I want to share something about your workshop here in Vancouver. \u00a0(My daughter) Emily has been social networking on a website called “Howrse”\u00a0which can be accessed from anywhere in the world and she\u00a0has chatted with girls\u00a0from the UK to Australia and all over the US.\u00a0 But Maggie was the one that she had the most in common with and she turned out to\u00a0be from Portland, Oregon which is just across the\u00a0columbia river.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Their topics of conversation included the Lord of the Rings movies, your books, writing stories and poetry and\u00a0various others.\u00a0 It\u00a0was Maggie who told Emily about your workshop.\u00a0\u00a0These two had never met in person before that night and we set up a meeting nearby the Lifepoint\u00a0Church a half hour before you were scheduled to begin your lecture.\u00a0 They hit it off immediately and talked as if they had\u00a0been friends for years.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When we went over to check out the meeting room, Emily got anxious and\u00a0had\u00a0me take her back to the car.\u00a0 As she sat there, she seemed on the brink of asking me to take her home (oh me of little faith!)\u00a0and missing this chance of a lifetime to hear you speak.\u00a0 Later, she told me that she was looking at the cross on top of the church during this time,\u00a0asking God for the strength to go in.\u00a0 She also told me\u00a0that she felt God giving her a spiritual kick in the rear to get out of the car and\u00a0go\u00a0inside when out came Maggie.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
She was grinning from ear to ear…”He’s here.\u00a0 I can’t believe it!”\u00a0 (Meaning you of course).\u00a0 That broke the ice for good and in we went.\u00a0\u00a0As we were walking across the\u00a0room to find seats, Emily even raised her hand in response to a question from you and volunteered\u00a0some input!\u00a0 Wow, I was so excited.\u00a0 She continued to interact with you throughout the evening from time to time and it\u00a0was a wonderful experience for me as we have not been in any social situation having fun for a couple of years.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So Thank you\u00a0Bryan for coming to Vancouver and for giving of yourself so selflessly even though you were running on empty that night.\u00a0 I can tell you that it meant the world for Emily and I to be with you and Amanda and it was a MAJOR turning point for her.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Since that night, Em has been making steady progress and it\u00a0feels like\u00a0we are getting our family back.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
God bless you and the work that you are doing.\u00a0 You are an inspiration to Emily and Myself as well.\u00a0 Keep those books coming.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
