It's Steve ("Stevie Mac").  There.. are.. no.. words....0_o....
Watch, laugh, repeat!

I'd like to strongly encourage all of us here at Revelife.com who use ShoutLife.com (or/and believe in the ministry of ShoutLife.com) to fast and pray for ShoutLife.com.

For the next full seven days and nights, let's do this.  What is the focus? ShoutLife.com, every single staff member, volunteers, family members, users, etc.  Basically anything and anyone directly or indirectly related to/that is involved with ShoutLife.com.

Please don't misunderstand what fasting means.  Yes, the typical and oldest form of fasting is from food and certain types of beverages.  There's even different Biblical fasts (Daniel fast being one of them).  In general, I'd like to encourage all of us to fast from... something... at least one thing or more.  If you're unable to fast from food, fast from the usual amount of food you eat.  If you usually drink sodas or any other beverage out there that you really really enjoy drinking, fast from that particular beverage.  If you're on the internet for at least one hour every day, cut back on that.  If you watch certain television shows during the week, don't watch them during these next 7 days.

WHATEVER you sense the Lord leading you to do.. whatever amount of time you would normally spend on that/those things, spend that time with more worshiping the Lord (or more quiet time with Him, or however you encounter your personal one-on-one time with the Lord).  ALSO.. whatever dollar amount you would normally spend on whatever it is you would  normally do, take that same dollar amount and give it to your church (as an addition to your usual tithe) to go towards whatever part of your church's ministry you see fit.  If you don't have a home church, well then, come up with a body-of-Christ edifying and creative idea for that dollar amount.  =)

I hope and pray that all of us will, in some fashion, agree to fast and pray for the next full seven days and nights for ShoutLife.com, every single staff member, volunteers, family members, users, etc.  Basically anything and anyone directly or indirectly related to/that is involved with ShoutLife.com.

Let's ALSO not forget to take notes of what comes to mind during this time of fasting and praying.  Keep some sort of writing utensil and paper with you (or your Palm Pilot)... whatever it is that is portable enough so you can whip it out and inscribe upon it wherever you may be, okay?

Thank you for reading this and taking it to heart, folks.  Have a wonderful week!

I'm bawling my eyes out as I try to type this and get it out of my system before heading to bed.

There is a silent rapture happening within me-- I can't even attempt to hold on to any sort of comfort zones.
Everything is being stripped away from me that was once "normal" -- I feel like Eve & Adam realizing they were bare for the first time (so to speak).

There is great and wonderful comfort in knowing that with the guidance of two sets of spirital parents/mentors (as well as other Believers who agreed to fast and pray with me for a certain amount of time for me/with me).....that I know that I know that I KNOW I need to only continue doing what I've been doing.

Paul and Jesus on the waters.  Paul stepping out of the boat.  This is different.  God is eye to eye with me-- no distance.  He isn't wanting anyone or anything that has no right to be in my life to be in it...period... same with circumstances.  He is wanting me to stay focused on the whites of his eyes.  I can't even attempt to look down where I'm going.  Not to my left, not to my right, not up, not down.... He is moving backwards and guiding me forwards as I follow in His steps.  He is desiring and requring me to focus solely on Him through any and all circumstances.

No.  You don't understand (reader).  This has been the most intense and intimate time with Christ I have ever had in my entire life.  I didn't think it was possible to sense God's presence in my life this much.  BUT you know what?? WE ARE AS CLOSE TO GOD AS WE CHOOSE TO BE.  Meditate on that for a while-- chew on it.

This is such an unusual time in my life.  I'm truly thankful that I'm going through this right now instead of after I'm married and have the added responsibilities of being a wife, mother and other things. 

Boy-oh-boy do I have a buttload of testimonies to share with the world.  Watch out.  Here I come.
