Popsicles have become my new favorite thing.

I'm beginning to dream about popsicles crazily enough.

But I think you'll understand why when I explain.

You see the other day a couple weeks ago my worker at my adoption agency sent me an email. I wasn't really expecting contact about anything specific so my heart jumped a bit, thinking it could mean that a new child had been listed on the waiting child list. That's the list I will "find" our little one on, hopefully soon, but right now there aren't any that I feel God is saying is "ours." I thought maybe, just maybe, our little one is now available.

But alas, it wasn't to be. She was emailing about something else. And in my response I jokingly said to her that my heart raced a bit thinking "This could be it." Her response to me was "Oh no, we can't have that, maybe we need a code word so you'll KNOW." :)

And I, also jokingly, responded, "How about Popsicles?" :)

This past Friday I got a "real" Popsicles email. A new little one was being listed and she asked if I wanted to inquire and receive more information. This new little one was still older than I felt was what God had called us to, and I was unsure. I emailed an online friend and I hesitantly talked to Braeden and Olivia about the email. I thought for sure they would immediately jump up and down and say that that was HER, that was their sister, which is why I was hesitant. But they shocked me. They didn't. At all. While I was explaining, Olivia was shaking her head as if to say, "No, I don't think that's her." And Braeden said without hesitation, "No, (so and so's) ONE, not THREE!" I was very surprised, but it was confirmation to me that God is in control. That I just need to keep trusting HIM. That all will play out in HIS time. And that our REAL Popsicle will be here before we know it!
