About Me
- Ellie
- I love Jesus Christ with all my heart. For reasons that I will never understand, He died to save me from my sins. I love Him because He first loved me. He says in Matthew 25:40 that He is "the least of these." He is the orphan and the widow and the poor and the hungry. I love Him and want to serve Him through serving the least.I have 8 siblings; 2 biological, 5 adopted, and one "unofficially adopted". Adoption has opened my eyes and changed my heart forever. I have a new passion and what I have seen has broken me and changed my heart. This started out as a journal of my trip to Ethiopia to bring home my 3 newest siblings but it has turned into much more. God has started me and my family on a whole new journey and it's crazy, exciting, hard and just plain God. Since we started adopting 6 years ago, God has taken me to Africa, China and Guatemala to care for and visit orphans. God has taught me so much through serving them and getting to know them and I hope to be able to give as much to them as they have to me.

Ellie- thank you for sharing this video. We are so looking forward to visitng Kolfe I've collected two full cases of DVD's, 2 dictionaries, T-shirts, socks, pens and pencils for the boys.
By the way we met a woman in Atlanta, her name is Tia, she was traveling with another woman picking up her three girls and she'll be heading back to Ethiopia in a few weeeks to pick up her daughter- anyways she said do you know Ellie, I saw her in Ethiopia! I was so excited and we both commented on what a wonderful young woman you are! Hope you are enjoying your new siblings!

Ellie, that is an amazing video. Thank you for sharing this!
Your Blog is awesome!!! Did you put the video together? I have been praying for the Kolfe Boys and your family each day. It is amazing how the Lord has used you and your family to touch our hearts to pray for these young men. Please keep blogging and we'll keep praying.
