Jennifer Margis
How God Touched My Life
Jennifer Margis is a 32-year-old wife and mother. She has lived in the same town her
entire life, growing up with three brothers and one sister. Her entire family was very
artistic, from singing and playing instruments, to drawing and painting, to photography.
Somehow, though, Margis felt that this artistic gene had skipped her. She definitely had
the desire, and tried to be artistic in many areas, but her talent never seemed to develop or
show itself in the way it was apparent in her brothers and sisters.
Margis became very rebellious in her teenage years, getting into all kinds of trouble.
When she was 17, she was diagnosed with massive clinical depression, had panic attacks
and also developed a few phobias. She struggled with this until she was 24, when she met
Jesus Christ and He delivered her and healed her from this hideous thing along with
many other things! At this point in her life, she felt God started to develop those gifts that
he had placed inside her. She now works at her son's school and is a Sunday school
teacher, co-leader of a woman's group and is the head of the flag and dance ministry at
her church.
Her real passion, however, is Photography. God has given her a love and talent for taking
pictures. She loves taking pictures of all things, but really loves bugs! Some of her
favorite subjects to take pictures of are the praying mantis, spiders, dragonflies and bees
of every kind! She gets very excited when she sees odd ones! She thinks bugs are very
comical and loves thinking of little phrases to caption her pictures with. Margis feels that
bugs are the one thing that people do not take time to stop and see, or that people kill
them because they don't see them as the beautiful creation God has made.
Jennifer feels privileged that God has gotten her attention and shown her that just because
something is small does not mean it is insignificant. She also believes that God has
placed a gift inside of every person, which they should use for His glory. He will help us
develop it when we are ready and in his timing, which is what she believes happened to
her, and led her to where she is today.
