Two days after that she could walk.<\/p>\n<p>Robyn has been &#8220;singing for the Lord&#8221; ever since and says she has witnessed other miracles over the years.<\/p>\n<p>She began her career in 1986 when her first record, &#8220;Here&#8217;s The Answer&#8221; went triple platinum. Six more have followed.<\/p>\n<p>Robyn is also a registered Pastor with the Assemblies of God and began her work with the Murgon-based Wellbeing Centre after she moved from Darwin.<\/p>\n<p>She now lives at Tingoora with her husband Anthony Beezley.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>June 28, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>By Marcus Priaulx<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When <strong>Robyn Green<\/strong> rocks up to see the struggling South Burnett families she&#8217;s been assigned to help, many recognise her.<\/p>\n<p>This is because her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.robyngreen.com.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>gospel albums<\/strong><\/a> have been sold worldwide and she has sung in the Sydney Opera House.<\/p>\n<p>An amazing 1.4 million people saw her perform when she sang on the BBC&#8217;s &#8220;Songs of Praise&#8221; TV show during the Sydney Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Now Robyn works with <strong>Maylene McAleer<\/strong> at the <strong>Indigenous Wellbeing Centre<\/strong> in Murgon to help struggling South Burnett families better themselves and live as a happy unit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At the end of the day it&#8217;s all about how we can help parents look after their children in a safe and happy environment,&#8221; Robyn said.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly all of Robyn and Maylene&#8217;s clients make the necessary turnaround.<\/p>\n<p>The women have positive conversations and set the families achievable goals.<\/p>\n<p>By doing a number of small things, struggling parents often make a huge positive difference to their lives.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we keep pointing to their problems they become insurmountable,&#8221; Robyn said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But if you lift people up and give them a guiding hand you give them a chance to better themselves.
