72 | Learning to Let Go and Depend on God - Devotion

Do you have emotional “empty boxes” — mom guilt, comparison, or old routines — you're holding onto? Have you been carrying hurt, dreams, or expectations that God is asking you to release so you can rebuild healthier priorities? Are you keeping things—physical or emotional—that are actually doing damage to your family? 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 how boxes of stuff, literal or figurative can clutter our lives so you can see where God is asking you to let go and make room for new things.  Letting go makes room for what God actually wants to give you. Hoarding—physical or emotional—quietly drains your capacity. Invisible boxes (hurt, dreams, grudges) weigh more than the real ones. Forgiveness is releasing what’s poisoning your heart, not excusing the hurt. God can’t fill what you refuse to empty.
