What I’m doing to start out 2023 the BEST possible way: #1 I am prioritizing rest & restfulness. By this I mean focusing on what it means to seriously rest.

Mainly because I really do LOVE what I do with my business which is working with clients on their social media and marketing. I truly love it. But just because you love something doesn’t mean you...

Anybody struggle to try so hard to control every part of their own story? I know I have. It feels easier to try and control the narrative than allowing God to do what he says he will do. Giving up control of your life takes faith. It doesn't mean we don't continue to work & pursue what God has put on our hearts to do. It just means we walk in obedient faith instead of in self-reliance. We CHOOSE to trust that God who knows the beginning, middle and end knows BEST for us. Follow Tessah: @shej...
