Comments on: A Postpartum Funk http://wingfeathersaga.com/?p=571 Sat, 04 Sep 2010 13:03:07 +0000 hourly 1 By: Kati http://wingfeathersaga.com/?p=571&cpage=1#comment-3520 Kati Wed, 16 Jun 2010 15:31:10 +0000 http://wingfeathersaga.com/?p=571#comment-3520 Hi Andrew, I love your books, my husband introduced them to me, and read On the Edge aloud to me, well at least part of it, before I just had to read ahead. I just finished North! and loved it. I have a rather silly question, but it has been rolling around and around since finishing....How did the same melody of the song of the ancient stones produce two so different results in Artham and Kalmar? In any case, cannot wait for the next book! Thanks for all your writing, and thanks to your family for sharing you with your readers :) Katie Hi Andrew,

My first college roommate introduced me to your music when Carried Along first came out. We were very different people and you were our first shared love that we built a incredible friendship on. I used to read your old on-line journal regularly because I loved the way that you shared what the Lord was doing in you. Honesty like that is hard to write and hard to come by. Thank you for that kind of bravery. It helped me to feel the huge hole in my own heart. The words that you wrote on the jacket of Love and Thunder are framed on my wall. My grandparents had a farm out in the country growing up and I feel like you pulled those words out of my heart, starring up at the stars. I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how much your work has meant to me. I just finished reading North for the second time and got on-line to see how long I have to wait for the next one. I started reading through old posts and found myself crying reading this one. God has really used your words to awaken my heart and remind me of the richness that my soul longs for. It's a reminder that there is so much more to life than just coasting. There are adventures to be had, mountains to climb, and forces to fight. I really needed something to remind me of that. Thank you for providing it. I think it's so great that so many kids are taking this story in. But I hope that you remember people like me as well. What you've created isn't just for children. I can't wait for the next book! Andrew,

A friend of mine put your CD in the player and I was half listening, half gazing out my window (I'm from Michigan and Mountains are as alien to me as toothy cows). But man, it was Karma or Kismet or Ka or some other form of fate twisting with destiny when we rounded a bend towards a valley clearing in the mountains with horses running across it in the distance, mountains on the horizon, and your voice singing the words, "And the mountains sing Your glory Hallelujah!" I was floored. Thank you for facilitating a very special communion between the Lord and I on that day. I've been a longtime fan ever since then and I cannot wait to hear the new Album.

Literally, every Saturday morning we wake up, put your albums on shuffle, make pancakes with our little ones and sing along all day long. Your songs capture life as I've never heard it before and it's as if your songs help me understand what I actually mean to say...they help me live what I actually mean to live. They speak the words my heart cannot find and sing of mysteries unfolding. Thank you for going through the struggle so that I can listen to the chords and harmonies and breathtaking lyrics and see deeper into this life and this story the Creator has written for me.

I've read your books to them before bed. We've laughed at the funny man with socks on his hands. We've struggled to remember all the words to Matthew's Begats. Thanks for giving me some lumber and nails to build a bridge into the world of Daniel and Ellie. I appreciate it.

From "Isn't it Love?" to "North! Or be Eaten!", the work you do has given my son and I a lot of joy, a common connection, and a burr under our saddles. Your struggle has become our own, and I appreciate the opportunity you've given us to think, wonder, and express our own struggles for others. God bless you, brother! =) Andrew:
