      @@fearfullycreated oh me too. Most people just are not very kind online anymore. It's too easy for hurt people to try to hurt people online because they don't have to face you personally.
      It's been a test of humanity's character as a whole and though I feel most have failed in that area, it has also inspired those of us who are good, wholesome Christians (or just good people in general no matter their beliefs) to rise above up to the surface and be a light for all those who are lost in the dark and don't know which way is which.

    God put you in my life for sure. This video hit me like a brick wall. When you said “ I just wanted someone to love me” ... I felt that in the deepest part of my spirit. I had no father growing up either, he left and re married and started another family 10 miles down the road . So at 14 I found myself pregnant by my school bus driver... ya know ,looking for that attention I never got from my father, and we won’t even begin talking about the step fathers along the way. Skipping ahead ,2 failed marriages ,too many struggles to count and 15 years later I’m just hanging on by a thread.... but GOD!!! His timing is perfect... HE sent me my Robert. 8 years together and 3 years married I now know what love really is and more importantly what it’s NOT. Thank you for reminding me today of GRACE and MERCY and most importantly un ending LOVE. So thankful God pointed my phone to your channel. Like seriously ... I want to move to Tn just to be your bestie ❤️❤️ Y’all have a great date !

Darling it’s time for you to forgive you... we have all been in or will be in your shoes or Shane’s at some point in our lifetime. Sometimes it takes difficult lessons for us to become who we were meant to be. And, sometimes our stories are not even for us, they are for the ones that see us.

With Jesus, you don’t necessarily put them down, you hand them over. Then, they are no longer yours, there his. I pray for your heart to have peace, acceptance and forgiveness.

    This hit me so hard. I was married to a man who was not nice in a lot of ways that actually scared me. Walking away from that relationship was the hardest thing I have ever done. When I had my daughter I almost died, and I remember praying to God to just get me past it, so that I could live for my 2 babies, because he wasn't capable of taking care of them, or even loving them. It took me a year after that, but He presented me with an opportunity, and I took it. I have found unconditional love from a man who loves my kids as if they were his own, he never judges me, or makes me feel less than, and I thank God everyday for him. Thank you for sharing your story, because it reminded me that we all have hardship, but by the Grace of God we always find our way 🙏

The first time I watched you I was laughing at your goofiness, please always stay goofy, but when you get real about your life it keeps me hanging on to your every word. This forum is your calling and your ministry! Your story will touch so many people’s lives and give hope and light to their darkness. I love that you and Shane are real and down to earth and not trying to impress anyone, just being real about your lives! You and Shane are amazing together and make me smile at the love that you both have for each other and it is clear you both have a deep respect and friendship that not everyone is lucky enough to have. Love that you give Jesus all the honor and glory for your lives!

    Thank you for being so open and raw with your story Merina. You will definitely reach alot of people on this platform who need to hear this and maybe they will also share it with someone who needs to hear it. I pray that listening to this will release a lot people from pain from their childhood and hopefully move forward. I never felt "worthy" growing up or as an adult, but He placed angels in my path to personally deliver messages (an optometrist, a nail salon tech, a cashier, etc) who would touch me, make eye contact and tell me I was "worthy". Talk about chills and feeling vulnerable. I truly felt naked in the Garden of Eden! I know without a doubt who sent them. Sometimes we just need to hear confirmation. He knew I needed it for sure. God is blessing you by being a blessing to others.

    💕I’m so glad that your husband held on long enough for you to feel loved and not let you push him away. I held on for 16 years to an Abusive alcoholic and had to let go because I started loving myself. I still pray one day he’ll start loving himself enough to became a better person for him and our grown children.

God brought me thru hell and led me to a wonderful husband who now I have been with for 25yrs. The love of my life. God always shows us the way. As you cried I felt your hurt, pain, and shame.

I too have experienced a fundamental church and left it as I felt I could not attain their standards and rules. However, I never stopped loving and seeking God to lead me to the right church. Their is joy and peace in the presence of the Lord. Stand strong, Sister. The evil one is throwing every weapon he has to sway us away from God in these last days.

We talk about how glad we never gave up and our marriage has never ever been better. When you start changing yourself man, it changes the other. Jesus changed me when I was stuck up thinking my husband was the one who needed changing. It finally came down to my marriage was falling apart and Jesus said rend your heart, let me change you. He did. He changed it all. Me and my husband are best friends. I love you and your family!

    You had me in tears, literally tears running down my face to hear what you went through, to hear the pain in your voice, to see the hurt in your tears brought me to tears. I haven't been on your channel that long, but I feel, with each video, that I get to know you, Shane, and your family a little more. Something you said struck me, when you said that Shane didn't care how you did your make-up. And yes when you put on your make up your outside was beautiful. Your outside! Your inside though has ALWAYS been beautiful, even when you thought you were the worst person in the world, your beauty was still there and Shane, and God KNEW IT! SAW IT! And just needed you to see it. You wouldn't be who you are now the caring, loving, wanting to help people find the love of Jesus. To know what that love feels like. All of that comes from the beauty within you. Shane saw the beauty when you were 17 God KNEW that beauty has always been there. You just needed someone to show you and God gave you Shane for that because God knew that once you seen that in yourself all the amazing, wonderful, caring, helpful things you would do for others.
    Thank you for sharing your story with us. Thank you for reminding us that Jesus loves us and no matter what our past looks like or what our present looks like. There is a reason for everything rather we know it or not. God has a plan and that plan will only be revealed when he's ready, when he knows your ready. God knew when you were ready...cuz look at you now!! So much good you shine into this world. I thank God for you, and he knows why. Keep being you! Keep doing you! ❤
