"Raise 'Em and Praise Him - Testimony Tuesday" Here is where YOU get to share your testimony. My hope in promoting your testimony is that it strengthen your spiritual soul by sharing and that you encourage someone with your story. "How Sunshine Became Jennifer" In middle school, I was bullied for being fat, and awkward. The children in school would torment me with chants, “On your march, get set, Turkey neck!” I started leaving school and going to a local sub shop. I would go back to school and eat my lunch in the bathroom. I learned how to eat for comfort, and avoid social situations. No wonder, today, I suffer from emotional eating and social anxiety. Eventually, I realized that I did not have to continue skipping school; I learned that I could skip home life as well. As a runaway at the age of 12, I was promiscuous with men three times my age. I would use marijuana, alcohol, and eventually ecstasy. As I lived on the street, I sold my body, time, and soul for the love that I did not have for myself, or receive from my dad. My dad was never in the picture, as he suffers from alcoholism, drug addiction, and a host of other difficulties. He felt that the best way to protect me from his demons was to avoid me. His avoidance of me made me think that something was “wrong” with me. My father’s rejection, coupled with the negative feedback I received from my peers caused me to believe that I had little value, was unacceptable, and had to work for approval. About the age of 16, I went to JobCorps. I believed the lie that I was bisexual. I did not believe much in myself; hence my difficulty in finishing things. I left JobCorps once I earned my GED. I came home, only to run away again and be in a homosexual relationship for four years. My mother listened to me describe some of the mental and emotional symptoms that I was experiencing and took me to a professional where I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. I refused to believe that I had this disorder and continued to self-medicate, engage in criminal activity, and be promiscuous with whoever would have me. At the age of 21, I began exotic dancing. I was introduced to cocaine at the age of 22. I was convicted that same year. During my prison sentence, something changed. I slowly realized that my name was not Sunshine, it was Jennifer. I began to understand that if I did not forfeit death to experience life, my jail cell would be my new home for life or the mental ward. I was released from prison, March 25, 2009. Since then I have obtained my AA Degree in Human Services. I enter into Howard County Detention Center on a biweekly basis to minister to the women there; I facilitate the Celebrate Recovery program. With new confidence, I manage a blog where I let my pain give God glory. I am a wife to an awesome husband. Our marriage was not a walk in the park. We have been married for six years but separated for three and a half years. Today, my husband and I are committed to making the marriage work. My husband and our five-year-old are growing in love together. I have worked as a Case Worker for the past year with people with similar difficulties as I. Prior to that I was an Administrative Assistant at a homeless shelter. Currently, I am working on my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and Psychology. I am learning to parent my son who is Autistic. God is my Redeemer, Healer, Keeper, and Way Maker. Due to my submission to God’s love and power, my life has never been the same. I have been delivered from low self-esteem, people pleasing, drug addiction, cigarette addiction, homosexuality, lust, self-hatred, bitterness, self-loathing, approval addiction, and procrastination. Please follow me on anecessarypainblog.wordpress.com as I make God smile by releasing my pain to benefit those who are hurting. Ultimately, my life goal is to bring the unsaved to Jesus Christ.

"Raise 'Em and Praise Him - Testimony Tuesday" Here is where YOU get to share your testimony. My hope in promoting your testimony is that it strengthen your spiritual soul by sharing and that you encourage someone with your story. Osborne E. Dennis Jr. author, and motivation speaker, also the writer of two books: "Christopher’s Visit to Heaven" and "Christopher Vs the Bully". Dennis is a very powerful and prolific speaker; he identifies and relates to his audience immediately. His message is empowering the youth of today to: Speak Life and Show Love. However, this was not always Dennis's message. He strayed away from the right path and played in the streets of Satan; it was there he was confronted with his own demons. He realized that as a born-again child of God. He knew he was denying his true calling. It was this horrific experience that gives him the unique ability to relate to his audience. Dennis is a great inspiring, hopeful and motivational speaker. The moment he appears to his guest, he identifies the ones that are in need and hurting. His advice is well received regardless of race creed or color. Why, because he speaks the simple truth with love and hope. His speaking engagements have allotted him the privilege of sharing his message at several private schools, radio and television interviews. His books are available at Amazon.com.
