Episode 37: An angel at Blockbuster Video; when God meets you right where you're at with Casey Officer
We are really looking forward to sharing today's story with you! We had the opportunity to talk with our new friend Casey Officer. This story is especially interesting, unique and encouraging.
⚠️ Before you listen, we do want to give you a trigger warning for this episode. Self-harm, specifically cutting, is frequently discussed throughout this conversation. ⚠️
Casey's story is one that we really can't compare to any others. Casey begins her story by sharing with us about her life growing up in California. She had what we would think of being the idyllic California life; growing up surfing, skiing, being a cheerleader, all while being very involved in her church. Casey loved adventure and excitement which led to a few accidents involving head injuries as a young girl and young adult. Casey had the type of personality that people were drawn to, being warm and inviting and funny too. Because of this no one knew what Casey was struggling with behind closed doors and that was cutting. Casey battled with feeling extremely depressed, and this was her way to cope. It was especially challenging because she couldn't pinpoint where these feelings were coming from, and she had a hard time processing the struggle through the lens of her Christian faith. After high school while working at Blockbuster Video Casey had an encounter that deeply affected her; she met an angel. We don't want to give too much of this story away but through this conversation you are going to be amazed at the things our God does and thankful that He meets us right where we're at. You will also hopefully have a better understanding of those who are struggling with mental health issues while being a Christian. We are so honored and thankful that Casey shared with us!
