Amazing Phone Call

What an exciting day this has been. I was sitting in my office at FBC Vidalia today visiting with my son when my cell phone rang. A man on the other end identified himself as Chap. Summerall at the St. Gabriel prison. He informed me that they had received our forms for visitation and that we should be hearing something soon. He then told me that Tanya was sitting there with him and asked if I would like to speak with her. I told him that I would love to.
This was the first time I had ever heard her voice. I was amazed at the calmness in her voice. She proceeded to tell me all about the "retreat" that she had been invited to at the prison. Also, she said that Chap. Sumerall, had a new guitar in his office, which to my suprise, she plays. It meant alot to her to be able to hold one and play again. Needless to say, I was amazed.
She also told me that she was still having a tough time being around other people which I told her was probably normal being that she had been in the "hole" almost three years, away from everyone.
Please continue to pray that Tanya will be receptive to the gospel, and pray that this retreat will be life changing for her. Great things are going to happen, I just have that feeling!!!! To God be the glory.
