I first met Joseph in Tarkwa. Prophet Gideon of True Faith, whom I call my father, invited me to a church programme, and Joseph, a prophet there and a friend of his, became my friend too. I called him uncle.
I had spoken to Joseph's mother before I ever met her. One day I called Joseph to say hi, and a lady picked up. I was sure she was his girlfriend, but I spoke to her politely and we had a warm chat. After the call I told Joseph about it and asked him to apologise to his girlfriend on my behalf and reassure her that we were just friends. He burst out laughing. The lady was his mother.
Later I came to Accra and called him to say I was around. “We should meet up,” he said, and that is how I met her in person. We bonded easily, and she liked me.
On my way back from Accra she called and asked if I had a boyfriend. She told me she wanted me to marry her son. She kept encouraging him, and in time he spoke to me about us. We decided to try.
I told Ma Bridget, my mother in the Lord, and she asked us to pray about it. We did, and she accepted him and liked him too. So did I.
In July I went to Accra again and we met. On our way out, he suddenly went down on his knees. I thought we were about to pray, so I started kneeling too, and then he asked me to marry him. I said yes.
This is how far the Lord has brought us.
