This month’s teen is Logan.
If someone said the word overcome to you, what would you think of?
When I hear the word “overcome”, I think of God and I think of how He can get you past difficult times. He even helped Jesus overcome hatred and sent him to die on the cross for us.
What is the opposite of overcoming to you?
I think that the opposite of “overcome“ is to give up. Overcoming means powering through a tough time.
What famous person do you think overcame well?
I think Martin Luther King Jr. did this well. This is because he had to get past all of the people who hated him and his race. He also not only overcame their hate for him, but he forgave them as well.
Who is someone you know who has overcome?
My mom had to overcome a lot the past three years. Her dad died and our 22 year old dog died a month ago. But she stayed strong, and that’s what overcoming looks like to me.
What is something you’ve had to overcome?
I overcame anxiety. When I was 11 I had some anxiety issues that really scared me. However, God helped me to overcome those issues. At the time, I thought I would never get past it. But with the support of my family, my faith and a therapist I did.
