I seem to be having trouble downloading the rest of the pictures of this weekend :( I shall try again later with the hubby's help. This week-end was too fun and now it is sunday night getting ready to start a new week. It was pretty amazing going back to the corn maze where 9 years ago Adam and I went with some friends of ours Don and Miriam on a beautiful scenery drive to the corn maze and pumpkin cannon. We walked around the maze and I felt weak and tired, was not feeling good at all so Adam ended up pushing me around in Eva's stroller while she was on my lap. Later that week went to a doctor appointment and found out I was pregnant with our second child, Keona Christine Schafer. Who would have thought 9 years later we would find ourselves back at that corn maze with three more children. It was pretty surreal with Adam taking a picture of Keona by the corn maze makes it one of the most amazing things that happened to us in our lives.
In church today as Adam and I were sitting in sunday school Brother Eric Spanbauer was teaching us about the difference between having just a spirit and having spirit along with a body, talking about the pre mortal life and the war in heaven. What struck me was when we were just in spirit body we felt no pain, i turn to Adam and I was thinking how amazing would that be if we were no longer in pain. Then after that talked about how we never experience full joy if we hadn't come down on earth to get bodies or have children. If i had to start over again pick having just a spirit body or come down to earth to get a body, I would do the the latter even though my body has so much pain and getting older i don't regret all we have experience and have. We have four beautiful and amazing children and a live that keeps us on our heels and an adventure in every corner. We have the good life and these trials we have just makes us stronger and helps us rely on our God even more. We have a bumper sticker on our van I love to always apply to everything we do "It's all good!"

That's fun that you went to that same corn maze many years ago! I like what you said about no pain and how it is better for us to come and experience what we have and how it makes us grow. I would like to change parts of my life, but without those experiences, I wouldn't have grown as much as I could have. I look back and realize I am stronger than I would have thought.
Hey sis,
So sorry i was slow in responding to this comment, I had neglected my blog again heh oops. Anyway, thanks for the compliment on my post!:) I agree it is true all the experiences we have helped us grow more than we realize. True i would like to change parts of my life as well but then our lives would be too perfect. We won't be perfect until the next life.:) How's life? Hope all is well?!
