Seeds of Grace: Farewell 2012

As the final hours of 2012 slip away I thought the blog deserved one last post for the year. Even though we have been lax in our writing, we have been busy. We have our very own business bank account as a non-profit. The best part is there is actually a little bit of money in the account. As of the first of December all the new moms from our first class have given birth, two boys and two girls. Some of the girls are continuing to keep in touch and for that we are grateful.

In December we made the decision to expand Book Bus once again. On the second Saturday we loaded up the trailer and went from Melrose, to High Ridge in Keystone and for the first time drove the 15 miles out to McRae to share books with that community. To say we were well received would be an understatement. There were no less than 75 visitors at that stop! What I haven’t even mentioned yet is that we had a guest that Saturday. A reporter from the Times Union spent the day with us. She wrote an amazing article that really captured all that Carey and I have been trying to do. It was great to get the publicity. We have received several responses to the article, people offering books and even gas cards to help defray some of our costs. Everyone who has contacted us has been supportive and encouraging of our ministry.

I’m not sure what 2013 holds for Seeds of Grace but we know that Book Bus will continue as well as a brand new mom’s class with new mothers to be. Carey and I still dream of a real bus/ truck with music and brightly colored paint. However the old truck/trailer gets the job done, so no complaining. We have a few new faces on the scene helping with our Mom’s Class and starting a Couponing Class too. Who knows what else will reveal itself as the year unfolds. All I know is God is good, all the time, and he shows us that time and time again through each endeavor we set out to do. We welcome you to join us in any way you feel led. Wishing you a fulfilling 2013.
