you were meant for...
**this is my over simplified, most likely inaccurate view of something i have never seen, only heard about. and words and stories can never stand up to the real thing. but i'm throwing this out there anyway... because it's a 2 second snapshot into a story that is changing lives... in a really real way.
in brooklyn new york, there's a girl named kelly allman. a couple of years ago, kelly became a flame in a fire a lot bigger than she is. the fire was started by a man named bill wilson. bill had a dream: that the kids who live in the projects, and other horrible parts of new york, would know how much they are loved. and not just that they would know it, but that they would really experience it.
enter metro ministries. kelly works for metro, which was founded by bill. their lives are not easy- at all. to live, for them, is a daily sacrifice. but the awesome thing is that they really live for what they believe in. how many people really do that? i think that their lives look a whole lot like what life not wasted should look like. to say that i have incredible respect for them would be such an understatement... and i'm sure that my understanding of what goes on there doesn't even come close to reality.
mmm okay so what is the bottom line of what metro is doing?
they're passing this word into little lives, and big ones too:
you were meant for amazing things.

peace.
