The Revitalization of my Life-Day 38

When I knocked down that B.R.I.C.K, I just knew that everything was going to get better. Well, I was wrong. I ran into another brick wall. Excuse my French, but DAMN! Can I get a break between brick walls? It took me almost a month to knock down the first brick wall; there isn’t any telling how long it will take me to knock this one down. I am tired, my body is weary and my mind is shot. What am I to do? I have prayed till not only do my knees hurt, but my hands and eyes as well. I have asked God to give me a sign to let me know that I am in the clear of all this turmoil. I told him that I can't keep knocking these brick walls down back to back. My body won't allow me to do so.

As I was awaiting an answer my breath got short and I got very weak. Unable to move or even cry for help, I just laid there and thought that I was going to die. But then all of a sudden, I caught my breath and my strength came back. Then it hit me. I looked up to the sky and told him thank you for bringing me back to reality. You see, I could be dead and gone just that fast and then I wouldn't have to worry about knocking down a brick wall. He had provided me with everything that I needed to knock down every brick wall that I run up on. When things get hard, we have to get harder than our problem or issue. We can't let it get the best of us. Situations allow us to keep the strength of our faith strong. If we didn't exercise it, it wouldn't be as strong as we would need it to be when something BIG hit.

Whatever issue you have right now, take it to GOD and pray about. After praying about it, hit it harder than it hit you. What I mean by this is if your issue is a financial one, take the initiative and sacrifice eating out or doing anything extra to make up for the hit that you just encountered. If is a relationship issue and you just ended it, hit it harder by picking your feelings up and taking yourself out to eat or to a movie. You have to hit your issue harder than it hit you. You can’t be scared to face it and fight with the little weapons that you have, you have to give it all you have with what you have. David killed Goliath with a stone and a sling shot...find your sling shot and kill your Goliath.

The Revitilization of my Life-Day 37

It's been almost a month since the last time I posted anything in this blog. I was on a steady roll with blogging and doing things to better myself. Then all of a sudden, a B.R.I.C.K (Bringing Revitilization Inside Causing Knowledge) wall just came out of nowhere. I knew it was coming and I thought that I was prepared for it and it seems as if I wasn't. I made a vow to myself that I would continue this path I was on no matter what. I was focused for 36 days and then everything began to happen. Truth be told, things didn't get that bad, but it was just a lot of things came down on me at one time. My expectations were that maybe one or two things would happen and I would be able to handle it. I was hurt, disappointed and just downright angry at myself for falling off. There were times that I could have logged onto my computer and blog about my days but I was just too caught up into myself and my issues. But then one day I remembered what I told myself in an earlier blog-"Just keep thinking about what you want to do even if you don't do it." And that's what I kept doing daily. I would just keep thinking of what I wanted to write and what I wanted to accomplish and here I am.

Yeah, its 27 days later, but I am here and back at it. This is the reason why I chose to blog about revitalizing. It's because no matter what happens, you can always bounce back. The key to it is to never give up in your mind. There are times that your body will give out or give in, but as long as your mind is walking the path that you want your body to run you will manage to always get back on track. The trick to this is when you run into that brick wall; you know that you are very close to reaching you goal. For after every brick wall, there is a new road that hasn't been traveled yet and the street has your name on it. I just knocked down my brick wall and when I looked up at the sign, there it was, as big as day-K.J Swint. If there is a street sign with my name on it that must mean that the town with my name on it has to be nearby.

I am heading to a town with my name on it and in that town await my goals. So when you get to that brick wall, don't get discouraged, get excited for the end is almost near.
