Hey Ms. Brawner,
My name is Abbey Mayfield and you spoke at my church in Claxton, Georgia not too long ago. I really enjoyed hearing you speak, and I'm reading your book right now (which I like very much). I didn't get a chance to really speak to you since you had to leave so you could speak at another church, and I might stick out in your memory because I was in a wheelchair. I just wanted to tell you that I always thought I would be a missionary since I was in the fifth grade. But I was in a bad car accident a little over a year that left me a paraplegic and unable to go on mission trips overseas because of my transpotation method. I was never depressed, and for the most part still had a bright outlook on life. But I fought myself (my legs mainly) for alomost a year. I thought God had forsaken me, and when you told the story of the woman who thought the same thing when she couldn't have children I wanted to cry. I did therapy 3x's a week, stretched my legs every day, got fitted for leg braces, swam in a special pool, saw specialists...anything that I thought would make me walk again. I was always tired, and mad at myself because I still couldn't walk. Finally, I stopped and realized maybe this is how I'm SUPPOSED to be. Maybe this IS my way of being a missionary. Once I realized that, my focus started to change. Instead of it being all about walking again, it became how can I use this for God? There's a reason he wanted me like this. Now I'm about to start college, and I plan to be a Speech Therapist for people with communication disorders, diffculties because of a brain injury.
I know this is really long and probably really boring, but I just wanted to say thanks for sharing...I'm so glad God put people like you out in different parts the world. I pray for you and so many others every day while I continue to be a missionary right here. Thanks again! I know I'll read your book many times!
I would love to hear from you if you ever get a chance...
