For the cooking, bring beans to a rapid boil then lower heat to medium high and stir your beans every now and then. Do NOT add salt while boiling your beans! Hardens them. Wait until you're done.

God gave me exactly what I needed when I clicked on. I felt like I was reading the cries from my own heart and mind and was deeply encouraged and refreshed by the things you shared. I too have been struggling with deep feelings of insecurity, doubt, and just plain old not feeling "good enough". Thank you for your transparency and for your encouragement in hoping in the Lord.

Follow instructions through washing the beans, then cover with water and let stand overnight. Pour that water off, place soaked beans in crock pot, cover with clear water, add seasonings, meat--sausage or ham if desired--and cook as above.
