Update as of now

Ok, so next week is the Catalyst conference. I am an intern at Catalyst right now and things have been absolutely crazy. As I sit here right now I have some of the first free moments I've had all week. But there a couple sweet things happening with all that this week and next.

First, we are completely sold out. No more tickets available. We have hit the absolute ceiling of seats available and then some. (the vendors don't need seats, but they have to have tickets to get passes into the arena) This is absolutely amazing and things around the office have been full of celebration and astonishment as we start realize how many people that actually is.

Second, as an intern, and the only intern 25 or older, I have been tasked with a lot of random stuff this week. Things that needed to get done for the event to happen, but were not the top priority for some of the other people here. So I've spent a lot of time in vehicles recently, both my own and rentals, as I drive errands, load trucks, and pretty much do anything not at my desk or even at our offices. This is good and bad. Good because being at a desk all day can tire me out. Bad because I miss a lot by not being at my desk. Luckily I have some great co-workers who have picked up a bit of the slack by me being gone.

Third, I am super excited and a little terrified about next week. We'll have nearly 13,000 people we will be hosting next week and I am a part of the crew that leads all of that. No sleep. Lots of coffee. Tons of lifting/moving (literally). Physical and mental exhaustion. I'm ready for it, but I'm nervous about it too.

And in the middle of all this I'm still looking for what God has next for me. I pray I know sooner rather than later. But for right now, I go back to work to finish my day and then go sleep.
