In the quiet corners of Utica, New York, Susan “Suzi” Yelvington was born into a world of humble beginnings. Little did anyone know that this unassuming child would grow into a beacon of faith, touching lives across continents with her unwavering commitment to God’s purpose.
Suzi’s path led her from the snow-kissed streets of Utica to the sun-drenched shores of Florida. It was there that she encountered her husband, a partner in both life and business. Together, they forged a path to success, their shared faith anchoring them through life’s storms.
Around two decades ago, Suzi began a practice that would shape her destiny. She started keeping a journal—a sacred space where her prayers and conversations with God found refuge. This journal wasn’t merely ink on paper; it was a lifeline connecting her to the divine. Through success and happiness, Suzi used it to remind herself of her covenant with God, staying loyal and faithful to His plan.
Suzi’s office became a sanctuary. Employees seeking guidance found more than professional advice—they discovered snippets of Suzi’s intimate conversations with God. Whether it was a heartfelt plea or a moment of gratitude, these divine messages enriched their lives. Suzi’s desk became a place of solace, where faith intersected with the everyday.
Suzi’s writing journey took an unexpected turn when she wanted to connect with her daughter and nephew. She remembered the adage: “If you want your children to listen, you need to text them.” Despite being unfamiliar with texting, Suzi embraced the challenge. She began sending daily messages infused with God’s wisdom. The impact was profound—her children not only read these texts but shared them with others, creating a network of faith and encouragement.
A friend, her hair stylist, noticed Suzi’s gift. She encouraged Suzi to share her messages beyond family circles. Suzi hesitated but eventually stepped onto social media platforms. Daily, she posted the inspired words that flowed from her heart. Facebook and Instagram became her canvas, and more people joined her flock. Likes turned into shared blessings, and Suzi’s influence expanded.
Suzi’s first book emerged—a compilation of daily inspirational messages from 2019, expanded for print. But her mission extended beyond bookshelves. She initiated the “trunk ministry.” In her car’s trunk, she carried her writings, gifting them to those God led her to—prisoners, hospital patients, and those seeking hope in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Her words became lifelines, pulling people from darkness into light.
Today, Suzi remains faithful. Her website, suziyelvington.com, hosts daily inspirational messages, freely accessible to all. Her Facebook and Instagram accounts echo God’s love and encouragement. Suzi’s legacy isn’t about fame or fortune; it’s about helping everyone recognize their full potential. She attributes her words, happiness, and success to her relationship with God and the unwavering support of her loving husband.
Susan “Suzi” Yelvington—a woman whose life radiates faith, whose words ignite hope, and whose journey inspires us all.
