We've been attending The Seed since October of 2021. My husband and I have been what some would call, hiding out. Of course our kids walked in to Seed Kids with an open heart, ready to love every single person they come across. Miss Julie, Miss Amber in the toddler room and all the teachers in Seed Kids were the main reason we knew we chose the right place from the very first day, My husband and I haven't sat in church together for 4 years since our youngest son was born, but thanks to Miss Amber's patience and the work of the Holy Spirit in this church, we have been able to sit together in church almost every single Sunday since October!!! That in itself is a PRAISE GOD kinda thing. I'm really here to talk about another way God has showed out because of our new view on tithing thanks to The Seed. Before, it was nerve wrecking to tithe sometimes because it was the same, robotic routine. 'it's time to tithe, if you don't you wont see financial blessings.' That resulted in my faith to slip to an all time low because when financial struggle came, i wondered why God was punishing us when we hardly had anything to give yet, we TRY to do everything in our life to glorify Him. The Seed does it as an act of worship, as it was intended to be. We've been tithing regularly, with JOY! Even in the times we only had $100 for a week, we would still tithe knowing God has us in His hands. Times are rough for almost everyone right now with the climate of our economy, two weeks ago we saw the rise in bills, food, and gas affect our income to a point we couldn't survive with just my husband working. I home-school our kids, go to college myself and i picked up a part time job. I asked God two Sundays ago to please just get our heads above water to take a breathe of air. I told Him I am empty from pouring everything i have into our boys like He had asked of me to do 4 years ago. I just needed reassurance that He was still around.. Two days after that prayer and accepting this part time job, my husband received his SECOND raise over a year. Wait, there is more. In that same day, i got a random deposit of $1,400 into my child support account that i have hardly seen anything go into that account over the past 8 years, and I made almost $100 in tips at a retail store that week! It may not seem like a lot; it didn't just get our heads above water, but it was a life raft thrown to us. I'm only 26, I've been in church my whole life and all it has ever done for me is make me doubt more. But The Seed has genuinely filled me, gave me hope, and showed me that a church built on the foundation God intended churches to be built on do exist. I have had to miss church the past week and will this week for the first time in a long time because of work, but i CAN NOT wait to get back in there! Thank you Pastors Datha, Lisa, Kempie and Julie for always leading with The Holy Spirit 100% of the time and to the congregation (family) for showing Jesus through your open arms, bright smiles and warmth. We have finally decided to take the next steps to become apart of this beautiful family very soon.
