how he loves.

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 Loves

by: John Mark McMillian

He is jealous for me.

Loves like a hurricane,

I am a tree,

bending beneath

the weight of His wind and mercy.

When all of a sudden

I am unaware of these

afflictions eclipsed by glory

And I realize just how beautiful You are

And how great Your affections are for me.

Oh, how He loves us so.

Oh, how He loves us.

How He loves us so.

Yeah, He loves us,

Oh, how He loves us,

Oh, how He loves us,

Oh, how He loves!

We are His portion,

And He is our prize.

Drawn to redemption by

The grace in His eyes

If grace is an ocean we're all sinking.

So heaven meets earth

Like a sloppy wet kiss,

And my heart turns violently inside of my chest.

I don't have time to maintian these regrets,

When I think about the way...

I personally like the version of Kim Walker singing it but John Mark's version is just as good. actually just listen to em both. just do it alright? i'll help you out. i'm just tagging the kim walker version but both are good. How He Loves. just turn up the volume close your eyes and just listen to the whole thing strait thru. no interruptions. i mean turn it up LOUD.

on another note GOOD NEWS for those who are wondering i now have full use of my legs again after gym night last week. it was a struggle to regain function but after falling out of bed the morning after i decided i was not going to do that again so in turn i learned to walk again. my face is eternally grateful for that decision.

THAT'S RIGHT FOLKS IT'S BACK!!!!!

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 are hazardous to your health. but amonia was the least of my worries. 

i go in there and it's a cute little gym...actually it is a bit intimidating...and i head strait to the treadmill. "brilliant" i thought to myself, "something that i might be able to do and look good at" because i am so concerned for my "physical wellness" (what does that even mean anyway...just call it PE!!)--please my physical wellness goes like this:

"well it looks like i can lift that taco up to my mouth without straining myself."

so anyways. i get on this treadmill and i was soon to find out that the amonia smell was the least of my worries. a guy who was walkin' around the place like he was all that and a bag of chips...like he owned the place...gets on the treadmill next to me. the shere intensity of the AXE body spray that he had BATHED in almost knocked me off the treadmill. i had to run for 35 minutes holding my breath thanks to mr. hunk-o-cheese. well anyway so i'm running and the cheeseman is running next to me and he starts pushing all these buttons AND THEN THE TREADMILL STARTED TO RAISE UP LIKE SOMETHING IN A SCI-FI but the back end stayed down. DID YOU KNOW THEY COULD SIMULATE INCLINES IN A STATIONARY MANNER!!!!! genious. well i couldn't help that my brain started working overtime and that guy began to look more and more like the yodler climing up the mountain on The Price Is Right. and i did my best to control myself because i'm not the best at multi-tasking and i was on a stationary-moving treadmill belt so to laugh would no doubt mean a broken nose and maybe a few missing limbs...haha maybe even my face (you just never know with those kinds of situations). well it was at the point where i thought i had gotten myself under control when the Big Cheese looks at me and gives me the head toss back gesture as to say "check me out. pure awesomeness" but as he did that i still had the little yodler in my mind and i almost lost it. well praise God that the dude saw a lady on the bicycle so he left and i could continue enduring unneccessary pain. 

after seeing "the man" make his treadmill go up and down...i decided i wanted to do that. fail. it went up and i continued--no matter how hard i was running--to gradually move down to the bottom of the treadmill. i figured i had had my fun w/ the incline mechanism and i was not going to let it take my life so lowered said treadmill and kept on chuggaluggin' along. 

well thank God that was over! after not really donig any physical excercise for 6 months or so, the toll it takes on you is GINORMOUS!!!! rediculous to say the least. i mean really. whose idea was it to have PE in college anyways!?! dumb dumbs!!! didn't they know that i don't do that kinda stuff anymore!?! well needless to say i survived. if i didn't i would not be blogging this to you. but i will say that i think God sent me a sign tonight. when i was walking back to my room there was lightning everywhere and i just feel that that was God saying i don't need to go back and do that anymore cause i paid my dues. i might be reading into the weather a little more than i probably should but hey whatever gets me outta PE i'm for it. baha.

i'm not a hater, so i'm not hating on PE, or the PE coach, or even the gym in which i had to go fulfill my duty as a student of PE class...but i don't so much appreciate recieveing a grade for my performance in PEE!!! haha buuuuutt i survived and i will probably go back again to show that CHEESE MEISER who's BOSS!!!!

Jesus Loves You!!! :)

waddaya want me to do 'bout it?

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 get some? Huh? Huh?” 

I employ this question to get out of things and crucial conjunctions such as making decisions for other people about what flavor to start with first while eating a Bomb Pop, or when asked why I don’t do dope and how I’ve ruined their lives cause I didn’t use or abuse or have any on me to donate to their cause I just belt out, “Weeelll waddaya want me to do ‘bout it?”

            Lately the tables have turned. Not with my doper friend or with the indecisive Popsicle eater but with one who is much bigger than me, much stronger than me (cause we all know I hate to work out in the first place), and one that is more powerful than me (BAHAHA—that’s a given). I have been finding myself getting myself into spots—spots I could have easily avoided getting into mind you—and then taking my problem to God and in a whiney nasally voice complaining, “fix it,” and God answers “Weeelll waddaya want me to do ‘bout it?”

            To be quite honest, I wonder if He ever feels like the maid: “I just cleaned up this mess. Can you not just keep it clean for 10 MINUTES?” (a reference to The Incredibles and still valid). I do things like get on my Mac first thing when I get up before I talk to God, maybe even think about Him, or I let something like fear take over and control me and how my systems operate rather than let Him be in control. All these things are completely avoidable yet I still, continuously—like a lemming following itself—keep putting myself into this position of being screwed (I’m not a very politically correct person) and I want God to fix everything and I just want to sit back and watch.

            There is a problem with that mindset. You’re not the brightest crayon in the box if you think that God is just gonna fix something and not expect you to contribute anything (like putting forth an effort to change your behavior). Yes He loves you but if you are a parent or want to be a parent, would you let your child take a ball bat to the urn holding Grandma Edna’s ashes or to break a window in the neighbor’s house and not expect them to work for some compensation—even if it was an accident? No, you would want to instill in your child a sense of responsibility (otherwise they turn out to be 3^rd in line for president and asking for 200 billion dollars of taxpayer money in condoms to educate children). Please ignore that which was in the parentheses because I was just venting. Back to the subject though, there is a responsibility that we need to take as Christians. We definitely don’t have a free ride. We are to be examples to the world. What kind of example is a whiney 20 year-old telling someone else to clean up after them. It’s called not being apathetic. Something that the Christians today are not doing a very good job with—myself being the ringleader!

            I have found myself to just sit back and expect God to do things, which he does no doubt about it! Bahaha HE DOESN’T NEED JOEY CALDWELL TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING THAT HE WANTS TO DO! But how we are called to “GO” and make disciples, and “BE” examples and if God’s gonna be doing all these amazing things through people, HOW MUCH MORE INCREDIBLE WOULD IT BE FOR GOD TO USE YOU AND ME TO ACCOMPLISH HIS WILL!!!! Now again God doesn’t need our permission to do anything but is your heart willing? As someone that leads worship occasionally I would rather have someone who’s heart is in it and has that passion and heart of worship, then someone with the talent but no display that He is Lord in their life. God’s really been working on my heart and continually pointing out my apathy and I am striving that God would take away my apathy and that I would be willing and comfortable to be uncomfortable.

            Are you comfortable with being uncomfortable? I am praying that God would break my heart and my apathy and that I would be wholly obedient and on fire and willing to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. How ‘bout you?

did you mess yourself?

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 I took my eyes off God, the little red man (and no i'm not talking about santa clause) started to plant little fear seeds in me. They were really REALLY small at first and I didn't think much about them but they quickly started controling my life. I mean these things got WAAYYYYY OUT OF HAND. They started to take control and weigh me down..literally and figuratively. It eventually reached a point where I was really wondering if I was saved or not. And on Wednesday last week I hit a BRICK WALL. On Wednesday the chapel speaker "coincidently" (which is another way of sayin' it was all God's plan) spoke on assurance of salvation and the LOVE of God. He specifically talked to the people that were strugglin' with their salvation. I felt like I was the only on in the room that was dealing with this but God was definately workin' on my heart.

After the chapel service I husseled myself back to my room. It was 30 degrees and my room was a half mile down the hill from the chapel and needless to say i didn't stop for anyone or anything. I got in my room and I immediately hit the floor. Seriously. I honestly felt like ther was a ton of bricks on my back. And I just cried out to God. I didn't know what the deal was at the time but whatever it was I wanted God to fix it. And God just flashed the word "fear" in front of my eyes. And I knew what I had to do. I just started making a list of all the fears I let take over my life especially in the past week and a half. These were some of the ones listed:

*fear of rejection/failure/disappointment

- from my friends, family,  and God

*fear that God might not be there for me

*fear that I might not even be saved.

I became so fearful of rejection that I didn't call my family for almost 2 and a half weeks, I totally tried to avoid all contact with my friends here at school and away I was seriously letting it CONTROL my life. As I kept listing out all these fears I was dealing with I felt a huge weight being lifted off my shoulders. Well needless to say I had a "come to Jesus" till my next class and I got some things straitened out. The next night was BSU and it was the last message for a series called, Fear to Faith (how appropriate right?). During the music, in between songs, a girl got up to give her testimony. I had only met her once there before and there was no way she'd remember me. Well her testimony was about how fear took over her life and how God brought her through it. And then she said, "I don't know who was supposed to hear this tonight, but if it's you, God will bring you out of all this but you have to take the first step and cry for help, and He will build the bridge to come across and get you." God knew I needed encouragement and that was the perfect thing! 

It blows my mind that God knew all this was going to happen to me. Not only did He know it was going to happen to me, He PLANNED for it to happen to me. As soon as I took my eyes of Jesus, just like Peter walking on water, I began to sink and I was sinkin' to the bottom fast! And God let it get to the point where He was the only one that could pull me out. And when that point came He didn't fail. He was faithful and pulled my out of the waves and breakers that were pummeling me. And then after that, He gave me a huge dose of encouragement at BSU the next day after things were straitened out and refocused. He thinks of everything! He know's intimately each and every person and what it takes to get that individual back on track. And He does it all to help us to grow closer and more intimate and to strengthen our Love for Him. There's no way I would have been able to get out of the mess I was in cause I was in it with myself! I. messed. my. self. I continually thank God for his forgiveness and mercy. Just like the girl that gave her testimony at BSU, I have no clue who needed/needs to read this but if it's you, I'm here to tell ya that "He who promised is faithful" and He will pull you out/build that bridge for you to cross over, but you have to be willing to admit that you messed yourself and cry out to Him.

I love yall and I have tons more to fill you guys in on!

p.s. i might try to work on my fear of clowns cause the circus is in town...hmmmm i'm thinking about it. i just need someone to go with so i don't SERIOUSLY mess myself.

Hebrews 10:23

"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful."

nearer

I would run from You

Still You called me to be yours

Your grace and your mercy

Overwhelmed me.

And in the stillness of this moment

Give me faith like a child

Draw me nearer to Your heart,

Near to Your heart,

Immerse me in, Your righteousness

Your steadfast love,

Break me and make me a new creature in you

And see that my heart is yours.

You said, "Come to me,

All you who are weary

And burdened,

And I'll give you rest."

So I come humbly before You,

Unworthy of this gift

Yet you draw me ever nearer,

Near to Your heart.

The sacrifice of Your Son,

Of You, oh God

Brings me to my knees.

A matchless love

That was displayed upon that cross

Creates a new song in my heart

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord

To the cross where Thou hast died

Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord

To thyself now glorified 

Matthew 11:28

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

careful when you say "no way jose"

ok ok ok ok!!! i must tell this story because it is killing me!!! and if we can't laugh at ourselves then what kind of sense of humor do we got? 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 and i went to go meet some friends that i hadn't seen yet. well while we were hangin' out and things and they were showing me around the campus they asked me if i wanted to ride with them over to their dorm to help them move some stuff in. i said "sure!" they said great! and while we were in the car they asked me if i liked rap music cause they love to listen to it and make fun of it and so on--and they like to do this so that the entire world knows that they are listening to rap music. well i said "no" of course because i'm not a big fan and they just cracked a joke and they just listened to something else while we drove the two minutes to their dorm. 

well there is no way that you will ever be able to tell me that God doesn't have a sense of humor! the next day i am walking to class and i pass this black guy who drives this brand new BMW. no joke. brand spankin' new! i mean it was nice! it was a silver 325 for those who wanted to know.....i'm sorry i digress..so this dude asks me if i want a ride (because i literally have a half mile hike uphill to get to my class from my dorm) and so i was like "if you're offerin'" he said he was so i made my way over and we introduced ourselves and we got in the car. now pause for a moment and look at the above picture. just look at it. notice the glasses, and the striped sweater hoodie, the shifty eyes, and i was wearing some skinny jeans and my trusty chuck taylors, and my messenger bag. now just imagine that for a second. the pictures above will help you out.

now imagine that geek-looking/dork getting into this vehicle.

haha..ok now imagine me being in this car w/ a black dude that could rip my head off if he wanted to just for fun. yeah...is it becoming ever clearer for yall? haha just wait it gets better. if your in a brotha's car the brotha's seats are gonna be in a back position...so "back" you almost upside down. now imagine me not thinking about this at all and just glad someone spoke to me that i plop myself right down in the seat and literally fall backwards flailing my arms cause i was not prepared for the backward dropoff. well i got over that and the guy was real gracious he didn't laugh at my face...instead he turned his head to the side and cracked up...but it wasn't audible. no, you could just see his shoulders rapidly moving up and down like he was hyperventalating. well after we got past that he started her up and we just sat there and listened to her purr for a while...not gonna lie...it was nice.

are you getting anxious yet? or is that picture enough...well i'll finish my story cause it's where it get's good. so we pull out of the dorm parking lot and we start going up the street and we carried on some polite small talk and stuff till we got to the entrance of the school and that's when things got interesting. as we pull into the drive he turned on his music...alright it was rap. now it wasn't just any rap. no it was like "get the beep beep beep on the beep beep beep before i slap the beep off your beep" (something like that) and this stuff was going full blast!!!!!!!! i mean it was so loud that if you were within a mile of the car you'd feel the bass vibrating through the ground...the indians would be confused and think it was herd of buffalo coming...that's how loud it was. ok, still no worries i thought...the windows are tinted dark we'll just cruise up to the parking lot and we will just go our separate ways. is that what God had in mind...no not at all...no He decided that he was gonna make it 65 degrees that day so this guy would wanna roll down his windows. so now let me just clarify this picture for you.

*i, dressed/looking like a dork (because i am one) am asked by a black dude if i wanna ride in his beamer to class. i say yes. he says hop in. i says okee dokee and almost throw my back out not trying to fall back in his seats. he laughs at me. we get over it and we drive. nice chit chat. "oh look, the parking lot, i wanna listen to music now." "what i can't hear you because my brains have vibrated out of my head thanks to the bass in the back." "oh it's a really nice day, i'm gonna roll down my windows." dork who is ashamed to be listening to this "music" is now in plain view of all who pass by.*

are we caught up? good. well not only do the windows go down but people have jus gotten out of class and it was the middle of passing period, in the middle of campus. so this dude drives up this lane that's full, and we are talking full, of students walking up it and he chooses to drive right down the middle of it in between the students. as the car goes by this is what they see. a brotha that could rip my head off drivin' this super nice BMW blastin the bass to a genre that i despise, and there is a dork in his glasses and hoodie clutching w/ white knuckles his messenger bag in the passenger seat with his window down. "mr. i hate rap" has just become the poster child. and God is just sittin up there watchin all this like it's a three's company rerun  or something, just cracking up i'm sure because this guy that said "no way" has just been turned into a "yes way" and is terrified at the fact. and not only was God laughing cause i saw first hand the students that we passed trying to suppress their laughter. and then i realized what it looked like and i started to laugh and this dude just couldn't see what was so funny but i find it hilarious hahahahahahahahahaha.....no seriously...i don't think i did this story justice at all, it is just one of those things that you could only find in a tim conway movie or something. it cracks me up everytime i think about it. boy does God have a sense of humor! 

just be careful about what you say you don't like, or you "won't" do, or what is lame, cause God will definately have something up His sleeve and chances are He's gonna be laughin' like he was watchin' and episode of Hee Haw. well that's all i got for ya tonight. hope you enjoyed. if you still didn't follow the story just call me..i can explain it better speaking...hahaha peace out guys!!!! i got some good stuff coming up!! get excited!!!

"I've covered every bit of it"

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. I didn't have time...I had just moved to South Carolina for school, I was trying to get in a routine for classes and such, I had to meet people, I had to do this, I had to do that and I wasn't even remotely thinking that I was leaving something out..GOD!!! I got so caught up in "my life" that I had no desire to work on my spiritual walk with the God that had given me a life in the first place. He had loved me so much that He personally came down to earth and sacrificed himself for my life. My sin forged the nails that pinned Him to a splintered, dirty, rugged cross and this was the God that I was pushing to the side to make room for me.

Well Thursday my friend invited me to go to BSU with her and so I did. I wasn't sure what to expect, infact I wasn't even sure what BSU was...I'm not the best with acronyms and I just didn't know what it was. There was music and a "sermon" except it wasn't really a sermon because it was on a more intimate level. Well towards the end of the music, someone who I had no clue who they were, sang a song that boy did I know...and not only did I know it, I had used it in a worship service before. It was called 'At the Cross' and the minute I heard it start I knew exactly what it was and my heart just sank and then ended up in my throat (which I SOO don't know how that happened because sinking and going up in my throat are two different directions but it happened...it was just that feeling of conviction) when this person started singing the words...

Oh Lord You've searched me

You know my way

Even when I fail You

I know you love me

Your holy presence

Surrounding me

In every season

I know You love me

I know You love me

At the cross I bow my knee

Where Your blood was shed for me

There's no greater love than this

You have overcome the grave

Your glory fills the highest place

What can separate me now

You go before me

You shield my way

Your hand upholds me

I know you love me

You tore the veil

You made a way

When You said that it is done

And when the earth fades

Falls from my eyes

And You stand before me

I know You love me

I know You love me

...at that moment I was so convicted about how I had been putting God off, basically sayin' shove off I got this covered, when in reality I was nothing without Him in my life. He sacrificed for me, His passion was so great not just in His love for me but in His suffering and I put Him on the backburner. I just basically broke down at that point and started to cry...there was nothing else I think my body was able to do...I realized I was snubbing God for me...it's kinda hard for me to type this right now cause my eyes are getting blurred thinking about it, but God put it on my heart to tell yall..I don't know why, maybe one of you is struggling with this too.

The thing that got me most about this song is that at the end of every phrase it says "I know You love me." Through all of that God still loved me! Through my being a butt-face and arrogant kid (the kind that maybe makes you want to punt something) God's love for me didn't change. The creator of the universe chose to love a small insignificant thing called Joey and that is so overwhelming. A chapel speaker said this week "God only stooped twice in the whole Bible...once when He humbled himself to become man, but the only other time he stooped down was to breathe the breath of life into man." That's so humbling, that God was so intimate and personal in giving me life, and yet so many times I fail and stumble and run the total opposite direction and when I can't run anymore and I turn around to look at the mess I've made He's standing there with open arms saying "I've covered every bit of it." His love cover's a multitude of sins and His heart of forgiveness is overflowing. I could go on and on and on and on and on and on but I think you should go listen to the song..I have it the title of the song linked so all you got to do is click. Can you think of any better place to be than in His arms? I can't.

they're up!

alright yall..here's some pics that i have gathered for your enjoyment.

this first one pretty much says it all. we are in the foothills of the blue mountains. the entire campus sits on top of a hill and it's really REALLY compact.

this  is the prayer garden that is kinda hard to find, and you don't really even know it's there.  at the bottom right of the pic is a pond and there are some big goldfish in it.

this is my dorm room, it's pretty much self explainitory, coming from kansas there's not a whole lot you can take down with you the first trip..

haha and this was a fountain that they left running. hahaha i guess they didn't think that it could get below freezing up here haha (neither did i but i'm not the one that left the fountain running now am i..) haha. it really cracks me up. it's like the campus has it's own "tourist attraction" for the students.

So those are the pics that i promised to put up. and i got some other things to say but i'll have to do that after i do my reading and homework...booooooooo homework! haha :)

IT'S HERE IT'S HERE IT'S HERE!!!!
