What are your lifetime goals?

I've already met the love of my life, and she married someone else. I'm quite satisfied that it happened because before I knew someone could love me, I didn't know if I could be loved by a woman. Now I know I can be loved, so I don't care in that realm much anymore.

I do have goals though!

Anyway all sorts of things have happened in my life. But the most important thing that happened was that God spoke to me, "Good News" and some minor miracles happened culminating with my dad handing me a Good News Bible:so I know he exists 100%.

So my whole life is trying to maximize myself in God's service. I've always wanted to be a healer. In the Bible, the healers are down on the ladder of who's important, below apostles and teachers. Anyway God didn't make me a healer, but I feel like I make a good marketing director for God. Everywhere I go on the net, I try and link to my website(mods will get mad if I post it here though). All it says is my experience with God, and some insight to why Jesus makes a lot of sense even democratically speaking. So I want to be more than just being a cyber evangelicist.

Me and a friend are going to go into some buisnesses. I'll tell you in 5 years they succeeded. Anyway my goal is to earn money to save starving kids.

The way I look at people starving is that they simply don't have enough money to buy food. The amount of money to buy food is very small in comparison to what a medium to wealthy American can make in his buisnesses. So I figure I'll try and feed as many people as I can.

Now there is a many fold thing here:
1)I'm just trying to earn rewards with God. In the bible it says not to tell people how much you give so you're not out to gain a reputation else you're rewarded on earth. I don't think discussing one's life's goals means I'll get no heavenly reward. I think it's good to discuss one's life's goals candidly so you can compare with others.

2)People who think feeding the poor just leads to more poor people are just making an excuse so they can lead their life and not care about it. What happens when you feed poor people is that you not only save them from a horrible death, but you also boost their local economy slightly by injecting funds into it.

3)Finally if you use a Christian Charity, they can spread the Gospel with your giving. This is not exactly the most effective way to spread the Gospel, but hey its a way. Jesus criticized the Pharicies that traveled over mountains just to convince one man of their version of the law. Won't Jesus also praise the man who after exhausting every option to convert masses, travels over mountains to spread the Good News to one man?

So that's my life goals. I want to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ on the internet. I also want to earn as much money as I can so I can help starving kids. Jesus said that you can only serve God or money. By spending all your money to serve God, you're not serving money for it's sake, but for God's.

i am a goal oriented person. my life is about setting goals and accomplishing them (while pushing myself to do it as best and fast as i can).

right now is a trying time for me. i had a plan of action in my schooling. God told me i needed to change, He hasn't revealed what i need to change to yet. so He's pushing me to rely more on Him. its difficult for me not to have a goal to be working toward in that area. not knowing what to be doing...

but i trust God and know i will accomplish that which has been set before me.

so far, I have one huge goal. Before I die, I would want to help those in need and help people who are struggling make positive changes in their lives.

My quote has always been: "I want to help those in need, one person at a time"

My quote has always been... "If it's for free, it's for me."

ANYWAY, my goal is to get married, have a couple kids, live life to the fullest and still praise God and follow his will for me.

In the words of Joe Dirt; "Life's a garden.. dig it."

My goals are simple.

I wanted to meet and marry my soulmate...the first half of that is taken care of, and the second part will be completed in a few years.

I have many small goals involving my future, but the main one is just for both of us to live a loving and healthy life together; also, we plan on owning llamas and various other pets (our substitution for kids! hehe) and I want to travel as often as possible.
