April 2nd

I write this note as I lay in bed and I hear screaming - my voice screaming, “I hate you” to God - screaming like a demented fiend. He’s imitated my voice.

I can hear my godson saying my name, but he’s not here with me.

For weeks, he’s been calling me a whore and a liar.

I’ve finally realized he’s a hypocrite. I'm so slow. He keeps telling me to watch what I say. Still asking me questions and trying to expose me in some kind of wrong.

Sometimes I tell myself I’m crazy. I tried that today and while I was driving, on the radio popped up a sermon about Job and how Satan told God that he was walking to and fro on the earth, then somewhere else a friend talked of a pregnant whore (I planned on having a baby this year, but God called me), walk in the house and TV is playing comedy and for the first time ever I hear comedy about the devil. These things all happened in a two hour span.

I dreamed once that I was standing in a crowd of people. We were on the street and everything was gray – gray buildings, gray streets, people moving in a blur, some walking, some running around and there was a lion in the crowd. When it saw me, it came straight for me. I thought it would bite me, but when it got right close, it turned and walked away.

God said, “Why didn’t you attack her?”

I didn’t understand then what HE meant, but now I realize that I wasn’t attacked because God was with me.

Could one being be so wicked? Powers and principalities? I don’t know what that is. Is he just a dark ball of energy - a culmination of all the evil that ever happened in the world that feeds and lives on hapless souls?

11:10 pm

God’s waiting for me to scream for him to get off of me.

That’s comforting.
