The Revitalization of my Life-Day 23

Today feels like it's going to be a good day. My performance last night was GREAT! The audience really liked what I had to say. I was extremely nervous, but I made it through without a hiccup. While I was speaking I was thinking to myself that it's amazing how a person's words can affect people. As I was speaking I glanced at the audience and saw smiles on some people faces and on others I saw a glow that stated, "I am enjoying every word that comes out of your mouth." This moment brought me to this thought, "If words are this powerful and we know it, why don't we use them more to uplift people everyday?"

I pondered this question all night and the only thing that I could come up with were two reasons. One is that some of us really don't know how powerful words are and we just don't care how we use them. Or two, some people just don't know how to use the words and the people that do are gifted with the talent of placing the right words with each other to make beautiful music that has no harmony, no tune, no nothing except a voice. I was told last night that I have a gift. Not just to write, but to speak what I write. For a while I have been in denial about this. I was just thinking friends were being friends and just trying to encourage me to do something they thought I liked doing. But as I watched an audience of people who didn't know me from Adam, focus on every syllable, noun, adjective and verb, I figured that my friends might be right, I might have a gift. I have been utilizing it to the fullest by posting to this blog everyday (or everyday I can). I have also been utilizing it by writing poems for people that I know and don't know and framing it for them.

I just thank God for my talent and I try to make myself better at it everyday. I didn't work out today, but I am taking notes and writing from the heart and I think that this might not only be revitalizing just my life, but maybe someone who reads this. In order to put more focus into my writing, I think I am going to make a vow right now. I am going to make a vow to put my cell phone on lock! From the time I get home to the time I go to bed, there will be no usage of my cell phone unless it is necessary (meaning it's business or family that really needs me). I was told by an old lady that if you have talent, you better use it or else God will take it away from you. I hear this lady's voice in my head every morning just as plain as if she were sitting right in front of me telling me this. Don't worry Mrs. Lady, I am going to use my talent so that God won't take it away from me.
