What a ride it's been over the past few months. The LORD has been up to some serious stuff in the life of the McMahon fam! After much prayer, struggling and wrestling HE confirmed to us that the next season of our life was to be spent ministering to students in the Hotlanta area at 12Stone Church. WHAT?! SERIOUSLY?! Honestly we never saw this coming. Once we finally got up the nerve to be obedient and put the house on Novi Drive on the market the LORD showed us how serious HE was about this. 36 hours later a lady wanted to buy our house for cash in a market that's as dead as a Kansas City Royals Baseball game in the middle of September.
After a transition that turned out to be pretty emotional for a plethora of reasons, we pulled out of California with the G.P.S. system programmed for the big GA. As we crossed over the California/Arizona border somewhere near Needles at dusk we wondered if we'd ever return to this sunny state we knew as home for a little over 5 years. I guess the Father only knows. Now as we begin a new journey we feel like kids going on their first roller coaster ride at a theme park. A little scared. A lot of excitement. And an incredible desire to enjoy every moment of it, one day sitting with good friends and Bible heroes of old being able to tell them, "Dude....check out what we did!!"

As much as I miss you two right now, I must say I am so very proud to be able to talk about you guys and say that you truly are obedient to the LORD. You are the example of listening when God tells you to do something. I'm greatful for that.
Some of the hardest life decisions come with a heart that longs to follow Christ, and the strong emotion that connects us with people. Letting go is never easy, and saying "goodbye" (only temporal in the life of His kids) is the hardest thing ever - but you'll be better and stronger because of the journey He's had you on. One last thing, dear ones ... nothing, NOTHING feels better than being smack dab in the center of God's will - NOTHING. Even if it takes you across the globe. I'm real proud of the McMahon's and hope that someday the Lord will allow our paths to cross this side of heaven. Go Anson - GO GOD!
