Today as we embark upon another anniversary of the birth my our dear little girl Katharina, I reflect back and think.....
1. she was so tiny and strong she would hold her big sisters fingers
2. she captured the hearts of not only family but the head of the dept. and staff
3. she was an answer to prayer I asked the Lord to allow her to be born healthy, and she was, i can hear the strong stubborn cry without the tapping on the bottom
4. she was so beautiful, soft, and had beautiful eyes
5. she was and always will be our treasure
Katharina has taught as many things. Even though she is not down on earth, she is in aa FAR BETTER PLACE....no more hurting, no more sinning....oh i miss her, but friends you must realize i would not ask her to come back for one milli second....heaven is again this year one more step sweeter to us...
For those who have prayed, send notes, and just plain cared, on behalf of Dan and I thank you!!!

NOT ONCE BUT TWICE, WHY ME LORD?
On Thursday, December 13, 1990, my worst dream became a reality. It became the lowest day of my life….so I thought. My daughter, Danielle Nicole, was to be stillborn. My heart broke as the doctor told me the devastating news. I cried, “IT MUST BE A MISTAKE!” but it wasn’t.
Little did I realize though I would have to go through a “normal” labor to deliver her. But God was merciful and gave me a four relatively painless hours of labor. I thank Him for that now, but at the time, I was destroyed. All my dreams were shattered! “Why me, Lord” was a question I asked constantly.
People immediately began to offer advice, and much of it was pretty good. Among other suggestions, they advised, I have another child as soon as Dan and I were ready. The doctors, though they could not make any promises, felt there was no reason why I couldn’t have another child.
In time, we took their advice when we felt the Lord was leading. The weeks and months began to pass, and everything was going fairly well with my new pregnancy. I was apprehensive, but that was to be expected. We knew I would deliver early and had prepared for that day. There was no doubt in my mind, I would be having a little girl, and then we would have three wonderful girls on earth and one in heaven with the Lord Jesus. However, it was not to be.
Have you ever had to put away a baby’s crib, a baby’s clothes, a baby’s toys, and everything else that goes with a precious little one? As you put the things away, you remember times past. When the little one did this one did this or that. However, when you put the baby’s things away without ever getting to build the memories from seeing the baby use them, it is a different story. This is what happened to us not once, but twice.
On the afternoon of June 7, 1982 Katharina Nicole came into this world. Though she was premature, the doctors believed she would live. Katharina was a fighter; she was breathing on her own, even though she was so small. Sometime during the next 36 hours, God called our precious little girl to be with Him. The only times I had seen her had been when she was born and right before she went to be with the Lord. I WAS SO ANGRY!!!WHY, WHY, WHY? I wondered what heinous sin I had committed that had so displeased the Lord. I wondered why women could kill their children and be permitted to have more. I wondered why God had taken my babies. Why? That wasn’t what was suppose to happen, was it? My girls were suppose to run and play in the sun. My girls were supposed to laugh and grow and have families of their own one day.
Now, though, I realize that all which transpired with our dear babies was part of God’s divine plan for our lives. Why? How can I say such a thing? The reasons are simple. Because of Katharina’s death, a little girl questioned her mother because she wanted to make sure of her salvation. This little girl has now committed herself to the mission field. WE PRAISE THE LORD FOR THIS LITTLE GIRL AND ANY OTHERS WHOSE LIVES WILL BE TOUCHED BY DANIELLE AND KATHARINA’S HOMEGOING!!!
Do you know Jesus as your personal Saviour? He willingly suffered an agonized death on the cross and rose so that you and I might be able to spend eternity with Him. “As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one…For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans3:10, 23). We are all sinners and deserve to die and spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord”. (Romans 6:23)
God’s gift to us is so pure, so easy to receive. We would like to know if you have accepted the Lord as your Saviour. God loved me so much He gave His only Son Jesus so I could go to heaven. Why wouldn’t I be able to give my little girls back to Him? I know I’ll see them again one day, and affectionately by Grandpa Schnarr, calling them badness 3 and 4 is spending a lot of time with them. Just as he did with Victoria and Tiffany.
We believe the beloved Lord allowed us to go through this experience not once, but twice, for a reason---to bring glory and honor to Him. I no longer dwell on WHY because I now know it was His divine will. I still miss Danielle and Katharina and always shall. My heart holds a special place for them, just as it does for Victoria and Tiffany. They are all the children the Lord has given us, and we thank Him for them.
Our hearts desire is for you to be touched by this. We will be praying for you. We wish you to accept the free gift God has for you eternity in heaven! If you have any questions please let me know!

FORGIVENESS!!
LORD HELP US TO BE ABLE TO FORGIVE OTHERS, NOT ONLY BECAUSE ITS SOMETHING THAT YOU REQUIRE BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT BENEFITS IF WE COULD POSSESS IF WE DO. FATHER GOD, HELP US TO UNDERSTAND THE PRINCIPLES BEHIND FORGIVENESS AND HOW IN IT , WE NOT ONLY RELEASE OURSELVES, BUT THE INDIVIDUAL WE HOLD OUGHT WITH AS WELL. LORD , HELP US TO UNDERSTAND THAT FORGIVENESS DOES NOT MEAN THAT ONE CONDONES HURTFUL ACTIONS, FORGETTING WHAT HAPPENED , LOOKING THE OTHER WAY, EXCUSING SOMEONE OR SEEKING REVENGE; HOWEVER IN IT INTELS BEING ABLE TO TRUELY LET GO, OR FORGIVE DOES NOT FORGIVE THE ACT, BUT SIMPLY FORGIVES THE PERSON, EVEN IF THE ACT WAS CRUEL AND EXTREME . FORGIVING IS OUR WAY OF TAKING THAT PERSONS POWER THAT THEY HAVE OVER US AWAY AND BY IT , WE NO LONGER CHOOSE TO DEFINE OURSELVES AS A VICTIM IN RELATION TO THAT PERSON . AND ULTIMATLEY LORD, HELP US WITH FORGIVENESS BECAUSE YOUR DESIRE IS FOR US TO BE HEALED AND FREE, NOT BOUND BY EMOTIONAL INSECURITIES THAT COULD DEVELOPE FROM IT. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT WHEN JESUS WAS HUNG ON THE CROSS HE SAID TO GOD FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO. HE DIDNT TELL THEM HE FORGAVE THEM HE RIGHT AWAY ASK GOD TO FORGIVE THEM. IN JESUS NAME I PRAY AMEN!!

FOR CANADIAN JILL
"JACK WHERE ARE YOU" Really is a weird question if he fell down and broke his crown, he definately would not be answering Jill....So why is it we as people get a kick out of meeting someone named Jill and asking the weirdest question.
Many of you met crazy Jill in an earlier post, tonights post is about Cdn Jill. I met her again while playing on fb. I was impressed in her generous giving spirit. If i needed something Jill was one of the ones who would first come to my rescue.
Over time Cdn. Jill and I exchanged phone numbers, because she was hurting and i wanted to help. Evnenthouh her heart was breaking she continued to help everyone...I soon figured out what was going on... Jill's mom was dieing, when i found out i cried. I have never lost my mother, my best friend like she was doing, therefore, i could not understand. Here i go on a rabbit trail...I get upset when someone says "OH I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL", my first question is.."OH YOU HAVE LOST YOUR MOTHER" and most of the time tnoe reply, "IS NO, BUT" there is know but in this case...okay back to the story.
Jill, waa at her wits end. She was losing her role model and her best friend. Now is the time i should tell you her husband Mike has to be one of the awesome men around, he did everything Jill needed, BEFORE she knew she needed it. Mike you are pretty terrific I cant wait until we meet in person.
Wow, i am sure taking alot of rabbit trails. As time went on and Jill had to make some hard decisions, she became an inspiration to me. One night after we talked she went into her mom and told her it was okay to go meet Jesus now, she would be fine. God still being so merciful decided He wasnot done with her yet...and because of that i grew a close attachment to Jill. Even though her mom had help coming in, Jill wanted to be the one to be with her mom and doing everything. Then the first piece of dreaded news, Jill was NOT to feed or give her liquids anymore..surely we thought God would take her soon, again we were wrong..One night crying on the phone with me Jill admitted that she had to start giving her mom a shot, a shot that would eventually cause her death. I cried with Jill and tried to remind her God is in control...He is the only one who give you strength....That night she had a battle with herself, Mike and I had told her we would stand by any decision she made. When I called the next am, she had done it, my heart bursted with joy, and excitment see, the needle that would eventually kill her took away the pain. Slowly from her feet up over the next couple days, Jill would watch as part of her mom died. Jill told me many stories of her mom over those days.
At 11;OO PM there was a message on fb for me, I did not have to read it to know what it said. Jill's mom had graduated with honors to be with our Lord and Saviour for the rest of eternitu. Jill and i thought of the most outrageous things to mix our crying with laughter. Her mom could now chase after the little kids, no pain. She could play hopstoch with NO PAIN. More importantly she got to meet some very influental people, the Lord himself, Ruth, Esther, Naomi, David, to name a few. She lives in a mansion all by herself and walks the streets of gold, no more pot holes...Oh what a joyous time, but filled with grief. The day came for her to say goodbye one last time. Jill was to read something she wrote. Jill did not think she could do it. I promised her i would hold her hand through it and reminder her how strong she is. Jill did a great job, I am blessed to have such a devoted friend as she.
I did give her a sugggestion which may help others....this Christmas, the first Christmas is going to be hard on the grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. I suggested to Jill, to find one thing which was important to them individually and wrap it and put it under the Christmas tree. Now, before everyone thinks i am nuts, the reason is this...everyone will be walking on egg shells and tense, because Jill,'s mom made Christmas fun. I suggested she find something in her mothers items to give each grandchild. When it comes time to open gifts they not only will have something special from grandma, but, they will all have the cry they need to have due to the emptiness...the rest of the day will be less stressful.
Jill you are an amazing woman, and i. am honored to be called friend by you. I love you!
(PS) SOME MAY WONDER WHY I WENT INTO SUCH DETAIL, IT IS MY MINDSET THAT YOU FORGET WHAT HAPPPENED IN THE LAST DAYS AND I WANTED TO REMIND HER OF SOME TENDER MOMENTS
if you are unsure or not absolutely positive you would go to heaven and meet Jills mom, and many others, please send me a messae to valerieschnarr@gmail.com i would love to show you how you can know 100 percent where you will go after death!

ADRPADRP
COME ON ADMIT IT.....YOU AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER PROBABLY HAD AN IMAGINARY FRIEND....I AM A LATE BLOOMER....UNTIL NOW I WOULD NOT HAVE ALLOW MYSELF TO HAVE ONE..... IN fact my best friend Jill has the same imaginary friend.... we have named our imaginary friend adrp adrp, say it fast adrpadrp.... adrpadrp is so funny.... our friend goes with us anywhere and tells jokes the whole time. I know already most of you are being judgemental but that is okay with us..our imaginary friend wears green tights, and never wants to grow up. This is why Jill and I like adstrp adrp,..from this friend we have learned alot.
1. adrpadrp brought Jill and I together,now we are the best of friends and I am learning how to relax, oh no i used the nasty word RELAX
2. amazingly Jill and I can both understand what adrpadrp is trying to say... and it makes us laugh like crazy.
,
3. Jill is obsessive compulsive, (for those who do not know what this means, all her tupperware lids are in the cupboard according to size) now for a surprise for most of you i do have this tendancy, in my clutter i am very organized, and usually know where everything is...adrp adrp though flies by the seat of their tights frustrating both of us...
4. neither of us have met adrp adrp, but we have an idea what our friend looks like... sorry i cant share with you Jill threatened to beat me up....we dont want to share.... (I guess that is what we need to work not next NOT lol )we want to be not the three stoogies, but the three musketeers... we have already been through alot together we have laughed, and cried together....
5. We both have had a block recently of our imaginary friend, it seems the big bad wolf who is really a meek little slimmy rat is surrounding him and watching him like a hawk.... we miss our imaginary friend and wonder if we will ever have them back...this one of the times you want to each our and choke the big bad wolf or set a trap for the slimmy little rat....personally i want to set a trap but the funny things is slimmy is setting their own traps and being caught in their lies...hopefully adrp adrp will be strong enough to slide out of the rats possession.
6 sigh for now there is nothing more than i can tell you about our green tighted, imginary friend other than we miss and are lonely without adrpadrp

FeiSTY, RELAXING, GROWTH, TEARS,VICTORY
FEISTY, RELAXING, GROWTH, TEARS,VICTORY
HI to all my friends and family I am going to clue you in on whats been going on. Sit back put your slippers on,hot coco, and reading glasses, sorry Dan could not resist,They are working
We are, completely moved into our new house. But hopefully Dan is waiting for me to come home to unpack boxes. After a discussion with a couple of my doctors they felt I needed for the betterment of my health. I am not doing well (and still I have to be careful) I have been in and out of the emergency rooms for several months due to migraines. I appreciate more than i can express here, Dan did a good job of taking the stress of moving away from me, HE SENT ME TO MICHIGAN. You may wonder what is in MI? I will tell you soon. While i am here, I draw alot of strength from Jill and awesome hubby.
I am pleased to say that my trip here is been beneficial.
SHE DOESN'T KNOW THIS BUT THIS BLOG IS DEDICATED TO A WONDER CHRISTIAN FRIEND WHO HAS HELPED ME SO MUCH...
My friend is definitely feisty, however, i have to duck in the truck when she starts yelling at all the tourists and pretends to speed up when they are jaywalking. I am not afraid to tell people if something is wrong or they offended me. Well i wont say i am not afraid, I am but....I can do it when she is with me. I have actually done it when she has not been around, but praise God for cell phones, I feel so guilty for asking what i want she is speed dial 8.
My friend has taught me to relax, When i first arrived, I would know we were, expecting someone at the door, but, when the door handle jingled i almost fell off the recliner. If i heard it once i heard it a hundred times it is OK...NEVER did she say relax, to me that is a very nasty five letter word that should be deleted from our vocabulary. I am remind that fear comes from satan himself and not the Lord, I will still NOT go in an airplane i am not daring for that yet. LOL
Over the last 3 weeks i have grown in the Lord. He has shown me so many blessings,and taken negative things and turned them around for good. My friend has a kind word for ALMOST everyone, I can think of only 2 she doesn't. No i am not telling you who. The Bible teaches the older woman should teach the younger. My friend is teaching me to be open to new ideas and thoughts. I have been able to show her a few things. My prayer life has increased alot. I am able to be calm enough to pray. I am so excited i can speak quickly and the Lord not only hears but listens to my tears. There are many other ways she has helped me grow.
It has not been a breeze being here. Many tears have been shed by myself and my friend, We have not only cried for own situations but the situations we both have been through. We shared our hopes and dreams, and eventually brought each other back to reality. Though we just met in person, it is if we have one mind. In fact, the joke around here is we each have one brain cell and they meet together for only one hour a day. The problem is we are never sure when that will be lol. Both have shed tears over friends and family. It makes it so much better when you have someone not only to cry with but to actually understand. What an awesome experience.
Victory only comes from turning everything over to the Lord, I have struggled with this...but not as bad as when i got here.
MY FRIEND IS JILL.....OH WHAT A SWEET BLESSING YOU HAVE BEEN TO ME....
Dear Jill,(none of this would be possible without the love of the Lord)
there is so much i want to say to you. First and foremost is accepting me for who i am and not trying to constantly change me. You have loved me even when i was unlovable. You showed me I could be loved unconditionally. Jill you taught me it was ok to laugh, I remember the first time i laughed with you on the phone, I looked around to see if anyone was watching. Now we have a great time laughing.
Jill you are so easy to love. You are an amazing woman with many talents you hide like i do, lets make a pact when we are apart we will continue with the talents God has given us. Where i am weak you are strong, where you are strong i am weak. I have never really had a "girlfriend" (meant as girl who is a friend lol) like you before. I kept waiting for you to tell me i was a disappointment to you. I still have not heard those words. You have been able to push me to heights i never thought i could attain, remember the BIG hill....uuuugggghhhh is this where i said the devil made me do it...just kidding, in all truth you are an angel God brought into my life, at the moment i needed you more.
I cant wait to see what the Lord has for us as best friends forever..
JILLIGAN I LOVE YOU!!!!!

My friend is definitely feisty, however, i have to duck in the truck when she starts yelling at all the tourists and pretends to speed up when they are jaywalking. I am not afraid to tell people if something is wrong or they offended me. Well i wont say i am not afraid, I am but....I can do it when she is with me. I have actually done it when she has not been around, but praise God for cell phones, I feel so guilty for asking what i want she is speed dial 8.
My friend has taught me to relax, When i first arrived, I would know we were, expecting someone at the door, but, when the door handle jingled i almost fell off the recliner. If i heard it once i heard it a hundred times it is OK...NEVER did she say relax, to me that is a very nasty five letter word that should be deleted from our vocabulary. I am remind that fear comes from satan himself and not the Lord, I will still NOT go in an airplane i am not daring for that yet. LOL
Over the last 3 weeks i have grown in the Lord. He has shown me so many blessings,and taken negative things and turned them around for good. My friend has a kind word for ALMOST everyone, I can think of only 2 she doesn't. No i am not telling you who. The Bible teaches the older woman should teach the younger. My friend is teaching me to be open to new ideas and thoughts. I have been able to show her a few things. My prayer life has increased alot. I am able to be calm enough to pray. I am so excited i can speak quickly and the Lord not only hears but listens to my tears. There are many other ways she has helped me grow.
It has not been a breeze being here. Many tears have been shed by myself and my friend, We have not only cried for own situations but the situations we both have been through. We shared our hopes and dreams, and eventually brought each other back to reality. Though we just met in person, it is if we have one mind. In fact, the joke around here is we each have one brain cell and they meet together for only one hour a day. The problem is we are never sure when that will be lol. Both have shed tears over friends and family. It makes it so much better when you have someone not only to cry with but to actually understand. What an awesome experience.
Victory only comes from turning everything over to the Lord, I have struggled with this...but not as bad as when i got here.
MY FRIEND IS JILL.....OH WHAT A SWEET BLESSING YOU HAVE BEEN TO ME....
Dear Jill,(none of this would be possible without the love of the Lord)
there is so much i want to say to you. First and foremost is accepting me for who i am and not trying to constantly change me. You have loved me even when i was unlovable. You showed me I could be loved unconditionally. Jill you taught me it was ok to laugh, I remember the first time i laughed with you on the phone, I looked around to see if anyone was watching. Now we have a great time laughing.
Jill you are so easy to love. You are an amazing woman with many talents you hide like i do, lets make a pact when we are apart we will continue with the talents God has given us. Where i am weak you are strong, where you are strong i am weak. I have never really had a "girlfriend" (meant as girl who is a friend lol) like you before. I kept waiting for you to tell me i was a disappointment to you. I still have not heard those words. You have been able to push me to heights i never thought i could attain, remember the BIG hill....uuuugggghhhh is this where i said the devil made me do it...just kidding, in all truth you are an angel God brought into my life, at the moment i needed you more.
I cant wait to see what the Lord has for us as best friends forever..
JILLIGAN I LOVE YOU!!!!!
