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….

Let’s Say
Let’s say By: Audra Ohm Let’s say, Rosa Parks didn’t speak out. Let’s say, she buried her pain deep in that route. Instead, she pierced her lips and let fear close them shut. Then, moved to the back with a pain in her gut. Let’s say, Billy Graham didn’t give his life to God. Let’s…
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…
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…
To the People
I wrote this poem around a year ago and never felt it was the right time to share it. Maybe I was scared to have my words out there, maybe I was thinking it was too heavy. Either way, I can’t keep it hidden any longer. My heart breaks for our country. I want peace,…
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…
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…
Saying Goodbye
The plan was to run a few errands before heading to the hospital but that all changed when my mom got the phone call. “Wait, what? Slow down. Everything ok? Ok we are on our way.” As she hung up the phone, I had a flashback to dream from the night before. There she was, walking toward…

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…

First off let me just start this post off by giving my deepest apologies if you are or have experienced a miscarriage, either personally or through a close loved one. This post is not an easy one to write and one I wish I didn’t have to write. But, since going through six miscarriages myself,…
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 Letter to End Internet Bullies
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and pluck the internet from existence. There are times when I thrive on social media and enjoy how people from all over the world can interact with one another. I enjoy the community that it creates and the opportunities it has given people. But, what I…
I AM 1 of 4
Today began just like any other day. I stumbled out of bed, grabbed the babes and headed to the kitchen and waited for the coffee maker to pour me a cup of gold. Black. That’s how I take it these days. Enough with the frills, lets just get down to business, right? I wish, honestly…
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….

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…
