B & T

On October 15th, 2023, when I was least expecting it, God gave me His greatest Blessing. From the first moment I saw her profile, I knew there was something special about her. The first thing I said was this looks like A WIFE. And after the first conversation, I knew I would need to do everything possible to make her MY WIFE. As God would have it, she reached out to me, the same night. She was so warm and welcoming, such a bright light. Immediately, she was someone I could speak to so easily. The questions she asked me were so deep and thoughtful. So Kingdom oriented, and bold. She asked me detailed questions about my walk with God, and I answered as truthfully as I could about where I was and where I wanted to be. She gave me her answer and I was blown away by her honesty and vulnerability. We exchanged numbers, and I asked if I could call her. Best decision I have ever made. Her voice? Soft, sweet, warm, welcoming . The conversation, effortless. The laughs, immediate. Her words, soothing. He story, beautiful. I would always hear , "When you know you know" from people. But at that moment I truly felt like I knew. In the middle of the work day, without even meeting her in person, I called my mom and told her "I think I found a good thing." She immediately understood the message and called my dad to prayer. Little did I know the prayers that were already being poured out on our behalf. She was an answer to prayers I wasn't even praying for myself at the time. I knew I had to see her before the end of the week. I proposed this and even before we had the date, she planned our second date (a church date the day after). Saturday, October 21st, 2023, I met Blessing Olufunmi Motunrayo Olowogbade, and the trajectory of my life changed for the better. Our first date went better than I could have imagined, and I have not looked back. From the day we met, she has been a good thing, a great thing, and even the best thing God created, just for me. And from that day forward, the favor I have received from God has beat my imagination every step of the way. I can't wait to see how His favor continues to impact every facet of our lives, in life and in eternity.

Timothy and I met via the beautiful development of social media, with me initiating conversation. From our very first conversation I knew he was different, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. I wasted no time asking him about his relationship God, and his answer was literally everything I wrote down in my “special list” of wants in my husband, that many tears and plenty prayers have been poured over. Our initial conversation absolutely set the tone and pace for our relationship. Here is a direct quote from us a few hours into the conversation Timothy: “If we locked in” Me: Ain’t no switching up” And we’ve indeed been locked in ever since. Delulu or TrueTrue? Our first date was one for the books. I remember being so nervous that I couldn’t even look him in the eye when he showed up at my door with flowers. He tried to get me to sing on the way to dinner and if you know me I love to sing but I could only mutter a few lines in the faintest voice. After dinner in the car before our next date for the night, he presented me with a gift and a handwritten card (Iykyk). I absolutely cried, and all the guards I had up instantly fell (@ everyone who told him he was doing too much for the first date I’m glad he didn’t listen to yall). Soon after this exchange, I found the familiar peace in the presence of the man who captured my heart on the phone. It was evident to everyone around us. Leaving the second outing of our first date, a woman told Timothy “Your girlfriend, or wife, or whatever y'all are, are amazing together." She even told me that I was "lucky”. On the way home, I noticed mommy (Timothy’s Mom) texted him asking how the date was and I couldn’t help but laugh because he’s “Omo Mommy” for real. I later realized because Timothy believed he found a good thing it only made sense to involve his parents from the beginning so they could pray over us and alongside us. A few days later, I asked him what he told his mom about our first date and he said he told her “I found a good thing” and the rest is history. HE WHO FINDS A WIFE FINDS A WHAT?! And the congregation echos “A GOOD THING!!” I can’t wait to spend this life on earth and eternity in heaven with him!
