70 | Finding God in Your Mundane Motherhood Moments - Devotion
from Time for Mom | Self-Esteem, Routines, Mom Guilt, Priorities, Comparison, Devotional, Self-Worth · host Cheryl Davis - Busy SAHM Mentor, Time Management Coach, Wife
Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in a never‑ending valley season — where motherhood, marriage, or life just feels heavy and unrelenting? Have you walked through days that feel more like survival than growth, wondering why God would allow so many low moments at once? Are you longing for reassurance that the hard, mundane, or painful parts of your story actually have purpose? If so, you’re in the right place. Hi, Beautiful! I’m Cheryl — wife, SAHM, Coach and Mom Mentor. I learned the not‑so‑secret ways to become the mom my girls needed by prioritizing Jesus, building simple routines that supported my priorities, rejecting mom guilt, and discovering what self‑esteem and self‑worth really look like in everyday motherhood. In Time for Mom, we have honest conversations about comparison, practical devotional moments, and encouragement you can tuck into the cracks of your day. If you’re ready to build faith while washing dishes, rediscover your identity, and love yourself the way your babies already 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 devotional inspired by Jane Eggleston’s poem “It’s in the Valleys I Grow.” We’re talking about why the valleys of motherhood — the grief, the overwhelm, the mundane, the emotionally draining moments — are often the very places where God grows us the most. From the weight of daily responsibilities to the deeper struggles we don’t always talk about, God uses these low places to strengthen us, shape our character, and draw us closer to Him. 🌿 Tangible Takeaways for Moms 1. God grows you in the low places The valley seasons — the heavy, mundane, or painful ones — are where your roots deepen. 2. Your struggles have purpose Nothing you’re walking through is wasted. God uses even the hard moments to shape you. 3. God is steady in every season You may not understand the valley, but He’s with you in it, guiding and strengthening you. 4. The everyday moments matter Even the repetitive, ordinary parts of motherhood are places where God is working in you.
