At the beginning of this month (April), we have decided to post one or two things each we want to do, to get, or to see happen in the upcoming month. This is going to be habitual. Enjoy our goals, desires and lighthearted banter, maybe even come up with your own goals.


Lydia: Well the week of April 5th-12th elections are going to be taking place in Sudan (Africa) that will determine whether or not Southern Sudan is going to become it's own nation. The Comprehensive Peace Agreement that was established between North and South Sudan is going to expire next July and peace really must be reached before then.

This beautiful country is balancing between more civil war (death, carnage) and peace, however fragile it may be. I want so much for peace to be established so that Sudanese babies may grow strong and Sudanese adults may rest, embrace their heritage, and raise their children.

On a lighter note and because I'm not that self-less, I want to soak up three days' worth of spring sunshine!


Brianna: Gao Zhisheng, he is a human rights lawyer in China. He has been missing for over a year. Until now, when he has contacted his family...he is alive. Someone's dad is alive. Someone's husband, someone's child...he is alive. This month my goal is to pray for the people like him who are missing and pray for the families who have lost their husband, father, child, etc. to this kind of thing.

Also, I'm going to blow bubbles at least once a week.
