Y’all crack me up.
Some of the comments y’all left on this post… where I casually mentioned some wonderful news?
All over the place.
But mostly focused on adoption related stuff.
Pffffft.
As far as news on traveling for sweet Poppy G, I’m afraid it’s going to be a bit longer. With Chinese New Year around the bend, I doubt we’ll get any news for at least a few more weeks.
Maybe even longer… just totally trusting His timing on it all.
No one guessed that I’d lost 5 pounds?
Won a trip to Disney World?
Found a vehicle we could afford to fit our entire family?
Got a chance to meet Steven Curtis Chapman?
Started writing a book?
Had been asked to be the subject of a documentary?
Huh???
Two of the above are true.
And it’s not the 5 pounds.
I wish.
But God? Has been in the house. Seriously. It’s been such a journey I’ve been on recently – a crazy, crazy good journey – and He has been showing up in some mighty big ways.
Can’t wait to share the full scoop.
“Now glory be to God! By His mighty power at work within us, He is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.”
~ Ephesians 3:20
Someone is going to write a book on your family (and of course interview you and the entire clan in the process) and then make a movie based on the book…..all of you playing yourselves?
You are killing me! Can't wait to hear the news when it's the right time to share!
Leaving us hanging like that is just cruel and unusual, girl. Why, oh, why do you do that to us? I'm going to be stalking you in earnest now, you know that right? 🙂
book. (you + another author)
documentary.
which is darn near as exciting any of the rest 🙂
I have been following your blog for several weeks now. I love it! Our family has recently made the decision to adopt our 2nd child from China, our first time in the SN's program. I would love to know what agency you are using for Penelope. I've narrowed it down to two but I would totally trust your opinion.
Girl. Seriously. Pins and needles here! 🙂 Hee hee! When the time is right, you'll let us know but golly the suspense is killing us (me)!!! 😉
How much fun!! Can't wait to hear what God's doing. I'm guessing your crazy good journey involves a book/documentary.
Oh you are so bad….. keeping us hanging on like this!! I am going to say that someone is going to do a documentary on your family and follow you to China…….and that you won a trip to Disney:) Can't wait to hear what it is that is keeping you disrtacted! How long are you going to make us wait?
xoxo,

I am guessing documentary and Steven Curtis Chapman! You know I have often thought of writing to someone like Oprah about you. you inspire so many and you do God's work so beautifully here:)
HOPE it's a book and documentary….but that's my selfish hope…LOL For YOU, dear….I hope it's a trip to Disney or meeting SCC.
BTW, we are on week 3 of waiting for our article 5. Can't hardly stand it these days…..
Well, aren't you just so naughty.
But I just love the possibilities!!
Share soon.
Please.
…I should have said in MY post that I have some news that I'll be sharing via the Salsa Pie blog on Monday. It's exciting………Now, I'm doubly excited. Your exciting news and MY exciting news? I just might burst. Can't wait till you spill the beans!
Where can I pre-order the book???!!!
Well those are some pretty wonderful options!!! All of them! I can't wait to find out. Have fun!
A cliffhanger…really??? lol!
OK…I'll play…documentary & Steven Curtis Chapman AND I think both events are somehow related to each other…
From the verse you ended with, whatever the news, it's ALL GOOD, of that I'm SURE!! 🙂
I'm gonna guess SCC and documentary. Can't to hear what you and He are up to!!
Gin =)
Are you kidding me?! You're such a tease.
I'm going to guess…
You met SCC… and… um?? TLC wants you to be the next "big family reality show". lol.
Hey Stefanie! Can't wait to hear what's in the works!?!?!?!?!? How exciting!
We received our I 800 approval on Monday…..FINALLY!!! Now waiting on NVC and A5…….but as you know Chinese New Year can throw a wrench into things!!! Hoping & Praying we both get to meet our girls soon!
Stefanie, you are SO cute! 😉 You always manage to make me giggle when I visit!! I don't think you have 5 lbs to lose, so that wouldn't have been one of my 2 guesses anyway, but I do hope you'll reveal! 🙂
I can't WAIT to hear what God has been up to in your family. I love it when He shows Himself over and over again. And there is nothing better than a great testimony and praise report about our Heavenly Father!!
Was so hoping it was news on your travels… that Poppy is CUTE AS A BUTTON!! Can't wait to see her in your home with all your other Littles!!
OOXX,
Tanya
Lovin' every piece of your story…"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us…"
Well all 5 options ROCK so excited to hear which two are "real"!
In Christ Alone,

Well – the documentary would be cool – I'd enjoy seeing that one – and meeting Chapman would be cool too…..the car might not be too hard – I mean schools sell old busses all the time…..just sayin'!;)
hugs – aus and co.
Ok…so you started writing a book on how to loss weight by wrestling a snowblower. And the maker of the snowblower decided to give you a vehicle to drive down to Disney World as a thank you for promoting their product.
While there you happened to bump into Steven's family (who has been reading your blog) and he asked you to be in his newest documentary. Yup. That's it!
Documentary and SCC are my guesses. The documentary seems far enough out there that it's just got to be it. Can't wait to hear more.
waiting patiently 😉
I've got my fingers crossed for a CAR that fits y'all! That would be a HUGE deal!!!!
Nancy-Mama to 6 going on 7 and has NO CAR to all of us anymore!!!!
With that list you can't go wrong! 🙂
Can't wait to HEAR the full scoop! :]
I can't wait to hear all about it!! Don't make us wait too long!!
Anxious to hear just what else God is up to in your lives…how exciting!!
Cannot wait to hear what your news is! So excited!
