Well, it's taken me some time just to get to Day 4 of the wild woman challenge. Not because I was busy with work or anything like that. It was simply because I was in the wilderness becoming a wild woman. When I first started the challenge I was super excited to start this next chapter of my life. I knew it would be a little challenging but this experience has been far beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I got to day three but something just didn't feel right. Like God was telling me to go back and start over because there were things I needed to hear but I missed them the first time. Then doubt started to plant in my head. I'm like maybe I'm not ready for this, maybe I'm doing it for the wrong reasons, maybe I haven't done enough, maybe this isn't my time, maybe I'm not who God needs me to be for this. I felt really bad like I was letting myself and God down. I was going through a depression and I needed this. I needed this to bring me out of that darkness. So there were days I'd be doing the challenge and I just didn't hear from God. I wasn't feeling the connection. Then I realized it was because I wasn't listening. There was a step I missed before I started this challenge and that was selfceare. Once I had a chance to relax, pray, meditate, breathe, stretch, listen to music, write, sing... just focus on myself a little. I could then take on the challenge and receive God's message. I've been taking my time with this thing. Going back to re-watch if I need to and being patient with myself because it aint easy. It's a very emotional life changing process. Day 4... I'm still here and I'm still fighting to be a Wild Woman. Thank you God!

This post resonated with me. I’ve been stuck on day two. Not becuase I’ve forgotten about it, but becuase I’m serious about it. I vowed to not only complete each challenge but to give my all to each challenge and fully lean in to what God is trying to show me in those precious moments. Usually I would feel rushed or defeated becuase I haven’t finished the devotional in the pre-estimated time, but I now realize that God is taking his time on this journey becuase in order for me to hear him I have to slow down as well.
Hi Lanaj :) I'm Shaunte. God is taking his time with me as well. How are you?
Hello Ladies! I'm late with the challenge. Here lately I have been going through and one day I stumbled across the challenge which I started immediately. Reading this thread let me know I wasn't the only one where some days I didn't feel the connect. On the days I was able to connect it truly blessed my soul. I will be repeating the challenge until I am able to fully receive each day. I love SJR and I thank her for being a blessing in Soo many lives, especially mine.
Hey! How are you? How's the Wilderness?
I did the challenge when it was first posted but I just have to say the day on Wild Relationships has stuck with me till this day! I have found so much freedom in classifying my relationships and releasing wilderness expectations from honeymoon relationships!!
I am just now doing the seven day challenge I'm on Day 5 this really is a life changing challenge if you are putting your all into God and really trying to seek and listen to God like one of you ladies mentioned. I guess it was meant for me to read this thread because I feel like God wants me to pause and work on day 4 a little more because before I even started or even saw this challenge I believe God was calling me to fast. I have never fasted before and I really believe that is something God wants me to do. So day four wild worship goes well with I believe a fast to really fall into a deep worship with God. I did do maybe 4-5 hours of fasting yesterday no eating or drinking that's good right for a first time fast? Listening to the worship songs from the challenge really helped me make the connection with God that I was looking for but I really believe God wants me to fast longer.
