Having a newborn already brings an abundance of happiness and excitement to a family, what more if there are two?

First-time mom Coleen Garcia shared that her family obtained two bundles of joy this year, with the birth of her son, Amari, and her little sister who is already considered to be her baby’s aunt.

Along with a photo of her carrying the two newborns, Coleen shared in an Instagram post on Thursday, October 29,  that she was in tears during worship back in March 2019 after “God so clearly told me that my Dad was gonna have another child, and that he was going to be given a new beginning.”

My baby sister’s trying to access Amari’s milk stash, and he’s not having it. lol Just want to share this testimony! Around March of last year, during worship at @favor.church, I was in tears after God so clearly told me that my Dad was gonna have another child, and that he was going to be given a new beginning. I felt Him say that things were gonna get crazy—in a good way, ofc. Don’t know how to explain it, but it was so clear, specific, and out of the blue. I told everyone around me before telling my Dad (in the presence of our Connect group because I needed witnesses) 😆 For those who didn’t know him before this season in his life, he was single for 15yrs and was always the most cynical person when it came to his personal life. So when I told him about God’s plan for him, he didn’t want to believe or accept it. Months after, he met the woman he ended up marrying, which was already a miracle on its own. Fast forward to today.. I guess this is the crazy part. 😝 Never would have imagined that my Dad and I would be raising our babies at the same time! But God’s just awesome like that. Way-maker, miracle worker, promise keeper. ⭐️

“I felt Him say that things were gonna get crazy—in a good way, ofc. Don’t know how to explain it, but it was so clear, specific, and out of the blue,” she added.

Coleen said her dad, Jose, was single for 15 years and has always been the “most cynical person” in terms of his personal life so he did not believe or accept God’s plan that Coleen told him about.

But after a few months, the actress’s dad met his other half, and long story short, both of them are currently raising babies at the same time; which Coleen said she never did imagine that would happen.

“God’s just awesome like that. Way-maker, miracle worker, promise keeper,” she said.

Coleen welcomed her first child in September with husband Billy Crawford who she married in April 2018.

Marking her 28th birthday last month, the actress said she never really cared much about her birthday, but Amari gave her “a new reason to love my birth month.”

She has been filling her Instagram feed with her son’s photos and the most recent one prior to her Thursday post was a photo showing Billy and Amari who was seen flashing an adorable smile.

“Low-key jealous that most of baby’s cute photos are not with me, cause I’m always the one taking them.  I wish I could capture all the nakakaiyak na (eye-watering) smiles and adorable facial expressions he makes when it’s just the two of us,” Coleen said of the photo.
