LUMBER RIVER STATE PARK, NORTH CAROLINA: An apparent close friend of South Carolina pastor John-Paul Miller's wife took to social media to cast doubt on the narrative surrounding her supposed suicide. 

Mica Miller was discovered with a fatal gunshot wound to her head on April 27, in Lumber River State Park, North Carolina. 

During his April 28 service at Solid Rock at Market Common in Myrtle Beach, her husband, John-Paul, revealed the news of her wife's death, saying that it was "self-induced" and that Mica "wasn’t well mentally."

Mica Miller's close friend reveals 'that she felt like an orphan' before her sudden death

In the Facebook post, Mica's friend stated that the pastor's wife was done with the marriage and that she hired a lawyer to file for divorce. 

The post read, "Mica wasn't just leaving a church. She was leaving her marriage. She was done! She hired a lawyer. She moved out and she was getting a divorce. She was left with nothing but her faith, her family and her small circle of friends. Was it hard? YES." 

It further added, "She had her tires cut multiple times, found multiple trackers on her car, couch hopped in fear of being found and was hospitalized by her husband when it was completely unnecessary."

"She confided to me that she felt like an orphan and feared that no church would want her because of him. What she didn't know is that a large portion of us who had experienced the wrath of exiting that church, were waiting for her with open arms," mentioned the friend. 

The friend concluded, "I talked to her multiple times in her final week here on earth. She was making plans to get her hair cut, getting help with her car payment because she was a little short after PAYING HER DIVORCE LAWYER and planning to meet us for the second service at church on Sunday. My final text with her on Friday at 9:19 pm was a woman making plans to live !!!!"

In another post, Mica's friend expressed shock and sadness over how her death was being portrayed. 

She wrote, "What happened between Friday (April 26) night and Saturday (April 27)? I was so overwhelmed seeing 2 certain people on the news last night trying to minimize Mica by painting her mentally ill and crying like they were currently present in her life."

"THEY WERE NOT !!!! She wasn't having a mental meltdown when the scales were lifted from her eyes and she walked away! SHE WAS A WARRIOR WEARING THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD !!!!" stressed the agitated friend. 

Mica Miller thanked her friend for gentle warnings about her relationship

Mica's supposed conversation with one of her friends was shared on a Facebook group. 

The text she sent on April 5 read, "Thank you for your gentle warnings throughout the years regarding my relationship with Jp. I know that you knew I wasn't ready to get out but looking back your warnings were very helpful when trying to make tough life decisions."

Mica added, "Definitely have replayed our convo's in my head over and over throughout the years and wished there was something I could do to get out. And now I've done it:)."

In one of her Facebook posts, Mica also revealed that she was "going through a lot" in her life and advised her audience to "keep worshiping" as she was "worshiping Jesus." She even insisted the viewers to "keep praying" for her.

Officials claim that there isn't a public threat at the moment. Following Mica's death, family members demanded a thorough investigation into the incident.
