Listen To My story-episode 17 (The Concluding Part)

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 and siblings.

He really didn't give me the details, but i knew he gave Pastor the 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, and 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 because i didn't have feelings for him, but because of the age

difference.

When i told mummy about it, her reply surprised me."Go and pray about it my dear. Whatever God asks you to do, do it..but about the issue of age difference, it has no meaning."

"But...Ma, even if God comes down to tell me to marry him, i don't think i can. How can i marry someone i'm 4yrs older than? He's just 21 and i'm 25."

She laughed and said "Is there anywhere it is written in the bible that husband must be older than his wife? The bible only says that wives should be submissive to their own husbands and as a result of that, we have programmed it in our minds that the only person we could be submissive to, must be someone older than us. For your information, I'm 3yrs older than my

husband. If i didn't tell you now, how would you know? Go and pray my dear and let God's will be done".

I prayed and didn't have any restriction in my spirit.

I told my Pastor about it and they prayed for us.

My parents also agreed with the union and 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 the 17th of January, named Oluwadarasimi (Meaning God is good to me). I decided to stay with the Williams until i had the 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 the manager of the company and we've been doing fine since.

We celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary last december and 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 the abortion. I would never recover from the 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 the wrath of God upon myself in a big way.

Looking at Darasimi, who is Bode's carbon copy, he has the gift of singing and playing instruments. He had been composing his

own songs since age 5, and there's no sentence he cant bring out a song from, just say it and 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 that and 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, there'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

As many that followed the story, really appreciate it and hope we have been truly blessed in one capacity or the other. If you are passing through a similar situation like Adesewa, don't give up because there is an eternal weight of glory ahead of you. To some others, someone is about to make an error or is already into it, he/she needs your help. If only you can be sensitive and willing, a life could be saved. Above all, Jesus is the only way to a living hope. Thanks and God bless you real good. Love u all...
