...When I stroke my paths/selections I can't select the inside area, it'll only select the drawn lines. How do you guys color in the area? Do you just color the area then erase from the outline? or select the outline and delete that space on the colored area layer?..

Try and develop a work flow that suits whatever image editing you are doing. This might not suit if you are editing, say an animation but it is one way to keep control.

This is my path, showing both layers and paths dialogues for clarity. Made a layer group and a layer for the outline. Stroked that path or it could be a straight forward selection.



Now this is a selection, from the path (or it is the previous selection) and in a new layer, in the layer group, the selection is bucket filled.



That gives the option, by toggling layer visibility, for just the filled area or just the outline or both. Plus the option to edit either in the future. (if you save as a Gimp .xcf file)
