Gospel artist and pastor Size 8 recently celebrated her son, Muraya Jr., marking his birthday with immense gratitude and an outpouring of love. As she took to social media to share this joyous milestone, her heartfelt message revealed the challenges she faced surrounding his birth, calling him her “miracle” child a testament to resilience, faith, and divine intervention.
In a post featuring a video of young Muraya enjoying cake with his classmates, Size 8 recounted the obstacles she and her son had overcome. “Happy birthday to my little miracle @muraya.jnr. This boy is proof that God still performs miracles through Jesus Christ,” she wrote. “My son nearly died in my womb, and even his birth was through an emergency C-section, with him needing ICU care afterward. Look at him now so full of energy! We serve a powerful, merciful God, Elroi our Father. Women seeking children, don’t give up on God.”
The gospel singer’s journey has been marked by immense struggles, particularly during her pregnancies. Muraya’s birth was fraught with complications, culminating in an emergency C-section and time in intensive care. Despite the harrowing experience, Size 8’s faith remained unshaken, and today, she is grateful to see Muraya thriving. She has frequently described her son’s survival as a miracle, reflecting her belief in the power of prayer and divine intervention.
Size 8’s story also includes heart-wrenching moments of loss. In 2019, she experienced a miscarriage, a tragedy that deeply affected her. And in 2021, Size 8 and her husband, DJ Mo, were expecting a third child. However, the joy of expecting another baby was shattered when Size 8 developed eclampsia a severe pregnancy-related condition characterized by dangerously high blood pressure, which can be life-threatening to both mother and child. Tragically, they lost their baby, a devastating blow that Size 8 has shared openly with her fans.
The gospel artist’s openness about her journey has resonated with many, especially women who have faced similar experiences of loss, high-risk pregnancies, and health challenges. Through it all, she has shared how her faith sustained her, encouraging others to keep their trust in God despite difficulties.
Interestingly, Size 8 has shared that her third pregnancy, which ended in loss, was unexpected but foreseen through several prophetic messages. According to the gospel artist, her sister, who is deeply spiritual, once told her that God had shown her a vision of another child in Size 8’s home. Though the couple was not planning for another baby, a prophet also confirmed this message, and later, her brother-in-law echoed similar sentiments, saying that Size 8 and DJ Mo would have another child within the year.
Reflecting on this time, Size 8 admitted she was shocked when she found out she was indeed pregnant. As she grappled with the unplanned news, her concerns were compounded by memories of the complications she had experienced in her previous pregnancies. Nervous about her husband’s reaction, she decided to reveal the news via text message rather than in person, after requesting her doctor to keep the pregnancy confidential until she was ready to share it.
Today, despite the ups and downs of her journey, Size 8 stands as an inspiration for many. Her transparency and candidness about her experiences with loss, health challenges, and miracles have touched the hearts of her fans and followers, many of whom look up to her as a role model of resilience and faith. Her message to women seeking children to “not give up on God” reflects her deep conviction and serves as encouragement for those in similar situations.
Size 8’s story is a powerful reminder of the strength found in faith and the miracles that can happen even in the darkest moments. Her son Muraya Jr.’s joyful birthday celebration is not just a family milestone but a celebration of hope, faith, and the miracles that can come after tremendous hardship.
