What is our purpose in this world, we ask. We crave to feel important, We want God to give us a generous task. We desire our purpose to be known. Our name written for future generations. Have our actions seated on a throne. We’re never satisfied and looking out, Waiting for our turn to make…

Show Them
Our job isn’t to change people. To make them different or same like us. Forcing them into a perfectly shaped steeple. As they sit in rows quiet and straight, Hiding from others. Afraid of the potential hate. We live in a world that’s black or white. It’s one or the other, not full of color….
John 1:5 Poem
One candle, one light, will bring hope to the darkness. One spark, one flicker, will light the flame. One act, one motion, will ignite a movement. One man, One God, can heal with The Name. By Audra Ohm Image from Pixabay.com

The Last Time
By Audra Ohm If I knew it was the last time we would talk over coffee at the kitchen table. I would have asked more questions, put my phone down and turned off the cable. If I knew it was the last time we went for a walk together. I would have walked a bit…
You weren’t made for this world.
The sunlight never touched your skin. The wind never blew in your precious face. Your heart fluttered for brief moment of mine. Your memory will last an eternity. I never got to hear you cry. I imagine your laugh to sound like mine. You visit me in my dreams at night All your first were…
One Horned Flying Horse
I look in the mirror and what do I see? One horn on my head, not two or three Everyone I see has more than one They are all alike except for me I stand alone in my pail plain skin While others around me all blend in Different colors all around I’m outside the…
Stepping into the Furnace
We all know the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. We read their story as kids and made a mental note in our heads of their great faith & God’s protection over their bodies. I didn’t think too much of that story beyond that because I believed it did not relate to me. I felt…

How to survive CRYageddon
What is cryageddon you ask? The Ohm dictionary defines it below: Cry•a•ged•don noun •When the majority of your offspring begin crying at the same time causing a sound that could possible break the sound barrier I yelled “what is this cryageddon!?” at the top of my lungs, just trying to out cry the other three…
What JoJo Siwa taught me about Spiritual Warfare
I had never heard the name JoJo Siwa before, until our unplanned, last minute, Descendants 2 premiere party. The girls were watching YouTube videos on the TV and this new song came on. Immediately, all the girls went crazy. They began to sing and jump up and down. I listened, unsure I was going to…
“God, can I get a little help here?”
A movie that is popular in our “house” right now is the new Disney movie, Moana. It seems to be on repeat and I honestly don’t mind one bit because it is THAT good. If you haven’t seen it I’m going to be referencing the movie so you may want to stop what you are…
The Ohm Flood
I turned over in the big empty bed glancing over at the clock right before pulling the covers over my face. An image flashed before my mind as I read it was 12:30 am. I was back in my house with flood water covering my feet. My focus went from my submerged feet to the…
Some may call us crazy
We received a call late Tuesday night informing us that our daughters birth mom was expecting again and she wanted us to adopt. My mouth dropped as I listened on the phone for all the details. She told me she is due early February and doesn’t know the gender yet. My heart leaped out of…

How to Align your Life with the Right Target
The young boy grabs his jacket off the hook and runs after his dad into the crisp morning air. The sun is just peaking over the pine trees casting glimmers of light onto the dew in the grass. His rain boots squeak as they follow a much larger & aged pair of work boots. The…
Stone by Stone
Hands tightly grabbed each of her arms carrying her down the long dirt path A sin exposed for all to see regret, sorrow, pain, and presumable death They threw her down against the wall her face landing in the dirt Her hands gripping the tiny stones beneath her tears falling onto her soiled scarlet skirt…
After the “exodus”
Almost a year ago we moved out of our house, in obedience, unsure where God was leading us. We only knew we were called to leave. We minimized our belongings and moved into the basement of my parents house until we heard the next step. We had/have no idea where God may be leading us…
The Promise Land and our Pregnancy
I sit at a high top table in the corner of a coffee shop today trying to write for the very first time in months. My protruding belly almost hits the table and I am reminded of God’s faithfulness and love toward his people. In October we found out we were pregnant, again. This will be…
Just Love
As I sit her in the airport awaiting my final flight home,that has been delayed three times now and counting, I can’t help but reflect on this past week. How do I even put what I experienced into words? So many emotions, so encouraged and I am changed beyond understanding. There are things about this…
