Confessions of an Imperfect Christian Mom — 6 Comments

  1. Amen, Cheryl! I can relate to this. God made us all different and we all parent differently. Even though my kids are all grown, I still have one in the nest and usually that seems like plenty. Our kids learn our parenting style and as long as we love them the best we can in any given situation, that’s what matters most. It may not always be pretty, but as long as we’re seeking after God, he fills in the gaps. Thanks for your vulnerability in writing this. It’s like a breath of fresh air!

  2. Thanks, Linda. I’m glad you liked it. I’m a fairly open book, but let me tell you, I do feel a certainly responsibility as a Christian to act a certain way and it bothers me when I don’t. Good thing I believe in the power of prayer.

  3. Hi Cheryl! Well put. Great read and very attractive writing! I look so forward to getting your books. I am a devout Christian mom and can totally relate! Great meeting you today. God bless!

  4. Yep – I agree. I’ve had similar struggles facing the false guilt of comparison and been in tears at times. But something hit me recently that I’m holding onto – God chose ME to be the mother of our children. He didn’t choose that homeschooling super mum who entertains every second weeknight. He didn’t choose the working mum who manages to juggle housework and professionalism like it comes naturally. He chose me – weak, easily overwhelmed, creatively off centre me.
    So he must think I can do it. And he probably wants me to do it using the gifts, talents and personality he gave me – otherwise it would be a lie.
    Thanks for your honesty and this encouraging post.
