Some days I want to step out of the race - to take my running legs off of the course and to watch other runners go by and win.
Me. I'll breathe and be. Sad to not be in the race, but so glad to be alive - yet wondering about my purpose, my task.
Can God use a theological mutt? Can a voice like mine be used, whose family is Lutheran and Baptist, who came to Christ at a Presbyterian church and was discipled and matured in the Disciples of Christ denomination and trained for ministry in higher education institution of the independent Christian Church while attending a Wesleyan congregation, and trained further in Bible and seminary education at a Calvinist church and institution?
God can use me. I walk with Him and watch Him. He is the only sure part of my life.
I wonder what others think, who have a background like mine. How are other theological mutts fitting into ministry? Moving to Texas brought more mental confusion than I would have ever entered into on my own. New ways of seeing God, new ways of thinking.
I listen to others and interact with Him. That's all I know how to do. It is a season of listening and wrestling and learning.

I don't know how your story will end, nor do I know what it entails, but I do know it's going to be a great tale to tell.
When you want to take your running shoes off replace them with sandals and keep walking. :)
PS when I've fallen down in definance in the middle of the race please come by and pull me up by my pony tail!
