So I sent my mom an e-mail saying I wanted to go to seminary last week. I did it that way because I was too chicken to tell them in person. I don't know, I thought they'd either be very happy or very upset. I guess the upsetness might come from thinking I am wasting money, or that it is not appropriate for a girl to do such things, but it's not

Based on your knowledge that this is what God wants you to do, there should be only peace in the decision to follow God's way. I know it's not that simple, but just something to think on. Also, on the subject of women not teaching, it depends on the church. Some churches think that the verses that are usually sited to justify that are taken out of context, both Biblically and historically. Just make sure you thoroughly research before you rule yourself out for anything on that one.

Thanks, I do know that this desire was placed on my heart by God. I'm not sure exactly what he wants to use it for. I have my theories such as writing and giving me more equipment and training for everyday evangalizing and the work I do at the camp I counsel at in the summer. I know different churches have different views on the women in church thing. I've heard differnt views on the historical reasoning and actual meaning of that passage, but i don't have a set opinion, but I do know God approves of me getting a degree. I don't think that applies to writing or individual ministering. But my parents are old and I don't know what my dad thinks. It seems to me he is more concerned with the school and my ability to decipher correct doctrine, but I am confident that God will not let me be lead astray and that I have my own mind that can think for itself and can know when something doesn't seem right. So I dunno, we'll see. either way, I am going.
