Right out of the Gate

I guess its been a good 2 mnutes since I started this blog. I should try and make some sort of declaration as to why I would want to spend the time on here typing. Boredom comes to mind. But more than that, I have felt the desire to actually put some meat to the words of my thoughts.

The bulk of my writing so far has been a blog on MySpace, which is barely writing anything. To me, MySpace is sort of a "kiddie" pool for some one who might want to share their thoughts with the world. It is a safe environment. There are a group of your friends who will read what you post cause they are your friends. Also, it acts as a broadcast for the mundane things that go on through your life. There is little to no real depth to what is being discussed. So, in order to actually see if anything that I say is worth the time it takes to read it, I have ventured out.

However, that is the smallest of the reasons that I have placed this new blog on here. The more important one is to breach subjects that I felt confined from on MySpace or any other avenue that I have pursued with online writing. There are a bevy of thoughts that go through my head on a normal day. Most having to deal with questions of myself and my direction in this life. Almost all those questions have to do with what I feel or think God is leading me to. Thus, thats going to be the main focus of my writings on here. That is what I felt most was lacking in my MySpace blogs.

Well, that doesn't sound horribly serious now does it? Of course this blog will be a more serious approach to writing what I am thinking. It will be a chance to stretch out my own words and my own ideas. It will be an avenue where I want to be able to talk about how God is using me or is speaking to me through His word. Whether or not that will be accomplished is to be determined. But it will also be a place to vent the frustration that I have with myself on a normal basis.

Whether any or all of that sounds interesting to you doesn't matter as much as the chance that I feel that I can actually do that. So, that is my focus. That is my desire for this new blog. I named it "Freedom from Above" because we always think of God as being "above" us somewhere. When the word Heaven is mentioned, you automatically think of somewhere beyond the clouds. When you are deep into worship, you often lift your hands to God, above you. Thats the general concept behind the name. God's freedom is accepted here and His love will be talked about here. Thats my blog. Thats what I want to do. Come back and check it out if you want.
