Just wanted to give yall an update as most of you are aware the HEARING was amazing! Truly God's hand was in ALL of this! Also, just to let yall know QT had requested to be shipped back to his unit in Abilene. It was really a challenge to be here in county when we talked after the hearing he said he wanted to go... he said he was going to pray about it but in my spirit I knew it was best for him. He'd been here since December it was 4 months going on 5 and it was taking its toll on him spiritually, emotionally, mentally and mostly physically. He didn't want to worry anybody about his health but he wasn't doing well as far as adjusting to the horrible food, and all the issues that come with being so close to home and having to deal with family issues. Its especially hard when your a control freak like us and you feel so helpless to solve the problem or deal with the issues your family is going through your way. He has been here before and gone back but this time for ME it was different! I didn't think it would take its toll on me him leaving because in my heart and spirit I knew it was best for him but I cried alot a whole lot and felt a part in my heart was missing him.. missing his calls, his laugh, his thoughts and most of all his LOVE for his tia Chana... Anyway God knows what needs to happen and his timing is always perfect, thats for sure!
QT is currently at the transfer facility of the Byrd Unit in Huntsville. He is waiting to be sent back to Robertson Unit right now from my understanding in speaking with them their is not a set time when he will be sent to Robertson Unit they have to make room, so the average wait time is 3 months or so but again I say God's timing is perfect and he knows where he needs to be & for the time he needs to be there. Please continue to keep him in your prayers that God continue to do his will! That his name be glorified~
Here is his address while he is at the Byrd Unit:

We Cry Holy Holy
Praise God! He is worthy to be praised! Just wanted to follow up with yall and let everyone know the "GOOD NEWS" in regards to QT's Evidentiary Hearing! As yall know his hearing was scheduled to take place on Friday, April 1,2010 at 9:00 am in Judge Irma Ramirez court. I want to thank ALL of yall who showed up at my parents early that morning to pray for God's will to be done, for God to give us courage and faith in the midst of the enemy.. Thanks to all of our friends/family who showed up at the Earl Cambell Federal Building to observe the hearing.. we woke up very early and as it got closer to the scheduled time I felt like I wanted to throw up! But I know my brothers and sisters in Christ were praying for QT and our family. I received several emails, several text messages telling us that people are praying for us that God's will be done in this whole situation. We have a family in the body of Christ that are standing in the gap with us, praying and interceding.
Intercessory Prayer is not the same as prayers for yourself, or for 'enlightenment', or for spiritual gifts, or for guidance, or any personal matter, or any glittering generality. Intercession is not just praying for someone else's needs. Intercession is praying with the real hope and real intent that God would step in and act for the positive advancement of some specific other person(s) or other entity. It is trusting God to act, even if it's not in the manner or timing we seek. God wants us to ask, even urgently. It is casting our weakness before God's strength, and (at its best) having a bit of God's passion burn in us!
God ABSOLUTELY and POSITIVELY showed UP and we witnessed a miracle! NO really, a real live, miracle! You can ask anyone who was able to stay until the end the miracle that occurred. Not to many people were able to stay so I will share with yall in short what happened... ARE YOU READY????
Mr. Biggs QT's attorney had subpoena'd about 6 people I began reading my bible:
Psalms 25: 1-3
To you O Lord, I lift up my soul in you I trust, O my God do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse!
Bottom line the person who testified last against all odds, against the support of her friends & family, against everything in her flesh, and in her mind that told her "NO, dont get involved, its not your problem" I thank God that God's spirit spoke so strongly, so clearly, and boldly to her that it moved her immediately to ACT! To do the RIGHT! thing... Yall it was like a scene in the movies.. the last witness testifies and blew the case out of the water! PRAISE GOD! She testified as to what she witnessed, what her family member witnessed and made it so clear, clear as water who actually murdered Santos Gauna. She testified as to the notorious threats, fears, concerns she and her family had over the years as to what kept her from ever coming forward.. I can not lie as I & everyone in the courtroom including the judge listened intently to every word, every syllable,every statement that came out of her mouth we were all on the edge of our seats! I remember shaking and crying uncontrollably because I thought I was dreaming.. I thought I had to pinch myself that I wasn't hearing correctly as I felt my daughter Jennifer's arm hold me with tears in her eyes and I realize I was hearing correctly! "Someone actually had enough courage & CAME FORWARD", someone told the story of what happened on June 9, 2001 in the murder of Santos Gauna! The truth prevailed,and it wasn't anyone we would have ever expected! That just goes to show you its true what God says.. "your ways are not my ways & my thoughts are not your thoughts" His timing is always perfect! We will know something in approximately 30-60 days... Please continue to pray with and for us.. this war isn't over we may have one this battle but we still have to WIN the war! Thank you all for everything from the bottom of my heart we thank you and love you all for everything!

This is the "DAY"
Im up early this morning 3:00 am got some rest but I know I will get plenty of rest after the hearing! That's pretty much the kinda month its been so far not too much rest at all. Dont feel tired it was a bit hectic yesterday trying to get QT's clothes and having RJ take them to him, notifying everyone etc. and making sure everything is the way its suppose to be, feeling a bit anxious not in a bad way but kind of like I want this to hurry and happen we've waited almost 9 LONG years when God's spirit came to me and eased my discomfort! He said to me "your ways are not my ways, my thoughts are not your thoughts" so stop trying to make everything SO perfect! Thats not your job, thats mine, LET IT GO! so I did..
There is a sense of calmness in my spirit today, it feels so very good! My family is scheduled to meet at my moms house early this morning to pray before we leave to the hearing, that is one of the things Im thankful for through out this whole ordeal I know alot of families go through this and have gone through this and its true like my nephew QT says this type of thing will either break families apart or bring them closer together and if anything it has brought my family so close together! closer to each other, but most of all closer to HIM! I know I can speak for myself my life has changed FOREVER! it will never be the same again..and I say that in a positive way! Im grateful for God allowing me to be a part of this, I know it sounds crazy but as I look back I have met so many people, I have made so many friends, people who are like family to me, people who I love and will always be a part of my life. If I had not been a part of this I would not have met my husband RJ who is one of QT's biggest supporters, who has been with him for many years fighting along side of him, laughing, playing basketball, praying, and encouraging him all the way through! Families of people who are still encarcerated, who have NO ONE! Thank you God for allowing me to play a role in your plan because I know it is YOUR PLAN!
To my family, God hasn't brought us this far for failure! He is the creator of the universe who allows things to happen for his GLORY and I know without a shadow of a doubt it is for HIS GLORY we are here and we will continue to be here and will continue to fight until QT is HOME! Thanks mom because of your dedication to calling to the Robertson Unit every Tuesday night for the last 8 years to read a scripture and sending words of encouragement to all the inmate who listen to the message board in Abilene, who have written you so many times thanking you for remembering them, thanking you for loving them without knowing them! Who you have come to be "grams" to them.. you will never know how much they look forward to hearing your voice weekly.
To our friends thank you for the many times you've prayed for QT and for us! You will never know how much your prayers have gotten us through..thank you for the many times you may have gotten a phone call from one of us needing to vent, needing to cry, needing to be touch by God with a hug from a friend. We love you more then words can express! Thank you for giving of yourself for someone else.
My heart loves, and will forever be apart of those brothers and sisters who have been forgotten. I call them the "FORGOTTEN PEOPLE"..the people who have wrongly been convicted of a crime they "DID NOT" commit! I love you!
For what ever is born of God overcomes the world and this is the VICTORY that has overcome the world our FAITH in Christ Jesus">
