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.
