In the Still of the Night

I reflect on my day. I make note of my mistakes, of any apologies I need to make, of things I should have said or done differently. I compare my list of what I should have gotten done with what I actually did. I think of what I need to do tomorrow. Sometimes I feel driven to "do the math", other times I simply fall on my knees in prayer.
But I end each day in quiet stillness by myself. I've grown accustomed to it, and enjoy it. It's a different stillness than the stillness of the morning. It doesn't inspire me to do laundry or scrub floors like morning stillness does. It inspires me to reflect, to think about my life and what I'm doing with it. It's the time I think about things like where we'll be five years from now, how our missionaries are faring on the other side of the world, and what plans I have or ought to have for the future.
Do you have a time of stillness? A time to yourself to think? A time to look at yourself as you really are, and see if you need to make changes? I'm not talking about a personal time of Bible reading and prayer (which is essential), but a time of genuine reflection. I will never know how far I've come if I never pause and look back.
