PTSD, Jesus and YOU: Holding On to the Unseen Hand (Anna Marie’s Story)
Special guest Anna Marie Rivera Alberts joins the Wednesdays With Watson podcast with her story of the crooked roads of trauma and pain that has led to a beautiful, albeit still difficult life.
Her family’s story made the news headlines. A visit to the scene of the tragedy yielded stories from neighbors who remember the story, 30+ years later. We attempt to tell her story with the delicacy it deserves, yet listeners are still able find Hope in a story that most people would describe as unable to be redeemed. She has broken the generational trauma “curse”.
Hebrews 11:1
For Him “Why”–lyrics. quoted:
“I know down here, I may not understand, so I won’t let go of the unseen hand, because it holds the reasons why”
“What Love Really Means”–JJ Heller
“Who will love me for me, not for what I have done or what I will become, who will love me for me, will somebody show me what love really means?”
