This week on Threshold, I’m sharing a guest post from Abby McDonald. In this episode, Abby reflects on the identity shifts that happen in motherhood and how she rediscovered who she was beyond the title of “mom.”
Whether you're in the trenches of early motherhood or wrestling with who you are now, her story will remind you: your worth isn’t in what you do, but in who God says you are.
