Gospel singer Amani has welcomed her first child, a moment she says is a testament to God's faithfulness.
On Saturday, Amani shared a heartwarming story of how she overcame a miscarriage in 2019, revealing that she had been trying to conceive for a while.
She shared an old picture on her Instagram page, taken last year when she was pregnant but lost the baby. 'When I took this picture last year, I was pregnant but lost it. It hurt but in that moment I chose not to grumble or murmur or get angry. Though disappointed, I chose not to give up and lose faith,' she said.
Despite the miscarriage, Amani remained hopeful that she could still conceive. 'I had conceived after failing to conceive for a while. So I realized that my season had come and it was just a matter of time. I thanked God in advance and the following month I conceived again and this time the pregnancy was sustained,' she said.
Fast forward to today, Amani is now a proud mother, thanking God for the gift of her baby. 'Today I hold my gift from God in my arms. My baby. It is still so surreal. Yahweh is a faithful God who is always on time. All the glory goes back to him,' she said.
Amani, who was once a secular artiste, has transitioned to gospel music and has released several hit songs, including 'Upendo' and 'Jina Lake Yesu'. She was also featured in a song written and produced by R Kelly, 'Hands Across the World', in 2010.
