Catalyst

So this last week, I made a big decision (well, for me it is anyway) to go to the Catalyst conference in Irvine next Spring. I'm super excited, yet a little anxious about it anyway. It was supposed to be an event attended with another individual, but as that won't be taking place, I'm going on my own. By myself. To L.A. For four days.

Alone.

Totally alone.

Now, let me back track to how this all took place.

A former acquaintance had informed me this was an amazing event. All the best innovators, authors, speakers, etc. to getting a ministry going, and to help lead the church. Something I've always been interested in. So the plan was to go to this together. Then we broke ties. Great. Among all the other hopes and dreams lost, now this one two.

But over the past few weeks, I've become pretty involved with 210 and Elevate. By involved, I mean I don't just come and leave every Tuesday night. I actually stick around and partake in community. In doing so, my desire to devote a lot of my life to ministry has returned.

I also decided on a college major. Costuming. Theatrical Costuming. Now, I want my Academy Award, but I also want to finish writing the children's "church" curriculum I began writing about a year ago. I want to partake in a drama ministry at a church, and help out with that.

So...after that rant....Catalyst. The Catalyst Conference is meant to help visionaries seek out their visions and to apply it to the world today. Basically, it is to help church leaders and followers of Christ who want to make a change, make it.

There's a lot more to it, but it's something I'm seriously stoked about. I haven't been this excited about something in a VERY long time. And I can't wait.
