Before trying out for AGT the 20th season, I was kind of giving up on music. I asked, ‘Lord is this what you want for me? I felt like I step forward then take ten steps back,’ and then I feel like the Lord does not only bless me for winning the AGT but also for having my girl,” she continued.</p><p>Being a special album for her, she revealed that she started working on the album just days before giving birth to her daughter, Eliana Mae.</p><p>“I literally started maybe a couple days before giving birth, I went to the studio and started creating the album. It’s very special for me and the title of the album reflects what I have been in the past years. I hope everyone gets inspired by it,” she shared.</p><p> “This album is so special to me because it is not only the seasons of my life but also the word that I have for the last year,” she added.</p>
