Joy After the Storm Sherri Bishop-leonard

Where Is Your Joy?

Cheryl is a young lady who has faced many obstacles in her life. She was a twin, her twin brother died at birth. Cheryl's aunt thought that Cheryl would die any day because Cheryl was a very sick little baby and eventually put up for adoption. It looked like everyone had given up on this little miracle baby. Now isn't that something, this baby had been destined to fail from the start. Cheryl grew to believe that love was kind, gentle, forgiving, unselfish and forever. She then marries a man who she thinks share those same beliefs. She later finds herself in a courtroom filing for her divorce. Her now ex-husband (Steven) was having an affair right under her nose, of course he denied any wrong doing. Sixty days after their divorce was final Steven was remarried, talk about betrayal! Cheryl was never bitter towards Steven. She then came to the decision to become celibate until God sends her a soul mate (her Boaz). Two years of being celibate she thinks to herself (I have it made, this is a piece of cake, I can handle it) until someone got to her heart (Josh). Needless to say Josh was not the man that she wanted him to be. Despite all of the storms in Cheryl's life she remained faithful to God. She survived death, and several failed relationships. Cheryl is still standing!!! Cheryl finds "joy" in knowing that although the storms of life was raging that God was right there with her all the time carrying her through the storms.
