4. Lauren Daigle’s First Song Was About Chocolate Milk
At the age of 5, Daigle wrote her first “song” after encouragement from her Mom.
“This story involves a planter, one that we used for a tree, that was placed at the front of our house. One particular day when it rained, it filled up with mud and looked just like chocolate milk,” she recollects. “After telling my mom about it, she suggested that we make a book about ‘my day with the chocolate-milk-rain.So I remember putting together this book complete with pictures I painted. My mom stapled it all together, which then gave me a tangible memory of my day. I think that creativity eventually trickled into my songwriting. It was taking a moment to look at a story or a picture that God had shown me and then incorporating that into a song.” Daigle shared.

“It's an amazing program. Instead of giving them a victimization mindset, they tell them 'okay, that's your story. Those are the cards that have been dealt to you, so how are you going to use it for the Lord's glory?' These girls just come out completely transformed, ready to take on the world, just full of life, abundance, and energy. It's amazing to watch them go from completely broken to whole in the name of Jesus.”
