My how time flies! I didn’t realize how long it has been since I posted. Since my last post we have remodeled our kitchen, William Bruce, my baby, graduated from high school, he relocated to Athens and got a new job, and I entered into a new job. Can you say whirlwind! But all is wonderful! We are blessed beyond measure!

About a month ago Violet sent me a request for a bus she found that she wanted to buy for the school children. It could also be used to make money when not in use for the school. I told her we would need to be praying about it. A few days later Biziwick texted me a worrisome text asking me to tell Violet to take some water. She had been in their quiet room fasting and praying since the day before concerning the bus. She had not had food or water and was very weak. I told him she has set her face her face like flint before our Father and I can not interfere with that. That evening she came out of the room and ate. Fast forward a couple of weeks to Friday Aug.26th…I get a phone call from a very dear friend asking if I have time to meet up with her over that weekend. Of course I would drop everything for her. She proceeds to tell me that her and her husband wanted to make a donation to FWM. I thank her and tell her that would be great! She then tells me they want to donate $10,000!!!!!!!! We both are in tears at this point. She wants to donate it in Honor of William Bruce Goodwin (my son) and Eion Madden, who are a couple of Seth Jones best friends, and in memory of Seth Jones! I am speechless!!

I had forgotten about the bus, because I laid it at His feet and left it. In that moment on the phone I asked the Lord what I was supposed to do with that much money?? He said very clearly, “THE BUS!” The rest of the day is a blur. I was in shock! I called my husband and told him in tears, “Baby!!! GOD JUST BOUGHT THOSE BABIES A BUS!!!!!!!!!!” He said here! NO PROBLEM!! “All things are possible with GOD!!” Below are pictures of the sellers and Biziwick and Violet buying the bus. This money covered the $6500 for the bus, repairs, maintenance, new tires, seats recovered, painting, fixing the ceiling, insurance, money for a driver…EVERYTHING!!

The next set of pictures is of the bus during transformation!! Amazing!! I am humbled beyond words! Thank you so much to my sweet friends (who choose to remain anonymous) for this more than generous donation! This is a life changer for so many. Everyone who gets on that bus will feel the love of Jesus and know they have been in His presence! And I thank God for His provision that leaves us speechless!!!

SETH JONES…YOU will never be forgotten!! We will see you again one day soon!! We know that where you are…in the presence of THE ALMIGHTY… is such a sweet sweet place and we can’t wait to join you!! Until then, we will continue to run our races with perseverance. “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Phil 1:21. It’s a win win dear friend and we give HIM ALL THE GLORY!! We love you and miss you!!!
