Sometimes life doesn't always go as planned. I've always told my kids, "when you fail, get up, and try, try again!" I had to practice exactly what I've preached to them over the years. I am praying that my story will encourage you to not lose hope, to not give up.

If you've failed in an area of your life or ministry - get up! Straighten your clothes and fix your hair (if you have any left worth fixing) and try, try again. You are worth it, God deserves it, and your people need it.

I think it was Zig Ziglar who said, I never fail, I only learn. I either win or I learn. I've been learning a lot these days...
