Camp Bound

The day is finally here! I leave for Camp Waukaway in Vossburg, MS today. I'm excited to get the summer started but still recovering from exams last week. I'm looking forward to seeing friends from last summer and making new ones.
I've been asking the Lord what He has for this summer and what goals He wants me to focus on. Among the things He has shown me, my heart feels a need to be constantly focused on my first Love. As we know that should be our focus everyday, but I feel like He has sanctified this season for a deeper revelation of my identity as His Love. This song "First Love" by Alm:UK has not stopped wooing my spirit. It says:
"My highest call, my greatest cause
is loving you
Your perfect love has won my heart
now i am Yours
Your sacrifice demands my life
I will live to honor your holy Name
the price you paid, so i sing
You're my first love
You're my true love
You're my reason
You're are why I breathe
I will give you my devotion
All of me, All of me
You chose the cross
You chose me.."
The deep woods of MS is a great place to get away and spend with my first love. Though i know it will be busy at times, there is something about the still clear nights at Waukaway. I want a deeper revelation of how Jesus feels about me and who He sees me. This paradigm will change my focus and my motivations. When i know my idenitiy, everything seems to be at peace. He is an amazing Papa who loves to tell me who I am in Him. It changes everything!
Pray that I will rest in this revelation constantly this summer and have strength to abide in His love through the challenges! :)
Psalm 107:7-9
 He led them by a straight way
   to a city where they could settle.
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
   and his wonderful deeds for men,
for he satisfies the thirsty
   and fills the hungry with good things.
