Letters From Home
Have you made a mistake, a really big one, early on in marriage? Did you think your marriage was over? Our society is so prone to cancel for the smallest of transgressions. But not God. God wants to not only completely heal us, but to have our healing be a story that can be lived and shared out loud, to help others heal.
Raven Hartwell has a beautiful love story of redemption, that she so lovingly and vulnerably shares. She has a wonderful childlike faith, and you can hear that 100% trust in her God as she shares. You will be so encouraged. Raven and her husband Keith love and serve the Lord with their precious sons, influencing this world for good.
Rev. 12:11- “And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. “

Raven Quotes:
“He has always favored me, and He has always seen me when I thought my parents didn’t.”
“I was experiencing rejection from a family that I really wanted to marry into forever.”
“I think people don’t understand. They underestimate how much of an impact family has on your marriage. It is really vital to be of one accord as a couple.”
“There is power in forgiveness. You feel free when you are forgiven.”
“I have never been one to enjoy grief. I don’t believe it is a beautiful thing. It is not something that you can sit in. It really can put pressure on you, into questioning your life and holding you back from life, that God has given you to move forward.”

"Finding Your Life's Great Message" Bonus Episode

1 Recommendations

What is the great message and theme of your life? Would finding the answer to this question make a difference? In my last several podcast episodes I asked this question of my guests, and have put together an audio montage of their answers. The answers might inspire you to find the great message and theme of your own life, as well as discover this beauty in others.
You will hear from Markus Watson, Lee Ann Mancini, Renod Bejjani, Ami Shroyer, Joe Delagrave, Sue Donaldson and Rodney Olsen. Last year, I discovered the great theme and message of my own life. You will hear my answer, as well as several other of my family members. Here is a peek:
John 14:3 “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.”

Amy Quotes:
“When I hear the word ‘home’, I think of a dorm settled on 45 acres in Tampa Bay Florida, with 35 other kids, 5 other girls in the room with me. I think of gross food, that one eats at an institution like a children’s home, but I think of, that was the time when I was loved for who I was, not for what I did or what I could bring to the table.”
“I love back then and even now, some Jesus because He is my everything. I think somehow I recognized that there was no way to make it through. He is the only one who has never left me.”
“There was a group of women that I could tell about my domestic violence, what was going on at home, and they loved me back to life by pushing me to the throne of Jesus and being His hands and feet.”
