"I went to the Appalachian Trail (AT) looking for something new in life to capture my attention and energy so that I could passionately find a respite from struggling with midlife transitions," said Abel. "What I found on the Trail was far more than my low-expectation prayers requested. Ephesians 3:17 states, 'May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love.' God's nature in the wilderness brought this balm of Truth to me and I was saved from my own demise."

Her love for God's nature is apparent in her history of Appalachian Trail backpacking and hiking. Abel's favorite pastime is inspiring teenage Girl Scouts to be self-sufficient in the outdoors. Her lifestyle is guided by a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Those who know her well describe her as "one who carries the light of Jesus."
