Greetings! My name is Heidi Christison. Who am I?... I am a mother of four children, ranging in age from 9 years to 7 months. I love my children deeply, yes I would die for any one of them. But I am not a perfect mother. I am a wife. I am the only wife of one loving husband, whom I love very much. We work together well, as we try to make our home run smoothly. But I am not a perfect wife. I am a teacher. I am a teacher for my children at home. I am a teacher for other people’s children from my home. I am a substitute teacher sometimes, away from my home. From my experiences with teaching, I have seen that how we choose to educate our children has a tremendous influence on their futures, both academically and spiritually. I have come to believe that, to educate at home, is a better option. But, I am not a perfect teacher. So who am I? I am all these things, and more, all the time. I am the busiest I have ever been in all my life. I see how short I fall from the ideal in all these roles. But, I am also the happiest, the most fulfilled and content that I have ever been in my life. Why? Because even though I am not perfect, I have more fully come to realize who I really am. I am a child of God. Because of that, I can have peace and joy. I can rest in His love, and trust that His perfection will make up for where I lack — in every role that I fill. He is my strength and my song.
