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.

Healed People, Heal People.
Breaking Generational Cycles of Abuse & Abortion
Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story.
Psalm 107:2
Data tells us that 1-in-3 women have experienced both the trauma of abuse and abortion. Experience tells me there are many wounded hearts living in the secrets of trauma, shame, guilt, grief, and loss. Secrets can keep a heart hidden and disconnected from an authentic life and relationships with others... especially with God. Shame secrets lead women into exile, feeling God will never love or forgive them, and that they are going to hell.
​
Secrets have the power to negatively influence every thought, decision, relationship, and self-worth.
​
Statistics and studies are often skewed but a personal experience is not. This is my story! My life was hidden in the secrets of abortion and abuse... physical, sexual, emotional, and spiritual. I had buried it all deep inside and nailed it shut. My secrets turned into shame and I spent most of my life in search of love, approval, and belonging... thinking it would heal the hurt inside my wounded soul. It was a brave and vulnerable woman who shared her similar story of abortion and abuse that opened my heart to see that I was not the only one and that changed everything for me.
​
​Our stories have the power to heal hearts, impact lives, and change the world.
​
I am now living healed and free by the one who loves me more than I could ever know or understand. It was then that He told me to go out and tell my story and bring his girls in exile back home to Him.
​
I was one way, now I am completely different, and the thing that happened
in between was Jesus. This is why I tell my story!
