DIY Lip Gloss

                                                                                                                 






Luke 18:13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!'

Old tube of lipstick
Old powder eye shadow
Vaseline

This is incredible! I used a horrible lipstick I could not wear because it was an awful color. I mixed 3 different eye shadows with it until I got the desired color. It is creamy and so pretty! I used old lip gloss containers to hold the new gloss. Start with the amount of Vaseline that will fill your container. Then start mixing the eye shadows in, then add some lipstick until you get your desired color. If you just scratch the eye shadow powder, it will be fine enough to mix. I used a plastic knife and a paper plate.

Stuffed Pork Tenderloin Pizza

                                                                                                                 






Romans 9:22-23 
22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction
23 in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory-- 

Left over stuffed spinach and fig preserve pork tenderloin(under pork tag this blog)
Fresh mozzarella
Sliced leeks(really thin)
Fresh basil
Fresh pizza dough
Traditional Classico pizza sauce
Drizzle of olive oil(over finished pizza before baking)
Dusting of cornmeal on greased pan

Publix has fresh pizza dough in their bakery department, fresh mozzarella in the cheese department and fresh basil in the produce department. This pizza is gourmet at home!

Let pizza dough set out for an hour. I made individual pizzas for me and my husband. I made one at a time because we were eating at different times. This bag of dough made 5-6 individual pizzas. Work with dough until you get it thin, it will puff when baked. Dust pan with cornmeal and press dough down and shape. Place sauce on dough, then leeks, next chopped basil, the thinly sliced pork and finally that yummy mozzarella followed by a drizzle of olive oil. I baked mine in a preheated confection toaster oven, 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Yummy!!!

Roman 4:3-6

3 For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness." 
4 Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. 
5 And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, 
6 just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
