Up high...
Random thought of the day: "Why are the high places so tough and lonely?"
I guess weariness played a part in dampening my spirits last night. But it did brought this random thought into mind. The high places are often places that are lonesome and tough to endure. It's like getting to the top of a high mountain and staying there. At first the mountain-top experience makes you go all light headed and excited. Your spirits are high and you're all happy about being at the top of the world. However that thought changes when you start to stay at that spot. As the days and weeks and months go by, you start to feel all alone. The air is thin so living gets tough as each day goes by. Lack of oxygen makes you feel that you're suffocating. Your body goes weary real quick and you're just so tired. I guess that kinda sums up what I was thinking about.
All this was random but definitely not without context. Was just thinking of the position that God put me in. As a CGL and Area Overseer, with great responsibilities and much more things to handle. At first it may seem like such a glorious thing. Makes one feel so excited and enthusiastic about it. But then, as the days go by, it gets tougher. Trying to juggle between personal growth and ensuring the growth of the youths in the area, and helping the other CGLs in the area along. On top of that, trying to ensure that what I'm doing ain't something out of routine or merely to fulfill my religious obligations, but to be sincerely interested in the lives of the youths and loving them with the love of God.
I suppose time and again a leader would feel this way, since we're all on our own mountain tops trying to live the life that God has put us into. And I think relying on God to provide us with the energy and spiritual sustenance is the key to surviving on the mountain tops. Of cos, we can always shout from one peak to the other once in awhile to check on each other, giving each other encouragements and support. =p
Haha.. End of random thought. ;-p

Well,i guess so far there's only three of us that has climbed our mountain tops. And if you get what i mean,the lack of oxygen will make us less able to shout at each other across gradually. Better establish cable wires to each other.
You know who.:)
