Family

shannon cochran family

(2024) L to R: My youngest son Jonathan “Gift of God”; My 2nd born son David “Beloved of God”; David’s & his wife Saydie; My husband Matt “Gift of God”; My true middle child Samuel “Because I asked the Lord for him”; My firstborn son Matthew “Gift of God” holding my first grandson, Matthew Lee Cochran III “Trip”- “Gift of God”; Matthew’s wife Ebee holding my first granddaughter Natalie “birth of the Lord”

I never could’ve imagined what my choice to put my complete trust in Jesus during that landmark summer of 1998 could’ve meant when I faced the hardest, most humiliating, and darkest moment of my life. Going my own way I ended up pregnant, unmarried, jobless at only 20 years old.

With a precious baby on the way, I was forced to make life-trajectory changing decisions. I was scared. Desperate. My choices demanded that I decide WHO would take the steering wheel of my life: God or me.

Blink. Blink. I have more gray hair and wrinkles now. When I look back on all that God has done in my life since I surrendered to Jesus, I thank my Captain God for His faithfulness. I stand amazed at God’s goodness, mercy, and power to work out all things (past, present, & future), always for our good and His glory.

My Blessings from Captain God
