Busy mamas: Ever feel like you should be doing "more" for God?
|
Ever feel like you should be doing "more" for God or your family, but you're already maxed out and can't imagine adding one more thing? Maybe you feel Him stirring something in your heart. But you're exhausted, overwhelmed, and paralyzed by the fear of what saying yes might cost you and your family. So you tell yourself "maybe when life is less chaotic" or "when I feel more ready." But what if saying yes to God doesn't mean piling more on your plate? What if it means letting go of what doesn't matter so you can focus on what does? Today on the podcast, I'm talking with Cynthia Yanof, author of How'd I Miss That?, and her story will challenge you, encourage you, and definitely make you laugh! She shares about real mom life, including how she said yes to fostering when life was already chaotic (spoiler: her kids turned out better because of it, not despite it). In this conversation, we talk about:

Have you ever watched a great YouTube video or read a helpful parenting article and thought, "Yes! That's exactly what I need!" ...and then saved it to your ever-growing collection of tips you've never actually used? 🤦♀️ You watch the video. You think, "I should totally do that." You save it. And then... nothing. Because you already have 47 other saved posts, 12 bookmarked articles, and a notes app full of "great ideas" you never got around to implementing. It's not that you forgot.

The family vacation photos that make you question if you're giving your kids enough experiences. The cute Target haul that has you adding things to your cart you didn't even know you needed. You want a good life for your family. You want to provide well for them, create beautiful memories, give them opportunities. But then the guilt...
