Absolutely. No matter what stupid thing you've ever said or done.....what mistakes you've made in jobs or relationships - the idea that you can, indeed, wipe the slate clean and start fresh is what that voice is telling you. Follow the voice.

Be careful you can be vulnerable

I think many people hand onto religion because they don't want to start over, when most of their friendships, social activites and sense of community and belonging are rooted in whatever church they attend.

Be cautious, but not so afraid that you cheat the heart out of life.

It is scary when you start, but within 20 minutes of driving my kids & myself away from my 32 year marriage I felt so free & right. Yet even with the car being packed I wasn't sure I could do it--I just had to make that quick leap before I thought about it too much.

Agreed. i wrote a sermon on that topic.

Just because you are paranoid does not mean that they are not really out to get you.
