Expectations, how are you?

- We're great.

- Thank you.

- Great, now if I remember correctly, it might not be, you know, some things don't lock like they used to, but are y'all from Georgia?

- No sir, we're from Kennedy, Alabama, originally from South Carolina.

- Oh, South Carolina, I knew it was outta state, but you're in Kennedy now?

- Yes sir.

- What brought that about (indistinct) - It was a move of God.

- A move of God.

- Are you down there preaching going down that way?

- We do, we do preaching, we do singings, we do women's conferences.

Just any door the Lord opens, we're there.

- Got great expectations, you're there.

- Yes.

- Amen.

- Alright, now was your name Expectation last time you were here?

- Yeah.

- It was, okay.

Well I have so many groups coming in, I'm trying.

- You do good, you do good to remember all those groups.

- Well, give me a hug for that.

- Fantastic.

- Made me feel good.

Okay, all right.

- Absolutely.

- Mom and daughter team, right?

- Right.

- Great, and how long you been singing together?

- Together, we have been singing as far as Expectation ministry about 25 years, but we've been singing in church, and I've been singing since I was three, and I'm sure since she was a little girl.

- And she's been talking since she was one day old.

(all laughing) Great, give me your names.

- My name's Margie Tanner.

- And I'm Robin Tanner.

- All right, now you had a medical challenge at some point.

- I did, I did.

I was born blind, and she could tell the testimony 'cause she was there.

I was too little to remember, but let her tell it a little bit more (indistinct).

- Too little, okay, come on.

- Well, we had her at a lot of different specialists, big hospital in Charleston, South Carolina.

We were told by many, many specialists that she would never see, that the optical nerve that provides sight was not developed, and there was nothing they could do.

But God just spoke to me down by the crib a couple of days later at home, and I questioned God, why this had happened.

- I feel that already.

- Had I been disobedient or anything?

And the Lord said, "If you can have steadfast faith, I can give you a miracle."

And I picked up the Bible that was laid there on the nightstand, and it opened to the book of John where they brought the blind man to Jesus, and they was asking if someone sinned or something.

And the Lord said, "No, this is wrought for the glory of God."

So I jumped up off the floor and just kinda had a moment of praise and I said, Lord, there won't be no glory in my child spending her life in the dark.

And for nine months, we praised God every day, everywhere we went in churches.

And you know, I remember one Sunday afternoon, we were having a singing, a two o'clock singing and- - Right (indistinct), I feel going out, but make it a little bit for me.

- All right, so I praised the Lord that Robin was gonna see, and it was like the enemy was sitting right here on my shoulder, and he said, "Woman, you're a fool.

You (indistinct) telling people that baby's gonna see."

But praise God, the miracle came.

- That day?

- And I promised God we'd always tell it everywhere we go.

- That's right.

- There you go, you just told over 300,000 people right there.

- That's right, amen.

- Amen, amen.

- Can you touch eyes just a little bit, just touch me.

- Amen, amen, amen, hallelujah.

- Can you touch 'em?

- I sure can.

Amen, that's right, praise God.

- All right, all right, okay, well, we wanna hear some more singing, all right?

- All right, we're ready.

- All right, you got me fired up now!

- Amen.

- All right, everybody out there.

Once again, on "Alabama Gospel Roots" is Expectation.

When they see us, it's surprising, but it's encouraging to know that they watch the show!
