In Awe.

Have you ever been in Awe with someone? I mean besides God? I recently read a blog on a website that my nephew Shawn, wrote. With the help of his sister Andrea, he is telling his story. He feels that God wants him to write a book about all his struggles. He has dealt with pornography, both sexes, and is telling everything on this blog. From the beginning of these feelings till now. You see he is in jail for "soliciting a child" he was a teacher at the time, so these are very serious charges.
But Shawn has thrown all doubt aside, and taken a step, that I don't know if I could take in the same position.
I am in awe of my nephew. Yes he has struggled, yes he has sinned, yes he is facing a long prison sentence (Before appeal he is looking at 20 years!)
You know the line (it's really not a LINE,,but we use it as such all the time, to be a "Cop Out" when things happen to people we know) "What the Devil meant for harm, God will turn to good". Yes that ole line. It is not a line to be used in helping anyone, it is TRUTH. My nephew is telling the world something that many would consider a death sentence. Some that read, hear of his struggles, and lack of help, support from the "Church" will not understand, may even ridicule. But : "What Satan meant for harm,God will use for His glory". You see, Shawn has a vision, he feels the Lord leading him to be a advocate for the people, like me, who have suffered with porn, sexual wickedness and perversion. Look where he is, in jail for possibly 20 years, there is nothing he has experienced emotionally any feeling you or I have. Embarrassment, shame, guilt, denial, you name it he, I and possibly you, have felt it.
I am going to share the link that he is being so transparent on, and I hope he understands this is for more exposure of his story. I do not want him, or his sister Andrea, to think I am trying to make more people see him in the negative.
Shawn has had a problem many of us face, he has allowed Satan to ruin his live. Or has he? God will use him, I know. Because of his honesty, bravery and dedication to the things God has told him to do, he will be rewarded.
The "Church" today need to wake up and minister to this growing problem in our society. I believe Shawn is starting a revival in this area. There is not a man or woman for that matter alive today, that has not suffered from some of these thoughts that Shawn faced. This is real, it is down to earth, it is gritty, it is dirty, it is life.
Please go to this link: www.breakingthehush.webs.com. I apologize in advance to my Nephew and Niece for doing this without their permission, but I do believe they want as many people as possible to see this, otherwise they would not have put it on the World Wide Web. Thank you Shawn for your transparency, and Andrea for all your work and the support you show your brother. There are many people that need to hear Shawn's story.
