One Yes, One Not Yet

Ahh, dear God, I am anxious.  It is hard to wait for Your response about Amy's job.  My heart wants Messiah for a number of (what I think are) good reasons.  :)  Some of those good reasons have to do with family relationships: her sister Julie's proximity in Philadelphia, her grandmother's desire to have her as close as possible (the other options are South Carolina and Iowa), and her father's similar desire to have her close.  I am trying to be open-minded and open-handed about Your will.  I don't know how well I am succeeding.  So, what do I really want to ask You?

• May Your will be done, first, last, and in between.
• Would You see fit to have her at Messiah?  She reported that it is, perhaps, the "best" of the schools insofar as student development, residential life, and institutional health are concerned.  She also reported, however, that there will be more discipline problems there than at the other two schools.
• We value family relationships!  At least on my side of the family, and also, if to a slightly lesser degree, on George's.  For my mother's sake, would You answer her prayer for Amy to be in Pennsylvania?  I don't know whether Grandma would get down to PA, but it would certainly be easier for Amy to come "home" for holidays and breaks to bless her grandmother.
• You know that I sometimes worry about Julie's lack of Christian fellowship.  Having Amy only two hours away, and having the possibility of their spending some time together, would be one way that Julie could be in touch with a strong and Godly and amazing woman--her sister.  So, for Julie's sake, would You put Amy at Messiah?

I would be all right traveling to and visiting Iowa.  :)  Anderson in South Carolina is not as healthy a school as the other two colleges/universities, but I wondered about its proximity to Atlanta.

No matter what, dear God, thank You for the encouragement that these on-campus interviews have been to my daughter.  We surrender to Your will and Your calling on her life.  In Jesus's name~~Amen.

PS  The "one yes" is Julie's apartment lease.  Thank You!  I am relieved.
