To the Beautiful Ladies of New Vision,
My heart is overflowing with gratitude. Thank you for every gift, every hug, every encouraging word, every prayer, and every expression of love you showed me yesterday. You may never fully know what it meant to me.
The past 5ยฝ years since answering the call to an elected office on a City Council -it has been some of the most difficult years our family and church have ever walked through. We have endured attacks, accusations, disappointments, public criticism, private pain, loss, and moments when simply continuing to stand required more strength than people could see. There were days when I smiled while hurting, served while tired, encouraged others while needing encouragement myself, and kept believing God while asking Him, โLord, how much longer?โ
But yesterday reminded me that God has not forgotten meโand neither have His daughters.
When you blessed me, you werenโt simply giving me gifts. You were telling me, โWe see you. We appreciate you. We are standing with you. Keep going.โ And I received every bit of that love.
I preached, โWho Is God?โ and although no one came forward to receive Christ, I believe seeds were planted, hearts were strengthened, and the congregation was fed. Sometimes the evidence of a successful sermon is not who walks down the aisle that Sundayโit is what God does with the Word after everyone goes home.
Ladies, thank you for helping me remember that after everything we have endured, we are still here. We are still worshipping. Still serving. Still loving. Still building. Still believing. Still standing.
What the enemy intended to break us has driven us closer to God. And after 5ยฝ years, I can still testify: God kept us.
Thank you for loving your First Lady. Thank you for loving my family. Thank you for loving our church. And thank you for reminding me that I do not stand alone.
I love you deeply, and I am grateful to serve beside each of you.
We have cried together. We have prayed together. We have endured together. And by the grace of God, we are going to see the harvest together.
With all my love and gratitude,
First Lady Kimberley Yancy
New Vision Church
