On Tuesday, the same day, we were also able to do some high ropes! Most of us did the cat walk (you go up 30 feet and walk across a log), but some chose other options.
I was reminded how much your perspective changes when you are the one up on the log 30 feet above the ground! I went up there and wasn't sure if I could even do it! But then, I just kept telling myself to take it one step at a time (I assure you, they were very small steps!) and that it would feel real good when I was finished! Sure enough, it was an incredible feeling when I touched the ground again!
Since I did it myself, I was also able to relate well with the students who did it too. Isn't that also true in life?! When we go through difficult challenges and then see others experience those same challenges, we can encourage them and comfort them at a whole different level, can't we?!
We also had the awesome opportunity to do the "Trust Fall". One person would stand on an elevated platform and then fall backwards into the group's hands. After this activity, we discussed the principles of trust as well as being trust-worthy ourselves. Here's a question for you; are YOU trustworthy when someone is falling and depending on YOU to catch him or her?
