The 60-60 Experiment is basically taking a minute out of every 60 for 60 days to stop and be conscious that God is with me right now. Thus, knowing that brings me to the next thought, which is, “What is His will for me at this moment?” The whole point is developing a habit of communing with God minute-by-minute.

This isn’t exactly new. I’ve actually been doing this already, but it’s not like I’m conscious of doing it continuously. I’m sure, hours have passed that I haven’t talked to God (mostly while I’m playing Plants vs. Zombies. heh). For the 60-60 Experiment, I followed the instructions and set my phone to ring every hour with a reminder “Re: 60-60″ every hour for the next 60 days… well, only from 6am to 11pm. I should be asleep in between those times. hehe

If you’re doing this with me, it would also be nice to encourage other people to join you. My friends from the Single Adults Ministry (SAM) from WINmakati have agreed to meet for lunch every Sunday after the service to discuss about our own 60-60 Experiment experiences. If you don’t have a group, do blog or post a comment here about your breakthroughs.

If you’re just starting, here’s the Truth Thursday prompt to get you started. for your minutes, you can meditate on the characteristics of God… so the prompt for today is:

GOD IS…

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRUTH THURSDAY:

1. Every Thursday, i will post a question or a prompt on this blog and participants will write something that answers the question or was inspired by it. (or post pictures or artworks!)
2. Participants who wrote something for that Thursday must leave a link on the comment box of that day’s prompt to let people know that they have posted.
3. TRUTH THURSDAY must be on the Title of your entry, followed by the question (so people will know).
4. This does not have to be emo– although these things tend to be a bit on the emo side, but TRUTH THURSDAYS are meant to be a fun way to bond through blog, and to get people writing and posting something meaningful and real. (disclaimer: this isn’t to say that you’re not doing so already!)
5. No pressure. Just be inspired and post something!
6. Be TRUTHFUL!

So, about Day 1… it’s normal, except that my phone buzzes every hour to remind me. Since this has already been a habit anyway, it didn’t really break my stride. But I love it every time my phone rings with the reminder.

I attended the midweek service at WinMakati as usual. And I take the time to sit in my car for a few deep breaths and a prayer. This is supposed to be a secret, but since it’s part of the experiment now, I might as well share it… I’m always anxious and nervous whenever I go to church. Not because I’m not sure if I should stay, but it’s just part of the post-break up process, I guess… the dread. hahaha! But as soon as I’m inside and just hanging out, the nervousness go away and everything is all right in the world again.

Consciously praying more now also helps me see the need and be more sensitive to the need around me. Which is cool.

Ok, I’m sleepy and tired now, but I can’t wait for tomorrow. It has no mistakes in it yet.
