Please pray for my 17 year old daughter's safety, that the Lord is watching over her and protecting her from harm. I just filed a missing persons report with the Columbus Police Department about an hour ago, when it became apparent that I was not going to get the usual call from her letting me know where she was.
I left for work at 10:45 am and the last thing she said was that she was going to get her hair cut. No e-mail, no phone calls to me throughout the course of the day, which struck me as odd, because we hadn't had any harsh words and life seemed to be great. I got off work at 9 pm and she wasn't home, which isn't unusual because she spends alot of time with Young Life. Hours passed, no phone call. By 2 I was nearly hysterical with worry. I have left messages on her friends' cell phones hoping for a call back. I am sorry to say that I was not able to give the officer a description of what she was wearing, only a picture.
This is SO out of character for this young lady. She's always been the responsible one, even though she has been suffering from Senior-itis this year and has tested the boundaries to the limit. I am so frightened thinking of the possibilities here that I don't know where to turn, and I would appreciate your prayers tonight. I am hoping that perhaps she told me she'd be sleeping over tonight at a friend's house, but I have racked my brain, and frankly, I just don't remember any conversation like that taking place. (I haven't had a day off in 3 weeks.)
Hope you have had good news by now, but I'm bumping the thread.
Prayers on the way for her safe and quick return!
I can see there has been no news. I am keeping your daughter in my prayers. And will keep checking the thread for updates.

She'll be home safe and sound, Sunshine. The police get calls from worried Moms EVERY night, and the kids turn up safe. Prayers are with you for your motherly worries. God bless.
Prayers are for a safe return of your daughter.

Prayer Bump
Prayers going up.
You have my deepest prayers.
Father Lord we pray for the safe return of this missing young lady. In the name of Jesus, amen.
Prayers for your daughter's safety. I've had this same worry so many times, but there always turned out to be a misunderstanding of some sort.
Prayer BUMP!
I sleep very lightly (only about 2 hours in any one stretch). I was up when the lady first posted about her missing daughter. Woke up a minute ago and my first thoughts were to check on an update. Appears that Sunshine55 hasn't returned since her last post. Continued prayers and thoughts for the daughter's safe return.
Prayers continue.
Praying.
Praying for a safe return. I have three daughters and can't imagine how you feel.
