I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!


Despite the headline, no I did not just win the Super Bowl. In fact, something happened to me that happened to me last year. You're probably thinking "Oh crap, here he goes again with that Disneyland story." Well YES! But at the same time NO! I won't tell that story ever again. Well at least not on this blog. That's my promise. ;)

So, I decided to apply for that same Disney College Program just for the heck of it. Well I did, then I got an interview, then I got a second interview, then last Friday (September 23rd, 2016) morning at exactly 10:23 AM, I got the same email as last year, but with a little bit different wording. I had been hired for the College Program yet again. But this time, at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. I was in shock and didn't believe it. So the first thing I did (since I was in our mall) was find a bench and just prayed and thanked God for this opportunity yet again.

Now here is how I see it. You know that I turned it down a year ago because that is what I felt the Lord telling me to do. A few weeks later, I was given numerous interviews and job offers. I'm STILL at one of those, Domino's, almost a year later (November 11th will be my anniversary). Over the past few days since receiving the offer, I was trying to figure out what to do. Well, I was able to pay the fees this time (with the aid of my brother). 

Here is how I see this, though. I never really saw God work in my life or really even REALLY trusted Him until about a year ago, when all of this was happening. So, I went out on a limb and turned down my dream job, knowing it was a possibility that I would never have this opportunity again. Well the thing is, I trusted God big time and what came out of that was a better job offer, at the better park. So it all worked out and is coming together amazingly.

So, really I just want you all to know the God I know. Don't doubt Him. Trust Him. And believe me, you may see something amazing happen in your life.

Let me leave you with one last thing. One of my favorite Bible verses.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;

In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He shall direct your paths.


Until Next Time, Alex
