Hawks and Godwinks

(Hawk from and that is native to the Galapagos. Not from this past week) 

 

I want to share a story with you and something that happened to me.

Earlier during the week, I posted a note saying I wanted a Godwink from God.

Godwink, I first heard of it when I watched a Christmas movie called A Godwink Christmas.

Well, on Wednesday, on my way to eat lunch with 4 other people from my church, including my mom, I saw a Hawk on our way, which was an hour away.

After lunch, when we got back to my city, I saw another one. Okay, so that's not just the end of the story.

I decided to look up the Christian meaning of "Hawks". While the overall description was good, when I looked at it, I saw that Hawks are literally known as Godwinks. So not only did I get one wink, I got two.

I find it so funny how God literally did this. Hawks mean so many things symbolically, but I know I need to dive deeper to see what God is trying to show me or tell me. But I think I got the hawks for 2 reasons.

One thing I have been missing is my animal friends. I don't see much wildlife where I live, mostly squirrels, robins, crows, and the occasional rabbit, so I think he used his Hawks for one reason. The other was that I wanted a Godwink, and God literally gave me that something people know in society as a Godwink. Maybe I need to be more specific, but I got what I asked for. Not just once but twice.

I need to ask God now what He wants to tell me through this. And see what surfaces.  I think Hawks represent a too-high perspective, as they are excellent hunters, so maybe this is a call for me to look higher and gain a different perspective.
