Those who HOPE in the Lord will renew their strength

Had lunch with my "cover" and my good friend, Rubecca...as Taiwanese christians call people who are your spiritual covering. Well, there was Jeff, the producer who helps me out randomly almost every week or so by suggesting some odd project or 2 to increase my portfolio. I've been recording at GOOD TV for the last 2 days, some band playing and some singing. It's a start. Gives you experience you need in front of an audience that is not so critical as the norm. Or as interested in gossip or silly things.

It was simple lunch at an old little 热炒 [literally translated as hot stir-fry] restaurant. Eggs, Huan Zhu Hiok [sweet potato leaves], Kangkong, Fish, Fried rice, Beehoon and pork, Taufufa and Liong Fun.

Mr "Cover" is Bro. Lin Jian Ping (剑萍哥). He has a daughter my age, so he treats me like another one.  Today he expounded on why it takes more effort to depend on God as we progress in our spiritual life. And he also talked about the perils of being too rich and self-reliant. And he talked about the difficulties of navigating around jadedness in our Christian life. Most of all, He emphasized that a big part of waiting upon the Lord and renewing our strength is HOPE. We KNOW God will come through for us. Now wait around in cynicism. 

Well, I am endeavouring to absorb that in my spirit. God is for me. God will come through for me, especially when I don't know what on earth I'm doing. As long as heaven has a clue what I'm doing and will inform me, I will try not to mind so much. 

Listening to: A taiwanese singing Coldplay style. LOVE it.

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!
