I went to a dinner the other night that celebrated W.I.L.D. women. The dress code for the evening was animal prints, and believe me when I say that these women showed up in tops, skirts, dresses, shoes, belts, earrings, scarves, handbags, and as a few of the gals shared, even underwear! Fortunately, most women chose to wear only one or two pieces of animal-inspired clothing so it was fun rather than a zoo-keeper's worse nightmare.
The words "party girl" may have immediately come to mind. And in a way, we did celebrate party girls, just not the kind you might be thinking of. No, these party girls are women in lifelong development for God. Get it? Women In Lifelong Development.
Debbie Alsdorf -- the creator of this visionary thinking and our hostess for the evening -- says that WILD women are radical in their belief that living God's way is the only way to live a fully intentional, purposeful, peaceful, love-filled, joyful life. She didn't say a painless, no-problem, easy, have-it-my-way kind of life. WILD women actively spend their entire lives growing in Christ, not just resting on the laurels of their mountain top experiences. That means growing in Him through our trials and tribulations, which are coming just as sure as the sun rises and sets every day.
More on WILD women later. In the meantime, I'm looking cute as can be in my leopard print earrings and my zebra-inspired Sketchers. Oh yes, and did I mention my bra?
