The Knockout Mentality

I'm Ready to Be Healed...

Oh, this hits close to home right now. I had rotator cuff surgery five weeks ago, and I am still sitting here in the sling typing this out. I haven’t been able to drive, do my hair, or put on my makeup correctly. It’s been a struggle to complete the simple daily tasks I normally do—cooking, cleaning, writing… “all the things,” as the younger generation says.

I have found myself saying, “I can’t wait to be healed,” but if I think about it, the downtime has taught me so much. I’ve learned not to take things for granted. I’ve sat and studied new skills I would have previously overlooked or not paused to learn. I have been creative and reflective, something I would have rushed through life and overlooked or not attempted to do. I’ve also had the chance to reshape my system and schedule for my life, receiving the rest that was needed. All of these things I would not have experienced if I were healed physically.

See, this time has allowed me to heal mentally and internally. It’s shown me who will show up for me sincerely. When you’re down, God will show you your village. When you’re not in the mix, or when you’re broken and isolated, healing…God will place your true crew in your space. He will separate the “men from the boys,” and for elevation, you need that clarity! It has also allowed me to lock into God tighter! What a wonderful feeling! There’s nothing like His presence!

So now, when I say, “I am ready to be healed,” I mean I am ready to go through the slow process of breakdown and repair, so when I come out, I will be stronger, faster, and more clear-minded, as well as whole in spirit.

Are you ready to be healed?

God loves you, and so do I. 💚 He has given you a gift; open it! 🎁
