Day 3

I'm not sure if I will actually be detailing my journey each and every day, but right now there seem to be enough noteworthy things going on in the beginning.

Last night at 1am I was woken up by my roommate telling me she just saw my car get broken into. The suspect smashed my window and took my purse that included ID, debit/credit cards, gap gift card, itunes gift card, chapstick, and other things that aren't very valuable and don't mean too much to me but they will be missed. I stayed up for about 2 hours, my step father came and helped me tape up the window, sweep up the glass, tell me what I need to do today and pray for me. I went to sleep, called in sick to both jobs, and my sister drove me around to figure out issues with the bank, DOL, and police station to get the case number. Basically, I can't start a new account at the bank until I have my ID. I can't get my ID today because the DOL is not open on mondays. I don't have money because I can't get into my checking account which means I don't have money to pay for gas, for the glass to be repaired, or for my replacement ID. My bank did let me cash part of a paycheck I was gonna cash anyway, but that was against their rules. Jesus definitely showed me favor in that situation.

The good news is, my dad is a giver and is paying for a lot of things. Also, I knew that after last night, something was going to happen. You can't go through change and standing up against the enemy without him getting very angry and wanting to destroy what you've done. So, I say, too bad, I am a child of God, nothing you can do can harm me. My God is bigger, my Jesus conquered the grave. What else is there?

As far as the diet goes, I have done surprisingly well today. This is something that normally would have made me give up and eat some chocolate. But again, I have refrained.

Breakfast: Leftover oatmeal that I hadn't eaten yesterday.

Lunch: Veggies and hummus (my favorite obviously). Meat, beans, and rice in a tortilla. Yes, the tortilla was a flour tortilla, meaning it had wheat and gluten in it but I had already bought the tortillas and my mom keeps telling me to not go insane on this diet. So I thought about it, and I decided that I didn't want to waste the tortillas and I needed something to put all the meat, beans, and rice into. I would have been able to get corn or rice tortillas BUT, no access to my money.

Dinner: I will probably finish off the lentil soup I made yesterday along with, you guessed it, veggies and hummus!
