Trust

"I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you." ~Friedrich Nietzsche

In my book, withholding the truth is not something that I find trustworthy. I find it down right repulsive, unethical and in any light... still a lie. Today, I stood before the caseworker and the children's mother saying how I was going to bring a card that Princess made to court tomorrow. I even encouraged their mother to write a note so that I could get it tomorrow to bring home. Suggesting, that opening communication would be a good thing and I would be happy to pass along communication.

With my encouraging words, neither of them told me that court was today. I spoke of tomorrow as they were already going to be departing to go there after this meeting.

I am hurt and upset. I am confused. I don't understand why nothing was said about my having the wrong date in my calendar. I can only trust that God needed to remove me from the situation. That He "wasn't taking a bathroom break" in the middle of everything. I have to trust that He holds this in His palm and I cannot trust man.

"And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you." Psalm 9:10
