I will get on a plane tonight and return to America. Emotionally I am fully drained. Strange for me to find tears rolling freely while my words are stopped up. We agreed at dinner last night that we accomplished in two weeks what would normally take four months here. That’s a good feeling. I have a farewell to go to with the children at James’ church this morning. It will be difficult to say goodbye to everyone here.
I am sitting here trying to write and I am stuck. My own words were used as a noose on me. I have lost the freedom I felt that enabled me to open up my word bank. I don’t think I can write here this morning. I have many wounds. The comfort I feel is that the bible says to expect to be persecuted. The closer I walk to God, the more I do for him, the stronger the dark force comes at my throat.
I need time to heal.
I’m sorry but the words won’t come today.

The words will be back Tonya. No one can take away the gift of words that God has given you. You are a special woman and this is yet one more time Satan has been defeated and our Lord has triumphed. Praise God for your integrity, strength and determination to make it known far and wide that He is God and no one will defeat His purpose or change His will.
Tonya, no matter the outcome you have done much. You have made it known that God and HIS will is what matters most to you. YOu have stood strong in the face of the evil one. You have done much and it does not go unnoticed by our God. praying for you!
Praying, Tonya!
Been praying for you! Safe journey home!
Hi Tonya, welcome home, glad you are back in the arms and love of your children. I was with Craig and know his heart was broken when he found out he would not be there to welcome you back. I haven’t written much but you have been in my prayers everyday you were gone.
