Legacy Letter to My Supporters

Today, I received a message from Evelyn, a longtime supporter of my ministry. This is just one of her many letters of support over the year. Each one of them has lifted my spirit and motivated me to continue doing what I have been doing.

Evelyn's Message

Evelyn wrote:

“Today, I read ‘Legacy Letter to My Students’ and ‘A Fictional Letter to Me From Robert Browning.’ I’ve verbalized it in the past, and I’m doing the same again today: YOU ARE A PHENOMENAL WOMAN OF GOD. You were predestined to be a writer. Peace and blessings.”

Evelyn's words settled into my spirit like a butterfly landing gently on a windowsill—unexpected, beautiful, and deeply affirming. Her message was more than a compliment. It was a confirmation. It is a reminder that the seeds I’ve sown over the years have taken root in hearts I may never know on this side of heaven. They have tasted the fruit of my labor and have walked with me, prayed with and for me, and believed in me.

This letter is for Evelyn—and for every supporter who has stood beside me through seasons of growth, transition, and transformation. You have read my devotionals and my articles as soon as they appeared in your inboxes. You have whispered “Amen” to spiritual advice. You have called me “phenomenal” when I felt ordinary. You have reminded me that I was predestined to write, even when I questioned the impact of my words. Some of you have even sent love offerings to support my ministry.

Your support has been more than applause—it has been sacred. You have not only cheered for my ministry, but you have helped shape it. You have not only read my words, but you have tested them with me. You have not only believed in my calling, but you have blessed it with your own.

When I wrote the "Legacy Letter to My Students," I was reflecting on the sacred bond between teacher and learner. When I imagined "A Fictional Letter from Robert Browning," I was channeling longing, creativity, and divine companionship. And when Evelyn responded with such affirmation, I realized that my legacy is not mine alone—it is shared. It is held in the hearts of those who have walked this journey with me.

To all my supporters: you are part of every butterfly I release. You are woven into every legacy letter I write. You are the reason I continue to teach, mentor, write, and bless. Your encouragement has been the wind beneath my wings, the oil in my lamp, and the echo in my prayers.

A Blessing to All My Supporters

I thank God for you—not with a period, but with a prayer. Not with a pause, but with a continuation. May your own legacy be rich with transformation. May your support return to you as joy, healing, and divine favor. May you know that your kindness was never wasted—it was planted, and it blooms in me.

Romans 12:2 reminds us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. I believe that transformation is not just personal—it’s communal. When one of us grows, we all rise. When one of us is affirmed, we all shine. When one of us is called “phenomenal,” it is a reflection of God because we are fearfully and wonderfully made, according to Psalm 139:14.

So to Evelyn, and to every supporter who has ever whispered a prayer, sent a message, shared a post, or believed in me—I say, "Thank you!" You are part of my story. You are part of my ministry. You are part of my legacy.

With eternal gratitude,
