An Awesome Giveaway and a Psalm for Today....

I have run across a couple of awesome giveaways the past couple of days.
I let the one I found yesterday get away from me so I wanted to share this one with you right now!!

First, over at Pawley's Island Posh, Julia is giving away a two hour photo session and a cd of pictures!!!

I would LOVE to win a photo session in Charleston with her! You should go check it out.  I promise that once you see the beautiful pictures she takes you will want to win, too!!!

Also,most days when I go and sit in the car line at the girls school, I read my bible...

And as we all know, God's word never returns void.

It always has something to say to me.

Today was no different.

Psalm 50

¹ The LORD, the Mighty One, is God, 

      and he has spoken; 

   he has summoned all humanity 

      from where the sun rises to where it sets. 

 ² From Mount Zion, the perfection of beauty, 

      God shines in glorious radiance. 

 ³ Our God approaches, 

      and he is not silent. 

   Fire devours everything in his way, 

      and a great storm rages around him. 

 ⁴ He calls on the heavens above and earth below 

      to witness the judgment of his people. 

 ⁵ “Bring my faithful people to me— 

      those who made a covenant with me by giving sacrifices.” 

 ⁶ Then let the heavens proclaim his justice, 

      for God himself will be the judge. 

                         Interlude

 ⁷ “O my people, listen as I speak. 

      Here are my charges against you, O Israel: 

      I am God, your God! 

 ⁸ I have no complaint about your sacrifices 

      or the burnt offerings you constantly offer. 

 ⁹ But I do not need the bulls from your barns 

      or the goats from your pens. 

 ¹⁰ For all the animals of the forest are mine, 

      and I own the cattle on a thousand hills. 

 ¹¹ I know every bird on the mountains, 

      and all the animals of the field are mine. 

 ¹² If I were hungry, I would not tell you, 

      for all the world is mine and everything in it. 

 ¹³ Do I eat the meat of bulls? 

      Do I drink the blood of goats? 

 ¹⁴ Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God, 

      and keep the vows you made to the Most High. 

 ¹⁵ Then call on me when you are in trouble, 

      and I will rescue you, 

      and you will give me glory.”

 ¹⁶ But God says to the wicked: 

   “Why bother reciting my decrees 

      and pretending to obey my covenant? 

 ¹⁷ For you refuse my discipline 

      and treat my words like trash. 

 ¹⁸ When you see thieves, you approve of them, 

      and you spend your time with adulterers. 

 ¹⁹ Your mouth is filled with wickedness, 

      and your tongue is full of lies. 

 ²⁰ You sit around and slander your brother— 

      your own mother’s son. 

 ²¹ While you did all this, I remained silent, 

      and you thought I didn’t care. 

   But now I will rebuke you, 

      listing all my charges against you. 

 ²² Repent, all of you who forget me, 

      or I will tear you apart, 

      and no one will help you. 

 ²³ But giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors me. 

      If you keep to my path, 

      I will reveal to you the salvation of God.”

Hope it speaks to you, too!
