51 | Guilty for wasting time? Biblical Encouragement for the SAHM

Does motherhood feel like it’s derailed your priorities and canceled your calling? Are you stuck in routines that make you wonder How God could use this season of wiping butts for anything meaningful? Do you ever feel guilty for wasting time even though your whole day is spent serving your family? 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 how God is using a 20-year-old mistake so you can be encouraged when you look back on your past.  Nothing you walk through is wasted. God uses every season, even the messy ones, to shape you. Your mistakes and wasted time don't limit what you can do now and in the future. Your mistakes and wasted time don’t disqualify you. They often become the very tools God uses to equip you. Growth takes time. Running from or ignoring your calling doesn’t cancel it. SAHM life is exhausting, and the routines can feel endless, but this season can grow you in ways nothing else can — stretching your patience, your priorities, redefining your self‑esteem, and your dependence on God. Motherhood isn’t undoing you; it’s refining you. God is using even the emotional cliffs and chaotic days to build strength, wisdom, and compassion in you. Starting February 1, I’m launching a live monthly Q&A for premium Substack members — If you are a mom who feels alone, overwhelmed, and just want someone to come alongside them, this space is for you. To celebrate, I’m giving away 3 free months of membership. To enter: Leave a podcast review Screenshot it and send it to me Already left a review?
