Slow but not so sure

My first five mile run since Feb 1st! I didn't think I was going to make it: I have become so unfit. I've put on a stone since September with all this sitting around.

Urging myself to carry on this morning I realised that I';m feeling the same about ordination: I don't think I can do it. In fact I know I can't do it - in my strength. But God is telling me I can do it because he chose me. I also realise that all this theology is making me spiritually flabby. I need to exercise more, both physically and spiritually.
