As a graduate of Christian Communicators, Cindy’s mission when speaking is to touch the heart of every listener.
“My life experiences are no greater than anyone else however, how I have managed them sets me apart. Being divorced from an ex-minister and later remarried to a wonderful, godly man proves that God works all things to the good of those who believe, trust, and love Him. With two biological sons (one who deals with Fragile X Syndrome . . . a form of mental retardation) and a step-mom of two additional sons, I’ve proven divorce is not the unpardonable sin, nor is it the end of the world, but that in the carnage of hurt and pain, good rises from the ashes.”
Married over 30 years, she and her husband have managed it all – from near bankruptcy with their disabled son, to a prodigal once lost and now returned. Their lives have been, and remain, an ever-growing garden of experience and challenge.
