Talking with Tess

Scripture tells us that God never leaves us, but what happens when he feels far? What do we do in seasons where God feels silent or seasons where we question a God at all? Dealing with OCD and chronic anxiety has taken over my brain and caused immense suffering. When God feels silent, we must remember that he has a greater plan.

Always remember, everybody is a somebody!❤️

Social anxiety, chronic self doubt, and fear are extremely prevalent in our world today. People are plagued by lies they have believed for years about themselves, others, and the world. There is another way: freedom in Christ. The enemies grip loosens once we start taking action to the contrary: doing the hard things even when anxiety is raging.

God is rooting for you and so am I!

Always remember, everybody is a somebody!❤️

Remember, everybody is a somebody!!! ❤️

You are worthy because God says that you are worthy and outsourcing your worth to other people (aka living for the approval of other people) will lead you further away from God and further away from the freedom that God offers. The Lord has set us free so that we can glorify him with the gifts he has given us. Don't allow your worth to constantly fluctuate based upon the perceived opinions of others!

Happy Decemeber!!!

Remember everybody is a somebody!!

In a world full of misconceptions and assumptions, I break down the disorder I have lived with for the past 3 years of my life: bipolar disorder.

What is it like to live with bipolar disorder and how do the extreme changes in mood (mania-depression) affect my life in various different ways?

What is mania truly and how does mania affect those who struggle with bipolar disorder? Do all people with bipolar disorder get depressed?

Love you all!!! Remember everybody is a somebody!!

What even is ambivalence? Ambivalence is the allowing and holding space for two contradicting statements to be true at once. As a former black and white thinker and someone who loved to try to get to the bottom of things, ambivalence was foreign and near impossible for me until I realized its necessity. Life is nuanced and people are contradictory and ambivalence is freedom from trying to hold onto and control your life. Let go and Let God!

Fight back against the lies of self-doubt and shame by replacing them with the truth of who God says you are. Don't team up with the enemy who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. You are the apple of God's eye. Fight back to the negative voice in your head.

Remember, everybody is a somebody!!🤍

Fear of failure. Fear of success. Fear of others opinions. Fear of being judged. Fear holds you back in every facet of life. Do not be afraid.

Remember everybody is a somebody!!!

You never know the impact you make on someone else: whether big or small. We are constantly surrounded by people and we can impact others in a positive way. Just as strangers, friends, and relationships have impacted us, we can make a diligent effort to impact others people’s lives in a positive way.

Remember everybody is a somebody!

The healing journey isn’t always easy or isn’t always on the up and up. Healing is hard. Radical acceptance, letting yourself be seen, and giving yourself grace are the secret weapons of healing. Be kind to yourself, you deserve it!!!

Remember everybody is a somebody!

Love ya❤️
