Q: Should we respond in our life by our previously experiences from problems, trials that we already went through or be led by God, even we get into almost same problem, trial like before?

A: Yes, sometimes we can use our wisdom gained from our past experiences to help us navigate through current, or similar struggles. However, if you are running into the same problem as before, chances are you probably didn't get to the bottom of it the first time. What is also true, sometimes God allows us to go through greater or new challenges, one's that require our past experiences, but also a new level of FAITH, for all the unknowns. God's desire is to see us grow from Glory to Glory, from Faith to Faith. He doesn't want to leave us like infants. He wants to mature us daily.

Q: Have you been in situations like this: having a lot of ambitious, ideas, knowing you can do it, but still you are affraid of what could happen after your dreams and ideas come true?

A: Hi there! Thanks for asking! This is the thing for me:

I believe most (if not all!) of my desires/dreams are inspired by God. I know that if he has called me to something, he will see that I accomplish it. I know that throughout all life's events, God has a plan and purpose. I don't think I've ever been afraid of accomplishing my dreams, but then again, I don't know if we ever fully arrive. There are always more dreams ready to be dreamed… more adventures just around the corner! Know this-- if God has called you to great things, and you're feeling afraid of the weight of responsibility that comes with that position, know that he will never leave you! He will continue to lead, guide, and equip you to fulfil your calling! He holds us every step of the way!

Q: Every ending has a new begining.Did you have those endings and was it hard to start a new begining?When I feel that new beginning is coming I am affraid and think how I am not ready for new beginning.

A: Haha. Yes! Walking through that right now. Sometimes change is hard, but such a necessary part of human growth. I once heard a great quote:

“All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.” - Anatole France

My advice, is to not be afraid. Satan wants to make your journey miserable, and slow down your progress by trying to fill you with doubt. Just put your hands to the plow and don't look back (Luke 9:62). Know that you can do ALL things through Christ. You will not just survive and barely pass by, you will be victorious! Trust God. He can do mighty things, with just a little bit of our faith!

Q: What do you think the key to staying confident is? Especially when you work in such a competitive profession?

A: The key to staying confident is practicing your craft! Remember there will always be someone better, or worse off than you. If you allow every experience to be your teacher, (learning from successes, and failures), you won't be afraid to try new things, new audiences, and even stretch yourself. I think humility plays a part in being confident; humility in the sense that you know who you are, and you don't need to prove yourself to anyone. Appreciate those who are more advanced than you, and learn from them. Recognize your own strengths, and capitalize on them! Enjoy yourself! At the end of the day, true musicians play music because they love it. Success or fame has very little to do with it ;)

Q: Do you have any good tips for writing songs? And composing melodies to go with them?

A: A basic tip about how I write: make sure the message matches the music. Often I'll write the melody first, and sometimes it carries a message all on its own. Music speaks. Sometimes I'll play the melody over and over, and ask myself, what kind of story or theme is present here? For example, a sad, or minor key, often may turn out to be a ballad, some kind of lament, or revelation.

Another basic tip: say what you mean to say. Don't try and get fancy. Pen out what you are actually trying to communicate even before it fits, or rhymes, then work around that. Often people try and use so many fancy words that the initial focus of the song gets lost!
