These quotes pretty much sums up me the past couple months, so it just seemed right to post it. =)  It makes me feel sort of young and immature when I think of the things that God still has to pull me through... emotions, and all that good stuff.  But it's good to realize that I'll always need Him, and He'll always be teaching me. And that sometimes it takes something crazy for Him to do that. =P

"Faith is dependence upon God. And this God-dependence only begins when the self-dependence ends. And self-dependence only comes to its end, with some of us, when sorrow, suffering, affliction, broken plans and hopes bring us to that place of self-helplessness and defeat. And only then do we find that we have learned the lesson of faith; to find our tiny craft of life rushing onward to a blessed victory of life and power and service undreamt of in the days of our fleshly strength and self-reliance." 
-James McConkey

"It is a great thing to learn faith: that is, simply dependence upon God. It will comfort you much to be assured that the Lord is teaching you dependence upon Himself, and it is very remarkable that faith is necessary in everything. 'The just shall live by faith, not only in your circumstances, but in everything. I believe the Lord allows many things to happen on purpose to make us feel our need of Him. The more you find Him in your sorrows or wants, the more you will be attached to Him and drawn away from this place where the sorrows are, to him in the place where He is." 
-J.B. Stoney

It is great thing to learn faith!  It is a great thing to learn to lean on the shoulder of your Lord, and not on your own knowledge.  Praise be to Him who allows sorrows and wants (and defeat!) to bring us to a place where we are moving onward to a blessed victory of life!
