Me after my mom says yes to something I thought sh

2025/10/14 Edited to

... Read moreOh my gosh, you know that feeling, right? That absolute rush of pure, unadulterated joy when your mom says 'YES' to something you were convinced would be a hard 'NO.' It’s like hitting the jackpot, but instead of money, you get that sweet, sweet approval for something you truly wanted. There's nothing quite like the disbelief and excitement that washes over you when your mom says yes to something you thought she would say no to. I remember vividly asking my mom if I could get a new gaming console, something I’d been dreaming about for months. Based on past experiences, I was fully prepared for the standard 'We'll see,' or even the outright 'No, not right now.' My heart was pounding as I built up the courage to ask, expecting the worst. But then, to my utter astonishment, she paused, looked at me, and just said, 'Okay, let's look into it.' My jaw practically hit the floor! That moment of unexpected approval, that shift from anticipated disappointment to sudden elation, is truly unforgettable. It’s a moment that stays with you, a little burst of happiness you can recall. It makes you wonder, what makes them say yes sometimes? Maybe it's because we've been extra good lately, or perhaps they're in a particularly good mood. Sometimes, it feels like they just surprise us to keep us on our toes, or maybe they just appreciate the effort we put into asking, or how much we truly want something. Whatever the reason, those 'yes' moments are golden. They're the ones we tell our friends about, the ones that make us feel like we've pulled off the impossible. And let's be honest, we all have those secret strategies we try to employ to get that 'yes.' Whether it's doing extra chores without being asked, acing a test, or simply waiting for the perfect moment when they’re relaxed and happy. It's all part of the game, a playful dance between kid and parent. But even with all the planning, the most magical 'yes' is always the one you never saw coming, the one that blindsides you with pure delight. So next time you get that unexpected 'yes,' savor it! It’s a rare and wonderful thing that proves moms truly do have a soft spot for us.

A spiral-bound notebook page displays handwritten notes titled 'WHEN GOD SAYS NO!'. The notes explain that God's 'no' is for our best interest, protects us, and guides us, encouraging acceptance and full reliance on Him, with scripture references.
When GOD says NO‼️Then what? 🤷🏾‍♀️
You know, sometimes life throws us curveballs, and it feels like our prayers or plans just hit a wall. It’s easy to get frustrated or disheartened when God says no, but often there’s a bigger picture we can't see. Maybe that job we didn’t get or the relationship that didn’t work out was actuall

Present mom AND time for myself — how ? 🌿
Can I be honest about something? The question isn’t really “how do I find the balance.” It’s “why do I feel so guilty every time I try to take a minute for myself?” Most moms have pockets of time. It’s the guilt that makes them unusable. You scroll through them instead of resting in them.
