I am new to this whole blogging thing, but thought I would attempt to give it a shot for my new adventure in the Middle East where I will be studying abroad!
For those who do not know- I will be dwelling in Cairo, Egypt for some time this Fall semester learning Arabic, politics, religion, and studying about the culture and peoples of the Middle East, all God willing. This entire trip is God willing. We hope to travel to Israel, Jordan, Turkey, etc....
This may be one of the riskiest and most challenging places I have ever gone to. Be prepared for me to have an intense and emotional reverse culture shock coming back! Ha! :) Perhaps I can give some insight on my perspective as a woman, as a follower of Christ, and as a foreigner in their land. I go wanting to love and learn with an open mind and a heart humbled.
I like the title of my blog" Krist-in-MiddleEast." It technically means Kristin in the Middle East- but it works such that its "Christ in Middle -East." Where He goes, I am to follow, and He has allowed me to go here.
I hope to keep people posted with events as I can here and there so that even though I am not there in body, I am with you all in spirit. I hope to be real, open, and make it fun afor you all to read.
I ask that you keep me in prayers from time to time- Our Lord is faithful. I hope I can be faithful- and hopefully being consistent in blogging is one of the ways I can be....school always is busy, you know! So please pardon me beforehand (*giggle)
I leave August 25th....
My writing address will be on my facebook account if anyone attempts to write a letter which is always welcomed, though delivery is not always guaranteed! Ha!
You all mean so much to me, which is why I wanted to include you in this. God bless you!
This is just the beginning....
In service, devotion, gratitude, and obedience to Christ- my Redeemer who has forgiven me and loves me
K.K.
or you can address me as - K.King, Kristeface, Kris, Kristin...Gertrude....your choice
