Stop the Hate: Team Joey!

Joeyisms

Now the band member that a lot of the Lightbulbs love is the one and only Mr. Joseph Patrick Stamper

"God is not mad at you, He's madly in love with you."

No matter what happens in life, remember that it happens for a reason. God is never mad at you. He is not out to punish us and He will never let anything that happens in our life be without a purpose. God is madly in love with you and will always be with you through every step of the way.

Joey told Klove in an "interview" when they asked if he could give advice for anyone going through trials:

"Just keep going, keep going with it. Giving it all you got. There's nothing else you can do. You can talk about it with a friend or write it out, but if you don't give it all you got, it's worthless."

I love this because I know I have been in tough times (and still am going through hard times) and it's nice to know that I am not alone in this and will I will be "Never Alone" I love this song Joey sings as a solo and you guys should hear it too. If we don't give everything we got into what we do everyday, then we will never know what we will get out of it. We all go through tough times and the best way is to get through these is talk it out or write it out.

(If any of you are ever in a tough time then I want to say that I love you guys and I'm here! I will pray for you and you can tell me. I will Help You Stand)

This was another quote when he told Klove what was his favorite thing about God was.

"New mercies. Second Chances everyday."

I believe Joey never made a "mistake" but I believe that people should give the band another chance. Do not give up on them because they never gave up on you. They were there for you with their music when you were in your "darkest" times. I know they have been there for me.

"Love keeps no record of wrongs."

We all know that we love those big blues. And that amazing voice that comes from deep inside. We know that we love all five guys. We know that we know every lyric of every song. Even the mashups we all try to sing all four parts at one time. We try to go from Alan's deep voice to Chads high voice and Caleb's, Kyle's, and Joey's in between yet different voices too. We try to match every chord. But do we really count the "wrongs that people do?" (I can't think of one thing this band did wrong.)

"There is nothing you can do to make God love you more..... And there is absolutely nothing you can do to make Him love you less."

God loves us all just the way we are. He created us special and we should remember this. God purposely made our lives the way it is. Whether we are quiet or crazy and loud we were made the way we are for one reason.

To love others the way God loves us.

"You don't have to get it right to follow Jesus...... You follow Jesus because you can't get it right on your own."

We all make mistakes and we all fall at one point or another. We all know that we couldn't get the situation right on our own. No matter what we tried we couldn't get it quite right. Till we met God and His greatness that He has shown us. He loves us and wants what is best for us.

Lastly my favorite (I only watched the livestrem to see what Joey would say and what faces he would make.... I basically jumped around cuz all were an hour... I ran out of videos to watch of the band.)

"My favorite number is forever."

Joey, Caleb, Alan, Chad and Kyle will love God forever. God will love these guys forever. I will love these crazy guys forever, and they have taught me that God will love ME forever and that I will love God forever. What better number than the only one that matters... The number of forever.
