Everyone remembers this date at least those who were born years before this date. Since I became a first responder I have noticed a lot of first responders have done the stair climb. I am also going to do the stair climb this year as well but I am going to take it to the next level. I have challenged myself to walk not only the 110 floors of both towers that is about 220 floors but I have also challenged to walk the total miles of 9.11.2001, I started it in December and I have just about reached the first milestone I lack about 25 miles to reaching the first 100 miles. This week I want to walk the 100 miles and so far yesterday and today both I have made a good dent in reaching the first milestone, even though I still 20 some miles left to reach it I want to reach it before Friday or by Friday and today I have already walked half of what I need to walk and Since I started it, I looked back on it and it has been an eye opener for me. Not only because of the event itself but because of the impacted that it had on America and it has slowly changed how I view life. And in doing this challenge I am getting back in shape but it is also changing how I train and how I look at everything. I want everyone who reads this to join me.

“Being in the army is like being in the boy scouts, except that the boy scouts have adult supervision- Blake Clark” In the military, each branch has a certain way they train; And even a certain way they maintain their armor. As Christians, we also have armor. Ephesians 6:10-11 KJV “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11.Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Here we find that we are to put on the whole armour of God not just half of it but the whole armour, and each part of the armour protects us in different areas, of our spiritual life.  The army studies it’s enemy, and learns and plans, how they are going to attack the enemy. As Christians do we plan how we are going to battle the enemy or do we just blindly attack the enemy’s camp without a plan and without armour? Most of us do, and we end up drifting farther and farther away from God, instead of praying and seeking, and planning our attack on the enemy, we end up failing and losing the battle. Many of us today lose battles in our spiritual battle because we have lost our armour we have set it down and go into battle without our armour. it’s time as Christians to fight and repair our armour and start winning the battle.

In life we all find it difficult, sometimes life has a way of teaching us things. Even when we think that life is going pretty well,each of us could tell a story or two about life; Life sometimes is hard, and we often face difficult choices in life. But what makes life worth something?What is the meaning of life and how can we overcome those difficult problems that life like to throw at us. Well let’s look at life, in a year there’s 365 days, 525,600 minutes in a year, 8,760 hours in a year, and 3.154e+7 seconds in a year. Now what if we break that down even more, there’s 24 hours in a day, 86,400 seconds in a day, 1,440 minutes in a day.  Now when you look at a day verses a year there’s a big difference, because in one year there’s 8,760 hours and in one day there’s only 24 hours. All that comes to one thing time. But what is time, and how can we use time to fit in as much as we want to. What if i said that one day compared to eternity, the way we live our life down here effects more then time it effects everything, time is just that time but eternity is forever. Let’s look at a few different bible verses that talk about time: the first verse is “Genesis 1:1-2  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” Right here is where time began in the beginning everything has a beginning and everything has an end, what we do from the time we are born until the day we die, is our time line; Everything has a time line, and that time line is a date or dates in which events take place.  “Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, for seasons, and for days, and years:” So God made time, we find that time will go on forever time doesn’t stop it doesn’t speed up or slow down some stays the same, but we alot of times life to speed up time, and rush everything. We live our life in a fast pace world where we don’t have time to slow down and we often times miss what’s important around us. Because we are living in a fast pace world where we don’t slow down and take a break.Everything has a time when we get in a hurry we often miss important things. Sometimes we have to slow down and take a break and look around or we might just miss something important.

Many people in the world,don’t fully understand the value of money;To be honest with you I didn’t fully understand the value of a dollar until I started paying close attention to how much money I spend a week. What if I told you that you can save an extra 25.00 dollars a month by doing two things,the first thing is every time you break a dollar,and get change back save the pennies,dimes,nickles,and quarters and over time what looks small by saving it,it will add up over time. 4 quarters makes a dollars  10 dimes makes a dollars 20 nickles makes a dollar  100 pennies makes a dollar So each time you break a dollars when you get change back put that change in a jar or a coffee can or a jug and over time you’ll see just how much you can save. Now the second thing is find where your money goes to,for me I found out that most of my money goes to eating out and buying drinks out of vending machines and i found that when i added both of them up i was spending in 14 days over 150.50 in 14 days so start this week i’m going to buy enough food and things for work to do me for a month and see just how much extra money i have left over in that month.What may seem small can add up. A little bit of advice if you have a savings account figure out how much you need for the importance like bills,gas,and grocery’s by figuring out just how much you need to live on in a month can help you budge your week out even though it may seem small at first over time you’ll find that you have more money at the end of the month then you realized you had for me i found that if i put 25 dollars in saving every 2 weeks then i have enough money for gas in a week and by doing that i also find that when i don’t get the hours that i need one week i can borrow from myself in that one week that i don’t have enough hours. Now money can either be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how much you spend out in a week see for me most of my money goes to,gas,nicotine,eating out,and buying drink out of the vending machines but i found that by cutting back on how much i vape,by watching every dime i spend and by packing my lunch i have about a 100 left over in two weeks now to most people a 100 dollars is nothing but to me who lives pay check to pay check a 100 dollars means the difference from paying my monthly bills or not paying my monthly bills.

What if for a moment in time you could travel back in time, what are some of the things you would change? This I know sounds like a really stupid question, but what if can change your world. See there’s 24 hour in a day 365 days in a year and 30 days in a month; Now if every day we tell ourselves today i’m going to change the world and i’m going to give changing the world a 100%, simple right, well in a way yeah it’s very simple but in a way it’s very difficult because in those 30 days what are we actually doing to change the world are we giving everything a 100% or are we falling short of it?  Up until the beginning of November I was only giving what i thought was a 100% but I found out that a 100% means more then just barely studying something or barely working it means willing to get down where the rubber meets the road and getting down and dirty and working hard to see the changes that you want to see in your life and in your work it means being willing to work hard and try your best even if you fail it means studying everyday and willing to challenge what you’ve learned it means working hard to who God made you to be it means working hard to change one life. But what if that question was easy to answer then the what if question would probably get over looked alot of times and maybe be difficult to see the answer.at times but the what if is probably for me one of the hardest questions to answer because I ponder about it alot.

“I talk about my team alot.i feel like people are the most important part of the puzzle”By Erica Enders Stevens. There’s alot of reasons i picked a quote from my favorite driver to start off this series of be an inspiration with in 2003 Disney made a movie about her and i’ve watched that movie since Disney first aired it on tv.Her dream was to Race and she started out racing jr dragsters and now she races pro-stock in the nhra series. Erica Enders Stevens followed her dreams everyone should follow their dreams no matter what Because dreams do come true.In 2019 i started going after my dreams and even though it’s not been easy but now almost 3 years i’m starting to see my dreams come true.it’s been difficult it’s been hard it’s been challenging it’s been learning alot and studying alot.and even though i’ve got to retake the course over i believe that this time i’m going to pass all my tests i’m going to work hard and study hard and apply myself and work harder then i did before. No matter what your dream is no matter what challenges you’ll face in going after your dreams work hard and apply yourself and make your dreams come true.

Over the past couple of weeks i’ve been doing alot of thinking about somethings and about making a hashtag and i don’t know if someone has made this a hash tag or not but if they did then someone else’s hash tag is going to get used alot because i’m going to try something for a few weeks i’m going to share alot of inspirational quotes and alot of quotes and talk about alot of different people that i look up to and people who are my heroes and different things and my goal is to encourage and help encourage people.

what does test me prove me mean?test me,means that when you want to see what you’ve learn and how much you’ve learned you test your knowledge on a set thing you test how much you learned in a week or in a month or in a few days you test it and then when you have tested it you then prove what you’ve learned and you gain a new skill in that you can do what you have been studying on and you have proved what you’ve learned.about 2 years ago God gave me a thought that rocked my world and that tought was test me prove me and it was simple challenge but it’s one that i’ve stopped and i’ve taken a break from a few times but it’s one that i’ve found to have an impact on how i look at life because test me prove me goes deeper then i thought and i’ve learned alot by doing that challenge.

And even though i’ve got a lot of work to do i believe that God is able to help me through these next couple of weeks and i believe God is going to do something great this week and next week because i’m trusting in God and i believe that with God all things are possible.

Over the past year I've learned more in the last year then I did in the past 10 years of my life because I would learn a new skill and use the skill practice the skill and learn more about the skill then before. When I started working at Wal-Mart the first skill I learned was productive and the second skill is the needs of the costumers come before your needs. Your work ethic your productive your word is important when you work rather its part time,full time or temp your work ethic is important improving and trying harder means more to the one who hired you then you know because when you work harder try harder people will take notice will see that your trying will see that you have what it takes to over come any challenge any obstacle any situation that happens. Now I've noticed that I've seen a lot of challenges come up at work that over time I've seen how to solve those problems how to over come those things. I've found how to get my job done in a short time but it took time to do it and it takes time but I've found that when I work harder and harder each day management says I do a good job I try harder and harder to get the things done that I need to get done I try to work hard each day to do my part and not just my part but the parts of everyone who needs help ill help pull there weight. Each day work not to achieve a pay check but work to achieve a goal I set hard goals over the past couple of weeks that to some are stupid but I've noticed that working towards each goal I've seen that it has helped me in a lot of areas. The first goal I've set is try to break the world record in temple run 2 now that goal is hard because it's a high score that I have yet to reach but I believe that I can break it and set it even higher.and the second goal is walk at least a 1,000,000 steps in a week now that one is the hardest goal I've set because I have to walk non-stop to reach that goal.but with trying each week to do it I've learned a lot.Now the last goal is one that isn't difficult but it's challenging because the last goal is to pay my car down to 600 dollars from 5,017 dollars now it's possible to do it but it takes time.

My story starts out like everyone else's I born to a loving family I lived in my childhood home till I was about 8 or 9 years old then we moved to east Tennessee where I live now and have lived for almost 10 years. Now to save time I'm going to jump ahead my first job was at a music story in the mall called music masters I loved it didn't make a lot of money but loved working there it gave me a little work experience that I carried over to where I work at now. Let's skip forward a little bit more April 11th almost 4 years now I've been at Wal-Mart I love it I've worked in just about every department in Wal-Mart I started out 4 years ago on cap 2 unloading and stocking shelves and then got moved to maintenance now a lot of people think that it was a bad move but instead I made the best at it then got trained as a cashier to help out more in the store and more training but instead I moved to cart pusher/stockmen it has its ups and downs but I love it.Because I get to see how much work I can get done in an 8 hour shift. Now let's jump forward to last year I started working towards my dream job of becoming a first responder I love it I started volunteering at a local volunteer fire department and I've learned a lot over the year and I'm still learning with each day I learn more and more. Yesterday I started working on something that I need to improve on and that's organisation because I wasn't really organized where I can take pride in accomplishing something so yesterday I worked on getting my car organized and cleaned and once I was done I felt good about what I had done because I seen how it can effect everything I do. Now let's look at it from a different angle your work ethic speaks louder then words do at times because if you have a good work ethic good attitude and patience you can go places and do things that before seemed impossible but when you start working towards them they no longer look impossible but possible because your setting goals and working towards those goals. For me I set a 10 year goal the first year start setting goals and working towards the 10 year goal its already been a year and I've already finished half of the things that I set out to finish the second year which I started this June and going to finish next June is set goals this year that I would like to see accomplished next year.which I did I set really hard goals for this year and I plan on finishing each one by June of next year. The last goal that I've yet to get is my CPR training which I plan on sometime this year getting it and working towards starting college in the fall and hopefully finish most if not all of it in 2 years because I believe that if I work hard on the goals that I've set I believe I can reach all of them before next year.
