The year 2020 started off like any other year.
She was freed!!.
Her life changed dramatically that night .
Cheryle went to a retreat with a famous priest visiting.
It was March 6th of 2020.
Then it happened, a Lenten journey like no other.
Mary, the mother of God became her mother, guiding her to Jesus.
She learned about redemptive suffering and offered God all of her pain.
It wasn\'t until one day that God gave her a great grace that she saw things in a new light and came to terms with her illness .
God\'s freely given Love was so hard to grasp.
You see, she thought Love was something earned, something that you needed to be perfect to receive. "How could anyone Love me?," she thought.
She didn\'t even realize she had so much unforgiveness for herself due to being caught up in perfectionism.
T he wounds of unforgiveness from past hurts were festering inside of her.
Cheryle discovered that she h ad wounds deeper than physical pain.
What she didn\'t know was that God was taking her through this journey of pain and transforming her heart in the process.
The medical field gave up on her.
Nothing worked.
She even had brain surgery and took staggering amounts of medication.
For seven years she tried to get rid of the unwelcomed guest that never left her side called Trigeminal Neuralgia, the suicide disease.
In the eyes of Cheryle, this meant more pain.
The year 2020 started off like any other year
