Ellen

My friend, Ellen, is the mother of five boys.

She is one of those people that is always on the move

and has changed a lot since I met her

a few years ago.

When Ellen and I met it was because

we had moved into her neighborhood.

Her oldest son was one of the

first people we talked to.

He was not shy in the least

as he got off the bus that day.

I recognize the time that Ellen has spent

searching for answers about

being a Mom,

a wife and a daughter of God.

I have seen growth manifested

in her life in all of these areas

and I am so proud

of the woman she has become.

Just today she told me about

yet another big step she is about to take

in her service for the Lord

and I just have to shake my head

in awe at the beauty of what the Lord

is doing in her life.

Ellen, you go girl!!!!

It hasn't always been easy...but...

You are making a difference

in the lives around you!
