Living In The Fast Lane~An Encore’ Post
Too fast? Fast cars, fast food and the fast lane? Or is it rather, to fast or not? I say make fasting a way of life! There is no doubt you will grow closer to God with fasting. If you have not heard from Him lately, fasting and praying can certainly heighten your sensitivity to hearing God speak to your life and circumstance. Fasting is a powerful spiritual discipline that sharpens and hones us as followers of Christ. I was so blessed to have a Godly mother, a prayer warrior who fasted regularly. She fasted, not to lose weight, but to seek...

To all my sweet sisters in Christ, my Thankful Thursday Gals and anyone who visits corbywinters.com: As all of you know I have had a full 5 years dealing with my parents and John’s adventure into the full time writing arena. On top of that, I have been trying to finish a book and build a speaking ministry – as well as care for the three SONS, not to mention one is in the throes of the teenage years and one soon to follow. Winters and I barely have time for a spin around the kitchen anymore. Add in the fact that mom and dad passed...
read moreThankful Thursday~ No, We just Can’t Skip Thanksgiving!
I have a confession to make. I have to be really, really honest on this Thankful Thursday Thanksgiving day. Here goes, there have been moments I have thought to myself, “Can’t we just skip Thanksgiving? Really, let’s just get on with Christmas! I love Christmas! I mean LOVE Christmas! I love the decorating, the gift giving, the gift getting, the wrapping of presents, decking the halls and just about every morsel of the holiday season. But most of all I love the celebration of Christ’s birth. That makes Christmas...

What if on this Thankful Thursday … You lose your keys … You lose your dog … You can’t find your purse and you’re late to a meeting … You get home with all the hamburgers and no fries … Or you’re at the checkout at some grocery store and realize you forgot the eggs in the deepest darkest part of the store. So you have to haul all the way back to get them. Worse yet, you fill your cart and get ready to check out and you realized you left your wallet at home. The inconveniences of life. The...
read moreThankful Thursdays ~ A Year Later
On this Thankful Thursday, I can’t help but think about what I was doing a year ago today. We do not often remember with such clarity that kind of thing unless it is a life-changing event and will have great significance in our lives. My November 10th, 2010 was to be a day spent with two dear friends celebrating my belated birthday in a quaint little town in Georgia. Although the day was to be filled with fun and laughter it was bitter-sweet. Moments before we were heading out the door, a call came from my brother breaking the news...

As we enter the Holiday season, I thought this might be a great post to remind us to be wise with our money. Yes, I know that always sounds funny coming from a girl who loves to shop. However, I am trying quite diligently to be a savvy women of God who spends wisely. On this Thankful Thursday I thought you might enjoy an encore of ” I Said Shoo, Not Shoe! Most of you know I love shoes and I always have. My mom said I arrived in them the day I was born. I am sure they were leopard stilettos! From the time I could walk, I...
read moreThank Thursdays ~ It Is Never Too Late
On this Thankful Thursday I am reminded that just last Wednesday was my birthday and it was wonderful. I had a spectacular day filled with cards, friends, food and wonderful fellowship. I was a blessed woman I thought to myself as the day came to a close. Sweet unexpected presents were a delightful treat as well! But the funny thing was next morning I found myself in a bit of a slump and it surprised me. I was quite taken back by a deep urge to reevaluate the years I have had on this earth. Questions like: Am I doing what God has...

read moreThankful Thursday~It’s A Good Day When A Son Asks For Prayer
Today on this Thankful Thursday as we headed to school, the middle Son of Thunder was a bit out of sort. This is unusual for him because he is usually calm, cool and collected. That is unless he see a scary movie. But today was different. It was different because he was running for a position as a 4-H officer for the fifth grade class. Trying out for anything can be a bit unnerving. And he was indeed nervous. As he worked on his speech and rehearsed it to us, he confessed he was a bit scared. Really, I think I could have told him...
read moreThankful Thursdays~Helping Others Fulfill Their Purpose
Life is full. It always is and many things pull and tug on our lives and cry out for our attention. I have always said Tiger Woods would not be the golfer he is today if his mother had 5 children. Let’s be honest, we can all only give so much. The joke around here is at the end of the day there is very little love left over, for even the cats. They are on their own. After caring for the three SONS, one husband ( who I must admit is very low maintenance) one dog who thinks she can fly (and who is very high maintenance) and two...
