Grief Waits For You My Dear Sweet Friends
In light of the recent tragedy in Newnan of the death of a young bright talented 17-year-old Heritage student then the devastating Oklahoma tornadoes my heart has been full of much pain and grief for those I know and those I have never even met before. To deal with my heartache and pain I write. That is what I do. These past few days I could not help remember my own pain, loss and grief these past years when my parents died. I wrote this following blog and it has comforts me over and over again. I am never sure who I write for....

Have you ever thought to yourself~ Lord, How does THIS fit into my life’s purpose? On This Thankful Thursday and many other days I have wondered to myself this very question. On this Thankful Thursday you might be wondering about THIS too! THIS being a demotion at work, a tragedy you never could have prepared for, a broken relationship with no mending in sight, a disease, or even a little bundle of joy, like a new baby when you feel over the hill. Sometimes in life things fall neatly into place and other times things simply do...

Mother’s Day has not been easy for me the last couple of years since mom passed away in 2009 … The very first Mother’s Day without my Mom we were living in Oklahoma. The thought of going to church on Mother’s Day was just a bit too much for me to wrap my head around. The focus on a mother’s love and roses being given out or something special just made me want to cry at the thought of it. So I came up with a plan that seemed like a win win for all of us. We piled in the suburban and headed to Joplin,...

Finding the perfect card is not always easy. With Mother’s Day fast approaching, I went to purchase Mother’s Day cards. One for Winters’ mom and one for my dear friend, Carol, who is like a mother. I also gathered a few extras for some amazing women in my life who have never had any trouble telling me how much they love me. They are the kind who’ve been there through thick and thin. Those cards have now been sent out too. I read many cards, trying to find the right ones. I finally turned to the lady next to me and...

On this Thankful Thursday, I wanted to take a moment to celebrate that today is the National Day of Prayer in our country. I am thrilled we still set aside this day here in the USA to acknowledge the power of prayer and the need for it in our country! Years ago I was blessed to attend the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. It was a special moment in my life and I will never forget it. I am also especially thankful to have been raised in a home where prayer was so important. I was raised by the first Power Prayer Girl I...

Yesterday I had the opportunity to do the devotional at Peachtree City JobSeekers. For weeks I knew what I was going to share, as most often I feel God’s leading toward a certain message when I am to speak or write. So I was already to share my message, We are all broken Pots, a post I wrote and it is also in the Power Prayer Girls Handbook I am writing. I love the story and in the nutshell it is about this fabulous french vase that I bought and it was broken in the garage before we ever had the joy of enjoying it in the house. The...

Just so excited today on this Thankful Thursday to see all that God is doing in our lives. I spent much of the last several weeks sick and much time was spent in bed so I did what I love to do, I prayed and prayed and prayed some more. I worked on my Life Coaching business, my new Facebook page Corby Winters Pure EmPowerment for Women and Teens, my LinkedIn page, my book the Power Prayer Girls and the Miss Oklahoma devotional. It is amazing how much you get done when you have to stay in bed. But as I prayed the last several weeks much...
read moreThankful Thursdays ~ Renewed, Restored and Softened Up Once Again
I have posted this blog before but the intro I wrote is exactly where I have been for the last several days and feel it so appropriate for me and many others. I pray God speaks to you and renews you my dear friends! I spent most of yesterday and all of today trying to decide what to share on this Thankful Thursday. I started several different posts, but they just weren’t quite right. So I kept praying. I would sing a bit, then pray a bit more, then I would talk to God out loud and sing a bit more. It was a long afternoon and a long...
read moreMonday Muse ~ Dreams and Inspirations
A while back the SONs and I and some of their friends headed to the park. It is a great thing to do when life gets crazy. And the funniest thing happens on a play ground. In just a matter of seconds one can be transcended to another place in time and the child in us is beckoned to come out and play. It may brief but none the less we can for a moment recapture and feeling of an easier time. For me there is nothing more wonderful than to fly though the air on a swing. Well, at least I think it is pretty wonderful. As a child we had a huge...
read moreThankful Thursdays ~ Celebrating The Perfect and Imperfect Of Our Lives
On this Thankful Thursday, I can’t help but think about a post I wrote awhile back and how much it touched me. Here are just some of the highlights from it and I hope it speaks to you as much as it did to me. We all know, that sometimes we look at others’ lives and think they look so much different from our own. They seem so perfect and to have it all together. In reality, however, they are much the same as ours. Their life is full of love, sadness, stress, joy and happiness, debt, grief, friendship, pain, fear and so much...
