Review for Overcomers Daughters of the King of Kings, La Vernia, TX, USA
God placed angels in my path Throughout my Breast cancer journey. Several of these angels would begin telling me about this wonderful organization - Overcomers. Feeling broken and lost and discouraged, I started researching the group, hoping that God was leading me to where I needed to be. Finally I had enough courage to sign up for the fall workshop. On the first night of the workshop, I was blessed with a sense of sisterhood and support. The workshop helped me process the effects of what a breast cancer diagnosis can do to someone’s life. Finally, I was surrounded by women who knew exactly how I felt, Surrounded by Women who have experienced what I had been through, And immediately surrounded by love and support and encouragement. This group has taught me that I am not alone as I walk this journey. The fall retreat was also amazing. It further helped me heal from the brokenness that I was feeling after chemo and radiation. It rekindled the fire that I needed to start the next phase of my journey - diep flap reconstruction. I left the workshops and the retreat with a deeper relationship with God and a renewed faith in God’s plan for me. Because I have been so blessed by this beautiful organization, I have joined the leadership team to serve other women who have been affected by breast cancer. God is blessing me in so many ways through servant leadership and I am forever grateful to Overcomers for the huge impact it has had on my life and the lives of so many other women. Praise be to God!
