Michael and Cheryl Todd both lived through a childhood and young adulthood that was filled with experiences that sent them headfirst into one deeper challenge after another. They fought to keep their heads above water to refrain from drowning in their relationships, drug abuse, and family drama that taunted them.

Attempting to tread lightly, they found their footsteps were heavier than anticipated. Consequently, they ended up in scenarios they never imagined possible. But, there they were.

After having experienced the bitter pill only life on this side of glory could offer, they began to experience a longing desire for true happiness, joy, and peace. Cheryl had searched for joy and peace in men and marijuana, and Michael had tried marijuana and stronger drugs to achieve the sensations and feelings he desired. Neither was successful

As God's favor was on their side, what Michael's and Cheryl's futures held would only come to pass if God Himself held an intervention.
