I'm so SO SO confused! :'(

My guy recently came back from USA. He was away for 2 years -we broke up while he was over there... I do love him, for he means a great deal to me and he's almost perfect in every aspect... Faithful to God, sweet, sincere, funny and smart... but there's some things missing, and I guess I kinda hope God intended something more for me... or maybe someone...

And I was accepted at PNX -its a Theology School about 2 days drive away from home. It breaks my heart thining about telling them that I wont be going. I was so excited about going... And I was certain God showed me the path to go there a few months back.

Logically it would be better to stay with my parents and study via correspondence. My guy is here, who is fantastic, and my whole support system is here. Also I know it's going to cost my father a lot to send me. I'm so afraid of failing my dad, like everyone else in our family. And ontop of that I'm afraid I ont make it there since I already dropped out of University once.

But I just have this weight on my heart to go.. I stil need lots of prayer! :'(

Thanks!

I wouldn't worry about failing out. God is the one that created your brain and he knows everything you are capable of doing and he will not put anything on your plate that is too big for you to handle.I had similar worries about engineering school. I had horrible grades my first two years and I thought there was no way that I was cut out to be an engineer but when I gave it all to God my grades turned around and now it looks like I might be going to graduate school. He is gracious to those who love Him.
As far as deciding weather to go or stay, pray about it and give it all to him. Sometimes God doesnt give you the answer when you want it but be persistent with Him. I'll pray He reveals where He wants you to go.

By the way are you going to theology school in South Africa? I visited South Africa in 2008 and went to Cape Town and Pretoria. I hope someday I can go back to Africa and do mission work. My major is in Water Resources, I would like to help build water collection systems and latrines.
