Sometimes I look around and wonder how I got here. How is it that a girl who sings a little and decided to talk about her abortions became surrounded by people she’s looked up to and admired because of their passion for Jesus and their bold stance for LIFE? This week I found myself praying [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
I’ve been putting off getting my hair done for a while because it’s hard for me to rationalize spending the money AND spending 2 hours being still. (I know, first world problem!) ☺ But, alas, my roots were quite blond so I scheduled an appointment for today. I’ve been battling the blues for a few [...]
My heart hurts today. Nothing necessarily bad has happened…so maybe it’s silly. It seems everyone I know is having babies. And I want to rejoice. I want to hold their babies and tell my friends how awesome motherhood is and what a blessing my kids are. But all I can think is that 2 of [...]
One of my earliest childhood memories was when Adam Walsh was abducted from a Sears department store in Florida. That was in 1981, so I would have been 5 years old at the time. I remember watching my parents sit in front of the news and talk about how terrible it was. I remember the [...]
We decided several years ago that our family wasn’t going to celebrate Easter. This is, of course, the time of year that we have to explain that a lot, so I wanted to pass this information along. Let me preface this by saying that we truly love Jesus with all of our hearts and these [...]
I saw a video last week from a Planned Parenthood rally, and it honestly left me speechless. I am well aware that much of the argument of the “pro-choice” side leans toward the argument that we should be able to do whatever we want to our own bodies…but to hear these statements… “Abortion on demand [...]
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 [...]
I went to Kansas City last week to visit my friends Josh and Alice (and their SWEET daughter Emma) AND to visit the International House of Prayer which has had 24/7 prayer and live worship since 1999. So, while I was singing backgrounds for Britney Spears, Mike Bickle was starting a prayer meeting that has [...]
