Update

Well, we were able to get to the bottom of the issue that we've had this week. Come to find out, the people who had an obligation to us were fully convinced they were fulfilling their obligation. But, a company they depended on did not give them full information, so they proceeded on an incorrect assumption, leaving them as shocked as we were that their obligation remained unfulfilled. First of all, I'm relieved. I like the fact that, to an extent, my trust in this couple can be restored. Secondly, though, God has confirmed the point - if we rely on things of this world, something, somewhere will very likely be in place to mess us up. But, if we rely on our God, He handles the details even when everything else falls apart. So, even though the relationship in question is much better off than it was in our minds a few hours ago, our trust must not be in the hope that this couple will fulfill their obligations to us in the future. It still must be in our God to take care of every last detail.
