Summer camps have been one of my favorite blessings the Lord has given me. To be able to get away from the responsibilities of life and spend three days worshiping, growing and being encouraged by fellow believers is nothing short of a gift. One thing God challenged me to do before I went was to leave my phone at home and for a photographer that's not always easy. But the funny thing is, on the way home the last thing I wanted was to have to check social media and respond to emails.
For the first time in a while I really had no distraction from the outside world and I can confidently say the Lord blessed that and revealed himself to me in such new ways. Another thing that I learned with that was God is MORE than sufficient and all He wants is for us to be present in the day He's given us and sometimes, wait no, almost ALL the time we give more attention to a tiny screen than what's before us.
I'm incredibly thankful for fun, losing my voice after the first night and the freedom of being silly even though technically I'm now considered an adult. It's not often we get to play capture the flag with a huge smelly fish or even be around all the people we love for three whole days.
My heart is full and excited for this next chapter in my life because after this weekend I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that my one and only TRUE love in the world is Jesus Christ.
The Happiest of Mondays!
