Why Wholehearted Radiance?

wholehearted radiance.

hmmm... kind of a mouthful. And, kind of a long blog name and {soon to be} domain name.

So, why did I pick this as the name for my blog you ask?

When I decided that I wanted to have a blog about my life and the countless decisions I have to make within it, I was trying to think of what guides me in making those decisions. And that was easy; it's God. But, do I always follow the directions that God gives?


No. BUT, I want to try to. I want to try more than I ever have. That's when the word wholehearted came into mind. I want to put my whole heart into each decision I make and I want 100% of it to be from God. I want to be wholeheartedly following God each and every day.

Plus, I don't want to grudgingly make these decisions. I want to gleefully make these decisions. I want people to know that I am joyfully following God.  That I am happily letting Jesus lead me through my life. I don't want to look back and wonder what happened. I want to look back in life and know that I faithfully fulfilled my purpose.

In Matthew, chapter 5 Jesus talks about letting your life shine.

¹⁴ “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵ Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

I want my life to shine God's glory. I want my life to be full of radiance. I want the decisions I make to show the radiance of God and his goodness.

I want my heart to SHINE, so that my life will SHINE.

So, a name for a blog about that?

Wholehearted Radiance!
