The Way of Transforming Discipleship
Trevor Hudson and Stephen D. Bryant

This book is part of the Companions in Christ series published by The Upper Room. Trevor Hudson has been in the Methodist ministry for over thirty years, spending most of this time in and around Johannesburg, South Africa. I've gotten to know him through his work with The Upper Room. Trevor is a powerful writer and a humble, authentic leader. More about the book.

Thanksgiving this day
That God keeps promises of grace
Enabling our growth.
May we find deep joy
As pages of life unfold
Using gifts to build.

I believe I am being called to follow by listening closely and taking action in service to the gifts bestowed upon me. This includes caregiving, teaching, creating, inspiring, motivating, and giving. I continue to be inspired and instructed by the unhurried simplicity of Jesus' ministry.

I'm called to use what I've learned in the past and what I'm learning on the internet to speak up about issues that effect quality of life. It takes time, but a little time now and then will add up.

I have to say , I don't know. It may be that he takes me on with the things I have been doing, but I am reaching the stage of life where I can see that more major changes aren't too far away. I just ask that he keep me following wherever he intends to take me.
