Jamie Lynn Spears says her daughter’s accident has inspired her to work harder on her music career.
The singer turned 26 on Tuesday and celebrated with a lengthy Instagram post that included a photo of a Psalm.
“I'm not one to preach, and I'm no priest, but God's timing is no coincidence,” she wrote alongside the image. “I hate seeing, much less, reading someone's long post, but here I go: Music, and my career [has] always been a big passion in my life, as well as to create a future that my family could be proud of. I have been working on my music for almost a decade now, and I have had many great successes as an artist/writer, but I was always wondering, how long I would have to WAIT for my big break? Wow, did God put me in my place...”
Spears then went into detail about her emotions after her 8-year-old daughter was unconscious for several days in February following an accident when an all-terrain vehicle she was driving fell into a pond in Louisiana. Maddie Spears was submerged in the vehicle and trapped by her seatbelt until rescuers were able to free her.
“Time doesn't matter, and seems to blur together when you're waiting for your daughter to wake up, and a day could be a week, and you wouldn't notice, because you're fighting for what you love. For obvious reasons, I put everything with my work life on hold, till I knew my little girl was more [than OK].”
She said the scary incident opened her eyes.
“Now, more [than] ever, I realize how important it is to only put your time into things that matter, and I can't wait to get back to my music. Now, that my baby girl is better- I can't wait to make her proud. She is my everything. I want to thank you all for your patience, and prayers as we worked through this hard time.”
She concluded by telling her fans, “Music to come… 26 is gonna be a good year.”
