Nikki,

Glad to see you've received such great encouragement here. My wife is going to be taking some classes while I am attending seminary over the next several years. Every now and then you might find some one who confuses "women learning about Jesus" and "women pastoring a church" and might give you a hard time, but I'm always quick to point out that just because someone wants to go to seminary doesn't mean they want to pastor. I think it is great for you to go to seminary if that a desire you have. My proof text for women attending seminary is from the Luke 10:38-42. It appears to me that Jesus had no problem with women in his seminary...

Also, here is a blog post about women attending seminary. Also, I recently found this blog that has a good section on discerning your call to seminary.
