It is difficult to forget what lies behind, pondering upon the mistakes and errors and failures in my life. The decisions and events that have led to the place where I am today.
The 'should have', 'could have', 'would have' and 'if only'. As well as the affect of the wear and tear that it has had on my family.
Along with waking up in the middle of the night with all of these thoughts of what lies behind pummeling through my brain, disturbing my sleep. And the ever present frustrating dreams of never being able to reach the goal.
But Paul encourages us to forget what lies behind and reach for what lies ahead. The hard part is that I have no idea what lies ahead. No dream, no plan, no inkling of what the steps of my path should be!
So here I sit asking and earnestly seeking what shall I reach forward to Lord?
...but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead...
Philippians 3:13
