Walking with Jesus ~ Troy A Waugh

This is a true story of how Troy A. Waugh follows God's call and obeys what God tells him to do. Troy makes the decision of God's calling to walk the 444 mile walk of the Natchez Trace and write about the journey.  The trail is from Mississippi to Tennessee and was going to be a challenge with weather, time and his body's ability to hand the experience.  His plan started out with a plan to complete the walk in 31 days and finish on his 70th birthday.  Will he be able to do it?  In this book he journals his battle with emotions, body issues, and God speaking to him.  He gives us a deep look into what he went through, with many side stories of how he thought of his life experiences and where he is today.  He shares alot of his childhood, family, faith and being alone and with God.  He shares how he is able to come closer to God and at the end his out look on life was totally different.

I would recommend this true read to anyone that wants an inspiration read of any age.  I really liked the flow of the journey, it was not boring and kept a flowing pace, even with side stories they tied in nicely. This was a book of encouragement that makes you think, with God on your side you can accomplish anything.  This is a great book to read when you feel that you need a good pick me up read.

About the Book
Book:  Walking with Jesus
Author: Troy A. Waugh

Release Date: Feb, 2020

When God spoke to Troy Waugh saying, “I want you to walk the Natchez Trace,” he obeyed.
Never mind that he wasn’t young anymore—he would be seventy at the completion of the 444 mile walk. Never mind that the thirty-five-day walk would be far above his physical capabilities and experience. Never mind that this was Mississippi—in the summer.

Taking the challenge, Waugh uses the time to slow down and reflect on his life—his upbringing, his relationships, his struggles with workaholism—and to raise awareness for a homeless ministry. More than a travelogue, this is a journey into the soul of a man learning to walk with the Lord daily. His reflections will inspire others to reach for and accomplish their own difficult goals.

I believe my walk on the Natchez Trace was God’s method of shaking me loose from the regrets of my past and firming up my spiritual belief system so I could walk into the future closer to Jesus.

More from Troy

Please join me on a spiritual journey along the Natchez Trace Parkway from Natchez, Mississippi, to Nashville, Tennessee. This book relates a journey of spiritual renewal and rediscovery. While it does describe what I encountered on this historic parkway, this is not a hiking or nature book. It is about my walk with Jesus and how He has loved me even during the times I may have strayed from Him.
In 2014 I experienced a deepening of my relationship with Jesus like no other. This book is about that cleansing and invigorating experience. My prayer is that you, too, will feel God’s love for you and you will recommit yourself to loving Jesus.
These thirty-one chapters are based upon notes from the daily journal I kept throughout the hike. Each of the days is unique, and each day God revealed Himself to me in a different way.
I trust your spirit will be renewed as I share some of my experiences of angels’ visits, hearing the audible voice of God, the move of the Holy Spirit, a shocking suicide, the miracle of a change in the climate, and the renewed life that comes from turning your life over to God.
