This story hit me like a ton of bricks with lots of tears today after Sunday church, trying to get a nap–but that much needed Sunday afternoon nap slipped right out the door……
Getting Over the Bridge
She brushed the thoughts aside that entered her tired mind that morning. Is the guns locked up safely? Make sure the guns are locked away.
Where did those troublesome thoughts come from? This was just crazy! She was in a hurry. She was in a hurry to get to work. So she said a quick prayer and hurriedly gathered her things, cranked the car and left home.
They were just finishing the job, when more of those thoughts popped into her brain. You haven’t heard from your daughter today. You need to call her right now.
The mother paused for a moment and realized she had not, in fact, heard from her daughter all day. Her daughter had broke up with her boyfriend the night before, and she had held her daughter as she had cried herself to sleep that night.
Mom picked up her cell and dialed the number. It rang several times and went to voice mail. She tried again. No answer. She tried several more times, and by this time, panic had set in. Something was wrong!
As luck would have it, their employers were gone for the day, so the Mom felt the liberty to alert the friend about the terrible gut feeling she had to pray an urgent 911 prayer.
They prayed fervently as they packed up their things and flew to the car. Mom was driving that day, so she pulled out onto the highway, all the while dialing her daughter’s number over and over repeatedly. It was a 10 minute drive back home.
Finally, half way home, the daughter answered, crying hysterically. “Where are you? Why have you not answered the phone? Are you ok?!!” Mom spoke fervently.
The daughter could not answer at first, she was crying too hard. When she was finally able, she told her mom between sobs that she was standing at the bridge, overlooking the bypass near their home!
The mother screamed her name into the phone! “YOU’RE ON THE BRIDGE?!! What are you doing there?You went for a walk? You left your car parked down the road and just started walking to the bridge? The mom repeated. DON’T YOU DO ANYTHING STUPID! I’M ON MY WAY THERE RIGHT NOW! HANG ON BABY!!! HANG ON BABY!!!! DO YOU HEAR ME?!!!!”
The mom hit the gas going over 90 miles an hour, talking and praying aloud with her daughter. She didn’t know what else to do! She could not hang the phone up to dial 911. Thank God no one else was on the road heading towards the bridge.
The friend snatched the phone from the Mom’s hand and hollered, “GO, GO! YOU DRIVE, I’LL TALK.”
The friend knew the daughter well, so she began to talk with her, pray with her, reassure her they were almost there. Then the friend screamed the daughter’s name, and started praying in the Spirit! They just had to round the sharp curve on the right and they would be there at the bypass bridge where the daughter was.
Little did the mom know, but the daughter had just stopped talking into the phone.
Unbeknown to them all, there was a young Christian woman who was traveling down the road on the other side of the bridge, heading west towards that bridge. For some strange reason, she had felt the need to go a different route on her way that afternoon.
As she neared the bridge, she looked ahead and gasped as she saw a teen girl lean over and put her phone down onto the concrete. She could see that she was crying and was about to swing a leg over, to straddle the top ledge of the bridge!
The woman quickly dialed 911 and gave the location and said that someone was about to jump off the bridge.
Screeching to a halt, the woman could scarcely believe what she saw, but quickly sprang into action. Without a concern for her own safety, she called to the girl gently to try to talk her down, but saw she was going to jump.
She was a very strong woman three times her size. It took every ounce of that strength to pull the teen off the side of the bridge. She had a bear-hug grip on her until the girl calmed down. She picked up the teen’s phone and helped her into the back seat of her truck.
The woman heard a voice on the other end of the line and put the receiver to her ear, asking whom she was speaking with. She told the friend that she had the girl safely in the back of her truck.
The mom and friend flew to a stop. The mom jumped out and ran to her daughter. She held her in her arms, but knew she could not cry. She had to be strong for her daughter.
The ambulance arrived and so did several police cars. They checked the daughter out, asked questions from all who were involved.
The ambulance drove the daughter to the hospital and when the mom got back into her car, she fell all to pieces, crying on her friend’s shoulder.
She was broken, their family was shattered, and she regretted not listening to God’s still small voice. She had been too busy…..Would they ever get over the bridge?
There are no doubt, hundreds of thousands of stories like this one–of different people from all walks of life, with different stories telling why they each wanted to take their own life. Some even sadly succeeded. 😭
I felt the need to tell the story from the other side/angle of the potential “suicide attempt.”–a parent’s view. We think we are alone and no one really cares whether we live or die. But that is just a lie told from the “father of lies.”
Not every case is the same. I know there are horrible stories of abuse that make people give up hope they will ever see their way at the end of the tunnel of what they’re going through. But most are like the case in this story, leaving behind a family and friends who love them dearly!
God is so good, just like in this story. He is always wanting to have a relationship with His children. We can hear Him, if we just listen to that still small voice.
Are we too busy to give a listening ear to someone in need of a friend? Then, my friend, we are way too busy! There is not a job, money, or any other thing in this world worth losing our family over or even our own soul!
If you are battling depression, reach out to someone you feel you can trust. A friend, a doctor, family. REACH OUT!!!
I know from battling depression after my mother died, I struggled for years, wanting to take my own life. I’m so glad I didn’t! Even on my worst days, I am so thankful for life!
Yes, sometimes life sucks! There’s no other way of putting it! We may wake up in lots of pain every day of the week. I feel you there! I’m in pain as I’m writing this! It’s a daily struggle for me these days!
Or we may be grieving some sort of loss. A lost loved one, finacial ruin, a lost job, divorce, loss of our independence.
But the fact is, life is worth the living! We have a future home called Heaven, if we endure!
There is an alternative that I don’t really care to talk about, it’s called hell. A place of torment, a place we doom our souls to, if we take our lives.
I’m here for you! If you are battling. I care. And more than even me, God cares what you are going through. He cares deeply! Hang in there! You are stronger than you give yourself credit for my friend!
YOU CAN GET OVER THE BRIDGE THAT IS IN YOUR LIFE. Tell it how big your God is! On the other side of that bridge is a brilliant sunshine, if you just keep the faith! 🙏🌞

through the Homes of thousands upon thousands of
Folks around the World Writing a 7 Million Word Free
Verse Long Form Poem as well as Public dancing
so many more Thousands of Homes of Human
Bodies and Souls in 11,581 Miles of doing that
in 70 Months too it is not often that i have found a
Random Stranger as Friendly as you Just as a nice
Person aLong this Global Trail so i am going to take
the effort and minutes today to share a rather long long
story with you as hehe that’s what i do best long hAha.. with
Smiles.. and Smiles again for me at Least i Both Act and Believe
that All That is Existence is Holy and Sacred Meaning and Purpose
Directed By God as All that is as We are the Orchestra and Symphony
And Play of Life that is also all that is God in other Words there is no Real
Escaping so we Best make the Best out of this Existence We Both Survive and Thrive
in as well as Die and Suffer in as the Life We Live too ranging from the Kingdom of Heave is at hand
Always Within in this Generation now to the other place.. Yes that of course exists Now as well for
Without Day
there is no
Night Shade
Without Trees
To Cover Sun
that list of Metaphors
is endless beyond iNfinity
for we too are Co-Creators
With God For all We come to feel
and sense about Life Either by way
of Holy and Sacred Gift for all that is God
Now as Life is Good in Meaning and Purpose
that we continue to co-Create in a place that is
no Mistaking in Flow out of time distance and space
as the Eternal Now of Heaven for those who are fortunate
enough to exist in Heaven now or for those who do not Seek
and Find Heaven now.. it may seem as distant as after a Dirt Nap
of Death but as the
Story of Jesus says
Let the Dead Bury
their Dead
the
Kingdom
of Heaven
the Kingdom
of God is neither
Here or there no wHere but
now within and true for those who do
seek and find Heaven now there is no mistaking
Now the Experience of the Eternal Nirvana and
Bliss of River Flow out of time distance and space..
true when folks asked Jesus what Heaven was like
he could only Offer Metaphors of Free Verse Poetry
to describe a place so far beyond what most People
in a place of worry and fear and even Hate experience
every day
in endless
life where time
is the Prison
and doubt
is a way of Life..
Hmm.. in Heaven now
within all is Faith all is Hope
All is Love all is Charity of giving
and sharing Love For Free true there
is no need for material goods not even a stitch
of Cultural Clothes one may remove one’s Sandals
Empty one’s Pockets and travel far and wide to spread this
Good News and for those who truly believe as John 14:12 says
Clearly with no Doubt they too with Faith and Love and Hope and
Charity of Giving And Sharing Love For Free Yes they too will do Greater
Works than Jesus too.. consuming others with the least Harm Possible
as true not every one experiences either Hell or Heaven at hand the
Same Way now too.. so of course the way Jesus teaches is to Love
Our Enemy yes the Adversary yes ‘the Devils’ as Much as God too
not in the Feel and Sense of Agreeing but in the Reality of
Forgiving Every Transgression now.. so we will Lift our
Souls up higher than the Adversaries who attempt
to take us away from the Heaven of Love that is
Real and Eternal now We Experience as
it is always worth noting that this
too shall pass away as God’s
Law is not only the
Balance of Loving
with Giving and Sharing
more than Taking and Hoarding
but Change is the Standard that always
Changes now.. as this will be Good News
And Naturally Bad News too for those who
either continue to rise to Heaven or Fall more
Towards the Hell at Hand now.. hmm.. so if Jesus
Will Forgive and Love every Adversary it makes for an
interesting inquiry how that moved to a scenario where Jesus
who clearly stated that you will do greater works than the Teacher
where Last is First and First is Last and the Meek Inherit the Earth
Strong enough not to raise a Fist against others and the Kingdom
of God as the Poor of Spirit also do who rise out of darkness and
come to understand both Hell and Heaven as they have fallen and
risen to both.. so how in the World did an all Forgiving Man Morph into
an all Torturing God for those who do not fall down on their Knees and
Worship this Humble Teacher.. yes of course there is the Revelation part of the
Bible too based on a Dream according to a Man Named John as Reported but of course
many many Decades after Jesus Died according to the Story of the Miraculous Rising too
as this of course was not a Man that Jesus even met during his lifetime then.. indeed this
John as reported was living in the Days of Nero and the Persecution of the Christians by
Nero who he Viewed as Anti-Christian yes Anti-Christ then and since then we have had
many Leaders and still do who Live a life Against every single one of the Beatitudes as
Reported by Matthew in Chapter Five of his Book of the New Testament too.. this other
John this John of Nero and the Persecution of Christians wished.. great disaster and
Torture forever on his Persecutors for them to fall and never rise again in Persecution
against the Christians again… of course if he did not hide his Message in Dream-
like Free Verse Poetry All Veiled as such to escape the View of those in Charge
in Ignorance from Understanding the Deeper Metaphors of his Fantastical Nightmarish
Free Verse Poetic Words.. neither his Deeper Message or he would last very long as Poets continue
to do this to this very date and very word my Friend.. Psychopathic Leaning Folks Don’t Understand
Metaphors of Figurative Language that house the Passions of our Emotions so Poetry is the Tool that
Psychopathic Leaning Individuals Have no way to discern the deeper message passes fully over their
Heart and Mind.. and both the Deeper Meanings of the Poetry and the Poet Messenger as such stays
alive for as long as Words Last and Breaths continue in life.. smiles my Friend as Night is Day and Day
is Night it stands to reason beyond reason in Poetic Intuition from God that where there are Greater Works
than Jesus verily and surely Hoped from a Humble Teacher for his Favorite Students too as they come through
too.. of course in a way when you love everyone everyone is favorite too but light will neither be dismissed or
ignored when bright enough to even be too big to see.. true folks may not take the effort to absorb all the light
but an impact it will always make not to be missed all together my Friend.. yes it stands to Poetic Intuition that
while there are Greater Works than Jesus in light that yes sadly and in terms of Hell there are greater Days
forever now spent in Hell too than just a 3 Hour to 3 Day tour before Rising out of Living Death again..
smiles you just happened to come across a Witness today of not only Heaven but Hell too my
Friend yes in terms of the Dark part of John 14:12 likely left out of the New Testament for
that is a place where even Demons will Fear to Tread.. God Gives Great Gifts of
Roses to All God’s Children but Night is Day and Day is Night Thorns are
Flowers and Flowers are Thorns to Generate all the Colors of Rose
that make Rose Lovely
and Loving
my Friend.
there is a ‘Gift’ called
Type Two Trigeminal Neuralgia
in Life all Natural My Friend the Cause
is not understood or the remission from same.
But it Happens to some folks as Life does too..
Yes Hell is real and it comes from a Disease named
the Real Suicide Disease too.. yes you can order a Book
on the Crucifixion of Jesus as my Mother Did to attempt to
Prove me wrong that my Pain was worse in terms of John 14:12
in the Hell i endured from Wake to Sleep for 66 Months with no
Pain relief with the Closest Metaphor to Describe as a Dentist Drill
with No Pain relief yes in my case in my Right eye and Ear as a Shut-in
in my Bedroom for 66 Months.. oh yeah.. 18 other Medical Disorders too as
a Synergy of Life Threatening Disorders in a Soul of Pain and Numb where
even all Emotions went away with no memory of even the feeling of a Smile
As Memories are Emotions and Emotions are Memories in this place of Hell
there is zero point reference back to Heaven my Friend of Feeling and Giving
And Sharing Love as Light Within.. of Heaven that is Real in River Flow out of time
Distance and Space for all in Company Fully of God.. yes my Friend in the Book my
Mother Ordered she got to read the part to me as she attempted to prove me wrong
that my Disease was the only disease assessed worse than the Real Torture of Crucifixion
but it didn’t matter to her even though i was her son.. she believed what folks told her on TV
instead.. the Disease i had is actually called the Suicide Disease for the first 40 days of the Severest
Part of the pain i only slept 1 hour each night for the first 35 days of that 40 days with a Powerful Alpha
Blocker to slow my heart rate down enough with the disorder of Dysautonomia too..Cardboard Shallow
Sleep barely out of consciousness my Friend.. the Last 5 of 40 no sleep at all somehow i found the strength
after not even being able to drag myself to bathe.. to get the Keys to my Car and Travel to a Bridge to Jump
off.. before that i Loved everything about life i felt like the luckiest Human in the World to have such a Loving
Wife.. then.. and Mother and Sister too.. i did not wanna die no way i even entertained that thought through
the Severest of Depressions in my Life Experience for Years in my Youth too.. but it is true not unlike the
Old Movie the ’10 Commandments’ as Moses was traveling through the desert for another 40 days as
Jesus was reported to do too.. the Narrator said Moses found then that there are some experiences
in Life worse than Death itself my Friend as i also sadly Learned too.. i did not jump off that Bridge
for i had not strength to get out of my Car and on top of that even if i did there were fishermen
below who would have likely risked their lives to pull me out.. my Sister miraculously
found me at the bottom of that Bridge she traveled straight to where i was having
no idea where i went.. i got in her Car Still with no Sleep and that Dentist
Drill in my Eye and ear.. i wanted to die to die just to escape Hell
on Earth not realizing that i had close to 5 Years more to
Endure then my Friend.. to make it through to the other
Side of Eternal Heaven again then now.. i wanted
her to stop the Car to just jump
off of a Board Walk into
Water less than over
my Head she sped 80 Miles
into the Country with her telling
me she could not live without a Brother
For you See we are Both Diagnosed on the
Autism Spectrum and bullied Horribly through
our Life Persevering by the skin of our teeth that
is the Love our Mother Unconditionally gave to us
until that one day that my Mother Had to choose what
the TV Said about Jesus over my Reality then my Friend..
of course i told my Sister no don’t wreck the Car to Kill us both
not you it was just about me not you.. so then i finally agreed to
go to the Hospital they found something strong enough to knock me
out.. i survived somehow through Hell a full 66 Months within on Earth
the Real place then just now just then where all was time and a second was
the equivalent of a thousand years of Hell as i never knew if could make it through
another Second of Life.. and it’s true i survived but i am not any ‘normal’ man.. i will
Smash my Finger Between 2-100 LB Iron Plates as i load up a Leg Press Machine
to still Press 1340 LBS at age 59.. and not even make a Sound my Friend just look
down and be happy my finger is still attached..and sure finish a work-out as i only
just began then.. sure that happened on Friday and i am typing all of this now in
Free Flow with no pain as if nothing even happened at all.. you see my Friend
how Would God come to Earth and Expect every Person to be Greater than
God if God is really Jesus and Jesus is Really God.. would not God
Forgive those who are Weaker than God.. smiles yet Jesus
clearly said he was the least and the least are the Greatest
in the Kingdom of Heaven now.. but you see my Friend
the Least are those who Love the Least the Most
and always forgive them
now.. i existed
in Hell as a Real
Devil on Earth who could
feel no feelings at all then for
66 Months yet God Forgave me
not any different than the ‘Story of Job’
i believe i hope that no one ever has to go
through what i went through now but come low
water of Hell as Zero or High Water of Heaven as Love
i surely will not be one to attempt to Judge any other Human
being now for you see when we are in Hell we figure out there
is no escaping God but Returning to God.. as Love as Love as Love
as
Love
as Love
Jesus was
is correct the
story at Least
Love is all you
need to Feel and give
and share for free.. Heaven
is real and Hell is too but after
a Human Being is Damned to
Hell if they really are they will never
ever Damn another Part of Existence when they Return to Heaven Eternally Now Again..
Ever Again my Friend and this is how i know/feel/sense who ‘Jesus’ is as True or False…
Smiles my Friend if this is too overwhelming for Your Blog please feel free to delete
it without any worry of Hurting my Feelings.. it’s all about Perspective this existence
is as far as i feel and sense there is no random in life all is Holy and Sacred Meaning
and Purpose i help co-Create with God Living in me Free too.. You Helped to inspire
these Words no matter what you will do next You are a Gift to me i feel and sense and
to God
too.. those
of God are most
fortunate who live
in Heaven having what
it takes to forgive ‘Devils’ too..
this message is no different/same than
the message ‘Jesus’ the Story still Delivers
there is no left or right of Truth in Light my Friend..
the Story is words there is no denying what is said
when what is said is written my Friend However still
the understandings as Meanings of Words Now Are still
endless
in metaphors
to understand Differently same
on the ‘other hands’ my Friend..
by the way my Poem is not Just
a Poem it’s a Bible and John 14:12
gives me full authority to write one that is Greater…
not just in terms of size of 8 times larger either my Friend in 70 Months of Public Dance too..
and never one now to generate a single ‘Read’ Lincoln Sent Penny for me at least..
God Will Never “Need” to be Worshipped but for those who do not appreciate All
of Dark Thru Light
God’s Gifts they
fall they fall….
in both
Dark
And Light..
As Either and Neither
Thunder or Lightening and both
As truly tHere is No Difference Now

Thank you for your kind words! I also believe that things are never random in this life. God has great plans to prosper and not harm us. (Jeremiah 29:11) That was very sweet to say that I was an inspiration for your poem. 😄 I don’t take any credit here, but give it all to the Christ who lives within me! He is my all in all! My peace and harmony through any chaos! 😄 He has great plans for us all! He gives us a hope and a future just like Job came out on the other side of his trial a better person and twice blessed for all he lost. Everything is ordained by God, even the good and the bad. They mold us and shape us into vessels that can be used of Him. That is where the scripture you talked about comes in—He wants us to do better and greater things than He and for and through Him, but not in a sense to become our own god—We were created to worship Him! I know there will some who would misunderstand that. He is the author and Creator of this whole wonderful world of ours! I’m so sorry you went through all of that turmoil in your life! It sounds like you have lived in “hell on earth.” Have you heard the song, “God Only Knows,” by For King & Country? Watch the video on YouTube. It will bless you. I’m so glad you survived the bridge! And you have found an outlet to being happy—through dancing. 😄🕺And stay strong my friend! God Bless!

Friend
the Greatest
Gift of any Teacher
is when the student
Does Greater Works than

Just for fun a Song at Church

Smiles my Friend the Young Folks are in Large Numbers are no
longer Going to Church and Jesus is dying Yet Again for few will
stand up now against those who will not Love/Feed the poorest
and least among us no matter where they are from..
There is no Greater Politics than the Message of
Love i live in an area that was a Record Breaker
with the Most Churches per square mile
Generally speaking People are nice
outside of Church Walls but
the Cruelty against ‘the
other’ and against
‘those who are Different’
is as Dark and Ugly’ as
Any that’s continued my Entire
Life as Witness to Fear and Hate
of Different As A Substitute for Hope
and Love for All until More Christians are willing
to Call out and change the Course of that Human
Intention of Darkness against those who are Different
Within the Walls of Churches too supporting Giving and Sharing and Accepting and
Loving all Human Beings Jesus continues to Gasp for Breath with only the Gray Hairs
Left who still sadly demand that only this and that one is Good enough for Love now
And even Basic
Subsistence in
Humanity
Worthy
Needs..
never the
less i forgive
them and manage
in my Heart my
Spirit and
Soul
to still
go and
Dance and
Sing a Song and
Dance of Love to them..
the Music is Good the Commandment
of Love is Greater Reflecting in the Music from what i’ve
Felt and Sensed from Studying all Religions for Decades my Friend..
With that said i get along fine with anyone as Long as Love is the Common
Denominator Jesus the Story was correct about the Greatest Force of Healing Love when
Harming no others my Friend.. worthy verily of a Name even a 3 letter one Named God..:)

I think we all need to listen to our gut feelings and those little whispers that come from God. I’m so thankful He leads us, if we listen. He loves us that much! And yes, it was hard to write! I cried like a baby. It’s hard to have anxiety and depression. Both my daughters deal with it, as well.

Reblogged this on Something to Stu Over and commented:
I can’t wait a month to include this in my post pics because it’s a God thing!
The Holy Spirit prompted Renee and myself to both write on the subject of suicide Sunday. This powerful post almost had me crying at work today. Her story is just so moving!
Please take a few minutes out of your day to read Renee’s story. I will make you feel as if you are right there while everything is going on.
Superbly done Renee! Thank you for following His voice and writing this ❤

This is such a difficult topic Renee and one that is so very important. That feeling of hopelessness can be overwhelming. God bless you for writing handling this topic so beautifully. God bless you.

Every time I read this kind of story my heart goes to those I love who have committed suicide. It leaves us with so many questions filled with deep grief. My brother is suffering from it now as his son shot himself a year ago. It’s always hard to know what to say to him or what not to say because the grief is so deep and raw. Thank you for posting this, I know those who have been this before will appreciate your words and heart in it.

Oh dear Betty! I am so sorry that your family has been touched by suicide! It’s a grief that leaves you wondering if there was something you could have done or said differently….My brother in law shot himself years ago. It hurt me so bad. I had just practically felt the need to urge him to go to church with me. I couldn’t get him to go. I tried. But I lived in guilt for years….And then a dear friend’s husband shot himself, but survived. It left his face disfigured. It almost destroyed their children. Their son still suffers from the trauma. My heart goes out to you and your family! I will be praying that God gives y’all a release in peace. There are some things we have no control over. We just have to release them into God’s hands. 😢🙏🏻Only God can get us through those kinds of times.
