a verse from my sunday...

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

1 Peter 1: 6-9 (NIV)


Nui atu to koutou koa ki tenei, ahakoa pouri mo te wa iti nei, kite ai he pouri, i nga whakamatautauranga maha: Na, ko te whakamatautauranga o to koutou whakapono, nui atu tona pai i to te koura e memeha nei, ae ra i te mea kua oti te whakamatautau ki te kapura, a ka kitea tona tukunga iho, he whakamoemiti, he honore, he kororia, a te whakakitenga mai o Ih u Karaiti, Kahore nei ia e kitea e koutou, heoi arohaina ana e koutou; ahakoa kahore koutou e kite inaianei, heoi i a koutou ka whakapono nei ki a ia, nui atu te koa, he koa kororia, e kore e taea te korero: I te mea ka whiwhi ki te tukunga iho o to koutou whakapono, ki te whakaoranga o o koutou wairua.

1 Peter 1:6-9 (Maori Bible)


In ea voi va bucurati mult, macar ca acum, daca trebuie, sunteti intristati pentru putina vreme, prin felurite incercari, pentru ca incercarea credintei voastre, cu mult mai scumpa decit aurul care piere si care totusi este incercat prin foc, sa aiba ca urmare lauda, slava si cinstea, la aratarea lui Isus Hristos, pe care voi Il iubiti fara sa-L fi vazut, credeti in El, fara sa-L vedeti, si va bucurati cu o bucurie negraita si stralucita, pentru ca veti dobindi, ca sfirsit al credintei voastre, mintuirea sufletelor voastre.

1 Petru 1:6-9 (Romanian)


因 此 , 你 们 是 大 有 喜 乐 ; 但 如 今 , 在 百 般 的 试 炼 中 暂 时 忧 愁 ,
叫 你 们 的 信 心 既 被 试 验 , 就 比 那 被 火 试 验 仍 然 能 坏 的 金 子 更 显 宝 贵 , 可 以 在 耶 稣 基 督 显 现 的 时 候 得 着 称 赞 、 荣 耀 、 尊 贵 。 你 们 虽 然 没 有 见 过 他 , 却 是 爱 他 ; 如 今 虽 不 得 看 见 , 却 因 信 他 就 有 说 不 出 来 、 满 有 荣 光 的 大 喜 乐 ; 并 且 得 着 你 们 信 心 的 果 效 , 就 是 灵 魂 的 救 恩 。

彼 得 前 書 1:6-9 (Chinese Union Version (Simplified))

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 ...
