Obsession

Road Trip

 
I have been ~ can you guess? ~ starts with snow ~ you got it! ~ skiing :-)

obsession ~ a compulsion, often unreasonable, idea or emotion, causing an intense preoccupation


I wouldn't call my life long love affair with skiing an obsession.  I don't run out and buy the latest gear every year, although I do have nice stuff.  I don't jump in the car at the slightest hint of new snow, although I do get antsy at the thought of fresh powder.  I don't even live in snow country any more, although I'm not far from it.

No, I don't think I'm obsessed.  I just learned to ski at a young age and have been doing it my entire life.  It's a part of me; it is one of the things that defines me.

No, I'm not obsessed by skiing.  What, or I should say who I want to be obsessed with is Christ.   Not in a crazy-person-kind-of-way where I do wacky things and blame it on voices.  I want to be obsessed in the kind of way that I live with Him as my role model, in how I love and in how I navigate this world.
