My Bulletin Boards

So I have had this fascination with Bulletin Boards. I have made a few already. Some have been in our church in Oakland others for school and then also for my class i have here. I don't know why but I have to fill one up or put something on an empty wall. I think its because I cannot draw but I can put some pictures and letters together. Now I do not always get it on my own. I use some other persons for ideas but in some way or another I make it my own. All my scriptures are King James Version. I try to keep it fun. Here are some that I have made.

Our Valentine Day Wall for the month of February in our Kindergarten class. 2016

Our presidents day wall is also up in February. I talk about Washington and Lincold and have them write / draw about what we learned.

Our walls in the beginning of the year were The Hungry caterpillar theme. Loved it. My favorite color is green.

Our end of the year kindergarten Graduates 2016. Of Course this is my Youngest daughter Olivia.

My mom and her daddy. It was a privilege to take my grandpa to the San Diego Zoo this year. My mom is the only one that he lets tell him what to do. Of course she is the baby of all 8 of them.

"Oh Mother"

Mothers day has come and went but I have been thinking about it still.  I received a lovely journal that I had hinted at. It was to replace the cards the kids would get. They even drew something and my hunny wrote their name and date. He even addded a picture.  I truly am spoiled. My husband cooked dinner almost everyday last week. I think I am getting used to that.
      As I sat in the ladies banquet and in church on Sunday I saw all the young ladies attending church without moms and noticed the single moms sitting there looking for something, maybe nothing. I thought how wonderful that 28 moms rode the church bus this day, 6 drove in. Then 6 mothers accepted Jesus as their savior and 2 got baptized!
      I praise the Lord for my mom, mom-in-law, and bonus mom. They are hard working moms, they work through illnesses and pain. They pray and encourage us all the time. Happy Mothers day!

Goodbye Oakland

Seaside Baptist Church. Oakland,ca 2013

     I found this picture on my phone, the girls had taken it one Sunday morning.. I look and see our last month in Oakland as Seaside Baptist Church.  I see the many days of empty seats and no converts. I see a preacher who cries out and says" is this it?". I see my pastor and husband waiting at the door wondering if they are going to show up today, do we start without them? I think of the hundreds of thousands who have been in our place. Did we fail? Did we fully trust God? Did we give our all?   We waited, prayed, fasted for 8 years for this and now it is finished. Just like that. Was I sad, maybe confused, then I thought no, God is not the author of confusion. I Corinthians 4:13 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 
     I am always behind my husband and this time it was a bit different. It was harder to say ok. I prayed and asked God to help me be his helpmeet now more then ever. He was ready and I was not.  I believe this was a test for me. It wasn't about what others would say about us, it was more about me thinking I was not ready to move on.  God knew, there were many trials there for me,many health ones.  I think He had given what I could handle.
      We did what God wanted and now it is time to do the next chapter. I cannot keep looking and dwelling on the past and the what ifs. Oakland was pretty tough and at times even scary.We met many new friends and God did use us many times. At the end of our journey as would drive or go to the park I thought,"They did not deny The Robinson Family and Seaside Baptist Church, they denied you Lord".
