I saw it and cried. This song reminded me of recovering from postpatum depression a few years back. Thanks Whitney for sharing! I never imagined I’d love it like that!
Whitney has returned with a spiritual mission. She returns with the help of God to comfort yet encourage not only me but this nation. Like she said there is a time and a season for everything.
Whitney’s voice may not be the powerhouse voice that it used to be, but she has so much strengTH and power in her voice still. She gave the ultimate powerhouse, and tear jerking performance that I have heard of in a while. TEAM WHITNEY!
I’m pulling for Whitney all the way. Welcome back!
