Almost cried in the middle of watching this cause I can really relate cause I also see my worth in my performance that when I fail i get super disappointed, frustrated and hard on my self and end up in moments of deep grief and feeling so unworthy. When I don't get to do what I planned to do I get so soak with fear and sometimes stop doing what I loved to do because of feeling depressed and even had those moments of anxiety attacks. Im ever thankful and Glad that God is working with me also. Assuring me that the talents He entrusted to me was all for His glory alone and my life should be driven to please Him not to please anyone or myself. Happiest Birthday Darla, May God continue to use your talents for His glory alone.
Happy Birthday Darla! I’ve only recently found your channel but have been listening to your music for a long time. First off, this video is visually and aesthetically stunning!!! I love how it looks, feels, and sounds, it’s been such a good and calm way to start my morning focused on God. Second, your message about performance is exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you so much Darla! It’s such a blessing to see God speak through you to others, including myself.
Wow…I sure can relate to what your saying and I am 55. Well…I don’t sing, song write, or produce…but everything else was true for me. I too was afraid of failure. Everyone else around me growing up put me on some pedestal because I was so good in sports in every area (mostly). When I came across a sport in gym class in H. S. that was hard for me to do, I just would take an incomplete so I would not have to fail in front of my peers. When I was in the military I still had this mentality. When I couldn’t do something really good, I didn’t tell anyone, I just froze and kept it to myself. When I failed a portion of my physical agility test, I was frozen in fear on what to do. I failed the push-ups portion. For those that do not know how boot camp in the Army goes, if you fail one part, you have to do it all over again. In 1988 that was the 2 mile run, push-ups, and the sit-ups. I was the only one in my unit whom failed. I wanted to run away because I was so afraid of failing! Long story short…I passed the second time around. I learned a lot about myself just in boot camp alone. I also failed the gun range test the first time around too…though the second time around I passed. I learned a lot about myself in boot camp and so that changed me some. I too came from a family where I felt I had to be perfect. I found out…only Jesus was perfect and that changed me forever. In 1997 I gave my life to Christ and his cause. Glory be to God!! 🙌🏻 **I love your story and your beautiful voice. Keep singing for Jesus. You should have so much much more subscribers and likes . ❤❤❤❤
Praise God for how He redeemed you from that 🥺 Isn't it such a wonderful thing that God redeems? I'm glad to hear too that despite your failures, you continued to try again. I believe that's a God-given inner strength. Thank you for the testimony and the kind words! God bless you!
I did watched this before, and thanks for mentioning this vid in the comments on the other vid. It is really insightful and seems to be for us a call to know God so much more through the bible. And by doing so, we should be able to know, understand, believe the promises and fulfillment of the God’s new covenant in Jesus blood and keep it as well.
Are you kidding me? This is so wholesome ngl I'm using your music and videos as a huge inspiration to me i came across your music just because i was weary from secular music and i fell in love not only the music but you and your whole journey it made me wanna make lyric videos and stuff too almost becoming competitive. Your video blessed me and i wanna make christian r&b too but im not from a musically inclined background but this video has blessed me alot thank you Darla ❤
This video is such a breath of fresh air. I really appreciate how openly you display your relationship with God; it's so encouraging to see other young people living for Jesus. Def subscribing to see more. Happy belated birthday, Darla!!
Happy birthday Darlinha (That's how we call our friends here in Brazil kkkkk) 😂❤ You are such a blessing to the nation, and that's just because you aren't looking forward pleasing people, but only seeking to make Jesus happy! You teach us in many ways and I pray that You may achieve all the dreams God has dreamed for you ❤
That was beautiful, I really enjoyed it! I'm so glad this exists! :) I really enjoyed seeing the love and joyousness coming from your friends and parents! 🥰 Truly Enjoyed!
I had the same convo with myself this passed week. I procrastinate because I’m afraid of failing and I don’t like to prioritize projects and take them too seriously because I may not be successful. Yet I can encourage others to give it their all. It’s quite contradicting and inwardly hypocritical because only God and I knew this, until now 🤷🏾♀️ I’m a hypocrite 😩 So thank you for your transparency and reiterating it. 😂 It’s exposing me and challenging me to trust God and improve. Happy birthday girl! May God continue to pour into you and may you continue to schedule dates with him so we can get some great tracks and insightful sessions!
Love this. From how you crossed out everything on your list to the nuances of your relationships with your family and friends as well as your struggles, insights and areas of growth over the years. Great gem of a punchline at the end on approval. Belated blessings to you once again sister. Wish I could’ve made it to that zoom sesh. Thank you for being real and vulnerable and sharing your testimony. Btw that’s dope you had Korean food and they even sang you happy bday in Korean 😝
In Manila is it more common to have a birthday week celebration, more than just a birthday? Or is it like a family tradition, or just a spontaneous thing that just kinda happened? X) I really enjoyed the video! 🧡
