In the Waiting: My Journey Through the Wilderness
Oleson shares how her world shattered in the fall of 2016, bringing her to her knees and costing her the career and life she had always known. What followed was a deeply personal journey through grief, loss, and the painful unraveling of her past. With unwavering honesty, she recounts how Christ gently led her through a long and sacred healing process—one that required her to confront a history of trauma she had carried for decades. In the wilderness of waiting, she discovered that surrender was not defeat but transformation. Emerging not merely as a survivor, but as a warrior and a healer, Oleson now embraces her calling through faith—as a light bearer and humble servant for Christ.
Kim Renea Oleson is a world traveler, missionary, volunteer children’s pastor, and retired forensic psychotherapist. She graduated summa cum laude with a master’s degree in psychology from the University of Northern Colorado.
A writer and photographer with a deep love for the outdoors, Oleson enjoys hiking, cycling, and wandering through botanical gardens. She is the proud mother of two sons and later in life a young 15-year-old child came into her life and it wasn’t long before they started calling each other mother and daughter. She is a grandmother to five beloved grandchildren and devoted companion to a scruffy little Puerto Rican street dog named Pashie.
