2009-03-02T12:39:00.005-06:00

so...i would just like to "share'' something with you about what has gone on this weekend, because i feel that i need to get it off my chest.So it all started out on Friday morning when I was required to get up for an 8 oclock class. This wouldn't be so bad if there were other classes that I needed to attend that day, but nooooo...I just have one class on Friday...and it just so happens to be at

it's your monkey.

2009-02-26T22:19:00.003-06:00

well i hope you checked out that song from a couple posts ago. seriously. if you haven't go do it. mk. this is a passage that i would like to anotate for you all just cause i read it today and thought "oh i'll anotate that for my peeps" (all 5 of you)i'm just gonna move verse by verse and throw in my two cents (it's a good thing its just my two cents cause i'm just a college kid..i'm not

how he loves.

2009-02-24T17:36:00.003-06:00

mk. this song has been going thru my mind since like probably 3 weeks ago. so i am going to share it with you.How He Lovesby: John Mark McMillianHe is jealous for me.Loves like a hurricane,I am a tree,bending beneaththe weight of His wind and mercy.When all of a suddenI am unaware of theseafflictions eclipsed by gloryAnd I realize just how beautiful You areAnd how great Your affections are for

pure awesomeness.

2009-02-18T21:17:00.004-06:00

alright. i promised that i would blog about my moment in the gymnasium of working out. so let me just "share" with you.so i prepared myself to go up there...you know do some pre-workout yoga..stuff. as you can tell i am a seasoned workoutter....haha ok maybe not but the gym definately smelled like it had been seasoned with amonia. now i'm no rocket scientist but i do believe the fumes of amonia

waddaya want me to do 'bout it?

2009-02-12T22:31:00.002-06:00

So many times I have asked this question. It may not be politically correct, it might not even be good enough to qualify as politically INcorrect but I do, I ask this question so many times. Just like a kid walking through the grocery store and walking by the candy aisle…all you hear is “Can I get some? Can I get some? Can I get some? I’ll let you have some of mine. Can I

did you mess yourself?

2009-02-08T22:42:00.003-06:00

Boy! I can't even begin to tell yall all the stories and life lesson's I learned this weekend so if you really wanna know ask. But i do have something to fill yall in on. So the past couple weeks I have really been stressin' out. I mean REALLY stressin'. It all began two Saturdays ago when I totally put my focus and attention on something other than God and it just started to snowball. The minute

2009-01-29T23:09:00.005-06:00

I would run from YouStill You called me to be yoursYour grace and your mercyOverwhelmed me.And in the stillness of this momentGive me faith like a childDraw me nearer to Your heart,Near to Your heart,Immerse me in, Your righteousnessYour steadfast love,Break me and make me a new creature in youAnd see that my heart is yours.You said, "Come to me,All you who are wearyAnd burdened,And I'll give you

2009-01-26T22:00:00.003-06:00

YOU DON'T HAVE ONE IF YOU CAN'T LAUGH AT YOURSELF!!! haha ok so here it goes..brace yourself!!!so i arrive down here in the good ol' South and i'm chillin and minding my own beeswax. i had been down here just only about an hour since madre and fasha left

"I've covered every bit of it"

2009-01-23T19:25:00.003-06:00

So I have been really convicted these past couple of weeks and it definately showed this Thursday night. I feel that I have been very stagnant in my walk...I know we all have been there but the problem was that I "didn't feel like doing anything about it at the time." Basically I was saying I'll do this on my own time (not even thinking that I might not have time) and shoving God off to the side

they're up!

2009-01-20T14:39:00.005-06:00

FINALLY!!! and that's how i feel about that. since i was a newb here at school i had to come today and then everyone else really was going to come tomorrow. sooooo i am the only on in my room. and

2009-01-02T01:44:00.003-06:00

four-eyes.

2008-12-30T23:46:00.003-06:00

mk. so here's my beef. what i dreaded would happen has indeed happened. i have become a "four-eyes."now for the longest time (which is a great song by the way) i have not gone to the eye doctor for this very reason. i knew i had visionary issues butt (which is what is enlarging on my posterior for all the "christmas cookies" and such that i have devoured) i did not want to got into a doc, and pay

please have your sanhedrin card ready at the door.

2008-12-13T00:24:00.004-06:00

i have been really stressed the past couple of weeks in dealing with finals and i would unload all my beef about my papers and how they make me want to punt a professor but i will hold back and not share with you about all my papers and how they make me want to punt a professor. to all you professors out there, it's nothing personal really, except for maybe not factoring sleep into your equations

tis the season part 2

2008-12-05T18:54:00.001-06:00

i just wanted to say something about something i mentioned yesterday. i love charlie brown. poor guy, he's the most depressed person i have ever seen in my life. he so depressed he won't even change his shirt. i know there's a crewneck sweatshirt in his closet with a great big santa clause on the front of it with a poofy white cotton ball thing on the end of santa's hat. i know he has one! he's

tis the season part 1

2008-12-05T01:14:00.002-06:00

soooo as everyone has been reminded time and time again before 3 am on black friday that this is the wonderful holiday season. the season where everyone puts on their happy faces while rushing through the malls and department stores shoving people out of the way. the season of smashing old feeble ladies into the clothes rack while sprinting towards the blenders. tis the season to trample store

be a slushy.

2008-11-30T01:50:00.004-06:00

i just came to the realization tonight (or this morning...which ever you prefer) while i was driving home from seein' some of my besties about what my life should be looking like. it was snowing substantially and the "mush" was beginning to accumulate on the road. and then i remembered that i absolutely HATE to walk in that stuff. I HATE IT!!! mush and canvas shoes do not go well together. it's

a man's soap opera.

2008-11-26T21:42:00.002-06:00

for the longest time i thought women and people that followed soap opera's were rediculous when they would talk about the characters like they just finished having a heart to heart with the person. i know there's going to be some girl reading this and be like:"joey, that is just not true! you are a heartless, narscisistic, ignorant boy who knows nothing of what kenny and bebe are going through

more than just a mission trip.

2008-11-25T12:13:00.003-06:00

i have been thinking alot about jamaica the past couple of weeks. really since i came back from the trip, but more recently since i came back from my visit to south carolina and saw all the wonderful people that adopted me for that week and made me a part of their group with no strings attatched. by the second day they had renamed their group Westside Church and Joey. how's that for special! that

lord of lords.

2008-11-24T18:38:00.003-06:00

Lord of lords.by Brooke FraserBeholding Your beauty is all that I long for.To worship You, Jesus is my soul desire.For this very heart, You have shaped for Your pleasure,purposed to lift Your name higher.Here in surrender, in pure adoration,I enter Your courts with an offering of praise.I am Your servant, come to bring You glory,as is fit for the works of Your handsNow unto the Lamb who sits on

so you had a bad day...

2008-11-22T23:11:00.003-06:00

I don’t know about you but when I have a bad day I become really ticked off. You know what I mean? The whole day is ruined. And I don’t get the joy of going through the whole day having a chip on my shoulder. No. The little catalyst that sets off my bad day doesn’t come until around the middle of the day or later. I know that you know exactly what I mean. I’m a walking

bowties and tucked in sweaters.

2008-11-20T23:56:00.005-06:00

i was laughing and thinking to myself today while i was in my car going to work at what sunday mornings used to consist of. you know. the kind that you thought baby Jesus had abandoned you in your time of need because your parent's made you wear that blue bowtie, the red suspenders, blue oxford short sleeve shirt, and osh kosh kahkis (made in taiwan) and then those little church shoes. i will say

turtle's playing twister

2008-11-19T22:29:00.004-06:00

why can't it make up it's mind. don't you hate it when your mind can't make up itself? it's like a turtle that play's twister--it doesn't matter what colored circle it decides to put itself on it's going to take fooooooooorrrrreeeeeeeeevvvvvvvveeeeeeerrrrrrrr for it to get there. thank God for people with pretty decision making skills. it's right up there with the best--like bow-hunting skills

stalkers unite!

2008-11-19T00:06:00.004-06:00

mk this just came to me and i'm not sure how i feel about it.you know on facebook how there are advertisements on the sides (some inappropriate..well actually most i would say are inappropriate) so when you are scrolling you get your week's worth of spam email that's not even email flashing in front of your eye balls? well there was this one that came up and i'm not sure how i feel about it.

the more i seek you.

2008-11-13T22:26:00.002-06:00

haha well folks sorry bout the wait. i was outta town for a week and tryin to get back in the swing of things. i am going to try to do this on more of a daily basis though.these are words to one of my favorite songs.The more I seek You,The more I find You.The more I find You,The more I love You.I want to sit at Your feet, drink from the cup in your hand. Lay back against You and breathe,feel Your

will the real driver of the pinto please stand up.

2008-11-04T16:49:00.003-06:00

so i'v been thinking about this frequently the past couple of days. Try contentment on for size. Doesn't always fit so well does it? You might say "Yeah, I'm content. Duh!" but as soon as someone drives up in their brand new shiny off the showoom floor lexus, or mercedes, or what have you I know most people don't go "Ah that's just swell! I'm so happy for that person I could cry tears of joy!" no

wat-a-question!

2008-10-22T18:11:00.002-05:00

lately i've been pondering this verse...you might have noticed it on my facebook since that tells everyone about everything whether you like it or not haha but anyway here it is:"Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth? Tell me, if you know all this." - Job 38:18*in the passage God was talking to Job after one of Job's friends was telling him what all needed to happen and why things

go iron a pair of pants.

2008-10-14T23:54:00.002-05:00

mk. sooooo these past couple have weeks have been pretty rough...more exhausting but i'm glad that i had to deal with it all (i still am). God does some awesome things when you are at your lowest, and it's funny how long it takes you to give up and just give it over to Him. i don't know why it takes me so long to admit that i'm a dork yet God is so good and gracious and waits till my heart is

he was no dunskee.

2008-09-23T01:27:00.004-05:00

alright. if you are a christopher walken fan then you neeeeeeeed to watch this. it cracks me up.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vNk4K3YaIcyou'll be glad you did.

as stated above.

2008-09-17T22:16:00.012-05:00

Without words of elegance,my one desire is to expresshow Your passion and Your lovehas made me new.When I see an angel in a childs faceand in one worn by years I see a steadfast faithI know it could only be a lovethat comes from You.I want to singof a matchless love that's unconditioned.I want the world to know,that there is hopefor the broken and for the unmentioned.The God of all grace has made
