Unemployment – a short devotional 3

I started writing a devotional when I was going through unemployment after university in 2014. It was very challenging for me and I still wrestle with my identity being wrapped up in 'what I do' at times.

From my comfort zone…

Hello! Starting my work experience tomorrow! Very excited as I will be spending 3 weeks working for Christian Aid 🙂 I was a  bit apprehensive and when I arrived at my accommodation, I felt overwhelmed and decided to go for a walk.
