Congratulations Supermodel1908! Speaking from experience, I know that the road has been a long, arduous, yet worthwhile one.
With regard to the graduate assistantships, remain prayerfully optimistic. I just completed my graduate program (graduated May 20th) at Carnegie Mellon U. and my attendance was financed solely on a fellowship, with a stipend from my research assistant responsibilities. I'm entering my doctoral program in the fall, and that too, will be funded by a fellowship. Believe me, I know that this is a process that you can only get through by remaining focused on your God-ly given purpose and a strong dose of faith. God will certainly provide...and in ways that you would never imagine possible (see my testimony under the thread, "You should be a Witness").
Keep the faith, remembering that "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1, KJV, Holy Bible). Press on!

I will bless the Lord at ALL times His praise shall continually be in my mouth. (Psalms 34:1, KJV)
