Change

View Larger Map

Big change is coming along for the McManemin Family.

Charles' 18 month assignment is up and we have been diligently praying for a clear path for him to take with his career. God has opened a door for him and he has decided to walk through it ~ I really don't know how to say this; except to just say it.. The new position requires us to relocate.
The Good News: it is NOT overseas (thank you Lord!)
The Bad News: it is over 14 hours away (according to google maps).

As of April (yes, just weeks away) our new home will be in Greenville, South Carolina. I have been quietly emotional this week -putting up a strong and supportive front for him and to our friends so that I did not let the 'cat out of the bag' before the appropriate time. He called me at 7:45 Monday morning and excitedly broke the news to me... I was very quiet, listened to all he had to say and gave him a secretly tearful, yet peaceful, "congratulations, I'm proud of you."
Everyone knows how happy I am here - honestly, I would be perfectly content living here forever. Currently, we only have a 2 1/2 to 3 hour drive to see our families... we have a WONDERFUL church where we have met so many incredible people... especially our nearest and dearest friends: The Browns, Chapmans, Careys, Leflars, Reeves and Stanfields. I am involved in so many different things like Women's Bible Study, MOPS (mother's of preschoolers), Sunday School Class, Tuesday play groups etc etc.. the list could go on and on - the point is: I feel a sense of belonging here, moreso than any other point in my life. My selfish emotions tell me to make him drag me there kicking and screaming and complaining all the way - But my christian duty as a wife is to CHOOSE to be supportive and accept this change with a smile and most importantly to TRUST in our Lord that He'll provide all of that in our new town. My attitude has already been decided: that I'll support and encourage him as the leader of our home ~ and as long as the three of us are together, everything will be okay.


Psalm 56:3 But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
