HELP JAMAICA!

Greetings my friends!

I’ve been hard at work lately preparing for all that the Lord will be doing this spring from April 21st –May 5 when I will travel to Kingston Jamaica. I’ll be traveling with Untitled Skateboards, my sponsor, to join up with the Luis Palau Festival, where we’ll be spending a week traveling around Kingston working with local churches.

      We will be volunteering our time in the area to display God’s love to the locals in practical ways like serving meals, bringing supplies, doing skits and plays for all the youths of the city on the street, and then inviting them all to attend the festival that weekend.

      At the event, our team will do a number of skating demonstrations followed by the Gospel presentation and some testimonies of what God has freed us from, and the new life we’ve been given. I have personally seen thousands of lives changed and people set free through this method of Gospel delivery in past events, and have high hopes for this broken community.

      In Jamaica, there is a large population of the youth that get into gangs, vandalism and unsafe sex resulting in HIV transmission, which has killed many of these kids’ parents.                 We seek to bring not only the message of the Savior, but practical tools that will inspire this next generation of Jamaican youngsters to steer clear of the pitfalls and traps that keep so many of the locals stuck in the cycle of hopelessness and sin.

      Skateboarding is the tool I best know how to use, and I’ve been saving up old pairs of shoes and boards to send down to those who have nothing. They ride barefoot, with horrible equipment and no resources to attain any more boards, shoes, or wood for ramps.

      I have a compassion for these young ones and I don’t want to hoard all the blessings and wealth of this country to myself. I’ve been blessed abundantly and it would be awesome if you would join with me in God’s blessing of these beautiful people.

 

WAYS YOU CAN HELP:

-Prayer Support (Setting a time every day to pray for me. Pray that I will be bold and protected while I seek to spread light in a dark and nearly hopeless city. There is violence there, skateboarding can be dangerous, and also for safe travel.)

-Financial Support (It costs money for me to send all the supplies to Jamaica, …God has already provided a miraculous donation of my plane ticket so all your help goes to the kids directly, and of course, I would love to eat something while I’m there. J)

-Donations (Skateboard Shoes in any size, used or new. Extra shoelaces, stamps for shipping, boards, trucks, wheels, bearings, grip tape, hardware, skate tools, and socks)

                      *Any donations made out to Untitled are tax deductible!

     If you can give support in any way, it will impact lives on the island and your contribution can be a seed that will grow into an eternal harvest. Thank you for your time and soon, I will have a recap of all that God does in Jamaica through His’ body of believers!

 

Skating for the King,

Is it possible for a woman this dumb to be wise and In love with Jesus?

Cause she’s the cutest thing ever. So unpretentious and innocently silly. But i’d rather have a woman who challenges me to know and learn lots more… STILL… Watch and giggle:

I’m blessed when i see someone valiantly defending the faith with a quick wit because of his relationship with God through King Jesus with the help of Holy Spirit

This is how we should interact with nonbelievers and “believers” alike. Sharp in our knowledge of scripture, but always loving and slow to use our own opinions over what the sWord says. I desire to have a witness like this.  Props Billy.

I appologise for wronging you so deeply friends AKA “The Tragedy About Babies Is: You can’t Eat ‘Em”

I FORGOT TO POST ANYTHING ABOUT THE FUNNIEST MINISTRY EVER!!! CHECK IT AND YOU’LL KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!! never laughed this consistently… Episodes 4,7,8 = YAY.

NOWADAYz it’s a haze but you won’t catch me stoppin’ the Praise

-I’ve worked. It is painful to stand for 11 hours a day. Moreso than skateboarding, or falling off of one… I’d prefer that actually.  -Time to take time and organize support letters for the Jamaica trip!-I’ve been pondering a lot of what’s said in 1Corinthians… and it inspires me to quit being bullied by my surroundings and appreciate my singleness and thank God for it.   I love all the new relationships that God has brought me into this last year. Getting to Sing/Worship/Dance/Hang with 50% of the artists formerly known as Strikethurman/Young America twice a week is a silly and healthy blessing. “Rock on with a frock on!”Also, the brothers Barge  have blessed me greatly in many ways. 1. Hosh has yet to mortally wound or kill me. 2. Hosh still lets me come over for extended periods of time. 3. Sean fed me a full plate of Hosh’s favorite salivatory meal… WANGS. hahahahahahahahahahahaha. sorry, Southern accent just had to jump in there… 4. Sean let me sleep on his “Vintage 2006 Foofighton” even though i snore like a boar. I seriously don’t remember him yelling at me to stop during the night… 5. Those guys wanna talk about the things of God -Deep stuff, “Scuba Gear Required” you know? Mainly real valuable topics, and that’s something I’ve needed. Most peeps who “Live for JC” are too shielded and afraid to open up and get excited to untagle and hash through how big God is and how greatly we are in need of Him. oh and banter about bands of course…

DON’T Call It A Comeback! (cause i did first…)

In Recent underground news revealed by myspace, DC Talk Is back together…even if only for one song. I KNOW! Dang.The “One Way Crew”made it back into the studio together for the brand new Kevin Max Record “The Blood” which is a fresh release of all cover songs focused on the Cross of Christ. Check it and REJOICE! The song is called “The Cross”

25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:25 could seem like a nagging mother telling us that we need to go to church, but man! When i watch this video i remember what God does through Catalyst on outreach nights, Regular Wednesdays, Small Groups, Pumpkin Bowl, Youth Sunday, All the parties and out to eats… I am so thankful to be included, used, taught, encouraged, protected, equipped and needed by the body. We all have hour place and function. Hallelujah!

REMIX REVIEW

 Hillsong London “Jesus Is re:mix” I’m stoked on some different and fresh worship. Earlier this week i demo’d this album in the bookstore, but the demos only have 25 second clips, which is not nearly sufficient for a techno song… But today i stole this cd from a buddy and i love driving to thumping repetetive ambient worship! It makes the drive seem shorter and really leaves room for freeflow worship. The problem with a lot of rock/indie/pop music is that it is pretty structured most of the time and the format is seldom wild or random in shape… it also draws attention to specific instrumentalists and with this it’s nice to just accept that some dj did it.  I love this cause it’s progressive, but still pretty formless and unique. check it and enjoy!    http://www.hillsong.com/music/section.php?xSec=542 

Paternal.Pain (exclamastiticancisensationalenervulence -courtesy of DAD)

My pity for my own life is at an all time high. Why are so many day to day things such alien practices for me? Would a dad around the house bellowing at me when I disrespected my mother really make all this fall into place and feel like it makes enough sense? Yeah yeah…tons of people who’s dads did live in their family portraits weren’t there for games, dinners, church, accomplishments, failures, tears, fears, lessons and lectures that so many people take for granted and resent.But MY dad -1. Isn’t a manly mcgruff lumberjack that i dream a father would be, and 2-100. WAS ABSENT/APATHETIC/PREOCCUPIED/DISTRACTED and not to mention unequipped for the training of a warrior in this spiritual shit-saturated salad we allow into our homes via dish, ti-vo,cable,myspace,radio,commercial,infomercial,moral dispersal culture. Evan means young warrior. I remind the world of that frequently. Why that name? A warrior is equipped, trained, diligent, alert, focused, conditioned and prepared for his battle. This warrior feels more like a kleenex vs. a molotov cocktail, though. “The Widow”- As Cities Burn

Dead man, were you ever alive or was I just a seed



 buried deep inside some woman you wed


right before you crawled out of her bed and crept down the hall?

 Did you think of me?


 Did you even for a second heistate, in the doorway?
It’s just something I’d like to know,

 


 though I’d still love you if you told me   that you just walked away.
.
 My God, what a world you love!
Men bury their sons, and without thought, they just walk away.

 

 And my mother’s heart breaks like the water inside of her. (2x)

 Dead man, is it being high that makes you alive?
It makes you leave behind three boys and a wife, in ‘89.

   And as the track marks inch their way up your arm, 
 my mother taught my brothers and I not to call you “Daddy,"
 

but to call you “Father”.


But I believe there is something here to be learned of grace.
 ’Cause I can’t help but love you!
 Even with a heart that breaks, like the promises that you made.


 Like the promises that you made. No, I can’t help but love you   

The promises that you made. Layin in your bead. Dyin' of disease, it's takin over your cells, it's takin over me. ‘Cause I still love you. yeah I still love you. Oh i still love you... Cause after all I've done he still loved me.
.
 
 

My God, what a world you love…

This song makes me cry, because Cody sings that he has learned a lesson about God through forgiving his own runaway dad. I’m mad at my dad, my uncles, my pastors, my cousins, my mentors, and somehow that must reflect on my emotions toward my Heavenly Father. Maybe it’s all a mind game and Satan would love for this pity party to go on for as long as possible, because he knows that if he keeps me focused in the rear view mirror, i’m gonna miss the signs in front of me.I AM A TREASURED CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH GOD. ”God does not call the equipped, he equips the called.” Its not all about me either! There are plenty of dadless in this world who seek God like they mean it, and my circumstance should not dictate my view of God or His plan. He loves me after all I’ve done. If i could ever find peace in accepting that free gift given by the Savior, then i must learn to practice this forgiveness on the daily. Wether it’s with any of those listed men, or with God, or with myself. My poor old self… boo hoo cindy lou hoo. Get over it cause God’s still God and I am surely NOT.

PEACE. (moonlight date with the creator) Current mood:  calm Just doing some meditating and night stargazing…If evil is the absence of God, and darkness is the absence of light… Our world is only an example of this principal. It’s not physically the same…Genesis Chapter1 1IN THE beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth.(A)2The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters.3And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.4And God saw that the light was good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it; and God separated the light from the darkness. ALSO*Verses 14And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be signs and tokens [of God's provident care], and [to mark] seasons, days, and years,(C)15And let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light upon the earth. And it was so. 16And God made the two great lights–the greater light (the sun) to rule the day and the lesser light (the moon) to rule the night. He also made the stars.17And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth,18To rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good (fitting, pleasant) and He approved it.(B)So God was there… before light. His spirit hovered and moved in the darkness…The light helps us see. the SPIRIT OF GOD moved in the unseen. – That hasn’t changed still today. Just because it is physically dark and the pleasant and comforting light isn’t there… does not mean that the darkness is evil. The darkness is just where the thieves and criminals AKA humans love to reside because it is easier to hide and keep their sin from beeing seen. It’s a great revelation to me to realize that God is still around and that Nighttime is a place that we can find the Lord working. I walked and saw at least 5 shooting stars… or whatever astronomy has technically studied and found them to be… haha. I prayed and walked down the middle of the road. I hated the streetlights. their hideous orange light was painful compared to God’s natural white star and moonlight. I reallized that my fear of dark is taken away because God is the GOD of DAY and NIGHT both. Stay up late, or early and walk/Think/starwatch/pray … it’s really really fun.

 

5.

is the number of times that i’ve gotten pulled over for no headlight.Two days in a row is a new record! zerO. -The number of tickets recieved. Ok, Lord, I’ll stop ignoring you. Oh! and thanks a trillion…

I won’t give up. I won’t give up. I will sing Your name, until my heart caves in.

this took me 3 years. 100percent of it was not possible without the Lord’s inspiration, protection and provision.

Help

I listened to this sermon (CLICK THE RED BUTTON FOOLS) the other day and right about half way through i realized that my pursuit of God, or lack thereof is detestable to me.

Three days ago, i got to bed hours earlier than i’ve gone in maybe a year. After an hour of laying there super comfy, I tossed and turned and really started to get frustrated cause i was tired, it was warm enough, and my mind just wouldn’t shut off. It just wouldn’t. SO i grabbed my spiritual broom and thumped the handle on the ceiling in prayer… “Lord! Would-gya turn it down!? I gotta skate early tomorrow. Thanks…” Needless to say, God isn’t some police officer i can just tattle to when somethings aggrivating me, and after listening to Paul’s sermon I recognized the emptiness and irreverance amidst my request. I used to go off alone somewhere and just hang in the silence and listen and talk to God. I’d stare at creation and find God’s creativity and beauty. I’d drop everything then drop to my knees and seek him when i felt the spirit knockin’. I had the windows rolled down, and the breeze of his voice rushing all around me. But now it’s as though i have all the windows rolled up and sunglasses on and i’m driving straight into the sunlight at sunup with a dirty windshield. It’s painful, frustrating, more difficult than it should be. I swerve and there’s a danger with my presence on the road.I DON’T WANT TO BE THE PARROT I’VE BEEN; REPEATING FORMULAS WITHOUT KNOWING THAT THEY’VE WORKED IN MY OWN LIFE… YOU KNOW?ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWs, LET HIM FLOOD THIS VEHICLE AND WIPE THE GRIME AWAY!
