I am feeling a pull, or calling?, to go to college for counseling. I am 42 years old with no college in my background. I have felt this 'idea' in the back of my mind for about 12 years, but have recently felt I need to act on it more earnestly now. However, with finances as they are, I just don't see how. But I know with God, everything is possible. My prayer request is to know if this actually is the path I'm supposed to take? If not, then please make it clear this is not the way I am to go, at this time. Thank you.

Very clever username! :)
I will most certainly be praying for guidance for you , E, as you seek God's will and wisdom in this decision. But please allow me to say that in the very brief interaction I have had with you, in the mentor training that Sybil did about a year ago, I sensed in you a true gift in this area of relating with people. If the unsolicited vote of a virtual stranger counts at all, my gut says you should go for this! I knew another gal, in almost exactly your situation, with the same dream at a similar age, who did exactly what you want to do...and she now has a very busy Christian counseling ministry in a small town north of GR. I'm sure I could get contact info for you, if you would want to chat with her. If God is in this, (and I strongly suspect that He is!), He WILL make a way! (love that song!) Please keep us posted! :)
