Day 23
I am grouchy today. After yesterday’s nightmare news with Mandate Darfur being cancelled I am really discouraged. Seems we just continue to receive bad news from Darfur and then just continue with our day. I am guilty of this, I am still not doing enough. There needs to be a global uproar…. crying out from every corner of the world… we must fight for peace. If we could see peace in Darfur perhaps then we would see a domino effect of human rights and tolerance taking center stage. This is my prayer. My prayers are desperate at this point. They are focused on a miracle as now it seems that is what we need.
I would encourage any of you in this fight to surround yourselves with friends and others who are like minded with you in this cause. I could never do this without a fantastic community of others who are in the fight. I am grateful for each of them and count myself blessed to have them in my life.
Pray for change.
Sometimes, I feel like I am not doing enough either. I know that I have to seek balance and take time for myself. But I struggle to figure out how to make the best impact, that ripples through communities and reaches our leaders. Ever since I returned from this last trip in April, I can not keep the tears inside…I cried when I read a friend’s child a book called, “Love you Forever, Like you for Always” about a mother and son. I am tearing up just writing this. I am angry, and I struggle to find joy these days too. I am not even fasting as much as you! I hope that people like us can continue to make the impacts we are making and know that we are making a difference, we are empowering others. But even as I write those words, it’s hard to internalize it, I still feel like I am guilty of being a bystander.
a big hug and much love to you,

3Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m
4going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
