Real World: Gainesville

I don’t know if you’ve realized this but I’m on my second term in the Center for Global Action. Which means I am almost halfway from saving the world. With each term comes both old and new apprentices. I just want to take a minute to introduce you to my new roommates.

If you don’t want to read all the words, just check out the bullet points!

I also realize that by uploading these old pictures of them, I may never be able to write another blog again.
And yes, I have a house mentor. But there will be an entire blog dedicated to him. 


 RO(d)NNY WILSON 

 

1. Leadership Track 

2. Adventures for Life Apprentice

3. Long man hair 

4. Gymnast 

5. Extrovert

 

When the Lord created the two of us He said, “This should be fun.” And so twas the friendship. Ronny is from Pennsylvania, a gymnast, a man who is in tune with the Father’s voice, and is always up to keeping my small extroverted side running. Ronny is doing Leadership track with me and apprenticing with the Adventures for Life department. If you want to know how I have finished my homework all term it’s probably because of him. 

 

DILLON SEELEY (dad)

 

1. Worship Track 

2. Long Term Missions Apprentice

3. Only other male returning apprentice 

4. Biggest servants heart 

5. Laughs at my fiestyness 

Dillon is the only other male returner (besides myself). He completed Leadership Track last term and now he is stretching himself immensely by diving into his emotions with Worship Track. He is also working in the Long Term Missions department. It is his also dream to do missions in Japan. This man probably knows me best by always laughing at me when I act tough or blunt. Dillon is a steady beat that is very valuable to myself and others here. 

 

CHRIS(topher) BURNS 

 

1. Missions Track 

2. Logistics Apprentice 

3. Youngest man in da house 

4. Awkward but genuine 

5. YouTube enthusiast 

This guy is a breath of fresh air. Mainly because he is incredibly aware of his awkwardness. But also because I can’t get enough of a genuinely awesome person. He brings a sense of deep conversations while also trying to bring his mom up in conversation. This guy has already lead a passport trip (or 2) and has a super awesome girlfriend who is also here at CGA. This term he is in missions track and apprenticing with the logistics department. It is also my plan to make him one of my many BFF forevers. 

 

NIC(holas)K LAWHEAD 

 

1. Worship Track 

2. Out of Office Apprentice 

3. Workout queen (I really don’t know why)

4. Intentionally deep eyes 

5. Softest of soft hearts 

Nick is someone you wouldn’t expect to be like by the way he looks. Is that a weird sentence or what? He works out and he has some really sick tattoos. And yet he carries the presence of a man who constantly thrives in his intimacy with the Father. Which is perfect considering he is in Worship Track. I’m very excited to learn from this man. Fun fact: his dad bought him a thick camo carhartt because Nick was moving up north. He’s from Florida. 

 

PAUL(lerino) BARNELLO 

 

1. Missions Track 

2. Long Term Missions Apprentice 

3. Smash Bros. enthusiast 

4. Future ‘So you think you can Dance’ winner

5. My sister

 

This man is almost indescribable. He launched in July of 2014 (same as me) for the World Race so you could say we are sisters. Paul carries humility and a huge amount of joy in his stance. I haven’t heard his whole story but from what I have heard there is God. Oh, and you need to join a dance party with him. Imagine a bearded man with no shame in his dance moves while continually smiling. That’s him. This sister of mine also cut out my pride after playing some N64.
