A Journey to Life – Marina Carrier pt 1
A Journey to Life
Marina Carrier pt 1
Heulwen Marina Carrier is our guest today, hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland. Marina’s life has not been one of sunshine and roses. She was born as an illegitimate, unwanted child… suffered sexual abuse by her step-father up to age nine, when she was left for dead.
But God. Amen. But God…
Despite her suffering, she continued to excel through school and through God’s provision, was able to pass her classes well enough to train for and become a teacher. Amen!
All her life, she continued to ask questions and gain wisdom through seeking the answers. This has enabled her to help those who have been diagnosed with learning disabilities to learn and grow as well.
She lived in denial of what she went through for many years, including her own husband’s betrayal.
One night, while praying she heard her name called and since then, now more than 30 years I believe, God called her back to the Church to minister to others who have also felt betrayal and abuse. She says the went through the “dark night of the soul” and found the mystery of the “inner world” – and what it means to live in Spirit and in Truth. She learned the wonder of humility and the mystery of casting all her burdens on Christ – and live for Him and by Him. Amen!
She is a counselor to those that seek help. She is the author of trilogy of books, “Treasures of Darkness,” “Your Will Be Done,” and “Children of God.”
With all that being said, help me welcome to the program Marina Carrier! Marian, it is such a blessing to have you on the program today!
The first question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Marina Carrier?”
From what I understand, you came to find out in your early childhood that, not only were you ostracized as being “illegitimate,” but you found out your mother had actually tried to abort you. Is that correct?
On top of all this, you were also abused by your step-father. What did your mother do or did she even know this was going on?
Your now about nine years old, what happened that you were left for dead? What were the circumstances that led to that and how were you saved?
After that, you found the Lord had given you His Grace and His Spirit and you began to excel in school and things like that, correct?
Did you share this upbringing and abuse with anyone?
What led you into the calling of being a teacher?
Fast forward a few more years. You were now married, had an adopted child – and you received a scholarship to get your Ph.D.?
