God uses our past to prepare us for our calling


Hello! I’m Darla, the founder and visionary of OHSOFREE Ministries. I’ve discovered through Christ the me that God created, not the one changed by this world. My relationship with God is intimate and my calling is clear. Unfortunately, my past was different.

I was 18 when I married. The white picket fence I dreamed about quickly turned into an emotional mess. I spent years dealing with stressful episodes, negative words spewed in anger, slamming doors, and blaming each other for unmet expectations. I made choices that I couldn’t take back. My thoughts were full of hurt, guilt and shame. After 23 years, the marriage ended. When I finally realized I couldn’t fix my problems, I turned to the God - a loving Father and Friend. So, why share my story?

I share my story, not to sit in my shame or rot in my regret, but to offer hope.

Now, I’ve been in my second marriage for 18 years.  I have 6 adult children: 2 Bio, 2 from my second marriage, 2 adopted in 2009 and in 2023 we adopted our Grandchild!

I’m excited to share what I’ve learned along the way, so you can also experience the life God created for YOU! 

Expanding the vision...

In 2022, Darla's first book launched, Just Say Hello: Knocking down the walls to discover the ONE relationship that changes everything.  She thought her journey was one of an author, but God had a different plan. The book was a tool to help women discover the trauma that was keeping them stuck and build relationships with women who understand the journey of transformation.

The journey was clear, and 
OhSoFreeWomen Facebook Group was formed. 

Where we are headed...

God is amazing! He has given many great opportunities over the past two years. We have met so many wonderful women and built strong and lasting relationships. We even launched the OHSOFREE APP ministry!

On the APP you will find opportunities to connect through our Prayer and Friends Chat. The women are from all over the world!

You also will receive daily encouragement through our Freely Speaking Audio Devotions where our writers share personal experiences and how God is working in their lives.

The APP offers Bible studies and Training Session. These periodic groups meet online and offer a wonderful opportunity to make new and lasting relationships as we study God's Word.

Yearly, we look forward meeting at in-person events where we hug necks, worship, pray together and enjoy a meal. Plus, our yearly OSF retreat is a weekend event to build deeper relationships, laugh, and just relax as we enjoy the Lord.
