Still Called: Motherhood Cannot Cancel Destiny
Motherhood is a beautiful calling, but too many women believe that once they become mothers, their own purpose in life no longer matters — or worse, should be buried completely. Society often paints the picture that “good mothers” sacrifice their dreams entirely for their families. While sacrifice is indeed part of motherhood, it was never meant to mean abandoning your God-given purpose. That’s not what true motherhood is about. As a mother, you may not be able to pursue your purpose full-time, especially when your children are still young and you don’t have support, but you can still begin to grow into it gradually. And as your children grow, you’ll have the opportunity to step more fully into that purpose.
The truth is, as a mother, you are still called, gifted, and created for impact beyond the walls of your home. Motherhood and purpose are not enemies — they can walk side by side. In fact, pursuing your purpose makes you a better mother because you model passion, resilience, and self-worth for your children.
Think about it: when your children see you writing that book, running that business, serving in ministry, or pursuing that degree, they learn by example that they too can chase their dreams unapologetically. You’re not just telling them to live boldly — you’re showing them how.
Here’s how you can keep walking in your purpose as a mother:
● Acknowledge your season — small steps matter; you don’t need to achieve everything at once.
● Integrate Your Purpose into Family Life — let your children see, ask, and even participate where possible.
● Use Your Gifts Consistently — whether it’s teaching, creating, speaking, or serving, don’t let it go dormant.
● Reject Guilt — pursuing your purpose doesn’t mean you love your family less; it means you’re honoring who God made you to be.
Motherhood is part of your assignment, but it is not the whole of your identity. When you walk on purpose, you’re not only fulfilling yourself — you’re leaving a legacy your children can proudly follow.
Has becoming a mother changed your sense of purpose? How can you still grow in your God-given calling?
Bye!
