What love is this

"You never change
You are the God you say you are
When I'm afraid
You calm and still my beating heart
You stay the same, when hope is just a distant thought
You take my pain
And you lead me to the cross

What love is this, that You gave your life for me
And made a way for me to know You
And I confess You're always enough for me
You're all I need

I look to you
I see the scars upon Your hands
And hold the truth
That when I can't You always can
I'm standing here beneath the shadow of the cross
I'm overwhelmed that I keep finding open arms

What love is this that You gave your life for me
And made a way for me to know You
And I confess, You're always enough for me
You're all I need

Jesus in your suffering you were reaching you thought of me
Jesus in your suffering you were reaching you thought of me

What love is this, that You gave your life for me
And made a way for me to know You
And I confess, You're always enough for me
You're all I need"

-"What Love is This" by Kari Jobe

I post the lyrics to this song because it details my wonder of the extent of God's love. It's mind blowing. Exhilarating. Forgiving. Deep. Gentle. Real.

I was skeptical about my new job. Skeptical because I had no idea what to expect. I wondered my first day about how I was going to be treated, would I be accepted, or deemed unworthy? Two and a half weeks in...and I am floored at how amazing God's love is. I can't even detail how exciting, nurturing and right it has been. I work with 3 breast surgeons, all of which have been named top doctors in the Washington area. The director of the center is world-renowned, extremely well-trained and I get to share an office with her! Did I mention she has been advocating for me even before I showed up? People have come up to me and said "So you're the one Dr. Teal has been talking non-stop about". It makes such a difference to be finally accepted for who I am and all I have to bring. To be exactly where God wants me.

So yes, what love is this? It's only when I accepted that God was enough...enough for wherever He's taking me, that I've been able to bask in His goodness. And this is only the beginning. 

Thank you, Abba, for answering prayers, but most importantly for answering the prayers I didn't how to pray for.
