Not 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.

So what exactly is Pressing Toward the Mark? Well, I think the Bible verse I have up there says it all. Paul said it well when he said that he hadn't already obtained all these things or was perfect. Rather, in spite of his imperfectness, he continued to press on and reach for the prize of the high calling of God. Which is also my goal. I am by no means perfect - not even close to it! But I will continue to be a broken arrow straining towards The Mark.
When circumstances seem impossible, when all signs of grace in you seem at their lowest ebb, when temptation is fiercest, when love and joy and hope seem well-nigh extinguished in your heart, then rest, without feeling and without emotion, in the Father's faithfulness. ~D. Tryon
