Thanks to all who prayed for my daughter Christina to get a job. She received and accepted an offer last Friday, and arrived in Grand Rapids, Michigan yesterday. She will be working as an editorial assistant with Baker Book House, a Christian publisher (I have many of their books, which are published under several names).
Why did she go so far? (I ask that myself!). There are only about a dozen major Christian publishers, of which about 4 are in Grand Rapids, 4 are in the Wheaton, Illinois area (where she spent the past 4 years, and interned with IV Press last semester), and 4 are scattered in other places. She is blessed to have gotten a job with one of them.
So, Thursday on our anniversary, Louise and she loaded up the car and drove out to Grand Rapids over 2 days. I am told it is a beautiful city, a very different world from Detroit, which is 150 miles away (and what I usually think of Michigan as). They have 3 days to get Christina a place to stay, to furnish it, and to move in. We believe that since God opened the door, He will provide all this quickly, plus a church, friends, etc.
But I miss Christina a lot already. After coming back from college, we were just getting used to her being home again. Michigan is so far away!

awe Pastor Ken this is so sad but what a blessing for her at the same time! I dont know how parents do this...meaning sending off your kids to college and/or letting them move away from home to work. I know you have to let your kids go and make a life of their own sooner or later, but it must be so hard. I am not looking forward to it at all and I hope I can count on my church family that had to go through the same thing for advice and comfort! Best wishes and many many blessings to your daughter.
