Can I complain for just a minute please? Okay, so since I have gained 6-8 pounds in the last 3 months from not going to the gym, I decided I would start to go back. I went on Friday and then again on Tuesday. Well, let's just say, I worked my butt off on Tuesday. I went to muscle failure on most muscle groups. Yesterday, I didn't think I could possibly be in any more pain than I was in... So I thought it would be better today. Nope, I was wrong. My biceps, triceps, and abs all kill. It hurt to brush my teeth. It hurts to type... They just hurt all the time, and really bad. Anywho, tonight I'm working with a trainer to see exactly where I'm at with my body fat percentage and all that, and I'm not too excited... Yet, it will be good for me to see that I can't be lazy and eat whatever I want for 3 months at a time. Anywho, just had to share that so you all know I'm miserable. :)

Okay, now onto more important stuff...

Prims last night was good. Cheyanna got sick on the way, so she didn't get to come. A lot of the girls wrote her name in their prayer journals so they would remember to pray for her. Right before snack, Cais said that her throat was hurting and that it hurt when she gulped. I had all the girls come over and lay hands on her and pray. I was going to end it after whoever wanted to prayed. To my surprise, 9 out of the 11 girls prayed (only Rebecca and Becky didn't), and after everyone said that they prayed if they wanted to, Allison ended the prayer. It was perfect. I would have prayed, but it was clear that I was only supposed to agree with them. Then about 5 minutes later, Cais came up to me and said, "It's a miracle, my throat is starting to feel better!" Praise God. Truly, we need to have the faith of a child.

If we all had the faith of a child the world would be a better place. This post started my day off well. Thanks. And say hello to Jesus for me this weekend and tell him we are coming down to see him next month. I got my packet and his info yesterday. Question for you though. Are we allowed to bring him stuff when we go down there? I was curious because of the other kids.

On your muscles being sore...the second day is always the worst. I remember the 3 marathons I ran. Well two actually, the third one ended at 18 miles with cramps so I didn't finish. But the first day after each one I was really sore and could hardly walk. The second day I couldn't even move. I had to go down the stairs on my ass because I couldn't walk down them. Literally! You think I'm kidding? Just ask Patty and Shannon. They thought it was hilarious. Have a safe trip this weekend.

That is so great! Both Sam and Wil have a cough, but Cais has yet to start. This is amazing, as Cais is usually the one to get sick first. Thank you so much for praying for her and for showing the girls how to go before the Lord to pray for someone. What a blessing you are!
