Meet Cindy
Scroll through the story below to learn more about Cindy.
Cindy is Just Like You
Cindy* was tired. Burnt out. On edge.
Like you, she is many things at once.
A mother. A wife. A friend. A worker.
She loves being a Bible translator for her community in Asia.
But, as you might know, sometimes it all feels like too much. Life can seem like an insurmountable challenge.
*Pseudonym used to protect anonymity
“Everything Has Revolved around My Son.”
Cindy dedicated herself to being a loving and present mom. But it’s impossible to be everywhere and everything at once. “Everything has revolved around my son. I feel like I no longer have a sense of self,” she had confessed.
One day, Cindy snapped.
Her son was making a mess, as kids often do. But this time, Cindy lost her temper. She felt as if she couldn’t take it anymore.
Cindy threw all his toys on the ground and began to sob. Her little boy felt scared and started crying too.
Through Tears, Cindy Found Peace in Scripture
Cindy knew that something needed to change. And she knew where to find the change she needed.
Shortly after her outburst, Cindy turned to the Scriptures. As she reflected on God’s message of love to her, she was struck by this verse:
“A gentle answer deflects anger,
but harsh words make tempers flare.”
— Proverbs 15:1 (NLT)
“A Baptism of the Soul”
“I realized my shortcomings and began to slowly learn to be patient,” she says.
Now, Cindy speaks gentle words in her home, words that encourage her son. Motivated by those words, her son is also tidying up more.
“Every time you calm down and read the Bible,” she says, “it is a baptism of the soul.”

Cindy traded her anger for peace after reading God’s Word.
