College

[brightlights]

This coming August I'm going to be attending the University of Dayton. My mother and I just sat down and went over some numbers and it seems that, after scholarships and financial aid, I will (at worst) be graduating 52,000 in debt or (at best) 28,000 in debt. The reason that I chose Dayton is because of their awesome theology program. I want to go into ministry -- I want to be a pastor or something. I feel that I've been called to some kind of position in ministry. My problem is the money. I also want to attend seminary after Dayton, but that tends to be pretty expensive. I would also like to get married after college and eventually start a family.

These debt numbers kind of scare me, but if this is where God wants me to be then I have no reason in the universe to be scared and I can face it with no fear whatsoever. I need to start praying about this. Admittedly, I didn't really even pray about my college choice. I just looked for a good theology program. I want to know whether or not God wants me to be here. Could you please pray for me? If anyone has any revelations or intuitions or even advice then I would be very grateful.
