You wanted her opinion, her advice is solid and on the money.
Oh my goodness, yes!
I'm glad you're finding some comfort.
To get God's best for you, you have to be obedient. Otherwise you will block the blessings. God lays the path for his best right before us --- It's open and clear...and straight ahead.
But the other paths look a little interesting...but they don't lead to the same place.
When these feelings come up....give yourself a stop. If you're a visual person, do the stop sign technique. I'm a more audio/kinestic person.....So I need a physical barrier, which isn't realistic....or audio.....I use self-talk. Get yourself a phrase.....and just stick it in your head.
And THEN...go do something nice for yourself.
