74 | Stink to Strength! Finding Worth in Trails - Devotion

Do you see a lot of stinky stuff come out of you when you hit challenging times? Are you wondering what the purpose of trials even is? Have you wondered how God can and does use our trials, disruptions, and crazy times to make us better children of God? 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 on drying garlic so you can see how God uses trials and hard times to transform us into a "delicious aroma"! God uses hard seasons to reveal what needs healing. What feels “stinky” can become something good in His hands. Scripture exposes what’s hidden so God can transform it. Refining seasons grow endurance, character, and hope.
