A wave goodbye tonight. 👋🏼 Thank you #Yakima for a wonderful evening! It was so fun to be with all of you! If you were there what stood out to you? One more Washington show in Richland Monday.

I notice that the words SOLD OUT are now becoming more of a norm than a surprise when it comes to describing David’s shows nowadays.  In his own quiet, unpretentious way, David is gradually ascending the “In Demand” ladder.   Through hard work,  quality music, determination and self-belief.

Hmm…  and he is not looking too bad either.   😉   😉   Understatement!!   😀   😀

OMG Mother!!

cr: Quotes and Humor

I used to have a scary mum.   She had a passionate opinion about everything.  Until she got ill in her old age.  And never recovered.

She thought I was “abusing” my body by dancing too rigorously and carrying heavy flower pots while working on my garden.

She would holler at me: “You’re trying to hurt your spine?   You’re trying to break it?   Snap it into fragments?”

“Oh don’t make a fuss, Mother!  I know what I’m doing!”   (Really??)

“You wait until you’re older.  Backpain will come!  I promise you!”   (Did she have to know about everything?  Even before it happens??)

Of course, true to her word and shrewdness, I started to develop the backpain she promised a few years later when I had a spinal problem.  Unfortunately she had passed on and could not enjoy the gleeful opportunity of saying to me “I told you so!”, which was also part of her scariness.

But she was My Mum.   I loved her to pieces.   And I miss her.  Ever so much.  I miss the no-offence bantering between us.  The sometimes vast differences in our opinions.   I even miss her scariness.

Today is her day.  I remember her with the ultimate love and devotion.

How nice it is to have a mother-child relationship which encompasses, not only an emotional bond, but also cheeky playfulness and light-hearted banter.  The pic below of David and his mum demonstrates that connection and attachment between them.  I envy their fun.

Yeah  ..  show some appreciation for your Mum today  ..  and everyday after that.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY !!!!

And on the more serious side of this child-mother connection between him and his Mum for Mother’s Day, David sent this message on Instagram

“My mom has taught me that strength isn’t always about how noticed or popular you are. She has shown me how to value quiet strength. My mom has always kept more to herself ever since she was in grade school, enjoying her time alone and not worrying how other people perceive her. But she also isn’t timid. She gets up and demands a stage singing and dancing. But once she’s off she is able to enjoy time at home without attention. She doesn’t need to flaunt her life and try to show everyone how happy she is which I value (though I’m flaunting her off now 😂). She already is happy, and has taught me to be grateful for what life has to offer in each moment. When I’m frustrated and angry about something she is patient with me, and without judgement calms me down and helps me looks up with hope and new My mom has taught me that strength isn’t always about how noticed or popular you are. She has shown me how to value quiet strength. My mom has always kept more to herself ever since she was in grade school, enjoying her time alone and not worrying how other people perceive her.

She already is happy, and has taught me to be grateful for what life has to offer in each moment. When I’m frustrated and angry about something she is patient with me, and without judgement calms me down and helps me looks up with hope and new perspective. She will call me to share moments where she had her prayers answered and then testify to me of the power of prayer when done with faith and trust in God’s will. She recognizes God’s hand in her life and expresses how she is in awe of Him. She shows me that as we trust in God and come unto Him we will begin to get to know Him personally and feel His love. I feel it through her love for me and my siblings. She testifies of faith in Christ to heal and empower us beyond what we thought we were capable of. While she had a hard time understanding motherhood when she first had kids and feels bad for it, she has grown into her role as a mother beautifully and is one of the most powerful women. I can’t believe she is my mom. She has provided me and my siblings with walls of a home that are safe and sacred. A place where we feel peace, can open up about our doubts, fears and become vulnerable to then receive support, love and clarity. A place we can find answers we are looking for. Home with my mom has been the most important place on my journey of discovering who I am and deciding who I will become. Because of my mom I have the foundation I’ve needed to build my life upon, not just onstage but also and more importantly offstage. She has raised me to become a man of faith, and reliant upon God. I love you mom! #happymothersday#mothersday”

• davidarchie“Take a step, even when you fall it ain’t over yet. If you’re in the crossfire don’t forget, that you don’t have to be #invincible .” I have a tendency to give up on things. The feelings of not being good enough or simply being unmotivated have kept me laying in bed all day before. I’ve wanted to give up on school, on my career, on trying new things, and on myself a lot. It’s a battle that seems to not go away.I’ve also had to battle with an addictive personality. I’ve lost control to food, to video games, to anger, holding grudges, to pornography, fetishes, abuse and being manipulated (It’s a strong emotion that yes you can get addicted to and latch onto craving—even seeking after it) self-pity, excuse-seeking, and overall negative thinking. To social media, and yes, music. 🤯You may not think all of these things are bad, but all of these things I have at some point lost self-control. But you know what? I keep trying. Through prayer and crying out to God, having family and close friends listen to me when I feel helpless and feel like giving up. They walk alongside me, cry with me, and help me get back on my feet when I’m lying on the ground. They’ve inspired me to become more than I thought I was.
  God knows we’re not perfect. He knows our bodies and minds provide us with plenty of weaknesses. But rather than letting them get the best of us, let us become stronger through them. “Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” – 2 Cor 12:10I get discouraged. I get frustrated. I get distracted. I get lazy. I get angry. I get moody. I get suspicious of others’ intentions. I get lonely. But the more I go through it all I can look back and say “I got through it.. I fought through.” And that’s what matters. A moment of hope and inspiration also shines in the darkness.
  If you’ve felt like giving up, feel like a failure, feel like you’ve lost self-control, like you’re not good enough.. Know you’re not alone, and in your weakness you can be made strong. We weren’t designed to live perfectly, but we were designed to keep trying and overcome. 💪

David speaking from the depths of his heart.   Dark David   😯    Confessing about himself – his demons  ..  his weaknesses.   By doing so, he has sent out images and messages to the world about his REALself.    His HUMANself.  No longer an Angel – with or without wings.

But he is still A Beacon of Inspiration.   We prefer him this way.   Not just someone we blindly worshipped as Mr. Super Perfect.  Not just an entertainer.  Not just an American Idol.

 Also an Inspirer, Motivator, Influencer, Kindler of Light, Prompter, Awaker

And of course we will never forget THE VOICE! 

💜💙💚 😍😍😍😍😘😘

 

WE LOVE YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!
