Out of Control: From Darkness to Light and Life!

This is a real-life testimony of God’s never-ending Love, Grace, and Mercy. This story will take you through countless battles, trials, and tribulations that I, Shawn, and our marriage have endured. We battled with one another from the very onset of our marriage without God in our lives. But, we have made a complete about-face not only with one another, but more importantly in our relationship with God.

There were so many times that we just wanted to give up, cash it all in, and move on with our lives. But God! He was always there and we knew it, but ultimately we could not figure out how to make the right things happen. This of course was the problem. I always thought that I could and would make it all happen the way that I wanted it to with or without God. Right down to the happily ever after part. But no matter how hard I tried, I could not make it happen.

Through an amazing growth process, He allowed for each of us to first grow individually closer to Him and then together as a couple. This ultimately allowed us to become who we are today. Once I/we had surrendered all of me/us, to Him, we have never had to look back at the chains, shackles, or bondage of our past or the horrible mistakes that I made along the way.
