I'm glad you're here! If you know me, you know I'm a Texas girl born & raised-- in the 70's when the music was great, the hair was big, the clothes were funky and the days were simple. I LOVE the sun and all things outdoors; biking, skiing, walks with Sadie (my Goldendoodle-- more about her later)... on a beach or in the mountains. Tacos, chips & salsa, diet coke and sweet time spent on the Front Porch is Texas heaven to me. When I'm outdoors my heart is connected with God. His spirit feels so alive in nature and that's what my heart longs for daily. I've done a lot of life on my Front Porch and have always said, "if that Front Porch could talk, oh the stories it would tell". Stories that are a mix of sweet and salty and alot of messy but most are how Jesus met me there everyday working miracles in and around me that I couldn't see. Come sit with me on the Front Porch as I share my story of how God took all the pieces of this messy broken heart and made beauty out of ashes. (More about me and a snip-it of my story)
Join the Front Porch community and stories that say-- you are not alone.
See you on the Front Porch,

Welcome to the Front Porch
Never Underestimate the Power of a Story!

Hey Y'all...
Welcome to my little corner of Texas. I don't know about you but I love the front porch. It is my favorite space for quiet time with Jesus or hanging out with friends and family drinking iced tea, coffee, or diet coke as we share stories and catch up. I especially love watching a beautiful Texas sunset that leaves you breathless and saying, "God's masterpiece right there!"
I have always loved listening to stories, maybe because I grew up in a family that loved telling them. I believe stories are important to the world and have the ability to impact lives... especially the honest, vulnerable, and relatable stories that move our hearts and tell us we are not alone. It was a similar story told that opened my eyes to see that I was not the only one.
I am not afraid now of telling my own story of how the pain of abortion and abuse impacted my life if it helps someone else choose a different path, leads a wounded heart towards healing, or helps bring hope to a hurting world. Our stories matter! Never be ashamed of yours... it just may become your greatest gift in helping others.
Peace, Terri
The story you tell about that mountain you climbed may just become the survival guide for someone wanting to give up.
