Way to go, Laura! That is an awsome goal, and I know you can achieve it. And doing it with Justin makes it even more worthwhile. Just let me know if you need someone to watch the girls for long weekend runs or anything.

Got up and worked out this morning, but not without a small fight. I snoozed several times and was struggling with the decision to get out of bed, and then I heard Will start his sleep crying, which usually lasts quite a while. Now this might sound strange, but since reading "Captivating," my eyes have become opened to the spiritual attacks which Satan uses probably more than I ever thought possible. So, still halfway asleep, I thought, "He's using my son to try to get me to give up on my goal of working out this morning." Then I thought, "In Jesus' name, LEAVE HIM ALONE!" I said that in my head 3 times, and you know what, Will stopped crying, just like that. It was amazing. Then I got MAD that my son was being used against me, and you better believe I got up and worked out. So, I know that it will keep getting harder, but I also know that God is on my side helping me fight.

Do you guys want to get together this weekend to celebrate Dad's birthday? I was thinking maybe we could meet in Fairview Heights or my house and go out to eat or something. Lunchtime would be best since Nora will be working at night. Love!
