..
My name is Shane and I live in Knox Vegas TN. I have a beautiful wife named Joy and two great kids ,Zavin and Zack. I love music, and motorcycles, but most of all I love my God. He has blessed me so much in my lifetime and did so many great things I cannot thank Him enough. My wife helped to lead me back on the path that I needed to be on all along, she helps point me in the right direction when I get turned around. She means so much to me and if it weren't for her ,there is no telling where I might be today. I am on a journey for God and he has a plan for me. He has allowed me the oppurtunity to work with teenagers for the past 5 years at Stoney Point Baptist Church. They are an awsome group of kids that helped me in so many ways that they will never know. I know I will still see them but I miss them each and every day. They helped me to grow spiritually and also allowed me to learn from them things that helped me so much un my spiritual walk. He has also give me the oppurtunity to work with a local band called SecondMan. They are a great bunch of guys and are great Christian friends.I don't play in the band but they make me feel like part of them just working with them. God has placed so many people in my life that help me make it through each and every day.Now that I have told you where I am at I'll tell you a little about where I have been. I grew up in a great family atmosphere. Loving parents, great siblings, nice home life, church every Sunday and Wed night. But somewhere down the road I strayed off in the wrong direction. I started experimenting with alchohol when I was fifteen. By the age of eighteen I was smoking marauana. At the age of 21 I was popping pills. And by the age 23 I was a full blown alchoholic and drug addict and didn't even realize it. I had friends that partyed with me that told me I had a problem but I didn't listen. My family was always worried about me. I was considered a "Garbage Can Junky". I would take whatever drugs I could find and do whatever I had to do to get them. I drank daily whether it be beer or hard liquor, I wasn't picky. I would steal from people that I called my friends. I only cared about where I was gonna get my next fix. This went on for 14 years until one night something happened. I had an argument with someone that told me I was not a good father to my child. That hurt. I went into the closet and grabbed my shot gun and a 12 guage shell. I sat down on my bed and had the gun in my right hand and the shell in my left, I looked into the mirror that was across from me and saw myself, but it wasn't me. It wasn't the Shane I knew growing up. The Shane that loved everybody and everybody loved him. I heard a voice that night. The voice was very audible, just as if they were sitiing there next to me. The voice said "You are about to do to your son what your dad did to you". You see my dad commited suicide when I was very very young. I never knew him and have been angry at him ever since. I was about to take my own life, not only from my son ,but from all the people that loved me. The voice I heard was God's voice. He was right there with me and had never left me. I accepted Christ when I was twelve and always knew what I was doing was wrong. I always had a guilty conscience about the things I did. I had turned my back on Him and he was still there when I finally turned back around. I went and spoke with my step dad and mom. My step dad said I needed to admit myself into rehab for as long as needed. He was always there when I needed to be guided into the right direction, he raised me after my dad passed and was always there when I needed him. Him and mom have always been a great blessing to me. I admitted myself into a 30 day drug and alchohol recovery program. When I walked into the place and seen a picture on the wall that mentioned a "Higher Power" I knew who that higher power was. It was My God that helps people through their addictions. The twelve step program that every body hears about is talking about God. You have to turn everything over to him. I did it that day, On November 16th of 1999 I turned my addictions over to him. I would have to say that it was one of the most scariest but also one of the most life changing expierences that I have ever been through. When I left that place I was a new Shane, not the old Shane that I remembered, but a totally new person. Not long after that I completly turned my life over to God and he has been such a blessing to me. He has given me a great Christian family, great christian friends, and oppurtunities to do things that I would have never thought I could do. I give Him all the glory because I can do nothing without Him. And now here I am today typing on Myspace and telling you my life story. If you are going through something and think you can't handle it on your own just send me a message or even call me 865-806-4065 and I'll be glad to introduce you to the one that helped me through those times in my life and then some. I'll be glad to talk to you and do whatever I can to help you enjoy life like I do now. May God Bless You and always Give Him The Glory.
