To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1
We’ve all been missing David, waiting impatiently for news. But, we’re not the only ones who have been waiting. Valentine’s Day just passed and I couldn’t help but think of David. His schedule has been so hectic for the last few years that he really hasn’t had much time for a personal life, or finding “his kind of perfect.” He’s sacrificed a lot for the sake of his career.
Most young men David’s age have been building their lives in different ways; socializing, finding love, going on missions, getting jobs, going to college. David has been looking ahead and building the road to a career in music. He has a goal and has been diligently working toward that end, even though it meant giving up the normal teenage life.
David was only 16 years old when he auditioned for American Idol. In the three and a half years since then it’s been a whirlwind of tours and recording. His last live performance was on New Year’s Eve, just a few short weeks ago (even though it seems like long ago.)
Understandably, some of David’s fans are concerned about recent events and whether he will tour to promote The Other Side Of Down. I think he will. I hope he will. But if he doesn’t, could there be an upside for David? Time to regroup with a new team could benefit him (and the fans) in the long run.
It’s hard, as fans, to sit patiently and wait for news of tour while we don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. We watch, we wait, we listen, and we search for any bits of news we can find, hoping for something that will help us understand what’s going on. Even though we see no rhyme or reason for it, maybe it’s working out the way it is meant to.
The Voice Is Here To Stay
A little birdie called to me
Just the other day
His tweeting held a message
Has life now gone astray?
Although it seems disheartening
It is not what it seems
Sometimes all those little clues
Aren’t clear in what they mean
A brand new day is dawning
This light shall never fade
Don’t worry about the darkness
For soon it goes away
A rainbow will be coming
Though it’s raining on this day
In tweets that little birdie said
Good things are on the way
A new path he is forging
Though the road is not yet clear
He’ll look to the horizon
To find the answers there
We will not need to wait for long
It’s just a short delay
He’ll soon be here to sing for us
The Voice is here to stay
I have faith in David and firmly believe that good things are going to happen for him. In the meantime, maybe David will have the opportunity to enjoy life for a little while, maybe even have time to fall in love. He deserves that.
It’s so easy for us to sit at home with our husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, saying I want tour NOW! I think sometimes we forget that we’re not the only ones waiting. David is waiting, too. For tour … and for love …
Everything has its time. So I think I’ll just sit back, take a deep breath, and think pleasant thoughts of tour. I’ll try to be patient while the pieces of David’s life fall into place as they were meant to.
And who knows? When David returns to touring, there could be a new richness and depth of emotion to his performances. There could be an upside for all of us.
