About Stephanie Shuff
I am a blessed girl! God uses everyday situations in my life to teach me about Him and His love. God’s Word is alive and active! A verse that I may have read last year, last week, or even yesterday, may have a new meaning to me depending on the season of life I’m in. This isn’t just true for me, but for you too. I thank you for reading and sharing this blog. I pray that God will speak to you through it all.
Become a Christian
In your personal opinion, what do you understand it takes for a person to go to heaven? It is as simple as spelling the word faith out on each finger.
Daily Walking with God
Take a moment and praise Him
Perched on a high adirondack chair and reading a book, I can peer over the weather-worn wood railing. I hear a splash in the pond and find the ripples of water where a bass had just struck its prey. While my eyes were exploring the pond, I spotted a small alligator’s...
Exciting News!
I’m so excited! Who’s ready for book #2? I feel like an infomercial with “but wait…there’s more” This book will be unlike any children’s book you’ve used. It will be a colorful book filled with beach devotionals, inspired by true stories from our family vacations. Our...
You are valuable!
Question: When you have something that costs a lot, do you take better care of it than if you had something that wasn’t well made or cheap? When I ask others, and myself, this question the answer is always “Yes, absolutely.” Almost with a “Duh” attitude. Can I tell...
A very important message:
Why is that simple question often hard to say…”Are you a Christian?” or “ Do you know where you're going to go when your time is done?” We all are called to share the Good News with others…but how? We are all different and we all have unique gifts for sharing. What...
Mowing Music
Okay, when I mow our property I am on the mower for a good three hours. So…thoughts run rampant, devotionals come to mind, and worship music is blasting. Good stuff! Here’s some music for you to enjoy. There are a variety of styles here, but the message in each is...
A labor of love
Happy Labor Day. When I was a little girl, my family used to go to antique auctions. One of the purchases, when I was about three years old, was an old pine wood vanity. I remember it being painted, then I believe one of my brothers and I stripped it and either...
The Key to life
Recently, a friend needed to get into our home while we were away. So… https://youtu.be/NPAru_A9Uek Friend, the key to heaven is straight in front of you…JESUS! What's the key to life? Is it living adventurously? Is it filling your days with work, hobbies, family...
Where is your focus?
Questions, concerns, and “what ifs” raced through my mind. They weaved themselves into an entanglement of anxiety, selfishness, and blame. It was hard to tell if it was anxiety or deep compassion, selfishness or genuine concern, and blame or approval. Until God...
Pay attention to the warning sign
The warning light came on in my car. A notification appeared in the middle of the screen informing me that my back left tire air pressure was low. I looked at the tire and I couldn’t seem to find anything causing the warning. All I could think about was the scenario...
He is near
Recently, I was praying with gratitude for the capability to communicate with my man who was miles apart from me. I was instantly reminded how we may often think of our prayers being sent to heaven. Heaven seems so so far away, but take hold and treasure the fact that...
Bright Night 2023
I’m blown away again! Last year was the inaugural year for an event called Bright Night. Bright Night is the brainchild of a precious young lady who was homeschooled for her entire life, until it was time to enter high school. When Gracie entered the ninth grade, she...
Sometimes you’ve got to be knocked down before you can get back up
Are you at your wits end? Do you ever think, “What do I do with my life?”, “I feel so defeated!”, and “Is it going to get any better?” Can you relate to any of these analogies? Sometimes you’ve got to be knocked down before you can get back up. Sometimes you’ve got...
