Bode came back from Lagos on Saturday. He passed two nights in our house. He was so surprised at how he was warmly received by my parents n siblings. He really didn’t give me d details, but i knew he gave Pastor d full gist. With time, my dad became a loving dad to Bode. They were always talking of each other. Bode’s 21st birthday met him in Lagos, n according to him, my family marked it for him in a little way, which he really appreciated.
He proposed to me, but i turned it down immediately. Not bcs i didn’t have feelings for him, but bcos of d age difference.
When i told mummy about it, her reply surprised me.” Go n pray about it my dear. Whatever God asks u to do, do it.. but
about d issue of age difference, it has no meaning. “But….Ma, even if God comes down to tell me to marry him, i dont think i can. How can i marry someone i’m 4yrs older than?.
He’s just 21 n i’m 25 She laughed n said “Is there anywhere it is written in d bible dt husband must be older than his wife?. D bible only says dt wives should be submissive to dir own husbands, n as a result of dt, we have programmed it in our minds dt d
only person we could be submissive to, must be someone older than us.
For ur information, i’m 3yrs older than my husband. If i didn’t tell u now, how would u know?.Go n pray my dear, n let God’s will be done”. I prayed n didn’t have any restriction in my spirit. I told my Pastor about it n they prayed for us.
My parents also agreed with d union n we got married at Ikeja Registry in december, after which we went for marriage blessings at my parents’ church. I had a bouncing baby boy on d 17th of January, named Oluwadarasimi (Meaning God is good to me).
I decided to stay with d Williams after i had d baby. When Bode graduated from school, my dad connected him with one of his friends who employed him in his company. With time, he became d manager of d company, n we’ve been doing fine since.
We celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary last december, n up till now, i’m still trusting God for another baby Sometimes in my thought, i would imagine what would have happened if i had aborted Darasimi’s pregnancy.
I would have thought i couldn’t have another child due to d abortion.
I would never recover from d guilt. Also, i would have remained barren up till now, not having any child at all.
I would have been a hindrance to Bode’s destiny.
Lastly, i would have attracted d wrath of God upon myself in a big way.
Looking at Darasimi, who is Bode’s carbon copy, he has d gift of singing n playing instruments.
He had been composing his own songs since age 5, dir’s no sentence he cant bring out a song from, just say it, n he would turn it to a song. And by now, he’s becoming a Guru in playing keyboard.
I have no doubt God will still bless me with more children, He had assured me of dt, n i know He would never fail.
My brethren, PLEASE let us learn from this story.
It doesn’t matter how tough what you are going through is, one day, an end shall come to it.
Even, if you have missed it in life, their’s still Somebody you can turn to, He Is The Way, The Truth and The Life.
He will surely show you the way out if you allow Him to lead you.
Never cover your sin with another sin.
If you do, you are only sitting on a time bomb, it will explode sooner than expected.
Remain Blessed! THE END!!…
