Oh How He Loves Us!

">
I have had this song stuck in my head for about a month now. It has spoken to my heart on countless occasions during this month. It has been so good to just dwell on the simple but incredible truth of how deeply God loves me and to try and grasp that reality. Daily He shows up, in both little and small ways, declaring His love.

One HUGE example of this happened on Monday. I had a conversation with my boss about my ending date for work. Now, I have been very ready to be done working. Not that work has been horrible in any way or form, but I could just sense that it was time. natural transition as I prepare to start my own family. SO, we have this conversation where she lets me know that the new nanny taking over my position needs to start a little earlier so instead of me having 6 weeks left of work, I now have 3 ( one of which will be spent training the new gal). I was just shocked and a little overwhelemed. Questions started running through my mind such as: what will we do with 3 weeks less pay? what will I do with all my time waiting? etc. But I assure her that we will be fine (they offered to pay me through the end of April) and that that should work out fine. Evidently I didn't hide the shock on my face very well, because she called later in the day to let me know she wanted to talk about it that evening. I thought this would be a good chance for me to tell her that I wasn't upset or mad just a little surprised about the change in events.
To make a long story very very short, we talked and I am still leaving work the 3rd week of April but they are paying me through the middle of May! I was in complete shock. I felt/feel so loved and blessed by both my employers and by God. God knew our financial needs and provided in the most unexpected (and quick)way. He knew my physical/emotional needs and has provided above and beyond what I expected. He could have chosen another way to provide for us but for some reason decided to do it this way. Even if we had to go without the pay, He would have sustained us. It wouldn't mean that He loves us any less. His love is perfect and unchanging.
I am so grateful for how He loves me. I am not an eloquent writer by any stretch of the imagination so thank you for bearing with me, but I just felt compelled to write this. I hope that wherever you are, whatever you are doing today that you will know and feel the intense love of God today.
If His grace is an ocean, we are all sinking.
