48 | What if You Tried, SAHM? When Growth Means Breaking Routine - Mom Life Devotion

Do your kids ask to do things that you don't want to, like dance in public? Have you given into those cute little faces and surprised yourself by actually doing well? What if God is asking you to step out and try new things? If so, you’re in the right place.  Hi Beautiful, I’m Cheryl — wife, girl mom, aspiring SAHM, and Jesus follower. I learned the not-so-secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, finding routines that worked, rejecting mom guilt when I failed, and learning what self‑esteem really is. This podcast is for moms who want Biblical encouragement and real‑life devotions. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, become the mom you hoped you’d be, and love yourself the way your babies do — grab your earbuds and lock the bathroom door for a minute alone. It’s Time for Mom. In this episode, I’m sharing a devotion on how much trying to draw (not an artist!) has grown me spiritually so you can see those boundary stretching things in a new way.  Trying matters more than perfection — to your kids and to God. Your children delight in your presence, not your skill level — and God delights in your obedience the same way. You can do more than you think because God has already prepared good works for you (Ephesians 2:10). Fear of failure keeps us stuck in old identities, but trying builds confidence and spiritual maturity. When we stop trying, we miss out on discovering the gifts God has placed in us. Next Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 1:00 pm PST – 2:00 pm MST – 3:00 pm CST – 4:00 pm EST (Pick your time zone!), I will be hosting a free Time for Mom Breakthrough Workshop! Do you want to find that woman you used to be before you turned into Mom, but you feel like that woman died in childbirth? Listen, Cherished Momma, no, that is not truth. This workshop is going to help you find her again, one choice at a time.  You don’t have to run away, you don’t have to start from scratch, and you don’t need to waste time trying everyone else’s mothering techniques. I’ll help you lean into how God made you, by reconnecting you to your faith and growing from there.  So come join me in the Time for Mom Breakthrough Workshop, so I can take years off your journey to becoming the mom you want to be so you can enjoy life without the mom guilt.
