Does Anybody Hear Her?

I am Ashley I am a 20 year old female. I live in Evansville, IN. I have really had a hard time My 21st Birthday is comeing up and it's not one I am looking foward to. It all started on my sweet 16. My dad past away. He ended up killing his self. Before that I always went to church and I was the youth leader. But after that day I fell away from god.. Pretty bad. I ended up getting into drugs and not going to church. I even dropped out of high school. My 17 Birthday I was so depressed I locked myself in my room the wholeday. And then came my 18 b-day. and that was not very good either I ran away from home with a guy who hit me. I ended up running from him and stayed with a friend where I started doing even more drugs. Then my 20th birthday I was sitting at home and I started listening to your music. I listen to a song you sing called "Does anybody hear her" I listen to that song and it fit me so perfect. I started to cry and prayed to god to forgive me for fadeing away from him the way I did. I noticed that you know there was a reason why father past away and I pray that god will forgive him for what he did and my father will be home when I get there. I wanted to thank you all because if it was not for you I would not have god in my life again. I am happy to say that now I have gotten my GED and I am going to college to become a nurse. I am still looking for a new church because I just moved to IN and God is with me everyday. That song saved my life.. You all saved my life.

Hi Ashley, I'm from Chile and I read your history (...) I can see you've understood that the best way you can be, is Jesus.
I wanna tell you, that's Jesus Christ died for You, He's saved your life, He allowed you to listened that song, cuz you're His daugter and He wanna be your Father, your Friend, your Comforter, your Savior. (1ª John 1. 5-10; Luke 15.7) Don't forget Jesus died for ALL your sins, and He's faithful.
(1º Peter 1.6-9) HE IS THE SAVIOR OF YOUR LIFE!
God bless you,

Fran!

P.d Sorry about my english, I know it isn't the best one. :O

Hi my name is Mallory Scrivner i am 15 years old. I am not sure were to being but her i go with it. a year ago in December i had a Best friend that was like my sister killed in a car wreck, i did not understand why God would take her from em or her family. When i went to her Funeral the pastor told everyone there that life is to short not to be saved. When he said that I knew then what i had to do. i got back into church and got saved. Well in September of 2008 i had another Best friend killed in a car wreck. I had no clue what to do anymore. I felt like god was taking everyone i loved away from me. I got out of church and started doing things any everyday teen does now.I did not like it but i felt like god had no use for me, i felt like he just need to take my life so i could get away from all this.Well i got to talking to my Grandmother one night on the phone and i told her what was going on in my life and she told me to listen to your song " does any one hear her." and that night i got to thinking about it and looked your song up. after listing to your song I understood that God took them away so they could go home, and because he was testing my faith. i got back into church and ask god to forgive me. now i know that no matter what comes my way God will always be there to help me threw it. He was there all long i was just not looking hard enough to find him i did not have the faith like i should have. I just wanted to thank you and say God Bless Ya'll

Hi Ashley,

Suicide is extremely traumatic and is very different than any other loss than you will ever experience. I have found no one understands it unless they are a survivor themselves. My husband of 9 years committed suicide in 2006. I had already given my life to Christ at that time and I am so thankful I had. The Lord carried me through that time in my life as he will continue to carry you now. The Lord will give you the strength and courage to do the right thing and turn to him. I will keep you in my prayers. Keep the faith!! The Lord is good!!

God Bless,

Cathey

Hey, Ashley. I was reading your story and noticed that you just moved to Evansville and that you are looking for a church. I'm not sure if you have found one yet so I thought I'd comment. I grew up in Chandler. If you like small, you might like to try the church that I grew up in. Faith Free Will Baptist Church in Chandler. The people there are some of the sweetest in the world! If you are interested, you can check them out on the church website www.faithinchandler.com

I understand where you are coming from. My dad passed away, although not from suicide, when I was 15. Very tough. I live in Evansville (have all my life) and attend Westwood Baptist Church. They have a vibrant youth and college ministry, upbeat music, and a young enthusiastic minister. Try us out - I think you'll like it here.
