Fast for Darfur – 4 years no change

I will be reposting my journal entries from 2009, sadly they are still as relevant today as they were four years ago… nothing has changed.

Day 27
May 13, 2009 

A great friend made a comment today about joy. This is something that I have been missing quite a bit in my life lately. Amidst a terrible despair about the state of the globe and the lack of my normal intake of calories I really have been angry and saddened. I must find a way to experience and exude joy in my life even though I am saddened by so … View Full Post

Day 22

I was actually a bit hungry today which was kind of surprising as I haven’t been hungry in a while. This morning started off with news of Mia needing to stop the fast. I was so encouraged by her heart and passion for this and am so grateful to Richard for taking the baton. There was also some bad news from Sudan. An extremely important conference that was to take place in Ethiopia this weekend has been cancelled due to intimidation by the Government of Sudan. Bashir continues to wield his evil ways and we … View Full Post

Day 22

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 … View Full Post

Day 16 of fast
I am definitely less hungry than I was, the smaller amount of calories I am eating (around 800 a day) seem to keep my stomach from grumbling. I still get extremely tired around 3 everyday and stay tired until I go to bed. My brain is working less well too…. I have a harder time remembering names, etc. I have had this really odd taste in my mouth … View Full Post
