Early in 2008, I became aware of TO WRITE LOVE ON HER ARMS, a non-profit movement dedicated to helping those who struggle with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. At that time, my husband and I were working with the student ministry of the church we were a part of and were having our eyes open to how very real and common these struggles are among teenagers today. I am so thankful for what this movement is about and want to continue to help spread the word...
Today is "TO WRITE LOVE ON HER ARMS" day. Take a few seconds and write the word "LOVE" on your arm in support of those who struggle, and then let it serve as a reminder to you throughout the day to pray.
I dug through the Cheryl Weaver Photography archives to bring back one of the most popular images I have ever posted. This is from last year's Cheryl Weaver Photography blog post about TWLOHA day. I have to admit that I was a bit overwhelmed by the feedback I received. I believe it just serves as confirmation that love and support are so needed to combat the emotional and physical scars so many of these precious teens bear.
