No. My goal is to do God's will. I don't know how long he wants me to hang around.

To add, the Christian god tells us we are inherently and unavoidably sinful. We can't help it. We can't change. It is only by undeserved grace that we are saved.
Since "sin" is defined as NOT doing Yahweh's will, then this means any mission by a Christian to do his will is doomed to failure.
Saying that we're sinful doesn't mean that everything we do is sin. In fact if we live in the Spirit, we can be successful at avoiding much sin. Also, in the bible God often used sinful people to accomplish his will. Take Samson for example.
