About Kelli
This is my truth. What's yours?
For the greater part of my life, I lived in consistent fear. I invited fear into my home and placed a roof over its head. I coddled it with the what ifs of life and nurtured its insecurities by convincing myself that I had to have things all figured out. I had a life plan, a wife plan, a mother plan, and a plan for the unexpected. But secretly, I was fear's tenant, and it was making my life unbearable. But eventually, I wanted out of that house of torment—and I was willing to leave without notice. The truth was, even though I drank from the deep waters of prayer, I had not made prayer my consistent weapon.
Four years ago while fasting, God granted me the eviction notice I desired for so long. He whispered the title "Hiding Place," and I began seeking deeper purpose for this book. If for no one else, I wrote Hiding Place
for myself. I needed to name my fears and learn how to reverse their status.
Kelli's passion revolves around her husband, Lathan Wood, sons, Lathan II and Kaiden, family and close friends. As a forensic interviewer, adjunct professor, travel agent, and entrepreneur—life gets busy. Kelli has learned her needed self-care is travel, preferably trips offering luxury, excellent hospitality, and a beach or body of water. Prayer, the sound of prayer, the aroma of prayer, and the presence of prayer are Kelli's deep waters into which she dives, drinks, and beckons others.
