re-union
Browsed back by the UNC Design Services webpage. I was looking for a UNC e-mail address (a student there wants to buy my motorcycle helmet) and I stopped by the Design Services page just for kicks. Lots of changes there. Mihali seems to be gone, and I think Georgia has permanently stepped down from her position as interim director. It’s hard to imagine that just a short year ago I was working there, in a different office, in a different town with a completely different set of responsibilities, at work and in life. It seems ages ago I was calling printers, frustrated about the quality of this or that proof, hashing over copy editing at the Gazette every two weeks with Susan, Gary and Lee and getting lunch at least once a week from Carrburritos. In retrospect, it seems so…static. I was happy enough there, but there were mountains I wanted to climb, places I wanted to go with Him. I was chomping at the bit. And I’ve come so far. I don’t want to forget this: He has met me literally every step of the way with grace, resources and provision, good relationships and other blessings. Even the circumstantially bad events He has worked together for my good and His praise. That’s knowledge to build a life upon.
