Cynthia Holappa After changing her major from pre-medicine, to English, to philosophy, to chemistry, to math, and finally to education, Cynthia Holappa graduated in 1997 with a degree from the University of Minnesota – Duluth, qualifying her to teach high school biology. And yet, as much as she relished the diversity of her college courses, her true passion has always been music. “I spent hours upon hours playing music when I was a kid. As far back as I can remember my favorite place to be was the piano. There was so much comfort in my isolation there, and in retrospect, I believe God was trying to reach me through music, even back then.” However, in her teenage years she abandoned her faith, causing her to stumble about amongst the spiritually lost for half her lifetime. By God’s amazing grace, and His grace alone, she was saved February, 2003. Today that which she has always loved – music – is used week after week for God in His church. “I truly do not believe I am worthy of such a privilege. And I can honestly say that daily, I stand amazed by His infinite grace, forgiveness, and awesome love.” |
