SISTER ADESEWA’S TALE – FINAL 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 dont think i can. How can i marry someone i’m 4yrs older than? He’s just 21 and i’m 25.”
She laughed n 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 (your dad) . If i didn’t tell you now, how would u know?
Go and pray my dear and let God’s will be done”.
I prayed and I didnt 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 d 17th of January, named Oluwadarasimi (Meaning: God is good to me). I decided to
stay with the Williams until i had d BABY…..
THE END….
