Hey LoG :)
Hey LoG :)
Just felt like sharing something I've been thinking about lately. It all started I guess when melmel shared about what he felt was his vision for LoG and talked about how it would all be like in the future. He mentioned a lot of things like Kong's dream, attending each other's weddings where LoG would take up one huge table for ourselves :) and stuff like that. I can't exactly remember the things that he said but I do remember just trying to understand what it would be like and so I let my imagination run wild. I can recall very vividly that I was greatly overwhelmed with emotion at the images that came to my mind though I cannot exactly remember the image that appeared in my head (it was sort of like all of us going to church and each of us also with our own families and our kids all knowing each other.. something like that). I was almost moved to tears, which upon reflection sounds a bit ridiculous but I really was. In that moment, I realized just how badly I wanted that image in my head to be a reality. I realized just how much I would give to have that instant in the far flung possible future to be my present. But ultimately I also truly realized what was in that image which I so desperately craved. In that image, I saw love. Love in great and sheer abundance, freely given and freely received. It was that vision of love that left me wanting, it left me hollow, for it showed me truly how hollow I was. I think perhaps it was God's message to me, to remind me once again what it is that I truly want and what I am fighting for.
This realisation did not occur at once and even now I am trying to fully grasp the message but I think I know now what my dreams are or at least what they are about. I shall continue dreaming then to remind myself of what my ultimate destination of my journey is. I will do my best everyday to remember this message and to live it as much as I can. During my times of struggles I shall recall that they are not truly struggles, for they are but stepping stones on my stairway to heaven and ultimately they get me where I want to go.
I shall dream then, till my dreams become reality.
Love,
Andrew
