back to Georgetown but it was something tugging at me to move back . I was worried because there is little here economically and good jobs were scarce . I moved back for 2 reasons . The first was that God was calling me . I believe God wants me to help expand opportunities here in Georgetown . The second reason I moved back was to marry Shawnta . We have a vision for this city . We live a well life here . It is tough here but I look at the reality of our area , the dynamics and lack of amenities around and pray . God gave me a charge to help restore this area . So our people will be excited about graduating , going off to school and coming back to this area to find great jobs .
Shawnta : After college , I went to DC . I found out really fast , that wasn ' t for me . I lived there for
2 years , and it was rough for me because I didn ' t consult with God about moving there .
Pastor Q : To God be the glory .
Shanna : What advice would you all give to other married couples ? Shawnta : Keep God in it . He is the string that binds us together . You have to communicate ,
you absolutely have to talk to each other . God will set everything straight .
Pastor Q : The key thing is you must be selfless . Marriage is not just you . It ' s about your
spouse . You get married to better the other person . Whatever you put out into your marriage , you get back . When I think about me and Shawnta , my question to myself is what can I do to make us better . You can ' t change a person . A wife ' s worship to God should be how she treats her husband .
Shawnta : My advice is to the single women out
there that are waiting for their Boaz ( husband ). While you are single , take all that time to get to know God . Ask Him to give you the spirit of discernment so may recognize your husband when he comes to you .
Pastor Q : You are supposed to have a spouse
that has a relationship with God . You should marry someone that shares the same faith as you as well as ideas and beliefs . It is important to be equally yoked to your spouse . It is much easier to walk together in unity and fulfill the destiny that has been designed for you both as one unit .
Shanna : You are absolutely correct Pastor Q !
Where did you go on you guys ' first date ?
Pastor Q : Our first date was at Aunny ' s
restaurant on Front Street in Georgetown . I even remember what I ordered . I ordered a seafood dinner .
Shawnta : I remember what I had also . It was the
turkey gravy , rice and yams . It was so delicious !
Shanna : Yes , Aunny ' s is a great restaurant .
Everyone should eat there ! They have the best food .
