Onward and Upward

I've been reading a really good book by Sheri Dew called, "God Wants A Powerful People." Very insightful and meaningful for anyone wanting to become closer to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. One particular chapter I really liked was entitled: Going Forward by Backing up. In the chapter she talked about the expression Onward and Upward. This is quoted by Sheri, but I really loved it.

"This life is not about perfection, but progression. It's about persistently, consciously pressing forward--- ONWARD--- and persistently consciously trying to elevate everything from our habits to our pursuits---UPWARD. The irony is that in order to continue Onward and Upward, we often have to back up and change something about our attitude, our approach, our habits, our mistakes, our understanding."

We face so many obstacles, challenges and trials in this life. We need to remember we are not perfect but yet can strive to be as such. Its all about progression, enduring and repentance. Getting through life is hard and sometimes we need to make small or even big course corrections to the path we find ourselves on. I love this phrase! Simple but True!
