"Even on days when I don't believe in God, I still will tell you that one night, while sitting in church, I heard God's voice, naming a resurrection of sorts, telling me I could stay"(p. 149). Ho have you heard God speak to you? Have you experienced a moment that was a turning point for your life, where you heard God speak and then understood that your life would go in a different direction?
Winner meet a woman who tells her, "That is how my spiritual life has always moved. Like a Jewish day, from darkness and then into light" (p. 150). It's a simple metaphor but profound. Does it help to view your spiritual journey as a movement from darkness into light? Even when God seems absent, can you still be moving toward light?
For tomorrow: please read pages 153-159.

There have been times when God has spoken to me but I didn't understand the message. Translation came later. (That sounds like a sermon title) I agree with the darkness to light image. There are times when there have been dark nights of the soul for me. Not with a lack of faith but with a lack of knowing my purpose. There have been times of confusion and doubt in what I do. In each of these cases, there has been the image of darkness to light; of peace from strife/battle; safety from danger.
