What a mature young person to realize that just because we have thoughts that cross our minds doesn't mean that is the truth. Satan is a liar and wants to make you think that you are alone, you don't measure up, etc. But that is not what God tells us..I'd rather believe God's plan for us is to Love the Lord your God with all of your heart and love your neighbor as yourself. You have been a great encouragement to hear your story. I hope you can share this with another person that may not realize just how special they are.. God Bless!

I'm speachless, I am 18, and i have been to the point where those thoughts cross my mind. I'm still young as people would say but my life hasn't been easy. My parents divorced when i was 10 yrs old, I began working at the age of 14 and had to drop out of school at 16. As my life went by thoughts would cross my mind "why can't i have a normal life", "why does this have to happen to me" or "Am i better off being dead?". There has been many times were satan has been close to taking my life but to the glory of god he has always touched out and reached me, before its to late. Many times i would feel empty, alone and scared. I would feel like nobody loved me even though there was people that cared, there was a hole in my heart that was tearing me apart. I began to reach out to god, asking, begging him to love me to make me feel loved, and to take the bad thoughts of suicide away. I can't tell you that everything was ok after that, because it wasn't those thoughts would torment me. But you have to believe and be strong until finally im happy for who i am and what i have become. I want to Thank You for reminding me of how important it is to love yourself and to believe and have faith. Sometimes we forget on how blessed we are to have life, and people around us that care.And no matter what your past has been or what you have done, No matter what your present is like, just remember you can always change things around .There is always a way out.You may not be able to forget your past but dont let it destroy your future. God Bless and always remember God Loves You. And even though we may not understand things at times God has a Plan and a Purpose, Everything happens for a reason. Wow!

The bus stop billboards got my attention before I ever knew it was Jonathan. I know they are and will continue to make an impact and change people's lives. Clara Warrick has a neat story she needs to tell you about a conversation she had with two people at one of the bus stops. I'm so proud of how you are letting God use your pain and grief in such a mighty way. I will make sure people who need true Hope know about this website. I'm a Metro mom (one of too many) who has lost a child. My daughter Lauren was a junior when she was killed in a car accident on February 11, 2008. I would love to meet you personally soon. We have much in common--most importantly our faith and the assurance we will be with our precious children again. I know Jonathan is so very proud of you. Thank you Mike and Mickey.

Then last week I saw another picture of Jonathan in Jenks and absently thought, "'Oh, there's Jonathan" and smiled back at him. What struck me was that you have taken a tragic, impetuous moment and are making it about his life, a life well-lived. Your family was so good to Kelsey and to me when we came to Metro. Really the only family to really reach out to us. I won't ever forget that and the times you had us out to the house for Easter and the 4th of July. Kelsey enjoyed being with your family so much. You all were mentors for what a whole, happy family unit is supposed to look like. For that I will always be grateful. You know emphatically that Jonathan is in heaven. It is grappling with the loss of his earthly self that must be so daunting. I have been praying for peace for you and will continue to do so. Much Love, Susan Mike, Mickey and Girls,

Your family was so good to Kelsey and to me when we came to Metro. I have often thought of the times you had us out to the house and how often Kelsey was there with you. I think of you more than you can possibly know. When I saw Jonathan's picture on Lewis I had to tell you. I have been struggling with words for two weeks to let you know, then this week I passed a bus stop and thought absently Oh' there's Jonathan. What struck me about that moment is that I actually smiled back at his picture, as he smiling at me. You have taken a tragic, impetuous, moment in his life and made it about a life.....a life well-lived until that moment. You know emphatically that Jonathan is in heaven. It is grappling daily with the pain of missing his earthly self that must be so daunting. I have been praying for peace for your family and will continue to do so. What a wonderful thing you have done to honor his life and touch other lives. Much Love, Susan Mike, Mickey and Girls,

When I saw Jonathan’s picture on Lewis I had to tell you. I have been struggling with words for two weeks to let you know, then this week I passed a bus stop and thought absently Oh’ there’s Jonathan. What struck me about that moment is that I actually smiled back at his picture, as he smiling at me. You have taken a tragic, impetuous, moment in his life and made it about a life…..a life well-lived until that moment.

You know emphatically that Jonathan is in heaven. It is grappling daily with the pain of missing his earthly self that must be so daunting.

I look up to his wonderful sister,Bethany, and ive always looked up to him for as long as i can remeber. He always had a smile on his face, and to this day, i know he has a smile on his face.when i think of Jonathan, i picture him in the bright blue sky looking down on us, while standing next to Jesus. I've had some trouble with my faith recently but i know things will get better, because i have hope. When I heard Jonathan's mom(or as i call her, Mrs.Lemery) read "you are special" to our youth group at Falls Creek, I had Hope. Hope that i'll see Jonathan again, with that bright smile on his face. I had hope that my brother will come back to Christ, and I had hope that my father will come back into my life. God has given me Hope, but most importantly, Jonathan has given me encouragment,laughter,curioustiy, and Hope.
