My word of advice is, don't live by feeling. I've found myself there before just like everyone else has, "well this will feel really awesome, even though it's not pleasing to God, I know it'll make me happy".
Feelings are a funny thing, a little rush of adrenaline and happiness sends us wanting more. Most times we're obeying God it's even by feeling. But it's our own flesh, and it's hard to escape. And that's why I'm writing this, because even though I may be going through tough times and everything feels terrible I know I don't have to make my decisions based on that. I'm gonna use my situation to do what's best for God, give Him the glory, and be patient enough to wait and see how His plan will unfold. Because I know every time I go through something hard I am changed by it, so instead of being completely depressed I'm almost excited. It's like watching a toy go down an assembly line. Every time it dissapears into a place where a part it added it comes out looking different. I'm waiting to see how I'll look and it makes me happy. Feelings aren't all bad, but I'll let God be the one that makes me happy.

romans 8:28, just trust God.
You're watching the toy go down the line little by little, He already knows the finished result. : )
God has grown you so much and he continues to do so and I enjoy seeing the *toy go down the assembly line* all the while still giving God glory in your life! Praise God!
