DAY FIVE

WHAT UP!!!!

Ok, yes I can count and I realize my last post was day two and it is currently day five...I may have been out of town, and by may, I mean yes, yes I was out of town hahaha! Ah, my poor sweet Samantha, my Elisha, has been struggling in Haviland all weekend and I was just being spoiled. I know, I may have eaten some food, I'm gonna say more than a dollars worth, HOWEVER, I did not spend a penny!!! HA, man if this challenge changed from a dollar a day to you can only get food for free, I would be massive. I dont know what it is but people like to give me free food, I dont look like I'm starving, the general population is super nice! AND I'm pretty sure if you just go to a bakery at the end of the day you can get all their bread theyre gonna throw away for free! for free! Hahahaha OR you can be like sam and just take someones food at a restaurant after they leave the table! HAHAHAHAHA! Ok, I'm laughing but I myself am definitely not above that. So anyway let me tell you about my weekend... Friday was a day that I felt like I barely had any food and it was awful, I felt sick and I was tired and cranky and I started crying and I couldnt stop! Poor Seth, he had no idea what to do, but he's a good man and let me cry :)... Oh right, so friday Seth and I left for a retreat with some great people from Northridge to discuss vision for the church. Well we get to Oasis and it is BEAUTIFUL and Jeff has all this food prepared for us, and my first thought is oh no what am I going to do?! Luckily there was potato and rice soup, I had a few bites of that and I was well within my dollar for the day. Well, the following day arrived and Jeff prepared us the food for the day. I didnt really have any options to eat except for what he cooked, and so I ate, and it was good. It was also free! YAY! So, today the Binfords wanted to take Seth and I out for lunch, so we went and I ate some food, but that was my only meal for the day and again, it was free! Hahaha oh man, it makes me think about the homeless here in the U.S. there are so much "relief" out there that not only do they have options on the food they get but theyre getting fat! Other countries dont have those options, they work every day for the food they get and that's all there is, there are no outs, no soup kitchens, no people offering to buy meals, no restaurants throwing out tons of food... Can you imagine what a father must feel like when he cant adequately feed his family? I cannot even fathom the distress and the shame he would feel to see his child dying from starvation. So Lord I pray that Your Kingdom will come, and Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven and give us this day our daily bread. Amen.
