TWLOHA




I heard of this a couple months ago. I was at a show in Baltimore and I noticed some guy wearing a shirt that said it. I thought maybe it was a band but then I was wondering why I've seen so many musicians with shirts just like it on. Not that musicians are self-absorbed, but it's not often you'll see a band promoting another band at their set. I looked it up and found more about it. It's an awesome non-profit organization "which aims to present hope and find help for young people struggling with depression, self-injury, addiction, and suicide." I was reading the story behind the organization and why this guy started it, and I came across a quote that I loved; it said:


We often ask God to show up. We pray prayers of rescue. Perhaps God would ask us to be that rescue, to be His body, to move for things that matter. He is not invisible when we come alive. I might be simple but more and more, I believe God works in love, speaks in love, and is revealed in our love.

-Jamie Tworkowski, Founder of To Write Love On Her Arms




It's so true. We've just gotta keep extending love to people. A seed can't grow in an unsuitable enviornment. Check it out: To Write Love On Her Arms. It's going to be on my sidebar with all of my other links from now on, because there is something about this that really interests me. The story behind it is amazing.
