Who Am I and Why Am I a Book?

Who am I and why am I a living book?
A Light
First, I desire for the Lord to allow me to be a light to all those who I either come into contact, associate with, who I am friends with, who I work with, play with, go to school with, and most importantly, who the Lord leads me to and the events that He brings me through to show His light, His Glory, His compassion, His Mercy, His knowledge, His leading by the Holy Spirit within me to be a testimony to others. This is leaving proof that He does live and our Lord Jesus Christ is always there for us and guides us each step of the way.
A Teacher
We, my husband and I homeschooled our children when they were little, and now during this current time of their lives and through all that happens on a daily basis within their lives and ours, are a constant teacher to them, to train them in the ways they should go, to give them advice when advice is needed, to show them the way, by example and leading, by encouragement and support, and knowing the our Lord gives all this needed, sufficient for the task to do what we are called to do in each specific event as it happens. My going back to school for over 3 years, achieving my Bachelor’s in Accounting degree, making it through all the adversities that were in the path along the way has given and shown my kids as well as others, all things are possible, can be worked through and accomplished.
A Wife
The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful husband, Curt, for the past 20 years, and asking for many more with him. I know that we complement each other very well. He is more reserved, and I am vocal and ask questions that he only thinks of. We work well together on projects, getting household stuff done, with finances, raising our 4 kids, and supporting each other in everything we do. We know that we need to discuss our thoughts and ideas, and also know that we have to have agreement on the issue, otherwise is not doable, that is our commitment to each other, to always think of the other and do unto him as I would want him to do unto me.
A Mother
Curt and I have 4 lovely children, ranging in age from 16, almost 17 to age 7, with 3 boys and 1 girl, and with our two youngest being adopted, we have been truly blessed to have this opportunity to raise the children the Lord has given us, to raise them in a Godly manner, with most importantly, a relationship with God, knowing He is more important and first in our lives. As a mother, I have been given a huge responsibility to train up my children in the ways they should go, train them to know right from wrong, train them to here God’s small still voice, and know that if I have done my job, they will not depart from His ways as they mature into adulthood. We all have choices, and at times make wrong ones, a process of life, but knowing they have a good foundation is what matters to me.
A pot
I pray that I can be clay, a pot that needs forming, molding, shaping, ever changing to be more like our Lord Jesus Christ. Scripture states that God is the potter, and we are the clay, so that He can shape me and my family into His image more and more each day, until the day we meet Him in heaven, then and only then would I achieve completeness in Him and know that He would say “Well done thou good and faithful servant”. Until then, I continue to do His work, His homework, be His light, and shine in a darkened world.
