long term goals

This week I have been thinking about some long term goals or desires. I really get inspired when I read C.S. Lewis books or read about him. Right now I am reading his biography, which I have read once in the past.

I want to be a "scholar" when I am older!! Ok, well not an old woman sitting around talking with intellectuals all day in a stuffy setting, but I mean I want to have learned a massive amount of information by the time I am old. And I'd like to know about many things, and be able to use that to talk about the Gospel and relate it to people of all backgrounds and cultures. I liked college a lot and even though I already graduated from it, I would like to go back again and again. It's not feasible right now, but in the future I would like to take any random classes I can. Colleges offer a lot of online courses, I took some during college, and it's easier than having to drive to the nearest University in Tampa.

I want to study more about anthropology, about old literature, about ancient empires, about archaeology, and other things. I want to be influential to intellectuals who don't acknowledge God's existence or don't acknowledge the whole spiritual side of this world.

Also I know one day Sujeet and I will be living in India, whether for months at a time or for years, I know it's going to happen one day. I get excited thinking about it but also sad. Sad because I have such a great family here that I will miss them when that time comes. But I know God's plan is more important than that. Sujeet and I still plan to help orphans in the future(after we have kids who have grown and after we can financially do it) in India. A lot of things need to be done in India.

I am reading through Acts right now(book in the bible) and it's really amazing.
