About Sarah Jane

Welcome, fellow explorer of The Wild! I am thrilled to have you join me on this expedition towards a greater understanding of ourselves and our purpose. As I recount my own journey, I hope it serves as a guiding light for yours. I have learned that authenticity is the best way for me to travel my path in this world and among the MANY mistakes I have made to get to the point that I’m comfortable with who I am, I feel no shame in laying it all out there. Maybe my mess can help someone realize it’s okay to be messy, no one is perfect, we can clean it up later and learn from those oh-so-fun choices we made when we thought we knew everything.
Growing up in the Southern Baptist church as a preacher's child, I was expected to adhere to the strict beliefs and interpretations of my father's congregation. As I began to question the literalist tradition and express my curiosity, I found myself labeled as the black sheep. It was a challenging time, as I constantly grappled with the conflict between my own experiences and the expectations imposed upon me.
I possessed what I believed to be spiritual gifts, manifestations of the Holy Spirit within me. But instead of celebrating these connections, I was made to feel as though they were somehow wrong. Consequently, I hid these gifts away, fearing the judgment and rejection of others. Yet, deep within my being, I could feel the undeniable tether to the Holy Spirit, driving me to search for a more resonate understanding of our existence.
Everything took an unforeseen turn when my father left our family and was compelled to resign from his position. The aftermath of his departure and the treatment we experienced from the congregation shattered my perception of reality. In the wake of these events, I questioned everything I had once believed in, and it led me down a path of denial, even denying the existence of God.
However, the Spirit, ever persistent within me, refused to abandon me. After years of searching my heart, enduring the trials of abandonment, making those oh-so-fun choices I had to clean up, a marriage that became toxic, parenthood, divorce, and reaching the depths of despair, I was called out of the darkness and reborn. In 2017, an awe-inspiring awakening brought forth an influx of divine revelations. Ever since, I have been on a continuous journey to integrate the deep wisdom bestowed upon me during that miraculous moment with the Life I am blessed to live. I continually learn about the human experience from all different perspectives, currently and historically, in order to see the tapestry of Life. In all of its intricacies, we are all threads that connect and weave to form a Divine picture of what it means to exist.
Here is what I know to be True: we are all children of the Most High God. In this world, distractions aplenty seek to divert our attention from the undeniable Truths that lie within our hearts. Materialistic allurements such as money, fame, sex, entertainment, and substances entice us and cultural, societal and familial influences affect us, but external answers cannot offer the Truth we seek. The elusive Truth we yearn for, the one that Truly matters, resides deep within our heart space.
In accepting this Truth, we must open ourselves to the healing power of Christ, our Divine and Perfect connection to the Most High God.
