Icky, but I really want this
So, yesterday was not the best day for me. I felt lonely, sorry to say. I think I was isolating a little bit. It was such a beautiful day, but I didn't go out all day long leading to those feelings of isolating. I was doing some work on a huge event I have coming up and I did have some time to go out but I didn't do it. As a result of being boarded up all day, it brought on some icky feelings about not being in a relationship. I was watching stupid movies on TV that made me cry and I just felt a-l-o-n-e. The negative self-talk started. However, I did catch myself and I went to my previous assignment, the one in which I wrote out all the cruel things I say to myself and the positive counter to each thing. Thank you, God, that I did that because it immediately helped pull me out. The truth is that God will put that person in my life when I am ready for him. Right now, I don't think I am. I mean, I am ready, but not in the bigger, global sense. I desire to have that relationship in my life, but I still have some more recovering to do and some more loving myself stuff to do before I can be truly ready for all that this man, whomever he is, has to give to me and vice versa. I don't want to hurt anyone, including myself. It's just not fair. I still acknowledge that I feel lonely, but I am never alone and I am so glad I had the foresight to go to my assignment to help me remember that.

I have the same tendency, to isolate myself when I'm not feeling "well." In fact, I've been thinking about it a lot lately, and trying to not do it! Like you said, it just makes it worse. I'm glad you were able to pull out of the downward spiral so quickly! That's really cool. :)
And the man you talked about... I think you are dead on. That when you're really ready, he'll be there.
You are very wise in your own council and you are correct in your thinking. It's all about his timing. God brings people into our lives as just the right time.
