Nashville, TN

I just finished the Nashville event, and the first word that comes to mind to describe it is wow! This event was insane.  We were having 450 volunteers at a time pack at 40 funnels!  In one 2 hour packing shift we packed 645 boxes with approximately 139,000 meals!  Those numbers to happen at every event (nor should they), but it was incredible to be a part of something this large.  It wasn't just about the numbers though, the volunteers that helped were incredible.  The planning committee and people who stayed for the whole day were encouraging and amazing.  Since the event was put together by three christian record companies we had artists, producers, songwriters, and managers come and pack food.  There was a concert over lunch.  And I trained Jeremy Camp on my warehouse crew and watched him haul boxes and scoop rice.  It was very surreal, but cool to see the industry people reach beyond themselves to stand against starvation.  It was a very spiritual event for me as well...God challenging and tugging at my heart strings.  I am exhausted though.  We packed 428,000ish meals in one day!  I love my job.  I still have a hard time believing that I get to be a part of this...to be a vessel of God's love in this way is incredible.  And now I get to fly home and fly back out the same day for an event in Chicago!  What an adventure my life is right now.
