I just read an article on being God's ArmorBearer, and boy am I blown away. The first thing is that being an ArmorBearer ain't gonna be an easy job. It requires FULL submission to the leader placed above you. Personally it isn't easy for me, being a person used to getting things done my way and being known to be exceptionally blunt and adamant about how certain things are run. But hey, if I cannot even over come this things, humble myself, swallow my pride etc and submit myself to my leader, how can I ever expect myself to be able to rise up to be a leader on my own?

My thing that really impacted me was how an ArmorBearer was to be a source of strength to the leader. Its like in a war ya know. An officer charging into battle would wanna lead a platoon of High Morale troops into battle and it is up to the people under him to rally the troops, boost their morale and present them battle ready. An ArmorBearer shouldn't be another burden to the leader. But rather be a strong individual that can stand his own ground. This is really what I believe that I should strive to achieve. There are many other duties/functions of being an ArmorBearer. But this one stood out the most to me. I cannot say that I have been fulfilling all the required duties but hey, I can say that I am doing my best to be the best there is.

An important thing I noted was how important it is to have good communication between the leader and the armorbearer and also how a strong trust between them must exist. Personally the communication part is tough, since I ain't the very "communicable" type (dependent on situation and opposite party's personality i guess, since I can be very "mad" sometimes), but experiences have taught me how important it is. An event of when I just could not take it and just exploded bluntly (but in a civil and controlled manner) is still etched firmly in my mind and I do not wish of that EVER happening again. That event taught me how important it was to communicate with the leader. I am still trying and God I pray I can really improve on that.

Got much to write but alas time is in lack. Got 2 tests on Thurs and Fri. I think I am gonna go do them by faith liao. haha............Laters. /salute
