As she trembles at times to share her story transparently will you come to see clearly that even a mother in prison, shackled by her worst enemy, is her children's entire world?

This is a narrative journey through the battles of this woman's life that include, being kidnapped in her young years, being sexually and emotionally abused and devalued in catastrophic ways. As you read this I invite you to decide for yourself if the writings and the inspiration of this book was God or simply the words coming from a woman of abuse? Was it the weight of having her first child raising questions about her past, or was it by design from an all wise Creator, carefully placing her where she needed to be to grow in her calling? Was it a coincidence that while she was making room for a crib and dresser for her new arrival that she found the contents of poems and letters she had written as a broken hearted teenager? Was it by design that family and childhood pictures and many other things from her past were found in a crumpled damaged box? When she was flooded with emotion because of what she was reflecting on was it the words of her Creator patiently pointing at each content saying, "Ellen this is where you began and so it is here where we begin. Are you ready? Or were they words of a woman rummaging through painful events that needed to believe that Jesus was kneeling beside her and that He would make sense of it all? As you read of the difficult circumstances of her life can you find some meaning and reasons within your own? As she trembles at times to share her story transparently will you come to see clearly that even a mother in prison, shackled by her worst enemy, is her children's entire world?

Most my videos are created like one would create a scrapbook. Images that blend in with family videos and cutting and pasting of family & friends pictures. Putting different borders around different pictures and coloring in my hearts expressions. Reading the subject of the videos would be crucial to understand the meaning and the heart behind each video so I suggest that you do. It will make for a better experience. Much of what is here is between God and I and not all wil be explained because it is a personal expression between God and I. Certianly you will walk away knowing more then you even wanted to know about me
When you encounter a piece of art - be it a painting, a novel, song and yes even a youtube video ... consider the art as a reflection of the artist. What period of the artist's life did the piece come from? What effect did their state of mind, his health, or his relationships have on it? How does it fit into the fuller body of their work. Consider the art of reflection of the times in which it was created. How can one seperate a Charles Dickens novel from the times in which it was played out in the authors mind. Here in the midst of all my expressions is technical mastery of great God, intellectual riches, even said there is more riches to be had dissecting my sentences than sitting back and absorbing the song, pictures and video. Even for casual observers there is a message I am inentionally sending. What better place to be then getting to know others and their hearts.

My hope is that in my expressions that you will come to know yourself better. Glean off my story and help you to see your story in my expressions. In Jesus Name I pray that you grow in and learn that love is the only thing that you can't have too much of or give too much of! So God .. help us to empty our pockets! Let it spill over and pour out! Spend it all! AMEN

About Me:
 
There are days if on film I would see myself in black n white or one of those old silent movies with captions written out on the bottom. Other days the screen would explode with color and clarity. Even days that would play itself more like a cartoon rather then a romance or drama. In all my creativity I hope to express those days and the mood. Yet no matter my expression one thing stands to be true...

What I put on display for all to see is my life's motto ....

"While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us." I truly desire to be the best I can be. Physically, emotionally, spiritually, etc. Yet what is most important to me is what is happening deep within!

to jokerman024 part two of message ... Today I am at peace and even though there still is storms and pain I am resting in Gods design and alll that He meant for me by way of love I am experiencing for the first time. Life is sweet and struggles lessened by promises kept. Please stay in touch and know that today your messages were a blessing to a stranger .... to the woman who created this video, to the woman whose pictures are in this video about the woman who loves great. To the woman whose fears no longer suppress her dreams! God bless you! Ellie

To jokerman024 I appreciate your heartfelt message. I am fascinated that you referred to her as if she was not me. It hit an area of my heart that would be very hard to explain and yes it was a love for her (me) that many cannot understand. I created the video and the love I put into this video was for a man that I believe God chose for me. I did not know what he looked like or what his dreams were but I believed and waited for months that turned into years for him. In the mean time I was raising three children and going through so much I prayed that God would bring him soon. Now that I know who he is and what it is he dreams I know also why God had not brought him when I pleaded. I created this video and many more and there was a new love for myself that I had yet to know. A value for myself that I had never experienced with another. There was a dream that God kept alive. In doing so he kept me fighting and thriving until I met him.

to the creator...what i believe, that u demand by design...is that there is love....dont forget that u cannot live without love...and while i am a stranger....i dont believe she would like u to live any other way. i know my friends, and myself alike, would never find enjoyment in suffering, or pain...but moving on in efforts of their strengths....that what they showed me would be my path in life...maybe im wrong...maybe im something else....but ive always found love to be a reason to move on and better myself....ive always found that remembering what the past has taught me makes me better for the future......God or not, she was there. and u care. dont complicate it any more than that. make your own choices.

it doesnt matter what happens....its always about how much you mean to each other.....and dear ellie, whoever made this...loved you more than i can even understand, and still i cry...i didnt know you, but i cry for the sad soul who misses you so much that they leave this rendition for you....and i know that this is a poor subsitiute for them without you.

Dear Ellie, If this deep meaningful video had been my creation I'd have named it "Tears of sorrow - Tears of Joy". You know I am always moved by your work. Thanks for creating this wonderful video. Thanks for sharing your inner life, your heart, your memories, so freely. It does me good. Sincerely, Owen
