“Healing is not always an event, sometimes it’s a process.” – Dr. Eddie M. Connor, Jr.!
Have you ever been emotionally, psychologically, relationaly, or spiritually broken? Just limping through life. Smiling on the outside, hurting on the inside to where you cry yourself to sleep, night after night.
As a survivor of stage 4 cancer, I’m a living witness that healing is not always an event, sometimes it’s a process. The process of being healed takes time, patience, and commitment. You can be dealing with scars and wounds, while healing from them at the same time. As God is healing you, He is revealing greater strength in you.
One of the greatest consolations, is in knowing, there is a purpose through the process. There is a message through the mess, and a testimony through your test. The strength discovered in life, derives from how you handle what you go through. I’m a believer that 10% of life is what happens to us, 90% is how we proactively move forward, as a result. There are things that you may never get over, they just have to be managed. More than going through, you have to GROW through every hurt and disappointment!
You may say, “I’ve been hurt and I don’t know, if I can ever love again.” Yes we’ve been hurt, but we have also hurt others too. I’m sure you’ve heard the expression, “Hurting people, hurt people.” There is much truth and pain, in the simplicity of the statement. Simply because, if the hurt within has not been healed, it will flow through one’s life and afflict others. On the contrary, healed people, heal people and loving people, love other people. What flows through you is a direct reflection of what is in you.
You can survive and thrive in spite of heartbreak, loss, and broken relationships. Realize that what God has brought you through, is an indication of where He can take you. Let it go, so you can grow. Forgive, so you can live your best life!!
Rid yourself of toxic relationships, drama, and negativity. If the people in your life are not ADDING to you, do some Math and SUBTRACT them from your life. The right relationships will add to you and multiply your value. Start attracting the positive and repelling the negative. Love yourself! You have greatness, peace, and joy within. You’re pregnant with purpose, promise, possibility, and potential. Give birth to it and walk in healing!!
No amount of money or material possessions, can determine your value. You, yes YOU are priceless. Know your worth. Appreciate who you are. Embrace your gifts. Live with purpose, love yourself, heal your heart, and reveal Your greatness within!!
Blessings!

Just recently I had a privilege to meet Dr. Eddie Connor – within a few minutes of his presentation I was able to grasp the true meaning of the statement “Healing is a Process“. The process to which no one can assign time to how long it will take as it is unique to you, and one must be patient and surrender to the purpose.
Dr. Connor is an Author of several books, International Speaker, College Professor, Minister, Mentor, Political Advisor, Teacher, and Radio/TV Correspondent on CBS/CW 50 who empowers people “to overcome obstacles and walk in their unique purpose.”
