"Be An Overcomer"

As I sit down to write this blog, there are moments running through my head where I have had to overcome an obstacle put in my path. My personal platform: “Be An Overcomer” is about helping others overcome obstacles they have presented within their life. It could be anywhere from bullying all the way to college financial struggles. I know how hard it can be sitting at the bottom, looking up at the mountain of an obstacle sitting there, thinking: “How do I overcome this?” Well, you won't be overcoming it alone.

This idea actually came from the song by Mandisa: Overcomer. In the song she says “You’re an Overcomer, stay in the fight till the final round. You’re not going under, cause God is holding you right now.” When this song comes drifting through the speakers, my heart feels with this sense of rightness and joy.  As much as we hate it, life has a tendency to throw obstacles at us right and left. That does not mean that we can overcome them! Those obstacles will only make you better and stronger. They are all a part of the journey to who you are meant to be.

Over the past few years I have done a lot of work with Bullying prevention and I felt that the platform “Be an Overcomer” ties in well with bullying! I plan to continue to do much work with bullying prevention since it is near and dear to my heart but I also wanted to expand my platform to cover many other issues teens face today! Some of these issues include:  bullying issues, college financial struggles, the struggles of a bad home life or broken homes, academic struggles, or overcoming any obstacle you may have that gets in the way of you being the confident, healthy person God created you to be.

These are only a few examples of the struggles we face and have to overcome. The key word in that list is: OVERCOMING. You can overcome it. All you need is motivation and support. Always remember…”If God be for you, who be against YOU.”

BE AN OVERCOMER!
