So my weekend was really busy, but a ton of fun. On Friday i had the 30 hour famine and that was really really fun. until I had hunger pains. but I did really enjoy it. Jaci and I hung out for most of it, but we deserved to cuz I hadn't seen her in awhile and she has to go to camp next weekend. But we went swimming and played the cavalier game and lots of fun stuff. the best part was the sleeping, going in the hottub and the cavalier game. I met some "cool" kids, who, regrettably, all turned out to be messed up in the end. I broke the fast on Saturday night at like 6 when my pastor's wife took me out to dinner. I had a really good time with her, not gonna lie. Then we went to my brother/dad's play that they were doing and that was really cute. then I went to the cast party (was I part of the play? no.).. it was a good time too. And then I realized how stupid it is for me to be like "i'm having soooo much fun!" when people are dying every second. Case and point, Mike Mueller.. while I was complaining about not being able to eat, he was dying. and thousands of kids die every minute from malnutrition, and the most we have to worry about is how our hair looks or if our pants make us look fat. I bet they WISH their pants made them look fat you know? And so like last night I was just thinking how I am such a drama queen all the time and I'm always flipping out about stuff that I won't even care about the next day. and then something happens with like Grant Lintala or Mike Mueller or Stephanie Fritz. and then I get sort of mad at God. and I wonder why he could do that to us. But that's the whole point.. he doesn't do it for us. he doesn't do it so that we can be upset for those weeks or months, but so it all works together in the future. and it's selfish for us to get angry at God and wonder "why?". cuz he just gives us times like these to get stronger and to learn to rely on him more. sorry this is so deep, but it just needed to be said. I hope you all had a wonderful, fantastic weekend and I'm looking forward to seeing your gorgeous, smiling faces on Monday! Peace and love, Bri
