Who I am is continuously changing, so I’m sprucing this page up a bit. My name is Cindy, and I am travelling the world, learning a ton about my relationship with the Lord, and finding ways to bless the people around me as I do it. I was born and raised in Michigan and butt heads with every OSU fan I meet. Kidding—still love them but GO BLUE 😉 I am 27 years old and apparently don’t look it—ask ANYBODY from ANY COUNTRY. I have roots in China and Cambodia but have been mistaken for every nationality in the Asian countries I’ve been to this year.
For point of reference, it’s July 2015. I’m in month seven, and I’ve lived with five other ladies for half a year. Two different teams of completely different people. Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malawi, and Zambia. In any other setting, our worlds may have never collided, but they did and I am thankful for them. In our differences, they have encouraged and taught me things I rarely heard or never knew about myself.
God is everywhere. I knew He was everywhere but seeing it is another story. Seeing teenagers fired up for Him and men fully living in the Holy Spirit are just a few ways I know He is real and working all over the world.
I brought my rock climbing shoes last-second and have not regretted it. They’ve been used three times this year, and I fully intend for them to see the light of day in every continent.
I’ve never read the entire Bible and am about to finish reading the New Testament, which I started at the end of January. It’s so gooooood. And then back to the Old Testament that may or may not take a bajillion years. Prayers that it’ll be just as intriguing 😉
I’ve stepped up my pun game and have got to have annoyed somebody by now. But I like to think I’m still more fly than the persistent flies that won’t stop bothering you.
Currently, I’m eating better than I usually do in the US in the middle of nowhere, Zimbabwe. We have toilets and hot showers and an amazing fireplace. And in the company of poisonous snakes, crocodiles, lions, hyenas, malarial mosquitos, and killer bees in the African bush. But the most noteworthy animals I’ve seen so far are the super cute baby goats learning to walk—praise the Lord! A true testament to expecting the unexpected on the race.
