POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I’ve been reflecting a lot on this day lately…

Looking back at these photos reminds me of the overwhelming love and grace of Jesus.

My baptism wasn’t about having everything figured out- it was about publicly declaring the One who had already transformed my heart.

It was one of the most joyful and intimate moments I’ve ever shared with Him.

I’m so thankful for my family, church family, and friends who stood beside me that day.

More than anything, though, I’m thankful for a Savior who patiently pursued me, met me with endless love, and continues to change my life every single day.

My prayer has always been Matthew 5:16—that His light would shine through me so that others may see Him and give glory to our Father in heaven.

If sharing even a small piece of my story points one person toward Jesus, then all glory belongs to Him. 🤍

Big thank you to @santitorophoto for capturing this day so beautifully! by @mateyahdarlene

Hi friends!! Its me - Mateyah.

For as long as I can remember, I've loved creating meaningful experiences for the people around me. Whether it's planning a birthday celebration, designing invitations, coordinating decorations, or bringing a vision to life, I find so much joy in creating moments that make people feel special.

Over the years, I've planned family celebrations, coordinated venues, hosted themed gatherings, created custom invitations, and transformed spaces for birthdays, bridal events, and special occasions. What started as a passion for celebrating loved ones has grown into something I want to share with others.

That's why I am creating Gathered by Teyah.

My goal is simple: to help create gatherings that feel beautiful, intentional, and memorable while taking some of the stress off your plate.

Whether you're planning a birthday party, bridal shower, baby shower, or another special celebration, I'd love to help bring your vision to life.

Thank you for being here and following along on this journey. 🤍

✨ Thoughtfully planned. Beautifully celebrated.

Please read if you are able to -

This post does not even scratch the surface of the micro aggressions that I have encountered lately even outside of this show.

As a mixed girl I have unfortunately often felt misplaced and rejected in society - especially in Whatcom and Skagit county and this is a big issue I know others feel.

I am proud of who I am and who my amazing parents have raised me and my brothers to be. I will continue to lift my head high in confidence with who I am as a child of God and will not change that to conform to society standards and who they want me to be. I am truly heartbroken and I encourage my community to take the time to reflect on their actions.

I pray for all hearts to be opened and for healing for my brothers and sisters that have been affected in this situation and outside of it.

My DM’s are open for the next 24 hours but afterwards I will be taking some time for my self for a while.

I truly love each and every one of you and thank you for your understanding🤍

I hope someday I can continue to share my art in a space where I feel welcome and accepted. by @mateyahdarlene

If there’s one thing I hope people always know about me, it’s that I never want to pretend I have everything figured out.

I share these parts of my life because I know I’m not the only one who feels them. Maybe you’ve cried yourself to sleep wondering why love seems to come so easily to everyone else. Maybe you’ve questioned your worth because another relationship didn’t work out, another talking stage ended, or someone made you feel like you weren’t enough.

For the last couple of months, I’ve honestly been in a pretty deep slump.

I’ve spent nights crying, replaying conversations, wondering what I could’ve done differently, and carrying this ache of wanting to be chosen. I’ve always been a hopeless romantic. I dream of being a wife, a mom, and building a home rooted in love and in Christ.

But somewhere along the way, I started believing that because those things haven’t happened yet, I must somehow be falling behind.

Today, while I was in the middle of another spiral, I found myself scrolling through my camera roll.

Picture after picture.

Laughing until we couldn’t breathe. Coffee dates. Church. Worship. Birthday dinners. Little moments that didn’t seem extraordinary at the time, but became reminders of a love I had completely overlooked.

And I thought…

How did I convince myself I wasn’t loved?

Because the truth is… I am.

I have friends who check in on me, pray over me, celebrate my wins, sit with me in my grief, and love me exactly as I am.

I’ve spent months chasing the feeling of being chosen romantically while missing the fact that I have been chosen over and over again by the incredible women God has placed in my life.

To my people — thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus in one of the hardest seasons of my life.

Thank you for reminding me who I am when I forget. Thank you for loving me without making me earn a seat at your table.

I still pray for romantic love. I still hope for the family I’ve dreamed of.

But while I’m waiting, I refuse to miss the miracles already sitting around my table.

Love has been here all along.

It just didn’t look the way I expected it to.

Thank you, Jesus, for gently opening my eyes again. by @mateyahdarlene
