Be the change.

So much for this "try harder" business huh?

I am thinking about starting a Vlog series on my journey into the world of animation. It's something that God has been kind of shoving in my face, so I'm thinking about documenting it. Ultimate goal of it all: work at Pixar(or Walt Disney Studios). This is going to take years and years of practice, school, etc, but as long as it's God breathed, it will be worth it in the long run.

Here's the thing:
It irritates the crap out of me when people talk about Disney being "demonic" and "anti-God". Let's get a few things straight:
Walt Disney Animation (classic Disney movies) have a tendency to drift more towards the less-pure side of things. Not Pixar. Pixar has a history of keeping their films as innocent & child like as possible, but while creating a happy medium for adults as well. Besides that, you can let kids watch classic Disney movies and still protect them from anything that might creep them out. Don't be a religious baby.

Be the freaking change.

My goal to work for Pixar or even Walt Disney Studios is to be effective for the kingdom of God. Not to hide my beliefs or to agree with everything they put out there. Being effective in a safe church setting is one thing, but it's not what we're called to do. I want to change lives, and I feel like this is something God has put in my heart from birth.

Wow... This is NOT where I expected this post to go. I didn't expect to put all this stuff out there, but now I guess I have to be accountable. Right? Right.

It's not for sure anyway. It's something we're praying about and I'm dipping my toes in the water, not jumping into the pool.
