Amazing Purpose

Long time. Haven’t written much….not that there has not been anything going on….I just have the attention span of a mosquito lately. No joke.

Some drama last week led to a peaceful time off. It confirmed more that I need to be a woman who responds in absolute trust, faith, hope, peace and contentment in the control and sovereignty of my God.

Saw some neat animals – giraffes, elephants, gazelles, antelopes, water buffalos, hippos…..amazing. I kept on thinking “I HAVE to be in the zoo!” But I wasn’t. I was in their home. Amazing. Just purely amazing. To think that God placed these animals here with no cages and such, really made me realize His creation is so amazing. Ok, saying amazing a lot….but it is. To make eye contact with giraffe and watch him walk away….to see an elephant stop traffic to cross the street…to see warthogs watching over their babies….to see a water buffalo get up from the water to see us passing him…to a hippo eating food and not caring that we were 50 feet away….amazing. I was intruding in their home. I was where they were created to live. Majestic. I am still in awe that I was able to experience it all.

I’ve been hungry a lot for two reasons:

1.) I believe I have worms…taking deworming medicine now….pray that works.

2.) I want something more.

I know you are probably thinking, “Sliwinski, you said that before and thought Ug was it – what is going on?!” Well, I am still hungry…

Hungry to get even closer to God….to be more in His will…to share His love…to change lives for Him….

I am so hungry for more…more of Him.

A few weeks ago I blogged about how I had vision during worship at service while the song “Everlasting God” was being played. I saw myself on top with Jesus looking down on a river with mountains in the background…referenced to the Jordan River. However, being in Murchison Falls National Park….I saw it with my eyes open.
I am trying to process it. I’ve had visions of places and then saw the reality of it later on…Tegot was one. And it made sense when I pieced it together. But now, I saw this and then SAW it. Can’t pick why God shared this with me and its purpose….maybe just to be in a place of awe, humbling praising His name…realizing how Majestic He really is….not sure….don’t have absolute peace on this….I feel like it is something I need to seek more…

So that is the hunger.

But then I read a book Brooke lent me (that I finished in one day, thankyouverymuch) and the end of the book talked about how we should always feel like there is more out there…until we are face to face with Him we should always hunger…want more…of Him.

I like that. I will live that.

Ever wonder why lower case “L” and capital “i” look EXACTLY the same? Look: l I oh, maybe not….one is smaller…but still you can’t tell unless they are next together…
