Maybe the one thing you know is that seminary isn't for you. Maybe you wanted to go and it didn't work out. Maybe you never wanted to go. Maybe you thought about it and decided God is directing you another way. I would like to cup your face in my hands and remind you that this is not a problem. (Wow, between holding your face and making people read the Bible on car trips, I’m surprised I have friends.) We attended a church years ago where the most important thing was going to Bible college and being a missionary or a pastor. Obviously, I was excluded from that as a woman, but I was surprised to hear that my husband who, at the time, had two master’s degrees* and a secular job, felt excluded and less-than in this narrative as well.
