The decision has been made...

I’d like to thank everyone who prayed for me because of a Blog post that I made a few days ago. The decision that I was referring to (the “more later” part of the aforementioned post) was about whether or not I should keep my current job or say “yes” to the offer of a new job. Well, this morning, I gave my two-weeks notice at Ozanam and in…two weeks… I will be a full-time web/graphic designer again. It’s been a while (oh, four and a half years or so) since I have had a non-freelance, full-time design job and I am very excited.

While my wife and I talked and prayed about the decision last week we just couldn’t come up with enough reason for me to stay where I currently am. I have been patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) waiting for something like this to come up and, while I will miss my “kids” terribly, we think that this opportunity was most definitely from God. It has been a very fun and demanding two years at school. I have learned a lot and, if anything, my experiences and aquired expertise with troubled children, should make actual parenting a breeze (yeah, right!). I do love the kids at school and I appreciate the fact that I was helping to facilitate a better life for them. I will continue to pray for their development as “good” human beings. I will pray for their lives and situations to change for the better. I will pray that they find our Lord.

It is time for a change, though. I will miss where I was, but I know that there are great things ahead. Hensley Technologies is owned and operated by a friend of mine from church, along with his father and brother. It reminds me of what my first, real design job was like ( intimate and personal, where everyone had to wear many “hats” ) before it became what it became.

Anyway, I’m sure you’ll all hear a lot more about this in the days and weeks to come…
