Ok...so it's a LONG song! Yesterday we had a flight leaving Amsterdam heading to Paris and then on to Rome getting in 2 hours before our flight to Ethiopia. We were thrilled to print boarding passes as there was no way we were going to get in to correct part of airport to print a boarding pass. We went to bed with an alarm to be up at 5:00 am to head to airport to see if we could get on another flight as they were predicting LOTS of snow in Paris and we did not want to be STUCK in Paris. For some reason (read that GOD) we woke up in the middle of the night and I got online to see what other options we had. I found a flight going to Dubai and then on to Ethiopia and we called KLM to try and book that flight. The first lady cancelled our Amsterdam/Paris/Rome tickets and tried to book this flight...she said she had it but we would need to talk with the International service desk to confirm it. We were on hold for another hour and half before we ever spoke with anybody. Finally when someone did come on the line she told us that flight was sold out...she then tried to get us on flight to Nairobi and then Ethiopia but that flight was full also. After another 45 minutes she told us she could book us on a direct flight to Rome leaving at 1:00 giving us plenty of time to make connecting Ethiopian Air flight at midnight. We took that option and tried to print our boarding passes but computer would not find reservations for us so we used old boarding passes that we printed night before to get through security. We made it to airport at 8:00 am not knowing how long security lines were (they were not long) and FINALLY made it inside airport! WOOHOO! Now we are waiting at gate to see if the flight indeed takes off but we've watched dozens of flights leave now. When we get to Rome we will have to find our bags and then go out and recheck them through Ethiopian Air for midnight flight. Please pray with us that we can locate our bags smoothly and rebook them smoothly and get on our Ethiopian flight SMOOTHLY! We are praying that we are holding our daughter in less than 24 hours!!! We have a long way to go but we are praising a sovereign God through all of this! Praying we're posting about more than sitting in an Amsterdam airport SOON!
Thanks for your continued prayers...we can feel them!
Becuase of Him,
