as sung by Kari Jobe

The more I seek you…the more I find you

The more I find you…the more I love you

I want to sit at your feet, drink from the cup in your hand

Lay back against you and breathe, feel your heartbeat

This love is so deep…it’s more than I can stand

I melt in your peace, it’s overwhelming…

As I sat outside on our back bedroom deck this morning, throwing tennis balls to Daisy Dog, , the coolness of the morning falling on my thick houserobe, the word of the Lord from reading the night before so late continued to wash over me like the dew with my first morning thoughts:

“Clothe yourself in Christ”. “You are a new creation, old things have passed away, behold, all things become new”. “Rejoice in the Lord always.” “Put on the full armor of Christ…and you will stand, for he is able to make you to stand.” “Let the word of Christ dwell richly within you.” “Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path, I will hide it’s word in my heart, that I may not sin against you.” “I will drink of your river of delights” “Clothe yourself…in Christ”.

Oh! How I want to clothe myself with Christ today. To “put Him on”. More than my desire to dress for the day. More than my desire to eat, or sleep or “do”. Let me put on Christ. Let me give his patient grace and understanding. Take away my judgment and criticism and harshness. Give me your love. Give me your eyes of compassion and healing and grace and acceptance and beauty.

For I am refreshed, renewed, held together, cleared up, soothed, entertained, awed, enriched, loved by you this morning! Thank you, Lord, for the intensive reading of your word. Thank you for the time. Thank you for drawing me near and filling me.

You amaze me! Astound me! Overjoy me. I totally adore you. How mesmerizing you are! Keep filling me with your word. It is changing me.

I was searching for a piece of music that my ballet advance team from my church could dance to and inspire all to want more of Him! My daughter gave me 16 songs to listen to and this one embraced me and moved me to sit in my secret place and worship Christ Jesus, my Savior and King! Thank you for the blessing!!!

ME: “MAGGIE”

Sifting the joy from the mundane:

recording, photographing, learning, creating.

I am married to the love of my life, as we raise three children, learning the ways of grace.

Magnanimity (derived from the Latin roots magn- great, and anima, soul) is the virtue of being great of mind and heart. It encompasses, usually, a refusal to be petty, a willingness to face danger, and actions for noble purposes. Its antithesis is pusillanimity. Both terms were coined by Aristotle, who called magnanimity "the crowning virtue."

Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary of the American Language defines Magnanimity as such:

MAGNANIM'ITY, n. [L. magnanimitas; magnus, great, and animus, mind.] Greatness of mind; that elevation or dignity of soul, which encounters danger and trouble with tranquillity and firmness, which raises the possessor above revenge, and makes him delight in acts of benevolence, which makes him disdain injustice and meanness, and prompts him to sacrifice personal ease, interest and safety for the accomplishment of useful and noble objects.[1] (Source: Wikipedia)
