Imaginative. Obedient. Prayerful. Joyful. Compassionate.
All too often, I have been asked to summarize myself in a short blip so anyone who logs on can read it and quickly understand my 23 years of existence. Where do you begin? The first thought that crossed my mind was one of those, "If you could summarize yourself into five words, what would they be?" games. I just wrote down the first five words that came to mind. I don't know if those even come close to describing who I am as a person.
My name is Caylynn Zeitz. I don't have a middle name and, generally speaking, that's been a fun characteristic. I am 23 years old and only barely scratching the service in regards to discovering what life means to me. I do my best to enjoy every moment presented to me, as I believe that was God's intent for all of us. Enjoy life. I love deep, meaningful conversation. Getting to know others beyond what people know on the surface is what I strive for. Every person I've ever met has a story and that story makes them beautifully and wonderfully unique. I believe we are all created in God's perfect image and He wants to see us all smiling, excited, and living out His will. It makes Him glow to see us happy.
I have a passion for helping others. This is something I believe has consumed that majority of my life. I could sit outside, on the ground, and draw on the sidewalk with a piece of chalk for hours if it means one little child is happier for it. I will sit for as long as I need and listen to others share their lives if it means they feel they've been heard. God has blessed me with patience, understanding, and passion and I fully intend on using my blessings to the best of my ability for the rest of my life. Ultimately, I want to see God's love spread. I want others to feel the warmth and encompassing love I have had the chance to experience myself. Love like this isn't meant to be selfishly kept to myself.
I am spending my summer facilitating week-long mission trips on an Indian Reservation in Oklahoma and God has molded my heart in ways I never thought possible. I want to eventually go into campus ministry and share my experiences to help young men and women, sitting in that pivital place in their faith, realize what they are capable of. I want to share the Word and share compassion. I only hope and pray everyday that everyone I cross can see the radiating light God has provided to me and find it nothing short of contagious.
Remember Luke 6:27-28
