I Need Wedding Sponsor This Our Story

My name is Ebonie Spann. I am originally from a small town in South Carolina named Lynchburg. I was born to Bernie and Agnes Spann. I am the fourth oldest out of four sisters and two brothers. I felt as if I often lived under the shadows of my siblings and that my parents favored them over me. During my childhood, I questioned their love for me because of the discipline that I was subjected to. However, it is that same discipline that made me into the person that I am today. At the age of 21, I moved from Lynchburg to Florence, SC. I was trying to find my place in society. I did find a church home that allowed me to find out who I was in God’s eyes. The name of this church that would impact my life forever is Outreach Family Fellowship, which I still attend. My pastors are Michael and Louise Goings. These pastors, along with the church congregation, embraced me in a way in which my natural family never did. A short time later, I moved to Dillon, SC in August of 2003. Life was especially hard during this time as I experienced hardships in relationships and finances. It seemed that life was bleak. I moved from place to place, often taken in by relatives and members of the church congregation. However, I was learning to trust God with my life and that he would provide. Since August of 2003, I have been through so many trials and triumphs. I can truly say that my faith in God has totally been strengthened. For the last three years, I have had a constant person that has been a source of strength. This person is my fiancé John Cory Jackson. I met Cory at the Outreach Family Fellowship location in Dillon. We began our relationship in May of 2005 and we have been together every since. Our relationship, as most, has been filled with lots of highs and lows. It has been love that has sustained this relationship. It is through the grace of God that we plan to marry in November. I can truly say through all that I have been through in my life that I have learned to believe in God with all of my might. I hope that it is through this short summary of my life that you find your own strength and faith. We really be happy someones will help sponsor our wedding.
