korean thanksgiving-

we are quickly approaching one of the biggest holidays in korea, if not the biggest- chuesok. it's known as the korean thanksgiving, and it's one of the few times throughout the year where most of the country takes at least three days off work, if not the entire week! as english teachers, we love this, because it gives us a chance to travel and see more of the marvelous wonders that surround us. last year i had the opportunity to travel to beijing during chuesok and ended up meeting two people whom have become very dear to my heart. (jodi & brendan)

this year i am not going anywhere. a decision i'm kind of excited about- yet kind of not. i wish i was going somewhere- particularly malaysia to join jodi on the beach- but i also know that i'm physically, financially and emotionally drained. i know the reason plans havent worked out is because God has wanted me to stay home and to take a few days to relax, recuperate, and rest in Him. so, that's what i'm going to do.

however- we got to have a celebration at school today! the kindergartners came dressed up in traditional korean clothes called- hanbooks! i had to share some photos:

this is my kindergarten class! (minus one.)

this is eileen and eric.


this is emily showing me the song-peyong (rice cake) that she made!

texts.

some of my fave texts that i have received while living in england: "there's a program on irish tv tonight called 'death or canada'. i wish i had the energy to stay up and watch it. i may have some tshirts made." "Worse." "Than." "Hitler." "That's bad news bears, my friend. I hope your magic shirts are keeping you warm." "Because we're celebrating Christmas time, leave your shoes out at half past nine. Leave them out until half past ten. Santa should have been by then. (i know what you're thinking, 'why is sarah in bible college when she is so gifted in the literary technique of rhyming?)" "You make me feel. You make me feel. You make me feel like a natural woman." "Should be fun on a bun!" "And stay off the circle line. It is an instrument of the devil." "I'd love a bottle of fruit loops right about now." "I've never seen a movie that...

Expectancy

We have the following Bible verses written on a chalkboard above our kitchen sink: Because of God's tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness & in the shadow of death, & to guide us to the path of peace. Luke 1:78-78 NLT I chose to write out these verses for a few reasons. First of all, I like the picture it illustrates of God's mercy & how ultimately his mercy & light lead us to peace. Second, these verses speak of hope to me. They say that even in darkness & death there is hope! And last, it reminds me to live every day with expectancy. It says that heaven "is about" to break upon us; it's almost foreshadowing God's faithfulness. I've been thinking about this third point a lot lately. Expectancy. What does it mean? What does it look like? I think I've referenced it before, but I'm reading a book that's written specifically for people in a time of ...
