I'm blogging.
yup.
why, you ask? well, I decided to start blogging while in Uganda this summer to keep all my family and friends updated. Oh yeah, I'm going to Uganda. did I mention that? sorry. it's been a whirlwind. I only decided I was going in February. Guess what? I just finished my second year of college! ah! yup yup yup. that's exciting. I'm that much closer to graduating.
But honestly, if you're reading this, please pray for me. I'm not afraid of going to Uganda, even though the area we're going isn't exactly safe. Jesus is worth anything I'll suffer, so I'm not worried about my safety. I'm worried about my effectiveness. I've never been on a missions trip overseas, and I'm worried about culture shock blocking my usefulness. I know all the words, but I often get too scared to act. sometimes I panic. I know I don't seem that way. "Oh yeah, Christina Klukow, she's totally got it all together." not. I don't. and I'm worried I'll fail.
Well, that's a great way to start a blog. sorry. I'm in a gloomy mood. all my friends are leaving Covenant and I might not return and I just feel like everything's falling apart. gloom and doom. yikes.

Christina,
ReplyDeleteFirst I must say that Owl City is amazing. He makes me smile :D
Second, You MUST know that you will not fail. Don't worry about your effectiveness because you have your Savior who works perfectly through you. All you must do is listen to him, go where you are called, and love those you meet - which is what you are doing. Someone once told me, "God does not call the equipped, but equips the called." God will give you all that you need to reach the people around you.
Love you girlie & you're in my prayers!
