following tradition.

About a year ago when I arrived back in Korea, I pretty much took over my friend, Jodi's life. This included her mobile phone. I remember before she handed it over last year- she went through her old text messages and blogged some of her favourites. Tonight I am giving up my mobile phone to Amanda, who is practically taking over my life in Korea. I am going to follow Jodi's tradition and post some of my favourite texts over this past year. Sorry if this isn't as entertaining for you, as it is for me! *^^*

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?)"

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?
