The Mistake of My Life
A window into my life/brain/heart...
As a rule, I'm against posting song lyrics. But on occasion, one will occur to me that fits so perfectly with my situation at the moment that it cannot be ignored. As such, here are the lyrics to the Caedmon's Call song
I'm in love, never been so sure of anything
Then again, could be a tumor in my brain
Tricking me into thinking that we were meant to be
Either way, I'm about to shock my family
And my hometown again
'Cause this time I'm leaving
Once I'm gone I cannot look back
I've got to trust this is right
Maybe I'm on my way to find you
Maybe I'm gonna make the mistake of my life
Since we met my life's been so up in the air
Here today but by next week I could be there
On the street struggling to support my newest vice
With a sign that says 'I will work for love advice.'
'Cause I will mow your lawn
If you'll tell me what I'm doing wrong
But I'll leave the car runnin'
And I'll leave half the boxes packed
For the slim chance I'll go right back
Once I'm gone I cannot look back
I've got to trust this is right
Maybe I'm on my way to find you
Maybe I'm gonna make the mistake of my life
Now, the good news is that, by God's grace and the intervention of a handful of dear, loving, compassionate brothers and sisters in Christ, I am actually NOT about to make the mistake of my life. I have to say though, it was a close call.
Give me a few weeks, and I'll post the whole sordid tale.
You are so loved!

I think I know what you're talking about. If so, I think you made the right decision. It's crazy how emotions can be affected by circumstances. I've totally been there, and I'm glad I didn't make any big mistakes then, too.
