I took my daughter to see the movie Overcome when it was in theaters, we loved it and it was great to watch it again and again at home, as it has such a powerful message.
This year our daughter was the only girl running for her school on the middle school team and it was hard on her. This was such a inspiring movie and thankful she was able to hear the message and the words her dad and I have been saying all along. If she wanted to run with someone, she would have to run with the boys or the coach. It was a hard season for her, trying to find her place. She pushed and pushed herself this year and with each race her time got better and better. When it came to the final conference meet, she knew she had to push herself even more. As I awaited at the finish line, I heard the cheers as the first runner was coming. Imagine my surprise, when I saw it was my daughter. I was screaming, crying and in shock. She took first place at the last meet and was conference champion! She was my little overcomer this year!
Whether you are a fan of Christian movies, Kendrick brother fans, a cross country runner or looking for a powerful inspirational film, then this is perfect for you. It is a trully amazing film that we will watch again and again.
