There are days when motherhood feels like a sacred gift wrapped in wonder. Then there are others when it feels like a calling beyond our own abilities. Maybe today, you yelled when you meant to be patient. Maybe you served chicken nuggets again because it was all you could manage. Maybe you are doubting if you are really cut out for this.

Let me remind you of a beautiful, holy truth: You are the mom God chose for your children.

Not because you are perfect. Not because you always get it right. But because He, in His infinite wisdom, saw your heart, knew your story, and created your presence. He call you mom for the children He placed in your life.

This was not a mistake.

Motherhood can feel like it is about perfection. Mama, I am here to tell you – it is not. You know that old adage. ‘There is no way to be a perfect mom. There are a million ways to be a good one.’ Well, it is true. Motherhood is about loving deeply. It is about showing up daily. It is also about walking humbly with the Lord as he shapes you and your children, together.

You may not always feel equipped, but He is equipping you. Every morning snuggle, bedtime prayer, scraped knee kissed – these are holy echoes of this calling. They are calling you into motherhood one small earnest mom-ent at a time.

Mama, the next time those doubts sneak into your thoughts, whisper back: “I was chosen for this.” And we will get through this together, prayer by prayer, and in every Earnest MOMent by Earnest MOMent.
