And... GO! Today is the day! I'm proud of you for your desire to be MORE. The great (and sometimes daunting) thing about this journey is that it has no foreseeable finish line. It is a lifelong endeavor; Paul put it best in Philippians 3,
12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, 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.
I also like the simplicity and frankness of the Contemporary English Version:
12I have not yet reached my goal, and I am not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of me. So I keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize. 13My friends, I don't feel that I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for what is ahead. 14I run toward the goal, so that I can win the prize of being called to heaven. This is the prize that God offers because of what Christ Jesus has done.
I think each of the areas you mentioned are vital parts of this "pressing on". So put what is behind you BEHIND you, and run with pereverance the race set out before you. And remember, Michael: you don't need to worry about the areas in which you are UNABLE. You just need to know that God is ABLE, when his timing is right. SO PRESS ON! Take hold of the prize! We are praying for you!
