decisions

so this fall I can...

go back to Bethany
-easier option, comfort zone
-be with all my friends,
-bible school experience.
-1 more year of student loans that will eventually need to be paid off

or

take psychology via correspondence with Liberty University
-can start pursuing and actual career and degree program
-give me a sense of direction in my life
-it'll be harder
-I'll be living at home for at least 2 years.
-have to start paying off student loans from 1st year at Bethany meaning i will need to work part time while taking classes.

so.... which one do I do. I don't really have a peace about either of these two options and there is no option C at the moment.  
my entire existance has been based on the thought that someday I'm going to go into full-time ministry. without that I have nothing. I have no direction, I have no purpose.
After what happened week 2, I said i didn't want to look back again and feel like I've wasted my life. but how do i do that?

oh man. i remember being at that place, after my first year at millar, wondering if i should go back or move on...
it felt like such a scary thing, and i felt like if i made the wrong choice, that year would somehow be considered wasted, and i'd throw off God's big plan for my life.
sometimes during the year i questioned if i really did make the right choice in going back, BUT i've never felt like it was a wasted year.
i figure, if you live well, pay attention, learn from mistakes, grow in your relationships, and honestly seek to do God's will [even when it's unclear and you feel like you don't know exactly what that is], you'll never waste a single day! :)
this isn't me saying you should go back or shouldn't go back--it's just me saying, don't get too stressed!
God is good at putting people where they need to be, often without us even knowing it.
praying for you shantel!
