🤩 Recently I did something that blessed me more than I expected. I created a tribute and a song for my older sister, Beverly Mitchell Briscoe — who is very much ALIVE AND WELL! ❤️ This is not a memorial. This is honor while living. Beverly is five years older than me, and throughout my life she has been much more than a big sister. I call her “My Second Mother.” She encouraged me when I was afraid. She prayed with me. She opened her home when I needed somewhere to land. She loved my children. She gave advice — sometimes whether I asked for it or not! 😂 And through difficult seasons, she reminded me: “It'll be alright. Just trust God to work it out.” While creating her tribute through Kingdom Melodies, something hit me: We talk a lot about legacy. But legacy isn't only what people say about us after we're gone. Legacy is also what someone can say because we showed up while we're still here. That stopped me. Because Beverly's life is part of my story. Her experience became encouragement for me. Her faith strengthened mine. Her open door changed seasons of my life. Her love became part of what I eventually passed on to others. And isn't that what legacy really looks like? Sometimes we are so busy asking: “What am I supposed to build?” that we overlook what God has already been building through our lives. The prayer you prayed. The wisdom you shared. The child you encouraged. The door you opened. The lesson you learned the hard way and then helped somebody else avoid. It matters. That's why we keep saying here in Freedom By Faith™: 🔑 Your Experience Still Matters™ Your experience isn't valuable only when you can package it, sell it, teach it, or turn it into a business. It mattered before any of that. And when God shows you how to use that experience to serve somebody else — whether through ministry, mentoring, business, a conversation, a book, a song, or simply showing up — that's where impact, income, and legacy can begin to intersect. 🎶 I called Beverly's song:
