What is WILD Quest?

This is the first official entry into the WILD Quest blog. I thought it was important that readers understand what WILD Quest is and how it started.



WILD Quest is a journey. It is a journey for women to find their true selves as God has always intended for them. I developed WILD Quest because in the course of my journey God brought me to a place where I discovered that my personal struggle is very common among women. My struggle has been one where I questioned myself daily; never feeling I measured up to other women. I believed lies such as I wasn't thin enough or attractive enough, my clothes weren't right, I didn't have the right personality, I wasn't feminine enough and I was sure everyone knew I wasn't spiritual enough. Over time these negative self beliefs ate away my self confidence and diminished my effectiveness. Like most women who struggle with this I took up ways to compensate and prove myself. My attempts to prove myself were unhealthy, consistently ineffective, and joyless.

When I was 39 I finally turned myself over to God. I made the decision not to hate myself anymore and let God start loving me. I allowed God to correct, teach and love me through His word. Over the course of several months and now years I have learned to embrace myself the way God sees me, as a masterpiece created for a purpose that God has always intended for me. I have come into my forties an new creation, finally!

For years I whined to God complaining that he didn't have a purpose for me. But God was waiting for me to surrender and stop trying to take charge of what he had already planned in advanced. In a very clear message God pulled together the main paths I took to finally become this new creation and be truly free. Through my quest with God I learned the importance of being willing, I started being more vulnerable in my relationships, I began to share God in a lifegiving way and most important I experienced the joy of being fully devoted to Him.WILD Quest is your journey to discovery how God loves you and what he has planned for your life.

I feel The Lord is calling me to share this message with women. I am now embarking on another quest with God -the development of WILD Quest Adventure Retreats and Spiritual Journeys. I am developng retreats where women can experience the outdoors and participate in activities that help them understand their struggles and discover how God can lead them through their own personal quest to becoming the woman God always intended them to be. We have run two retreats with South Mountain Community Church in Utah and are planning to expand this to other women and churches. See wildquest.org for more information on WILD Quest.



I hope this blog will start dialog exploring what women struggle with, why it holds them back and how God can work in our lives to set us free. Thanks for reading, I hope I hear from you soon.
In Him
