I'm Kelly! I have been singing and playing piano for many years. I was once an extra on the Mickey Mouse Club and a background vocalist for Britney Spears. In 2003, I started attending church after years of heartache and pain caused by rejection, divorce, addiction and abortion. My relationship with God truly saved my life.
I am a spokeswoman for the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, a group of men and women who have chosen to tell our stories of the devastating effect abortion has had on our lives. Thirteen years ago, an incomplete abortion left me broken and suicidal after a doctor found hands and feet of my child left inside my womb. Today, I have chosen to take that pain and make it a purpose in my life. I use my voice on behalf of the millions of post-abortive men and women who live in regret, guilt, and self-hatred and also as a voice for the unborn.
I am also a worship leader/singer/songwriter and recorded an album in 2008 titled “In Your Delay." It is a collection of original songs that tell stories, ask questions and chronicle my journey so far. I am working on my follow-up album and have begun writing a book about my life.
I am currently a vocal coach & music teacher in Kansas City, where I live with my husband and our two children. I travel frequently to lead worship and tell my story. Thanks for visiting my website!
I’ve had a lot of conversations lately about disappointment. Maybe a situation didn’t turn out like we thought it would. Or a parent has hurt us. Or our kids made some really bad choices. Or someone isn’t being the friend they should be. Or a spouse seems distant and communication seems impossible. We have all [...]
1. Good friendships take time to build. They also take work and going through at least 3 earth-shattering issues together to be legit. 2. No one except you really cares what you weigh. 3. Never trust someone who is a crappy tipper…or is rude to waiters…or kicks puppies. 4. Everything is not a crisis. Don’t [...]
Maybe you’ve all noticed by newfound courage to pursue my dreams. It’s something that has been brewing for a few months (probably since I auditioned for The Voice), but I’ve just recently been able to put words to it. Or maybe I was just afraid to put it out there because I’d actually have to [...]
As many of you know, we moved to Kansas City almost a year ago because God said to. No, He didn’t appear in our living room, but there was a tug on both of our hearts to move close to the International House of Prayer and be a part of things that were going on [...]
I want everyone reading this to understand that I am a post-abortive Dad of 2 children. I have found healing and pray that all those men who are suppressing their pain and guilt will come to the one true Person who can forgive their sins, even the sin of murder, Jesus Christ. I was going [...]
The March for Life and Walk for Life for 2013 have ended, and last night we returned home to “normal life” for a while. I have talked about Goodness and Mercy in 4 times zones in the past 7 days. I have heard so many “me too” stories from post-abortive men and women that I [...]
I learned this week that a picture is worth a thousand words…and millions of views on the internet. My head is still spinning from the response to my blog about late term abortions in America. When I wrote it 72 hours ago, I had NO idea that it was going to spread like a wild [...]
Wednesday is late term abortion day at Orlando Women’s Center (the clinic where I had my abortions 12 years ago). When I first started visiting the sidewalks of abortion clinics to pray and minister, I had NO idea that late term abortions were even legal. I remember hearing about the Partial Birth Abortion Ban in [...]
Abortion is a sin that leaves so many unanswered questions behind. I’ve often expressed questions about myself like what kind of person I would be if I hadn’t chosen to take the lives of 2 of my children. But sometimes in the midst of heavy days like today, I think about my babies. They would [...]
“Mommy had an abortion.” Those are words I never thought I would say to my children. In fact, I was never going to tell them. I didn’t want to explain what abortion was much less tell them that their own mother had made such a terrible, sinful choice…TWICE. When I was asked to be a [...]
