In “Turn to God with Carin,” Carin Jayne Casey shares a portion of her book, MY DEAR ROSA JEAN each month. In this episode, she shares Chapters 4 & 5. Prior book segments can be found on YouTube or www.stormtalk365radio.com: Feb. 26, 2017, March 6th, and April 10th. Casey highlighted portions of Chapter 3.
In Chapter 4, Rosa Jean and her Aunt Grace perform volunteer work for a charity. Aunt Grace says charity work helped her to be thankful for all God gave her, and the best way to keep one cheery was to be doing for others. Aunt Grace was feeling lonely and agreed with Rosa Jean to be more friendly, available as she networked with folks she already knew.
Aunt Grace explained that she encourages Rosa Jean to share past domestic violence - to help her put it away in a healthy way; she noted Rosa Jean’s life is colorful, sometimes tragic, but always interesting.
Wedding was small, with only immediate family and in Lieu of a honeymoon, Brad’s family came to the new house to stay for a week, which was a great experience.
Chapter 5 introduced what is referred to as the Ugly Honeymoon. Casey points out that all of Rosa Jean’s memories are really PTSD flashbacks, and that Rosa Jean experienced mental and emotional pain due to the conflicts in believing she should get away from Brad, yet compelled to stay; and, from holding “bottled” inside her hurt and anger.
Brad yelled, glaring, for her to come to him, about her ‘behavior’ – but she knew his family loved her, he only wanted to cause argument. She remembered another time, he had slapped her. Not eager to repeat that scene, she told him she’d be with him in a minute, and went to take an anti-depressant. He came after her in a rage, assaulted her, and tried to kill Rosa Jean [Read Pg. 75-77]
But God! God gave her the words to confuse the enemy. What the enemy means for our harm, God can use for good.
Casey encouraged listeners to turn to God, to decide to accept Jesus Christ as their savior. The numbers for The National Domestic Violence Hotline was given. Her new podcast: "Abundant Living with Carin" airs every Tuesday at 7:00 am EST.
