EPISODE 1
This is the story of a Nigerian Woman, who believes her story will inspire and encourage someone. My name is Adeleke Jasmine Tioluwanimi. My friends calls me Jas for short and Jasmine is my favorite name too, Jasmine means a plant with flowers with a very pleasant and sweet smell. The name was given by my mum who is a Canadian. My dad went for a conference in Canada and that was where he met my mum, it was love at first sight they said. Well many people say love at first sight doesn't exist, some say it is merely lust, but living with my parent for over 20years made me realise that love whether at first sight or at last sight will work out once God is involved. And it is certain without doubt that God was involved in their relationship. Opposition came from all angles when they were courting. My dad's parent wouldn't acknowledge a white woman as there daughter-in-law, their reasons was that she doesn't understand their culture and she will steal their son away. My mums parent were not too bothered anyways , they were open minded. But my mums friend at that time filled her head up with different ideas, they assumed my dad was only interested in her because she was a foreigner and he probably needed a green card. All this opposition didn't stop their love from growing stronger.
Don't let me bore you with their love story, am here to share my own story, a story filled with happiness, pain ,regrets,bitterness forgiveness and then love.
I am the 2nd born and the only daughter out of 3 children. Growing up was easy for me and my siblings, we never lacked anything, my Dad was upto the task and he always finds time to be with his family, he is an ideal husband and father. My parent taught us the way of Lord right from when we were young, we never miss bible study, retreats and youth camps. It was on one of those youth camp that I gave my life to Christ. It was an intriguing experience, I can never forget that day,12th September 2003.
I kept walking in the faith and I vowed never to be involved in premarital sex until I get married, infact kissing was considered a sin by me. But then the unexpected happened...
