The following is a response to an Anon asking my age and my intended life goals. I hope you find the following note both satisfactory to your appetite and encouraging and enhancing to your short lived while well meaning existence. 

I’m 20 years old. I want to work in the service of the Church universal using all my talents and abilities to glorify Christ, in whatever aspect that may be. I have aspirations of being a writer, journalist, photographer, etc and will graduate from a local Uni soon with a degree in this exact subject. In the future, I want desperately to travel. On top of that, I have an insatiable appetite for teaching and enlightening people, not just to spiritual disciplines but in every walk of life. I have a bad habit of coming off as stand offish or a know-it-all when it really is just an attempt by myself to satisfy my need to teach others. (I want everyone to have the same opportunities, so I attempt to level the playing field by being an open source of knowledge. Most people think I’m an ass-hat.) 

Marriage wise? I hope to God that if marriage is a card that I am dealt, that it is one with an amazing Godly woman who is not only full of Christ’s redemptive grace but also a willing and faithful servant in the exhaustion of her energies towards the advancements of the Kingdom. 

I also hope to God that I am not stuck where I am now. As I am not currently in Uni and am working full time, I have no semblance of a schedule, a goal or a purpose.  I have never felt so awash and adrift in the tides of life and I will pray fervently Anon that you have found a guiding light in Christ and do not end up in the same tide of disparity encouraged by listless and gaunt lifestyles.
