There are grave difficulties on every hand, and more are looming ahead.

Therefore we must go ahead. — William Carey, missionary

I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back. — St. Paul, Philippians 3:14, the Message version
