Project 35 minus One

My Project 35 minus One just started on Monday. I am now 34 years old. Like I have had said before I know I am not the man that God has called me to be. There are several reasons for this but it is mostly because I am always coming up with excuses on why I am not that man. To be honest I guess I am a sheep. I have been waiting for other people in my life to step up and become great leaders for God so I can than follow them. The funny thing is I have been watching these people and have become critical because they have not lived up to their own potential. And it has bothered me significantly because they haven't lived up to that potential. I have been waiting for them to become great men or women for God and then for them to motivate me or to led me to be the same.

On Monday morning while I was running I was thinking about this. I was thinking about how I have been waiting for years for these people to step up and become great leaders. Why have I been waiting for them to become "today's David"? As I was running I started to think that maybe I am the one who is suppose to lead them to become closer to God. Maybe I am the one who is going to lead them to stop clinching so tightly to the world. I am the one who is called to be "today's David". I think I have known this for some time but I haven't acted upon it.

I am handing my life over to the Holy Spirit to transform into this man. I know it is going to be hard but I think that once I myself have stopped clinging to the world I will find that living fully devoted to God will be much more fulfilling.

The Crashing Giants blog will be my journey into becoming the man God has called me to be. I will try to blog every Wednesday on my latest journey. Each week I will read at least 1 book in the Bible and I will let you know about any verses that have really jumped out at me. I will also let you know what the Holy Spirit has been saying to me lately.

I hope to see you here next Wednesday.

Heavenly Father, help me become the man you want me to be. Lord allow me to always put your interests and goals in front of my own selfish needs. Allow me to become a great spiritual leader in my house. To become a husband that is always thinking about his wife's needs instead of own. A father that is always there for his children and a father that is teaching his children about you. Bless me in everything I do Lord and continue to shower me with your love. Amen.
