Direction

I have struggled with direction for this blog almost since its inception.  Originally it was called “The Deep Stuff”, because most people know me as a really fun and outgoing person and are later surprised to learn that I think very deeply and passionately about my faith and relationship with Christ.  Not because I am running around like a heathen, but because I am loud and outgoing people assume that I don’t spend anytime digging deep with introspection in my own life.

I then got my own website www.austinklee.com and branched out into a lot of different areas, none of which are really fit together well and I think I have just ended up confusing my very small, but loyal, audience.  The bottom line truth is that I wanted to get away from my real-life devotional and spiritual development posts.  I thought that I needed to do that kind of stuff on my own in the privacy of my home office and let the blog be more of a fun place.

Then I read a post from Margaret Feinberg about how she and her husband struggled with connecting during their joint devotional time.  The post talks about how they found something that works for them.  It reminded me that God created all of us differently.  There is no boiler plate solution for drawing close to God; alone or with your spouse.  God created me to communicate and work out my salvation in front of God and everyone. (Pun most definitely intended.)

So, the blog now has direction.  And I will be living in harmony with God the way he intended I should.

I would encourage those of you on Facebook to please leave your comments on the blog itself.  I have installed a very user friendly commenting system and it would be fun to build a little community on my blog and see all the comments in one place.
