As a former Navy Sailor, Cheryl was a tough, strong person who loved her work, but when her husband died unexpectedly her tough exterior was shattered. She became absorbed in her work as a way to forget her pain and distanced herself from everybody until she realized she needed Jesus to move on. She had always known Jesus but after her loss, she experienced his deeper love. The intimacy that God was giving her allowed her to see the new doors that He was opening for her calling. She now thrives in the love of Jesus and shares it with others through all of her ministries.
