Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow

Many of you have been praying for us for the past several months.  We want to thank you and let you know how God is working.  He is forever faithful. 

Much of the time over the past few months we have not really been able to see how God was providing.  He has done it though.  We have been able to pay the bills without having to acquire too much debt.  But I honestly can not tell you how it was done.  This week however God has decided to let us see how he is working and we want to praise Him publicly.

Jay is working today!  And he worked yesterday!  Okay, so normally that is not news but since he has basically not worked in a month, this is news!  The jobs he had lined up that had been postponed are finally starting to come through.  Thanks to the job he is doing paying some in advance and dear friends of ours who had scheduled work in spring that asked to pay us in advance, we ended up getting just the amount we needed for our house payment that was coming out of our bank account today wether we liked it or not!  In addition to this our renter has finally contacted us and come up with a full months rent.

Praise God for being forever faithful!!

Crockpot Cream of Mushroom Soup

Posted by Anonymous

Kind of a random comment for your blog (but good I think). I saw you had left a comment on the Crockpot ladies blog about how to use the Cream of Mushroom soup, and she had not replied on there to you, so I clicked your name figuring you probably stopped looking for answers on there a while ago. I substitute her recipe for the liquid and cream of mushroom in a recipe. I had split it into 2 cup portions before freezing so it has generally been about right. I also throw in a can of mushrooms when I go to use it since my stick blender obliterated the mushrooms in the soup. I am about to make my second batch tomorrow.

P.S. We are a homeschooling family too. How cool is that?!?

SHANNON'S REPLY: Thanks so much for the info! I had kind of stopped looking for an answer. I used it last week in a chicken casserole without adding any liquid and it worked well (although my stick blender obliterated the mushrooms as well. However the liquid sunk to the bottom and the mushroom 'pulp' stayed on top of the chicken and rice. My daughter said it looked like dirt!) Thanks for letting me know how you use it. And it is cool that you are a homeschooling family too!
