Project Overcomers

It has been a long while since I posted anything on my blog. Been quite busy with academics,  full time job with a full time life. But today, I decided to write something that came to me on Sunday evening. This past Sunday (Nov 3rd, 2013) after a long day from work and church, and being exhausted, I decided to go on Instagram, and I saw a picture of a beautiful Lady in a wheel chair. First I thought it was an ordinary chair, but I decided to look further; it was actually a wheel chair. Then I decided to do some further investigations. I clicked on her instagram handle and I saw all her pictures, and then I remembered years ago, I read her story of how she got into a car accident. While looking at her pictures, what went through my mind was "How did she do it?" That was all I was saying to myself. How did this young woman do it? Smiling, and she looking so gorgeous and happy. I also found out that she was able to finish her Nursing degree. I wanted to reach out to her to ask her my questions. Then something told me to start something, called "Project Overcome". At first I was skeptical and I said to myself no one  would take me serious. But after having a conversation with a friend, I decided to go ahead with it, because great things starts with something as LITTLE as an idea.
It is simple, the process of this project is for people who have been through various struggles and pain, and they have a reason to smile and they have gained the title "OVER COMERS". It is not a contest, but it is a way to encourage others out there who have been through the same issues as you, but didn't know how to handle it or even overcome it. The main reason why I think this project is important is for people to come out of their closets of fear of what people might think of them or what the world things. The main purpose is to help those who are currently facing a difficult time in their lives right now and need some form of encouragements to help them move on.
I am an over comer, and I am still over coming certain things in my life as I speak. But I can beat my chest and say that I have been through hell in my life and back. Some of the issues were hand made by me (Yes, sometimes we create our downfalls and problems), but some were some circumstances that we just found ourselves in that we couldn't control.
Not to bore any one reading this, if you know anyone or you call yourself an over-comer, you can send your emails to me at sarah.k.nwosu@gmail.com, and it will be published on my blog. I know so many people would prefer some privacy, I respect that. No names at all will be mentioned, but it is for you to help others and also encourage someone who may be experiencing what you have been through.
