Why do you want it? The role of perspective in receiving.

Recently, I had a desire that I believe God put in my heart and I just couldn't wait to have it. Trust it to be number one thought on my mind, top discussion topic with my friends and most important on my prayer list. I'll just keep rambling and hoping and crying and everything. Fam it was a big mess and I just didn't understand why God will whet my appetite and then leave me hanging. 



Many times I realize that when I'm praying I get this question on my mind. Why do you want it? My answer is simple. You told me I'll have it. Nothing is more noble than wanting what God wants right? 🀭Then I back it up with the  best word....... "Your will not my will, I trust you Lord". I was actually just saying the "password" so he will give me already. 
It's true it is what God wants for me. It is true I trust him. This particular desire however, if God wasn't involved it could have easily topped my prayer list. I hope you're following me, let me explain. 
Imagine you really want a car for whatever reasons and then you're like God I trust you and I will not idolize this my want. So you remove your mind from it and focus on living as the lord leads you. Then boomπŸ’₯ he says it's time for you to get the car. You get all excited. You cannot believe he is actually giving you something you really want too. In an instant it takes up your whole mind. Your focus is now more on the car than on God. Everyday you pray for it, speak it forth and all. Then God asks you, why do you want a car? 
I'm sure you get it now. Like excuse me darling daddy, you told your girl she will have the car and then you ask why I want it? Because you said it nah...,.. I'm tired of typing. Listen to the rest here on my Podcast. 


So tell me, why do you want it?

Anyways, I'm not exactly proud of how I didn't put up anything since 13/01. I'm like Timi, for real ?πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’.  Please accept my genuine apology. ✋✋✋✋πŸ‘ŠπŸ‘ŠπŸ‘Š just because we've made up😎😎 Alright I'll stop with the emojisπŸ˜‰ , its gonna be hard thoughπŸ˜₯ The end of the year just gets me thinking about my life and hence, my return.  For good!

It's 2021! He came through πŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒ

It's been about 3 years since I last published a post here, well apart from the one I published a few minutes ago πŸ˜‚ "No strings attached". I found it in my drafts this morning, I read it and wondered why I didn't publish it so I pressed the button.  Anyways, welcome to 2021!  As we approach the second half of the year, I had a strong desire to write here again and then discuss on my Podcast. Yes I have a podcast and it's called "TruthwithTimi". Do well to check it out  here ..... The thought that however  brought me here this cold Saturday morning  is how intentional God is about us. We simply  just need to look to find him. Let me explain with a recent experience.  This week was a very overwhelming one for me. For some reasons I kept getting anxious about a number of things and it always ends with me overthinking. It got so bad one night and I felt like running away. (Don't ask me where because I have no idea myself πŸ˜‚.)  I  knew from the b...

The Lover

I finally let go and received this love that has been beckoning to me for so long. The thing is I have always been a romantic and I love gifts, acts of service, and quality time. Just surprise me and then be around. I have also been looking to God for my man who is going to show me all this romance while I do the same. I believe I'm not the selfish kind honestly (especially when it comes to love, I'm ready to give even more than I receive). I decided that I should just keep giving in every way I can so that the man will notice and be ready to give also. I started giving so I can receive and this drained me because  I wasn't receiving like I wanted to (the issue here is giving so I can be noticed and be given back. Imagine! πŸ˜’) But, you know how God is right? Perfect and amazing. He had been giving but I had been too fixed on how I wanted to receive that I did not acknowledge his love and romance.  I finally had a wake-up call yesterday. God has been right by my ...
