mosquitoes, camping, and God

27 mosquito bites later, here I am sitting at my computer, trying to make sense of what has just happened.

I just came back from an amazing time camping with friends from my church. It was amazing to spend the day at the beach, have bbq sausages, and just talk and talk and talk over the camp fire. It was truly a memorable time. What made the whole time even more memorable was the fact that it rained and everything in my tent got soaked. It was good though, especially since I wasn’t the only one basking in wetness :p

All that said, you are probably wondering what I am trying to make sense of. It’s one thing: Why did God create mosquitoes?

Yeah, yeah, I know the whole food chain answer, and such, but really, why did God create mosquitoes? Was it to make sure we would never enjoy summer camping? Maybe it was because he wanted to teach us how to suffer through pain? Or maybe it was so that we would realize that the world doesn’t actually revolve around us to please and serve us?

Anyway, I better reapply Afterbite – viva la mosquitoes
