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,
Terri Kelley
To see tethered and broken hearts healed and set free as we dare to live authentic lives, create community, cultivate purpose, and love like Jesus.

A Texas Girl...
I am a Texas girl, born in the '60s and bred in the '70s! I grew up in a small central Texas town that loved high school football and Friday night lights. We had some of the greatest music of all time, wore hip-huggers and bell bottoms, Farrah Fawcett and Dorothy Hamill hairstyles, roller-skated to disco, two-stepped to country music, and gathered at the drive-in movie theater on hot summer nights. My first car was a sporty 5-speed yellow Pinto which many days lived up to her lemon color but when she ran, she was fast, loud, and gave me a sense of freedom and escape... and I loved her!
I love the Texas sun and being outdoors running, biking, walking, hiking, skiing, and watching sunsets on the porch. Being in God's creation breathes life into my soul. I live in t-shirts and flip-flops and my favorite foods are Tex-Mex, Chips & Salsa, and Diet Coke... of course!
I am a "creative" that loves exploring new ideas, experiencing new places, meeting people, and hearing their stories. Hospitality runs through my blood thanks to my Grandmother who exampled hospitality every day and was the greatest servant I know. She also had a "gift" of storytelling!
My passion is telling my story and helping women navigate and heal from past heartbreak and trauma. Come as you are... ALL are welcome to the table. You are loved!
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF YOUR STORY!
I have heard many stories of pain and heartbreak that women secretly carry deep inside, often leaving them numb, disconnected, and standing at the edge of a cliff. I walked along the edge of that same cliff for many years feeling unseen and unknown by those around me, fearing rejection if they knew who I really was. I had a wounded heart living in exile, convinced God had turned away from me and would never see or love a girl like me.
His name is "El-Roi" ~The God Who Sees Me~ and my story is about what God can do to a human heart shattered and tethered to the many hidden secrets of a painful past. I am not the same as I was. I have been changed by the One who sees, pursues, heals, and loves me more than my human heart could ever know or understand. God brought me out of exile and set me free to share my story -- a story of how abuse and abortion impacted my life and the miracles Jesus did to redeem the shattered pieces of this broken heart.
I love sharing my pain--to--purpose story. It brings a message that Jesus still works miracles today and I know this because I am His miracle story. I want women to experience the same life changing redemption, freedom, and miracles. I want them to experience Jesus.
