Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead - Philippians 3:12-14
Much of our challenge is in accepting failures without feeling like failures
Peter and Judas were both betrayers
Peter was forgiven and Judas would have too if he had not killed himself
Mistakes are part of the growing process
Gospel allows us to start over and over again
Failure to achieve dreams is one our greatest challenges from our past
Shock > denial > anger > depression, apathy, or peace (grace of God)
BIG PICTURE - being right with God, growing in our relationship with him, and helping others
