On the weekends when my mother worked as a nurse at the local hospital and all I wanted to do was be a kid, I was responsible for my younger brother and sister. That included everything from getting them dressed to feeding them and making sure they were safe. Growing up, I became increasingly more and more convinced that I never wanted children of my own. Instead, I concentrated on establishing a career and experiencing a life that did not include children. That was until I met and married Luis. Then a shift occurred, and my heart expanded to embrace the possibility. What unfolded next, over the course of many years, was an emotional and spiritual journey to conceive a child that required me to look into the depths of my very soul and ultimately to get real with God. In The Gentle No: Wanting What Wasn't for Me, the reader is invited to experience a pivotal time in my life while considering this question: \"What happens if you never get the thing that you have waited and prayed for?\" Through disappointment and heartbreak, this is a story that stands firmly on Romans 8:28: \"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 14, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47459090235570,"sku":"9798893457858","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/4b497b9ef1a0632c9db28ac26a424191.webp?v=1778898464","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-gentle-no-wanting-what-wasnt-for-me-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
