Okay! So this is going to be interesting. But
90% of you know I believe in God, so when asked, "what is your spirit
animal?" From a tribal culture, I wasn't really sure what to say, thank
God I was last.
MY RESPONSE: "A Polar Bear!"
I did not know why at the time I said this, but
it was the first thing that came to my head, to be honest.
So tonight I finally looked it up...
This is what it said (Summary):
Polar Bear mimics human motion, ferries souls
to the other side of death, they are an example of transformation/being
renewed. The bear spirit is tremendously powerful, and replete with themes of
transformation, camouflage (being part of the background and coming out of it
in style [power]), and patience. They know how to be still, and have a great
connection with children. Another aspect is that they have strength to move
through harsh circumstances. We are Self-sufficient and reliant.
**Personal thoughts: I would have to agree.
1. Half the time I honestly believe I can mimic
people's emotions when I am aware of my surroundings, and I can relate to
people easily.
2. I love the idea of transformation and being
renewed. As Christians we are expected to go through this transforming process,
to be renewed and filled with the spirit.
3. I don't always like the power I have been
given, and ask for it to be taken. I think though it is a sword, painful when
used, shaped to perfection creates clean cuts when used correctly.
4. Patience....well I think I could always use
more of this... This is one thing I think we could all use more of.
5. I know how to relax and dwell on God...
"Be still and Know I am God" - Psalms 46:10 **The biggest problem is
I do not always use it, I dwell on my friends and cannot focus on the basic
needs surrounding my life.
6. Connecting with children: Tonight 2/20/15 a
child no more than two kept staring at me in a restaurant. I finally made a
funny face and he just laughed, and his mom was so confused. It was awesome! ^^
7. Harsh Circumstances- Life is sometimes a
pill, you think you are succeeding but in reality your possibly taking 11 steps
forward after 10 backwards.
8. Self
Sufficient- I try to be. Maybe even to a fault. I don't like accepting help for
things and I don't like being portrayed as weak... Maybe its pride and maybe
its how I think.
9. Reliant- everyone has requests, 90% of the
time I believe they have been completed. People rely on me to be something, and
others... well they see me in relying on them.
"Take my burden upon you, so you can learn
from me and find rest with in your souls, my yoke is easy and burden is
light"- Matthew 11:29

Skill, Magic, Power, Wisdom, Strength,
Strategy, Cunning, Survival, Initiation, Isolation, Transition, Extremes,
Humanity, Vigilance, Endurance, Playfulness, Compassion, Adaptability,

I think this fits right now in my life... I am
a giant, polar bear, that could be a little muddy, but with a clean coat, white
as the snow.
