Day 5 – 60-60 Experiment

3 years ago

by Lundie

There’s a lot going on in my head, in my life, in my spirit. I have wanted to blog about it several times, but I don’t yet have the words.

This Experiment has, so far, been the most profoundly impactful thing I’ve done. It’s bringing things to the forefront that I haven’t really dealt with yet. It’s humbling me and refining me. It’s also giving me a level of connection with God that I don’t know if I’ve maintained very often, but don’t want to do without.

I got a copy of Soul Reflection yesterday (Thanks, Mike!), and I can tell you this…when it’s released, I’ll be recommending it to anyone who wants to change their life.

God is good. God is here among us. And he’s ready for you, whenever you ask!

I’m an Organizing Junkie’s Menu Plan Monday

Ok, so I’m a little slow. Just realized why it’s a phenomenal idea to be part of this Menu Plan Monday. Sure, it’s fun to be part of something, and yeah, I like a little extra traffic, but DUH! When I sit down to do this most hated of all household chores, there’s actually a whole bunch of other women who have shared what they came up with for the week! And some of them even actually link to recipes and show pictures! Woo-HOO! (I still hate doing it, but thanks for making it all a bit easier!)

Weekday Dinners / Weekend Breakfasts

Tuesday – BBQ Crockpot Chicken, Salad

Wednesday – Leftover Chicken, Salad

Thursday – Easy Roasted Pork, Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes, Mixed Veggies

Day 1 – 60-60 Experiment

Wow. That’s all I can say, really. I probably won’t be posting a great deal of details about my journey. I am journaling offline. I do hope to post once in a while with any particularly impactful discoveries.

I’ve been carrying around a kitchen timer all day. It’s amazing how fast an hour can go sometimes. But I’m not complaining. There’s a lot to be said for choosing to remember on an hourly basis that I am not alone – that God is RIGHT HERE all the time, ready to interact with me whenever I want/need to.

I’m still praying and looking for a few people to participate in this challenge with me. If anyone is interested, you can click HERE to view the first two chapters of John’s book. And if anyone is already participating in the Experiment, I would love to hear how it’s going for you!

“For the next 60 days, try to stay in a continuous, honest conversation with God, willing to do his will moment by moment.”

– SoulRevolution.net

This is the beginning of a challenge put forth by John Burke in his soon to be released book, Soul Revolution: How Imperfect People Become All God Intended.

John Burke spoke at the Leadership Summit and lodged some serious nuggets in my brain.

I missed out on being able to buy an advanced copy of his book. Sadly, I was unaware that it had not yet hit stores, so I just figured I’d pick one up from Amazon. It will not be shipped until October 1.

But God is moving in my mind and in my heart. I am going to start the challenge by myself, right now. Life’s too short, and this is too important, to put off until later.

Anyone want to join me?

I read Dave Ferguson’s blog entry last night on hearing from God everyday.

I watched portions of a video on the DARPA Grand Challenge, a competition to create driverless cars. In the video they explained how the software had to be written to handle the plethora of course corrections needed to keep the vehicles on course as things in the environment changed around them.

I realized that we’re made exactly the same way. We can’t expect our weekly “church fix” of guidance from God to keep us fed and motivated and guided through all the “stuff” that comes up throughout the week. Goodness – try all the “stuff” that comes up throughout a single DAY!

Not unlike the satellites that feed directions to the GPS units, we have a Father who has the birds’ eye view of life as we know it. Why WOULDN’T I tap into that? He’s free. He’s available 24/7. No hardware needed.

Yeah. Just a thought…
