My 25 year old sister is evil in my opinion. Very manipulative and always finds a way to get anything she needs from my parents. Im too embarassed to tell them I have no money so I told my mom I was low the other day and needed gas money, Id been riding on empty for 3 days; my boyfriend told me to go to his house to get his church bands money and he'd put it back but that didn't feel right so I never did. My mom gave me $20 and said "we're not starting this"..... I never ask for money. Ever. Really hurts my feelings when all I do is work and go to school and still live at home and my sister (who has a growing family) seems to get covered. My parents can be selfish. They go out to eat often and don't get me dinner. They expect me to fend my myself (im an 18 year old college student...) there's never meals in the house since they stopped cooking. Just things like vegetables or canned soups and oatmeal... I don't Usually eat breakfast either. We're by no means a poor family. We can afford these things. But my parents choose not to when I keep asking for food or shampoo or whatver. 

Anyways. Since I can't afford my meals, I had taken some change from their "piggy bank" and used my discount at work to get some

Crackers. I told a woman I work with who is somewhat a friend that this would be dinner and maybe oatmeal. I said it jokingly Cuz I'm used to it now. She asked why so I said I don't have any money at all, I can't afford any meals. She kinda walked off and I didn't think about it. 

We were all heading to the back to start shutting down and she called me over, odd. She handed me $20. $10 from her and $10 from another co worker. We both started tearing up and she said it's not right for me to not eat. I gave them both a hug and said they didn't have to do that I didn't ask for anything. Then man I work with said it was no problem if I need a few dollars for food and that I'll get everything I need, just talk to the lord Jesus and it will be provided. 

This all happened Tuesday. I felt acknowledged. I didn't have to worry for a bit. Very grateful... Today the woman I work with was asking what canned foods I like because she'll get me a little for Christmas. People can be so generous. I've never been in this situation. I mean I've spent $50 on a Victoria's Secret bra and didn't think about it and here I am wondering where I'll get my next meal from while my parents eat and don't ask me if I'm okay. I've just been feeling so low and like I don't even matter to anyone and this really opened my eyes. Sometimes strangers care more than family. But God puts us in places for a reason. He has a plan. Im still so surprised and happy. (Sorry for such a long post but there was too much to explain!) so people, be kind always, show people Christ. You'll be taken care of.
