moving ahead

So now that my final Lenten Fast is closing I am thinking about the specifics of what is next. Here is what I know so far:

- God is still fairly quiet. I am hearing more from Him now but only bits. The Word is also still flat for me.

- The Book on fasting from Piper has been instrumental in reshaping my thinking about what God wants from me in the future. I believe God may be calling me to be a fasting intercessor for causes all around the world. I know I would like to pray for Love146 but I have no specific direction from the Lord what HE would like me to be praying for. So still waiting there.

- I do believe that the word I heard from the Lord "I want you hungry" is in reference to many things:
      ~ first that is about fasting regularly for causes
      ~ and second that it is about being hungry for Him - always! Piper put this all very well in his book
         here are a couple of quotes:
Yes, the kingdom has broken in. Yes, there is deep drinking even now on the end time glory manifest in Christ and experienced by His Spirit. But, no, this is not so full and uninterrupted that aching and longing and desiring are completely over come."
and
The strongest, most mature christians I have ever met are the hungriest for God. It might seem that those who eat most would be least hungry. But that is not the way it works with an inexhaustible fountain, and an infinite feast, and a glorious Lord. When you take your stand on the finished work of God in Christ, and begin to drink from the River of Life and eat the Bread of Heaven, and know that you have found the end of all your longings, YOU ONLY GET HUNGRIER FOR GOD.

- That from now on the Lord wants me to pray before every bite that I eat - so that I can discern whether or not I am to eat or fast, and if I am to eat - what exactly He wants me to eat. I received this word from the Lord through my own mouth a couple of years ago, but I chose to... ignore it? - put it off? - not sure which... because it seemed WAY TOO HARD. It still seems hard, but now - totally necessary.
       ~ so knowing how hard that will be, and that I still have quite a bit of weight to lose, and that I need to be practical in this while I practice... I plan to continue with Medifast. This involves 4 meals of their making 4 times a day, and 2 of my own that involve eating meat and veggies. So for the 2 meals that I will be choosing - I will practice praying beforehand and asking the Lord whether I am to eat - and what that should be, or whether I am to fast and what I am to be praying about. This should prove to be super hard, really good, and be a mess all at the same time. I am going to have to learn to hear God very clearly!! It will be like listening/eating/praying/fasting boot camp. Sounds exciting and crazy all rolled into one!

So lovely readers - prayer would be greatly appreciated!!!
