She Was Prepared to End Her Life — Until God Saved Her: The Lord Said, ‘Hold On. I’m Not Done Yet’
“Jesus changed my life.” That proclamation from Christian singer Katy Nichole is very much a statement about the performer’s own life. That’s why it should come as no surprise this is also the title of Nichole’s new album — a series of anthems about hope.
The performer has been candid about her harrowing journey with scoliosis, a curvature of the spine she was first diagnosed with at the age of 5. It was through determination, hard work — and prayer — she journeyed through serious issues and complications. “I was diagnosed with congenital scoliosis, which is rare,” she said. “That was kind of scary in the very beginning because doctors were like, ‘She might not be able to walk, she might not be able to do the things that the other kids are doing. That didn’t really stop me though.”
Nichole said grit, determination, and an innate stubbornness helped her navigate her scoliosis. “God clearly made me stubborn and strong for a reason, because later on I was gonna need that strength in my life,” she said. “I had back surgery when I was 15 to put metal rods and screws into my spine to straighten it out.”
What should have been a routine procedure, though, ended up in a dire situation for Nichole, as she faced intense pain, depression, and anxiety — a situation that could have claimed her life. “[It] just kind of became almost lethal for me, and I came to a place where I said, ‘God, I can’t do this anymore. God, I don’t wanna do this anymore,'” she said, explaining she nearly came to the end of herself. “[I] picked up a bottle of pills one day and said it would be that easy.”
Nichole took the pills to the bathroom and said they “somehow fell on the floor and spilled everywhere.” In that moment, she was snapped back into reality. “It was just like … ‘God is clearly telling me something here,'” she recalled. “It was in that moment for me that God said, ‘Hold on. I’m not done yet.'” Listen to Nichole tell her incredible story.
