Growing up I remember our house always decorated with wolves. My mom loves them, so I naturally associate wolves with the beauty that she carries. When my mom walks, she walks silently with confidence and she walks with power. And when it’s time to protect her pack, she does whatever it takes, very much like I envision a wolf to do.
As I got older I found myself also falling in love with wolves, with the look and beauty they embody, but for my own reasons.
Whenever asked, I would claim a wolf as my spirit animal..mainly because they remind me of my mom and the hope that I will someday be half the woman she is, but also because of the many many things they actually embody.
Living in a house full of girls can be hard, but my mom is the kind of lady that has always encouraged us to love every part of ourselves…even all the quirks that come with us. As most of you know, I found out about a year ago that I had hearing loss. While it may be a myth, there is a theory that blue-eyed wolves also have hearing loss. I couldn’t help but laugh because of the constant steadiness they seemed to have in my life.
Adding this to what a wolf means for me, I was already in love. So I was just messing around on google when I came across what the spirit animal of a wolf carries:
Deep connection & expression with instincts.
Okay. Now I’m actually laughing.
This entire race I have been learning the gifts I carry and stepping into what they are. The main spiritual gift the Lord has given me during the course of the last year or so has been the gift of discernment. I don’t know about you, but I fully believe that if you are in deep relationship with the Lord then that instinct becomes discernment from the Lord Himself.
I knew that the Lord had placed a wolf in my life from a very young age and is now something I’ll walk with forever.
Today I took a step forward in my tattoo journey!
