Megan Nilsen: A Higher Calling

After her counselor listened to her sob story, she expected her to hand her a kleenex, pat her on the back, and engage with her feelings of defeat. Instead, the counselor looked at her and said, "Megan, you know that motherhood is not your highest calling." Blinded-sided by the counselor's response, Megan Nilsen could not initially understand what the counselor meant because motherhood was all she was doing. Then, the counselor went on to explain that her truest and highest calling is as a child of God and that she needed to anchor her identity there first.
