Tricia McNair: Noble Life Ministries

There was a woman named JeanMarie who had eight daughters and 2 sons. One of the daughters died physically and another daughter died emotionally. The one daughter who died emotionally became a prostitute, her name was Ellen. Ellen rejected the love of her mother and sisters and brothers. She decided that her pain was great and she would feel no pain anymore. Therefore, she used drugs and alcohol to kill her emotions. She numbed her emotions to life. She was a dead woman walking. She felt as though her life was non-valuable to any one; not even to the children she produced through prostitution.
