Why?

I got a 5:30 a.m. call this morning from our youth pastor. One of the kids in our youth group committed suicide last night. It came as a complete shock. This was a beautiful, smart, strong 15 year old girl who came from a great Christian family. I sat stunned for several minutes, the tears still haven't come, and now I am feeling sick to my stomach. Why? I saw no signs of this in her at all! I have struggled so much with depression so you would think I could recognize it. Last Sunday, at our youth service, she was so happy and smiling. My heart is hurting so much for her family. At this point I have no details. I hope that she left a note letting us all know what was going through her mind. I just took this last Sunday. Tinu is on the left.

So please pray for Tinu's family, pray for our youth group (Tinu was so loved), pray for our church and pray that God would give me wisdom in how to help these teens deal with and understand this suicide because at the moment I don't understand.
