomach rebukes from, because you always encourage and inspire at the same time. Thank you for prayers, silliness, tickles, honesty, firmness and love.....
Thank you and love you all.

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!
