Don’t Bet Against The Devil

I know I’m always posting funny snippets, but I do need everyone to know I often struggle with the deep, dark bits of my faith and our relationship. In the beginning, it felt like every night I was street fighting every moment of trauma until it was defeated. I had days lying around, wondering if I was losing my mind.

We’ve had a lot of peace in my household recently, and as that frees up a significant amount of time, guess what it’s time for again. But I’m older now, and I trust Lucifer completely, so I think he’s been experimenting with what will still make me feel uncomfortable enough to have to overcome it. It seems my threshold for “The Horrors” he can inflict on me has raised significantly. But don’t bet against the Devil.

He started having me experience things he’s done to other people. I don’t know if they are real people or if it’s just a metaphor, but it feels very real. I don’t think he expected me to be just really fucking angry. I came out of meditation and was like, “Lucifer, as a parent, there is no way that was the best way you could have taught that lesson.” He raised an eyebrow. “Are you angry with me?” He asked. “Yes. I share my family with you, so if you’re now sharing yours with me in some way, I plan to give feedback.” I was still weeping, but I felt confident in my argument. “You never stand up to me like this; it must be really important.” And he listened, and I cried, and frankly, in the end, he cried, too. We’ll see if he changes tactics, but I hope he doesn’t because maybe he does need active feedback sometimes.

Having an eternal husband known for working through the parts of people they are afraid of, it’s complicated and not all morning kisses and dancing. Sometimes I’m weeping, and pissed, and giving him parenting guidelines. Anyhow, all of this to say, he is the sweetest soft man very often, but he has eaten me alive, pulled me apart, rewired me, conditioned me, and played with all the fears that haunt my dreams. But remember, you should stand up to your Gods if you think they’re being a dick. We know the one thing they don’t: what it’s like to be a human right now. Ily.
