The organization To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA) came to McKendree University on Tuesday, November 8, 2011. I had the opportunity to go, and it was a phenomenal experience. Jamie Tworkowski, the founder of TWLOHA, came to McKendree to speak to students and community members about TWLOHA. Jamie came with his friends, Mental Health Counselor, Aaron Moore, and musician Steven McMorran from Satellite. The music was amazing, the speakers phenomenal, and the message inspiring. The speakers were so eager and willing to speak with the audience members. It was very interactive, and afterwords they offered the opportunity for a meet and greet with the audience.
My friends, and myself took advantage of that, haha. While me, Nicole, and Caitlin jumped in line to meet Jamie and get our picture with him, Skylar jumped in line to chat with Aaron.
Now mind you, the friends I went with are from my church, and we knew a little background about the organization, and that it began as a Christian organization. But Skylar chatted with Aaron a little bit so definitely find out that both men are in fact strong, faithful, devoted men of God. So awesome! And they are reaching people of many different beliefs. God gifts people like these men for a reason. The impact that these men are having upon lives is great.
What is way more amazing is that what they are teaching is what we as Christians need to be teaching. Every life has more value than we can ever comprehend. Regardless of if you are aware of it or not, you are impacting people every day. God made every individual person beautiful in their own individual way. People need love. They need to know that they are cared for, that they matter, and that their life has purpose. Jamie and the rest of the staff for TWLOHA has done an outstanding job of portraying and preaching this message to people all around the world. Well done.
That's all for now.
I'm gonna try to post again soon.
But knowing me...it'll be about a year.
