About an extraordinary Thursday!

Thursdays are usually ordinary days.
But not the last one!

I've been invited to sing at Christian festival Semfest.
And I am really thankful for this invitation,
because I literally had to brush up my old songs
and work on music outside of Fusion. 

The added value was that I was performing with my brother Ivan.


An unexpected thing was that 2 days before the concert our parents decided to go with us.
They took it as a celebration of their 38th wedding anniversary!


It was challenging to put all 4 of us into one car together with instruments
but we had fun.
Talking about different things,
drinking (for me definitely disgusting) energy drinks,
laughing and sharing
...
all of this is now part of our family history.


Of course one needs to prepare before performing on stage!
 I'm not talking only about song/music rehearsals. 
The most important part for me are those moments with God, 
when I pray and ask for THE playlist.
What a reward when people show up after concert telling
that they've got encouraged!

.....

One of the songs was about not giving up. 
Since I've no recording (yet), you will have to make up your own music :)

Even though I’m standing on the edge of my life once again;
and I don’t see much meaning around;
I will carry on, I will be strong.

Cause there must be something more,
more in this fallen world.
I refuse that some fate just plays stupid games
and humans like me try to escape away.

Many times I’m hiding behind my wounded heart;
and my eyes are blind to understand;
but somewhere deep in my soul
something stronger than me knows:

That there is something more,
more in this fallen world.
I refuse that some fate just plays stupid games
and humans like me try to escape away.



When enemy comes,
fear tries to steal,
and misery seems so real to me –

that’s the time I’ll stand on Your word about the promised land.
And even though war blusters around
I still can be sure that I...

I will survive,
I will touch eternity,
I will be forever
cause I believe (in) 


You, in You.
You are my light shining through the dark,
You are the reason why I’m risking my life.
