Our local Thai friend just lost his friend to suicide. This is never easy. Too many questions always unanswered.
Two nights ago, about 2:00 AM, I woke up with the words to this song repeating and running through my mind. Don’t know why, perhaps I was subconsciencely thinking about my friend.
John 14:6 – Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life…” We can only find our way through life by choosing Jesus. He shows us the way, gives us truth, and gives us a complete and meaningful life.

I Choose Life
I wake up to the same old room
Same cracked paint, same tired moon
Bills on the table, shoes by the door
Some days I don’t know what I’m here for
My hands still shake when dawn comes through
But I’m still breathing, still making it through
I don’t need perfect, I don’t need grand
Just one more morning in my own hands
If today is heavy
I’ll still take the weight
If the road is rough
I’ll still meet the day
I choose life
I choose life
Even when it hurts
I choose life
I choose life
This one, this first
I’ll hold on tight
I choose life
Heaven knows every scar I hide
Every bad break, every sleepless night
But there’s a hope under all that pain
A stubborn spark that still says my name
I may not glow, I may not shine
But I’m still here and it feels like mine
One more breath, one more step outside
One more chance to stay alive
If the dark comes calling
I’ll let it pass
I don’t need forever
Just need to last
I choose life
I choose life
Even when it hurts
I choose life
I choose life
This one, this first
I’ll hold on tight
I choose life
I’ve carried more than I can say
And still I made it here today
So let the storm keep testing me
I am not done, I am still me
I choose life
I choose life
Even when it hurts
I choose life
I choose life
This one, this first
I’ll hold on tight
I choose life
