Philippians 3:13, 14 NIV

"Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13, 14 NIV

Today Josh and I went with Alexis and Tori to church. Glad we did. The message today is above. Forgetting and moving ahead. I liked this message today for numerous reasons. One would be for my relationships with others. I think we all tend to hold a grudges at some point in time, but I am really going to work at letting things go. In my later ages, I've been much better at this, but can always improve. I value all my relationships and hope I prove to be understanding in each of them.

The second thing reason why this verse hit home, not pun intended, was for our softball team. This group of girls is exceptionally hard on themselves. They are smart and talented. I don't have to really 'yell' at them. However, after a mistake, they need to learn to let it go and move on to keep working toward our goal of winning each game. No one is perfect. Everyone will make mistakes, but its how we deal with them that makes us successful in the end. We need to let go and move on. :)

Today was a great day, but I kept coming back to this verse. I hope to share it with my team tomorrow. Thank you Alexis and Tori for going with Josh and me to church today. I am thankful we went to hear a great message and of course for lunch at Panera afterwards.
