I will no longer be named failure. Failure was never my name. I was sometimes exhausted Sometimes sabotaged Sometimes stretched too thin But these things are not failure. In the sharing of faith, to live authenticity is most important. In my exhaustion I taught gentleness. In my perseverance I taught strength. In my stress I taught courage, patience, and faithfulness. My name was never failure. My curriculum was the act of living faith, of building trust, of relationships built in acceptance and care. I was never a failure. I was important. I made a difference.

Failure Is Not My Name
I will no longer be named failure. Failure was never my name. I was sometimes exhausted Sometimes sabotaged Sometimes stretched too thin But these things are not failure. In the sharing of faith, to live authenticity is most important. In my exhaustion I taught gentleness. In my perseverance I taught strength. In my stress I taught courage, patience, and faithfulness. My name was never failure. My curriculum was the act of living faith, of building trust, of relationships built in acceptance and care. I was never a failure. I was important. I made a difference.
