Test for Echo

The title has little to do with what I wanna blog about. It's actually the title of a Rush album and the title track. But the more relevant part is the word "Test". I previously shared about the tests that will come my way and that very morning I was tested at the shoot (for the reality show's opening) when my DAT recorded went crazy and caused me much distress. If not for Nelson's company that day, I think I would have panicked. It was really nice of him to come hang out with me even though they didn't want to hire an assistant for me (which in actual fact was needed). I feel that it's also a dawn of a very great bond between two soundman.

After the shoot, I went to look for Alan, who was as usual, most helpful in helping me and giving sound advice(pun intended) for all my work. Knowing that I was doing the right thing at work makes me feel affirmed and the confidence in me was raised. Today I went to work with a new renewed spirit. This was especially so after I read Titus and the verse that stuck out was Titus 2: 7-8

"...in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you."

The keywords were "integrity", "incorruptibility" and "sound speech" because they were issues that I had to wrestle with.

Trials and tribulations
Tests and expectations
I am still at ease
I am still at peace

Risks and present dangers
Not like it really matters
That would be a lie
I would be the liar

Truth is never clearer
Grey is not in flavour
I will be alive
I will be alive
