• El examen es una forma de inventario personal. Al final del día, dedica un tiempo a reflexionar en oración sobre tu jornada: tus idas y venidas, rutinas e interrupciones, trabajo y diversión, descubrimientos y decepciones. Piensa con quién te has encontrado o a quién has echado de menos. Piensa en tus momentos de soledad. En total, hazte dos preguntas: ¿cuándo me he sentido más vivo, más presente, más pleno y realizado hoy? ¿Y cuándo me he sentido más agotado, estresado, distraído y agotado? Una versión más sencilla, y más enfocada espiritualmente, de esas preguntas: ¿cuándo me he sentido más cerca de Dios, y cuándo más lejos?

• And then God gave me insight: this was winter. It would end, in time, but not by my own doing. My responsibility was simply to know the season, and match my actions and inactions to it. It was to learn the slow hard discipline of waiting. It was my season to believe in spite of-to believe in the absence of evidence or emotion, when there's nothing, no bud, no color, no light, no birdsong, to validate belief. It was my time to walk without sight.

• Once we begin to flee the things that threaten and burden us, there is no end to fleeing. God's solution is surprising. He offers rest. But it's a unique form of rest. It's to rest in him in the midst of our threats and our burdens. It's discovering, as David did in seasons of distress, that God is our rock and refuge right in the thick of our situation.
