Fasting for Shane

Today is day three of a fast that Shane, Rachel, Caroline, Nick and I have all been on. We started a Sun up - Sun down fast in which none of us are eating anything and then allowing ourselves only one meal after the sun has set. As the days go on I feel it becoming harder and harder, but we are praying and standing steadfast in our faith that God is going to provide some answers, bring about resources making a way, and honor our sacrifice. In addition to food, Caroline also gave up coffee, and if you know Caroline, Starbucks is like her blood supply. I also gave up smoking. Big things require big sacrifices and we are expecting big things to take place. I also have lots of people that I work with praying as well, and knowing this campus that makes alot of strong prayer warriors. Now I am simply asking that all of our friends that read this as well pray and believe big with us. I know Shane's vision for a new shop and it is going to be awesome. Every week he is bringing someone new to church with us and I know it is going to multiply and that God is going to use him mightily. He is able to reach so many people, has been anointed with charsima to reach a generation that others cannot, and is bold for the Lord. Shane does not live in fear and is not afraid to share the gospel with anyone. I love seeing that! Right now I just feel like there is some testing that is taking place. Shane hasn't been saved long, but I do believe that God is ready to use him mightily and is wasting no time raising him up and is letting him weather his challenges early to bring about something awesome through him, and that it is going to take place very soon. I am just honored that I am around to witness God's hand moving once more.
