Status Updates From Following Jesus: Finding Ou...

One chapter in and I’m already feeling drawn to this book. My longtime pastor for 20 years was not only mentored by Nouwen, he exemplified his spirit in his pastoring hundreds of people in the Christian faith. His soul left this earth July 2025 but will live on in those he touched with Jesus’s love for His creation. And so with that, on to Chapter 2, but not before I collage and write on Chapter 1. Shalom.

“Following Jesus is following the voice of the One who calls us away from useless wandering or just sitting there. Jesus says “Follow me”. If we chose to listen and follow, our life gradually comes into focus. It’s no longer tiring. We know where to direct our energies. We know what is important and what is not.”
