Jenny Weaver - I Have Been Redeem

Most people will look at me and never be able to see the crushing that I had to go through to get to the point that I’m at today. And for that I am thankful for in my case it is true what they say you don’t look like what you’ve been through. This is my story of the redeemed. My name is Jenny Weaver most of you know me from singing the scriptures. Today I want to tell you how I got to that point. I remember as a teenage girl around 14 the 1st time that I cut my wrist. I’m not exactly sure why I did it or if I had heard of others doing it but it was something I felt compelled to do it to release the pain of my life at that point. I grew up in an abusive home my mom and dad were always splitting up and fighting. I grew up in a home where you weren’t told that you did well. The words I love you were very rarely said. The struggle to know who I was was very real to me. I went through a number of different things in life trying to see if that would fulfill my life and give me a sense of purpose. Cutting my wrist, being homeless, experimenting with drugs, living a bisexual lifestyle, engaging in criminal activity, practicing witchcraft by spells and rituals, getting into physical fights with people and staying up all night day after day was my life.
