Travel Legs

I'm gathering my travel legs about me, I've had some Coffee Scoop coffee (thanks always to my parents freshcoffeescoop.com) and my migraine is slowly disappearing, therefore, I can think more clearly to add:

correction! Kait landed in Amsterdam ~ 1:00 AM. That timing seems better. My cell phone reads her text rcvd at 2:17 AM and my reply at 1:18 AM. How cool is that?! :)

I received a text a little after:
"Touchdown! Great flight these dutch people know how to fly. Morning! ..." 

That's K8 for ya. :) haha

I thought I would finally add a few nooks and crannies of God's blessings thus far ... Here is one: laaast Friday K8 and I went to CVS to pick up her malaria rx and another rx for the trip. The CVS pharmacist told us upon pick up that the malaria rx would be ~$140-160 (I honestly cannot remember the number but it's prob. the former.) At this point in the game, K8's Uganda fund had no wiggle room nor did her parent's. Anyway, the wonderful pharmacist told us right away that she knew we could get a less expensive comparable replacement. She called the doctor, she called insurance, and said she would call us back! We are not accustomed to this type of customer service--we just switched to CVS and happily, you might gather. :) We received the pharmacist's call several hours later and lo and behold, she was able to get K8 a new rx however K8 had to start taking it the next day and she did not have any in stock and would not until that Sunday. Oh. BUT! She called around to the other local CVS's and another local CVS was holding the rx for K8, ready for pick and get this--free! WOW! Praise the LORD! :) At this point were this tid bit in Psalms ... there would be a Selah right here. So, Selah! Let's calmly think about that. :)

#2 Nook and Cranny of tracing the Hand of GOD ... this makes me tear. We sent the email/fb/blog request that K8 required extra supplies, funds, etc. Our faithful friends answered the call including a cutie patutie Granddaughter who is following this blog. ;) Not only that--Grandma and Granddaughter went out in last week's snow storm, got stuck in a black out in the back of the Target store (emergency lights?!) suspending the shopping trip! Because of you, our Uganda little ones will be blessed with crafts, super skin/lip lotion
 goodies, and candy--they love the candy apparently.

#3 Yes a third Nook and Cranny ... we call these friends our "egg people" because when we have eggs--they are our faithful egg purchasers. Anyway...K8's floundering Uganda budget did not afford the traveling toiletries. I wasn't too worried, I just told K8 to pray and watch God work. God worked through our wonderful egg peoples ... K8 has the best toiletries, I'm certain, of anyone on the trip and she doesn't have to worry about adverse reactions from chemical laden products...ok, here's the plug, trulypureandnatural.com. hahaha

I've been up off and on all night and I've been typing this for 1/2 hour ... so, over and out until the next update!

Thanks for staying tuned and have a great LORD's day! This is the day that the LORD hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.
