JULY DAILY DEVOTION

Isn’t that the truth. It is much easier to talk to God than to listen. We have a prayer room in our house. It is all white with a Cross and it says Be still and know that I am God. I have learned to speak to God, but then to wait 5-10 minutes and wait for him to speak to my spirit. If we are praying, we need to remember that we need to make sure all things are aligned with his ways. When we believe and really listen, we will hear him speak to our spirit. Today when you pray wait with expectancy.

GOD IS GOOD. . . ALL THE TIME!!

JULY DAILY DEVOTION – 7/23

No matter what you are facing, rest in the comfort that God is right beside you and HE will get you through. Letting go is sometimes the hardest thing, but once we do, God can then begin to do what he wants in our life. Today, give it all to Him and rest assured, that He has this 🙂

JULY DAILY DEVOTION – 7/22

We often wonder why we are allowed to go through “tough” times in life, but I truly believe that is when God can use us the most. When we are left with ONLY Him, we can see his BIG picture and know that His plans are good. How many times have you (and I) come out of a “dark time” and realized it was really a God moment. That God used us in a way that if we were not completely dependent on Him, the results would not be the same.

Today, no matter what you are going through, ask God what he wants you to learn. What he wants you to become and then thank Him for the storm. Because when we come out of that storm, we are usually stronger and closer to God than ever before.

GOD IS GOOD. . . ALL THE TIME!!

JULY DAILY DEVOTION – 7/21

God’s plans are so much better and BIGGER than our plans. That is why it is so important to dream God-sized dreams. Dreams that seem impossible in human eyes, but with God eyes, all things are possible. No matter what you are facing, know it is going to be better than okay.

GOD IS GOOD. . . ALL THE TIME!!

JULY DAILY DEVOTION – 7/20

1 Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” No matter what you are facing, hand it over to God.  Rather than telling God how BIG your problem is, tell your problem, how BIG our God is.

GOD IS GOOD. . . ALL THE TIME!!

Recipe for crockpot Lasagna!!

by

Crockpot Lasagna

Crockpot Lasagna

If you are like our family, your days are packed with all kinds of activities and sporting events. Because of that, I have been dabbling with some crockpot recipes. I love to cook so it has been fun to try several different ones. So far, my favorite is this crockpot lasagna. It is super easy to make and only takes approximately 4-5 hours to cook.  It is absolutely delicious.

Here is the recipe:

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
  • 1 pound hamburger
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons and 2 tsp minced onions
  • 1 tsp minced Garlic
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) Diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 ounce) tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried basil leaves
  • 1 tsp dried oregano leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 ounces)
  • 1 container (15 ounces) part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 10 uncooked lasagna noodles

Step 1 Cook sausage and hamburger over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage and hamburger are no longer pink; drain.

Step 2 In a separate pan add olive oil, minced onions, minced garlic, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, dried basil leaves, dried oregano leave, and salt. Cook over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes. Now add sausage and hamburger mixture to same pan.

Step 3 Mix 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese and the ricotta and Parmesan cheeses. (Remainder of mozzarella cheese will go on top after lasagna cooks, so put back in refrigerator)

Step 4 Spoon one-fourth of the sausage mixture into 6-quart slow cooker; top with 4-5 noodles (break into pieces to fit in crock pot) Spread with half of the cheese mixture and then 1/4 of the sausage mixture. Top with 4-5 noodles, remaining cheese mixture and 1/4 of the sausage mixture. Top with remaining noodles and remaining sausage mixture.

Step 5 Cover and cook on Low heat setting 4 to 6 hours or until noodles are tender. (It took mine approximately 4 hours)

Step 6 Sprinkle top of lasagna with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Cover and let stand about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cut into pieces. Let me know what your thoughts are on this recipe?
