Deception... more confirmation

Again, God is watching out for me!!! He keeps giving me hints that there's something "hinky" that needs to be looked into.

T had told me he would be in North Dakota from the 8th until maybe the 21st or 22nd. I asked him to give me more of a definite return date because I needed to make plans... Christmas was getting closer. 

The last week that T was in North Dakota I had a feeling that he wasn't there the whole time he said he would be. I found hints all over the place.

I had texted him several times and eventually started calling him Tuesday the 16th (the day after his 51st birthday). His phone was shut off, it went immediately to voicemail. He finally texted back on Wednesday that he wouldn't be finishing the job until probably Friday Dec 19th. (Sheesh, I almost sound like a stalker, haha)

On Friday I tried to find out when he'd be home so I could make plans... and I needed to know for certain that he'd be home. The woodstove needs to be attended to and there were animals to consider. I called again and got the voicemail. I decided to see if the password was the same as it was last spring... it was. I listened to a message he had skipped. It was from the foreman out in ND. Tony had obviously left ND on Tuesday sometime.

Side note: while I was in his voicemail I changed the answering message. I had changed it last spring, it sounded like I was irritated, which I was. I changed it to sound more pleasant. 

So, I've been keeping the woodstove going... having to lift huge logs because he didn't bother to split any. I've been taking care of the animals (actually the most pleasant part of the 2 weeks... other than the sleep number bed). I was the one that had to deal with almost no hot water because he didn't bother to clean the hot water exchange before he left. I had spent days there cleaning rooms out. And I was the one to run around for days trying to get his business insurance reinstated. And he's off with his girlfriend when he's told me he's working. Gee... how was that supposed to make me feel?!

But God...

As He always does... God comforted me and changed my perspective. It was just confirmation that T has no intention of doing the right thing. And I have to let him go to meet the consequences he's hurdling himself toward.
