It was just a normal Monday. I was sitting on my bed putting make-up on and my cell phone rang. I looked down and it showed a name I didn’t recognize. (I program names in my phone & sometimes can’t remember who they are!!) Me: “Hello?” Lady: “Hey Kelly, it’s Katie from the adoption agency. [...]
I’ve needed to write a blog for a while, but I just haven’t had much to say. That in itself says a lot about the season I am in. 2011 is over. Let’s all breathe a sigh of relief! Among the chaos, though, God has done something in my heart. I’m a little calmer. I [...]
Since going incredibly about my painful past, my parents have been so supportive. They have prayed for me, watched my kids while I travel, and loved me through the tough days. In many ways, however, they have been silent about their feelings. I knew they needed time to process, grieve, and go through all of [...]
Would you like to know the wonder of Twitter? Well, here’s a great example… On Friday morning, I tweeted, “thinking of driving to Alabama to see @OctoberBabyFilm” Within a few minutes I was on the phone with Dan Atchison, the film’s producer, and he invited us to the premier that night in Birmingham with the [...]

For some, today will be the day their divorce becomes final. If one of these is you, how will you find hope and peace amidst unfair, uncontrollable, devastating [...]
Since I’m leaving town for a few days, Matt and I decided to go have lunch today, just the two of us. We enjoy each other so much. His patience with me is nothing but heroic. I love that man. Anyway, we got to the restaurant, walked in, and were seated in a booth adjacent [...]
How can we help the mothers who choose life? What can we do for the saved babies AFTER they are born? These are all questions I’ve been asking myself recently. Sidewalk counselors, crisis pregnancy centers, pregnancy resource centers, and adoption agencies are vital, beautiful parts of the pro-life community. We NEED them. Just this week [...]
Pro-life work can be heavy, serious business. So I frequently have to rely on the following faithful things to make me laugh… ENJOY! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONBNYTNDz-Q] I have had this VERY same conversation with Matt. Can you imagine women spending hours and hours together and never asking about their divorce?? Men do this! Crazy! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17PEUZvoxho] I can’t [...]
