If I could not fail

I took the IMPACT challenge of doing a dare every day for the next 50 days. Yesterday, we prayed for 15 minutes about God opening our hearts and minds and helping us grow. Today, we were asked this:

What dream would you run after if you knew failure was not an option?

I am going to attempt to blog for as many as these dares as possible. I think it is good for me to constantly be writing, I want to blog more, and I feel like these will bring on a lot of intriguing topics.

So for this one. It is taking a lot of thinking. The first thing that comes to mind is hurting girls. But what should I do for them? What would be right? How would I know I'm not crossing lines, or making the wrong decision? I guess asking these questions is defeating the purpose of the dare, so I guess I'll just jump in.

I would want a group that girls can come to. I would love to run a youth girls center, where girls can come for things all the way from temporary counseling to long term housing. I want it to be a place where we equip girls with skills they can use; leadership, self defense, and an education. I want it to be a place where we help girls learn the values of themselves, and help them make wise decisions. It will be a place for healing, for girls who made the wrong decisions. Girls with broken families, girls with addictions that hurt themselves. Girls who have decided their life is no longer worth it. I would love to have a center that speaks against lies like this one, and help girls get back on their feet after continually being knocked down.

I have absolutely no idea what this would really look like. And I have no idea if I will ever do it. But it is something I would love to see happen.

Another dream I would do if it could not fail? Open an orphanage in a country where kids are living on the streets.
