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 am undone when I truly contemplate the cross. I am in awe of Jesus, the ONLY man with the power to raise Himself from the dead. I know that many of us have been raised in church listening to this for decades, but have you truly meditated on what the cost was? On how [...]
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. [...]
Ms. Houston, I think we owe you a sincere apology. When we first bought your cassette tapes so many years ago, we were taken in by your voice. The strength and control of every note and the emotion with which you sang was truly captivating. Your voice was described as “timeless” and “flawless”. You gave [...]
The March for Life was so emotional for me this year, and I’ve struggled for two weeks to write this blog. I try to be as transparent as I can in my writings in hopes that it will help others heal. So, I pray that as you read, you will hear and feel the constant [...]
First of all, I want to say a huge THANK YOU to those of you who emailed me and messaged me to tell me about your pro-life ministry or about your church that has devoted itself to being a presence at the nearest abortion clinic. Many of you have been in the pro-life movement for [...]
This morning I returned to the clinic where I had my abortions 12 years ago to pray for and plead with Mom’s not to make the decision I made so many years ago. As I pulled into a parking spot, I sat in the car for a minute and closed my eyes. I wanted to [...]
Several years ago I was at a women’s conference in North Carolina singing with Rita Springer. Once worship was finished, I went to sit in the back of the church. The lady who was teaching began talking about prophecy and prophetic words, and I couldn’t help but scoff a bit under my breath. Over my [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
