JUN-NES

Born Terry Junies, but everybody knows me as JUN-NES.
I was born 12-18-1975 in Dayton, Ohio.Growin up in the projects was hard for me. I have one sister and two brothers. My oldest brother and my sister were taken away from my mom when they were little because of my mothers addiction to alcohol. That left me and my baby brother. When they got taken away everything got alot worse for us she took everything out on us, we were abused both mentally and physically. The beatings were so bad that I at times didn't want to live anymore. I can remember calling out to Jesus and asking him to take me away and help me but he never answered and my struggle only got worse as the years went on. I realize now why God didn't never answered it was because I didn't know him. When we don't know Christ the enemy can have a field day with us. I got saved at the age of 14 but things didn't get better they got worse. I still got abused, knocked down,neglected, rejected. I would go to school and get laughed at and teased because I would have to wear the same clothes everyday and they would make fun of the bruises on my face at least they never saw the ones on my back. I would always ask JesusWhy is this happening to me?
still no answer, but as I started going to church and calling on God more I understood why he let me go through everything I went through. I realize I'm
a testimony for so many people who may be going through what I went through. So I joined the church choir, I was tenor and I rapped everytime we would do a skit during service or a performance of some sort, but I would always freestlye I never had anything written down I always just went with the feel of the music and everyone would always love it. From that point on
I knew I had a calling on my life to preach the gospel in a new way to reach the new generations as well as the old, the churched and the unchurched people. I wrote every word to every song, just a story about my life , my struggles, my challenges, because without Christ WHERE WOULD I BE? I pray everyday for God to tell me I'M NOT ALONE and I can always FEEL HIM moving through my life so I can LIVE RIGHT.This is just a little bit about me to let everybody know where I came from. As I started this album things got a lot worse in my personal life my baby brother was murdered. The man that murdered him he did not even know, there was a nationwide manhunt out for him it was all over the news, he finally turned himself in only to be let go 3 days later with no charges held against him. Which left me 6 neices and nephews to look after. The oldest 12 and the youngest was 2 weeks when he was murdered. As if I could take anymore recently my 12 yr old neice was rapped. I struggle everyday with the enemy in trying to keep together what he wants to tear apart, only because I know my God has a plan for me and I just have to trust him. IF anyone is or has gone through a similar situation and needs someone to talk to or has a prayer request .please send me a message or email me at tjun-nes@comcast.net or post a comment so everybody that vists my page can be in agreement with you and pray for you. God Bless.JUN-NES
