Days 56-57.

I believe that food is such a great way to be loving. I'm not just saying that because, but being able to eat together - it's just a good way to fellowship, to catch up, to spend time together. I know having money doesn't mean anything, but sometimes I feel like I can't express my love/gratitude (as well) when I'm unable to treat a friend to some food or to just go out for lunch/dinner with a friend. For the first time in a two months-two months and a half, I was able to withdraw money from my bank account! It was a weird feeling of freedom hahaha. I was able to treat a friend to lunch and eat with them.

Some of us are fortunate enough to be in a position to feel hungry and to be able to satisfy that feeling. Some of us haven't even felt those painful hungry pangs in a while because we silence it before we even feel it. But we aren't blind/unaware of those who do know what that feel like. Those that may even live with it for a day or longer. Living in New York City, we encounter people who are homeless on a daily basis. Being able to provide them with some food is such a huge gesture, but often considered a huge inconvenience..for us. Sure some may reject your offer of a snack you might have and ask for money instead, but that shouldn't stop us from offering food to the next person who is in need. With a group of friends, we served through NYCUP's Feed 500. My goodness it was so awesome. Forget going there with the mindset of helping others..ah sorry I don't mean that in the way that it sounds. But when helping others, we go in thinking we're there to help/be a blessing to those we're helping. But God is so fracking amazing that He uses those we are sent to help to bless us as well. God's an amazing planner/architect/creator. He just makes things happen that blow our little tiny minds.

HAHA.
