13 Days Until Disney !

I've got 2 weeks until I finally move to Florida and my brain is all over the place. I have 2 jobs, church,  trying to vlog, trying to pack, trying to get grad school squared away but working 12- 14 hours a day is not making it easy. So on my day off, I did a couple of  Disney Tags and I'm trying to get some packing done. So check this one out...

Disney Channel Tag:

As of right now, I have completed my DORMS paperwork for Disney and I just received my on boarding pass for Disney. I selected a 4 Bedroom - 8 People as my top choice for living arrangements. I enjoyed it so much during Summer 2011 and am hoping for another amazing experience.  Cheers to having my paper work complete and hopefully everything will work out well. The process has changed so much since my initial program Spring 2010.

Disney & DeLisa : Along Way from Church

The one thing that makes me the most anxious about the Disney College Program is that I won't be able to attend church regularly or fellowship with my gang of misfits. Reading and studying the Word as well as praying are a daily priority of mine; God is a large part of my life, He's the reason for EVERYTHING! However, I'm very aware of how easy it is for me to get off track.

About four months ago, I joined an awesome church and I'm growing in God and I dont want to leave. However I know God is calling me out of my comfort zone, so I can learn how to truly lean and depend on Him. Not to mention,there will be people from all over the world from different walks of life. I'm excited to learn and admire different cultures. But with BEAUTY comes the UGLY!
As an alumni, Ive witnessed a lot of crazy things on my previous programs but that's life and I can say that Disney did all they could to help. However, I'm still somewhat nervous that I'll get distracted or caught up in having fun that I step out of the Will of God. So, I'm taking proper precautions: appointing my accountability team, attending the Running Reckless Conference for young adults and will begin fasting for this new chapter of my life.

With all the Floridians I'll meet, I'm sure that God will send me someone to help me find an awesome church home and 2015 will be the start of a great adventure. Oh, the joys of new beginnings.

Charlie Maverick World Meets the Wonderful World of Disney ... AGAIN

 

After 5 years of waiting, I'm officially moving to Florida. Next month, I will  graduate, celebrate my 24th birthday and  my last Christmas in the Lone Star State. I will kick off 2015 in the Florida where I will happily work for the Mouse. I've been waiting for this since Spring 2010 and I'm extremely happy to start my next chapter in Sunshine State. In the Summer I hope to attend the University of Central Florida to earn my Masters in Social Work.

 

 

God is really showing me what it means to truly trust Him. I'm so excited for this adventure and I'm especially ready for change. Texas, you've been great but I'm ready to try something new.

Let the Adventure Begin

 

 

Stay busy!

My first trip to Florida, God gave me the vision of opening up a home for abused and neglected girls. Growing up, I always had a heart for helping orgers and my heart was especially tender towars orphans. It was Disney's Escape to Witchback mountain that inspired my first  idea about starting a home. And though my passion and drive for this project has been on a rollercoaster ; God sent me a teammate with the same dream. Yesterday, we decided that we'd create a camp this summer to fundraise our the girls home! 

 So cheers to women who believe that through Christ you can do anything! I pray that Camp Turn Up is a success that brings us closer to helping many young girls in the future! 

I pray that God keeps us dilligent and helps us make it all the way through! So cheers to hard work and making a difference.

Morning Meditation

K

Put all the children on the school bus extra early & despite all the things that stood in my way... I made it to morning meditation and at first I was neervous but  trying new things brings you out of your comfort zone, so I stepped on it and let out one cheerful, "Good morning." Surprisingly, I saw a tall lanky man that I knew from theatre! Surprise,Surprise. We sat and conversed in the studio! 

 

Isnt it beautiful? We chatted for a while and then we got right into breathing and meditation! During my process I made some silly mistakes. He showed me where the blocks and blankets were and I had no clue what I was doing so I grabbed a blanket and laid it out like it was naptime at preschool. As I watched him, he took the  folded blanket and sat on top of it to elevate himself from the floor. I felt dumb and fixed myself! 

Dont make that mistake folks! My other special moment was when I was focusing on my breathing, I started to feel  tension in my throat like maybe I was thirsty, so I swallowed. But, it didnt help, so I notified my instructor & told him I feel like I want to say something. I then told him about my singing addiction and how I have singing terrets! It was awkward but then we started chanting in a sing like manner and it was perfection! I love meditation! 

I dont want to be a Sloth anymore

Ive been sluggish & sleepy lately and Im convinced its because of my horrible eating habits and lack of excercise. So since the semester starts tomorrow, Im going to eat better and try some Yoga! 

Now once I get this eating under control, then I'll tackle hard core excersice! Charlie Mav has really got to look & feel better! Plus healthy hair needs a heathy body! So cheers to hair growth and a healthy body.

Late Registration

 

I registered for school today! Spring 2014. I'll graduate with my Bachelors Degree in Social Work December 2014! Despite that I've already helped start a home for abused & neglected children, this will simply make me credible. This degree feels like a bunch of wasted energy in the wrong direction but God doesn't make mistakes, so I'm sure there is a reason behind all of this madness. But at least I'll be able to say I graduated with a ton of experience  and a lifetime of memories!
