Use It or Lose It - Slow Cooker Freezer Meals!

Around here it a time of harvest!  Local gardens are coming in and although we didn’t plant one this year, there has been family and friends who have blessed us with lots of fresh produce.



Gardens come in full force and all at once!  With the abundance of fresh food, I found something neat to try to get the most out of it. Over at Kojos, I found some great recipes for crock pot freezer cooking.

The plan is to put all the ingredients into a freezer bag and when you’re ready to use it, you simply dump it all into a crock pot, add a few simple ingredients and let it cook in the slow cooker.  I have used up my onions, peppers, zucchini and carrots and have some ready to cook meals in the freezer! 

Check out this page for the how to’s and some great recipes.

    I love to use my crockpot and anything I can pull out of the freezer and dump into a pot works for me!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him.  Obeying God doesn’t have to be unattainable or impossible, but can be a joyful, beautiful journey as we go by step and follow Him.
