My dad was reading in a devotional book the other day that talked about how when we come to Christ, we are supposed to 'leave all our ambitions, and follow Him.' That has really been bothering me lately. I have always given myself a hard time about my running, I keep myself from doing it alot, coming up with wierd arguments to keep myself out of it, to keep myself unmotivated. I don't know why, its just that every time I start to have some level of success in cross country, I feel 'this shouldn't be this easy, and I start to doubt myself. "do I really deserve to be good at running?" "if so, then why?" "Why bother with a sport, all I could possibly be going for is personal glory." and then, of course I start doubting whether or not i'm even a christian, and I get all mixed up. Basically, I'm trying to settle this whole thing in my mind. I really want to run, and run to win, and so does my family, I just don't know how to get past my mind games. So, can I keep my ambitions?
