About Me

Thanks for checking out my blog!  I am a wife and mother of two wonderfully energetic kids.  I am the proud owner of a Brittany Spaniel named Rusty.  I graduated from Dallas Theological Seminary with a Masters of Theology degree, but to be honest, I feel that my education taught me just enough to humble me in how much I don’t know about God.

After about 15 years in “professional” ministry, I am currently enjoying volunteering in the Church.  I am a freelance author and have published work with Today’s Christian Woman, Gifted for Leadership, Thriving Family, ParentLife, and several other outlets. 
I love playing the violin and I hate cooking.  If you have any other questions about me, feel free to ask!

I love to help women develop conference materials as well as speak at events.  If you would like to inquire about availability, please email me at cortney.whiting@live.com

    It's great to read someone American I seem to wholeheartedly agree with. Who is a white American. Does your discernment go to understanding Donald Trump as mine does..
    My guiding scripture which I lived with since 2005, but didn't discover till 2019 is 1 Thess 5:16-18. It is God's discipline calling for wise outcomes which bring peace.
    I tell you this because I have had constant contact with American politicians. Since 2007. Almost daily. And been an influenceI was chosen by God before I turned 18. But not directly under His motivation until now at 85 yrs old. In Charleville outback Queensland. Where my landladys mother died and was sent back. Two people here have noted where the world should go. The Australian outback is referred to as God's country. God put me here. I'll make my statement and leave it with you. God has to be in everything.
    The two women said, it's womens time now.
    If Hillary were President the coronervirus would be lifted. I agree A book I sent Hillary enabled her to get Bill right. Hillary is still world leadership qualified. While Donald Trump holds power he could put her there.
    Being Satan's agent, he is the cause of the total corruption throughout the earth.
    If we say what God wants us to say, God has to fulfill It. His will has to prevail. The word of a true prophet is established fact given time.

Remember When...

Image
Over the last several days, I have enjoyed nothing more than enjoying watching my children simply be children.  As they grow older, I know these days of childhood are fleeting.  They still enjoy playing in the hose, exploring outdoors, and using their imagination. The live life unhindered by the worries of the day. Not long ago, my parents found an old box of childhood memories.  In there, were drawings, doodles, and even writings I had crafted in my youth.  As I sifted through the pages, part of me longed for the simplicity of days past.  I used to hike down to a brook in the woods and sit for hours, watching the tadpoles swim and listening to the birds sing. I rode my bike in the neighborhood until suppertime, without a care in the world. Jesus calls us to live freely and to live without anxiety as many of us did when we were children. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." In a time when many of us h

My Bible Study with Mormons

Image
Three weeks ago, two Mormon girls knocked on my door and asked if I would like to watch a video about Easter.  I agreed.  After the video, I invited them inside to warm themselves from the cold.  We sat down and talked about life and faith.  At the end of the conversation, I asked if I could pray for them.  Before they left, they asked if they could come back next week and read Scripture with me.  I had told them that I had studied the New Testament in seminary. Last week, we read John 1 together.  We discussed how Jesus came to earth for the world in order to justify us for our sins.  I talked about the notions of truth, grace and freedom.  It was a wonderful time of fellowship.  The girls asked if they could come back the following week and discuss John 2.  I asked them if it would be ok if I made them lunch and they agreed. Today we met for the third week.  This time, we had all studied John 2 beforehand.  We discussed Jesus' wedding at Cana and then the cleansing of th

The Impact of Love

Today, as I glanced through the hashtags of Twitter, I noticed the anger within the posts. Hearts are crying out for change and revolution. Many Christians implore action based on Christ's response to the moneychangers in the Court of the Gentiles at the temple. I read their pleas and heard their pain. I watched the marches on television yet wondered, "how does solidarity promote change?" As I reflected, read, and prayed, I remembered what most motivates change. Looking back on the passage of Jesus at the temple, I am reminded of several things. First Jesus was angry. The vendors had made the Court of the Gentiles an unfair market place. This outer courtyard was the only place where non-Jews could go to worship and commune with the One True God. Yet, Jewish merchants profited by turning it to a place where they converted secular coins into the Jewish currency necessary to pay the Temple tax, making them no better than tax collectors. Also required was
