Portrait Of A Survivor: A True Story

By Jodi L. Serino-Barbour

Getting out of Domestic Violence is not always as easy as it sounds, especially when you have children to bring out too. It took me ten years to get free physically only for me to realize that I was still bound in my mind. Managing to come out from under the abuse with seven children in tow, I realized that if I truly was to survive, I needed to overcome. This required that I sat down and faced some difficult, but necessary truths. The first truth was that I needed to not exchange one abuser for another. Did I really know who my abuser was? Was I guilty of being my own abuser? If I was going to overcome the abuse I needed to face myself. Hard truths I needed to speak to myself. Necessary truths I needed to address and embrace.

"You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." - John 8:32

If I was going to be a survivor, I first had to become an overcomer. This story is a portrait of a survivor. It is a glimpse into my life and what I had to go through to get to where I am today as a survivor. This is a true story. It is my story, and I am free to tell it so that others can overcome their personal journey towards survival also.

Mrs. Jodi Lynn Serino-Barbour, a native of Chicago, Illinois, currently (and happily) resides in sunny Florida. She is the wife of the Entrepreneur and Founder of New Praise Radio - Christian Internet BDS/MEDIABASE Radio Station - Radio Personality, Jerry R. Silvers. She is a mother of seven and a grandmother of 16. She is an artist, a singer, a networker, an encourager, and an inspirational speaker and writer who is making her mark in this world as a published author and a publisher who helps others to become published authors also.Jodi graduated from DeVry University’s Keller Graduate School of Management, in June of 2019, where she obtained a Master’s Degree with distinction in Business Administration. Directly after graduation, in July 2019, Jodi founded JODILYNNSB Publishing and Editing Company where she began her journey of being an indie author with the publishing of the following titles:* Portrait of A Survivor (a true story) tells how the author, with help, became not just a survivor, but an overcomer of domestic violence* They Called Me – THE MASTERMIND (a true story) is a spiritual warfare book, unlike all others. It teaches you how to become skilled in using your spiritual weapons of warfare through visual learning tools and activities that enhance practical application.* COMFORT and ENCOURAGEMENT – A Word of Encouragement For Those Suffering With A Terminal Illness and Comfort For The Grieving Heart – (inspired by true events) is a 2 in 1 book that is designed to be a keepsake journal that comforts and encourages not only those dealing with grievous sicknesses but also those who are grieving over the death of a loved one.* Keep On The Watch – A Comprehensive Study and Comparison of Noah’s Day To Our Own, (available on AMAZON.com) is an in-depth look at Genesis chapters 6 – 8 to see how our day compares to Noah’s day as Jesus stated in Matthew 24:37* I Am A Giant Slayer - Recognizing and Overcoming the Giants in Your Life exposes the giants that are walking the face of the earth today and presents strategies for not only how to see them but how to overcome them by looking at the examples of three Giants slayers found in the bible - a woman, a man, and the young man David.* Giant Slayer - The Training Manual presents an overlooked demographic of giant slayers (the elderly) and then provides extensive training in how to Dress for Battle in one's whole armor of God. This book birthed the online school I Am A Giant Slayer (TheArtisansPEN.org)* 24 Hours is only 51 pages in length, but it is also one of the most powerful books written by Jodi Serino-Barbour because it has us look at how we use the most valuable commodity we all have that once spent cannot be replaced. That commodity is time. We will all be held accountable for how we spent it on judgment day.* Encouraging and Empowering Kingdom-Minded Men and Women in the Ministry of Business does just that by breaking down barriers that keep us from receiving the help that we need, and pointing us in the direction of the open door that awaits us on our journey.These are only a few of what Jodi L Serino-Barbour has poured out in her journey toward becoming a prolific writer.Alongside writing, JODILYNN SB PUBLISHING and EDITING CO. expanded to become JODILYNN SB’s P.E.N. (Publishing, Editing, and Narrating) which not only includes the release of audiobooks narrated by Jodi; but, also includes her being released on an even greater platform - Smashwords. Her growth continued in 2022 and led to Jodi Lynn publishing under the business name The Artisans PEN (Publishing, Editing, and Narrating) and then opening an online school based upon her Giant Slayer books.Jodi Serino-Barbour enjoys her connection with Smashwords which opened the door for her to be published on even more platforms for her e-books and her audiobooks.
