Big Things Happening

Well, in the past few days there have been lots of exciting things going on.  For one, The Vine Community Church, has a home! We are located in the Thomson Door and Drawer Building.  We have all been hard at work getting it ready and we are very excited. And TIRED! lol God is moving and I mean moving FAST! We have a new sound board, speakers, drums, so many things I can't think to name because I am just so sleepy! Also, we are all creating art pieces to sell to raise money for our church funds. Here is a picture of one of  mine:

I will talk more about this project later,  but this is now for sale!

I am looking forward to the days to come, but I am very tired and worn out.  It is becoming difficult to remain positive through some of the trials I am facing but I know the Lord makes all things work together for my good! I receive whatever the Lord is trying to do in my life! I know it will be something great! Goodnight for now!

Update: Second finished painting

Brief descriptions/translations are on the back.  I would love to get $30 each.  It may sound like a lot and its not because I think my work is worth it but because God is worth it.  Remember all the money raised goes towards our church building and equipment funds. Any further donations or "bids", if you feel lead to make them, would be great too!  Thanks for your help and prayers!

Truffle Pops

You will need:

1 package of oreos (dbl stuffed if you prefer) and 1 package cream cheese
[You may also use 1 cake (already baked) and 1/3 container of frosting {your choice of flavors}]
Melting chocolates
Zip Lock Bags or a Food processor
Toothpicks/Popsicle sticks/or skewers
wax paper or a pan for cooling
sprinkles* optional

(If using cake, bake cake first and let cool. Let cake take place of oreos and 1/3 of frosting for the cream cheese)

1. Crush oreos in a zip lock bag or in the food processor. Kids may enjoy using the zip locks.

2. Add softened cream cheese and mix together to form a "dough"

3. Form dough in 1 inch (may be smaller or larger) drops. Freeze or refrigerate until firm. While dough is chilling begin to melt the chocolate/melting candy.

4. When firm, skewer with toothpicks/Popsicle sticks/or skewers

5. Once chocolate/melting candy is fully melted, dip treats in.

6. If desired pour sprinkles before melting candy sets

Tips:

If you desire 2 tone truffles, dip one color, let cool, then dip second color

You can also fill a zip lock with chocolate and cut a tiny hole in the corner and drizzle melting candy over the truffle.

Plate on decorative platter for serving!

Enjoy! ~Jessie
