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….

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…
Here’s to the Ones
Here’s to the ones that left their homes, Headed for school or work alone. Grabbed their keys and got in theirs cars, Praying for a normal day, not one with scars. Here’s to the ones at the wrong place and time. Wrongly accused of an inconceivable crime. Put on trial with minimal evidence, Death row…
The Day the Clouds Touched the Earth
The Day the Clouds Touched the Earth By: Audra Ohm Summer days are for daydreaming into the sky. Stretched out over a homemade quilt grandma made. Guessing the different shapes that go by. “Look at that one!” yelled Charlie as he prayed. “That’s a warrior like me, ready to conquer anything!” “Mighty and…
Sour Lemonade
We all have been deceived into believing one of Satan’s biggest lies, that this life, we have been given, is suppose to be easy and pain free. Its funny to me that the man that is in fact causing us hardships and pain, is also the one that is telling us we are to be…
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…
Better than diamonds
On Mother’s Day I wrote a post that eventually was deleted by my own mistake. At first I was upset, but ultimately I’ve always taken the approach of Gods perfect timing with my writing. I never push a post, they must flow from the mouth of God through my fingertips to your eyes. When a…
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…
A Confession and My Purple Jeep
I sat silently in a car full of noise on the side of a very busy road. A few minutes earlier my precious 1998 Jeep Cherokee decided it was time to rest. With my flashers on I slowly rolled it to a stop on the side of the road. Semi’s and cars whizzed past us…
The Forgotten Letter
The car came to a stop and I took a deep breath. My feet hit the Texas soil and a warm breeze blew my freshly fallen blonde curl across my face. I wondered why I wore my hair down in the first place as the humidity took down each curl by the second. As my…
Waters Deep
I stand with my feet in the ocean, the sun shining down on my bare shoulders from above. The perfectly white sandy beach is in front of me. Mostly everyone I know is on this beach. They are sun bathing, throwing frisbies, drinking wine & laughing, chasing kids and splashing in the water next to me….
Bolivia- coming soon!
As I am prepring to leave for Bolivia in less than a week, my heart is anxious to see the Holy Spirit move in everyone’s life! This trip doesn’t just affect the kids, but everyone involved. It is a ripple effect. It will drastically change the lives of the team members and each person that…
Keeping up with the Clutter
I haven’t been able to write in awhile because God has been working on me in a different area, the outside! He has been sending little hints my way for the last couple weeks and this week I put those hints into action. It may be drastic for some and encouraging for others, either way…
The morning God showed me a little bit of Heaven
The sun was just peaking over the horizon and the rays were trying to sneak into the room through the holes in the blinds. Distant worship music filled the quiet house and everyone was asleep, including myself. As I slept, I found myself in the midst of an early morning dream. For me, those are…
To My Daughter’s Birth Mother
Ever since you came into our lives I haven’t been able to go one day with out thinking about you. You created our daughter and I see you in her everyday. Her sweetness, her beautiful skin, and her small frame is from you. You went through the nausea, the heart burn, the food cravings, food…
Number Three
Ben got ready for bed just like any other night. He brushed his teeth, washed his face, turned the fan on and climbed into bed. The fleece sheets were comfort to his cold toes. His wife laid there next to him, already asleep and the dog was curled up in the curve of her knees. Their…
Called to Bolivia
A few months back I had a dream that confused me and scared me. It was a dream of stepping into ministry. I felt unequipped and nervous in the dream and in waking life I had the same feeling. I have been on mission trips in the past through a non-profit organization called Visiting Orphans,…

White Noise
I have written out a few blog post in the last couple weeks but have kept them as drafts. I haven’t published them yet because I feel like there is something missing. I have been waiting for God to speak to me and I hear nothing. I am trying to decide if this is writers…
