Miracle Child (song)

Last updated

"Testimony songs will always be a part of my records because there is power in sharing your story. A unique part of my testimony is that my mom had six miscarriages, a few before I was born and a few after. After the first few, I'm grateful she never gave up on the promise that God made her, despite any doctors recommendation that she stop trying. My brother, sister and I are glad my parents kept praying and believing!"
