Several years ago, I got an opportunity to see Mt. Bromo in East Java, Indonesia for the first time in my life. It was a tremendous experience to path up to the mountain. The closer we get to the top, the more humble we become.
In mount climbing, it is critical to have a sure footing before going to another level; else we slip and slide back several levels. A bad fall can end with serious wounds that take a long time to heal and seriously delay the journey.
There is a need to stay at each plateau long enough to learn what God is teaching us. Moving too quickly can be dangerous. Our zeal or our want-it-now mentality can make us want to take a helicopter shortcut to the top in order to skip levels. But the climb is an important step-by-step learning experience. Remember, the most attractive shortcut lead to disaster.
This sensation urge me to witness the beauty of Mt.Aconcagua, Andes in Argentina. Aconcagua is the highest mountain in the Americas at 6,962 m (22,841 ft). But of course the path to this mountain is nothing compare to Mt.Bromo and requires many exercise beforehand.
From my calculation, it will take 5 years (2016) to prepare myself to go to the summit.
Let’s make this happen as well, just like any other projects in my life. My live my bloody adventure.
