a very good place to start

So, this is the beginning, and, as Maria of The Sound of Music says, that's "a very good place to start."  My desire is to chronicle my journey as I strive to become altogether His.  That is...wholly, entirely and completely my Lord's daughter.  And while this is not the beginning of my spiritual journey (not by a long shot) it IS the beginning of me attempting to be more transparent about the lessons the Lord is teaching me, as well as how well or poorly I learn them.

From the first time I thought about starting a blog like this, I knew what the name would be.  And as I searched for just the right scripture to accompany the title, I came up short.  No single passage expressed all I wanted to convey.  So, I'll share a couple that are part of the whole picture. :)

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

1 Corinthians 10:31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Song of Solomon 4:7  You are altogether beautiful, my love;  there is no flaw in you.

I desire to glorify God as He prepares me for the good works He has in store for me so that I will be altogether beautiful in His eyes.  Lord, grant that I keep my eyes on this goal and not be distracted by the transient or urgent things of this life. Amen.

  1. How about this verse?
    2 Chronicles 16:9

    "For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is altogether His."
