I would like to share to you one of my favorite songs. I first heard this song "Overcomer" by Mandisa when I was in a very difficult situation. I left home, lived in a place where I don't have friends, took care of my daughter alone, no one really understood my mood not until I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I get all stares and side comments why I am too fat, always grumpy and moody. I woke up each day telling myself I have to get out of bed and take care of my child, feed her, bath her, play with her, and read to her. Upon hearing the song, I shook myself up saying, I am an Overcomer. I can surpass this day, and the next day, and the next. It was difficult at first but day after day, I overcame little struggles and now glad to say it, from 95 kgs, now I'm down to 80 kgs. I have good sleep, I got the job that I prayed for, with lesser stress and a wonderful environment. I may not be earning a lot for now but I did something for myself. God truly is wonderful that He would allow certain trials in one's life so that a person encountering such would be able to empathize with others, learn from own mistakes and be able to stand up and be The Overcomer.
