Mountain Getaway to Pray & Rejoicing in the Lord’s Kind Intentions

Last weekend Kevin and I decided that we needed to unplug from our normal life to pray for God’s provision and guidance about adopting. Kevin booked a cabin in Pigeon Forge and we hopped in the car after I got off work and we were off to our mountain retreat. God’s peace and blessing flowed freely during our prayer time and devotions. Our cabin was completely secluded and the weather was absolutely beautiful! Let me tell ya, Fall is my FAVORITE time of year! Kevin and I were able to sit on our cabin’s front porch and fill out Children of All Nation’s adoption application for the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As we clicked from page to page of this application we prayed for God’s favor and wisdom as we completed each question. Once we clicked "submit" we were submitting not only to our adoption agency's requirements, but we were letting go of any notion of our plans and submitting to God's plans! The Bible says in Jeremiah 29:11 that God knows the plans He has for us! God has a plan for Kevin and Debbie Weldon as well as that little helpless orphan on the other side of the world. It will be such a glorious day when our paths unite us as a family forever by His grace.

We are thanking the Lord this week because he has placed his favor on our application and we have been accepted into the adoption program for the Congo! We have received an agency contract and list of what to expect in the coming months! October 4th marks day 1 on our adoption journey and we are absolutely amazed and privileged to be used by God in such an exciting way! Subscribe to our blog to stay informed on our adoption journey! We need our friend’s and family’s support and prayers during these next several months!
