I have a passion that burns within me that I have felt for many years.
It is the passion with which I have chosen to work with the youth and
one that causes me much concern for them today. It is the subject of
teen suicide that I speak. I feel impelled at this time to share, that
as a teen, I too experienced the desperation of needing to escape and
leave this life of pain, hurt, betrayal, loneliness, depression and
fear. It was a deep, dark hole that I never want to ever find myself in
again. And whatever the reason one may find him or herself there, it is a
very real place and I want to acknowledge that.
My first
experience with suicide came after spending a weekend with a first
cousin. She was just a few years older than I at the time and took her
own life just a few days later. The impact on my life has had
far-reaching effects, one of which was just recently when one of her
brothers also took his life in the same manner. I know of a high school
peer that took his life as well.
Now let me share with you, after
having walked through those desperate shoes, that it is not only
possible to climb out of that deep, dark hole, but to want to climb out
and then help others to do the same. It is through the very means that
we try to leave through that dark hole in the first place; It is called
"escape." In all reality, we have let our lives get out of balance with
our spirit self and we have lost sight of who we really are and why we
are here on the earth and so we try to find an escape so we don't have
to feel the pain and discomfort associated with being out of balance.
How we escape is the key.
We all lived before this life preparing
to come down to earth to serve a purpose. We are not just evolved
matter that began to be for no reason. What is the purpose of life if we
do not have a creator that is bigger than ourselves that created us and
taught us and then sent us here to do something great? Not just exist,
but to be and do something extraordinaire! One who knows these truths
cannot look at the vast heavens with the billions of stars and planets,
and galaxies upon galaxies, and not feel that there is something bigger
to this picture called life. When you know the purpose of life, you
cannot look at this living planet full of so much life and not marvel at
the animal kingdom and the beauties of plant life... and not see God's
hands in every detail. You won't look at a newborn babe at its mother's
breast or an aging man or woman at the threshold of death without
experiencing a lump in your throat from the magnitude of the glorious
creation and cycle of life our Father in Heaven gave us. God is
everywhere, in everything, and in every breath we take. This knowledge
is a priceless gift that comes when you know where you came from, why
you are here, and where you are going. You then, are in a place that you
can understand what your purpose and mission is here on earth.
If
anyone within the reach of my words feels like they are a nobody or
desires to "escape" to nothingness, whether in their mind or by action,
PLEASE, hear me now... YOU are essential to this world, this purpose of
life, this cycle of life. YOU have a mission here along side the rest of
us. YOU just have to search for it and find it and when you do, you
will know without a doubt why you are here and then YOU will be
unstoppable!
