Today’s writing was done by Deborah’s daughter, Briley. Briley is finishing her junior year at Georgetown High School.

My mom has taught me a lot. She has taught me how to cook, how to be a good listener, but more importantly how to work hard. I have watched her since I was a little girl working hard as a teacher and now as an instructional coach. I have always looked up to her and continue to do that as my goal after high school is to become a teacher and hopefully be just as good as she is. She has not only shown me that you have to work hard in your job but that you also have to work hard for the Lord. I have very fond memories with my mom at church or when we used to say my prayers together when I was little. She works hard to make sure people know that God loves everyone and will be here for us no matter what by sharing on the blog, doing things with the church, and even in everyday situations you can tell the Lord is working through her. She is someone I aspire to be like when I am older not only in my work place but also in my walk with Jesus.
