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.

Mother’s Day gifts to remember…what matters most to me…
I just returned from my aunt's funeral. One of her daughters and one granddaughter got up to speak. Listening to them share memories and lessons learned from Aunt Jackie was beautiful. I would smile and nod my head in agreement with some of their remembrances. When I...
Tips/insight/thoughts when doing a bible study:
I am beginning a new in-depth bible study with three young ladies. These twenty-somethings are at different stages in their walk with God. This may be their first bible study or at least their first in-depth one that requires homework. We are studying When You Pray...
Quench your thirst!
I guess I’m not the only thirsty one. Normally I see the sandhill cranes and turkey pecking the ground for insects or corn near the deer feeder and throughout the yard. While sitting in my screened-in lean-to, preparing for a speaking engagement, I saw three cranes...
Time to withdraw
But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer. Luke 5:16 I’m just following Jesus' lead. A message came in my email inbox that reminded me that I’ve been quiet in journaling, and they were asking if I was okay. It humbled and honored me by proving to my inner...
Prayer and Impossibility (object lesson too)
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Philippians 4:6 Pray should be like breathing. Inhale and exhale God. Chatting with Jesus can, and in my opinion should, be done throughout the day....
A conflicting scene
Do you see what I see in the above photo? No, it’s not my friends thinking I was taking a picture of them when I was really taking a pic of the focus of today’s entry. No, it’s not the stone streets with years of stories it could tell (although that would be cool)....
Jesus meets you where you are, even in a bar in NOLA.
Jesus meets you where you are, even in a bar. (Excerpt from travel itinerary below:) We noticed that one of the other places on the True South list was about a 25-minute walk, towards home, from where we were. So, we headed towards and down Magazine Street. We three...
Oh my! Delight in God’s creation
Owls, turkey, deer, oh my! Sun beams through the trees, a woodpecker singing and pecking at the tree, and butterflies fluttering about, oh my! These are the delightful creations I get to see while taking my morning walks in my back woods. Oh my! How marvelous God’s...
Palm Sunday. Even the rocks cry out. (object lesson)
Happy Palm Sunday. I hope you will sit and share this video object lesson (or do it yourself) with the children in your life. May I encourage you to never be ashamed of the Lord. Praise Him at all times. No matter where you are, who you are with, what age or stage...
A time to pray
It had been a while since I actually sat in front of my prayer wall to see each name and concern written in chalk. Praying for those written on the wall are often on the forefront of my thoughts, but intentionally following up on their situation…that was lacking. The...
A time for silence
Silence. A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; A time to be silent and a time to speak. Ecclesiastes 3:7 It’s been a month since my last posting. I’ve been silent for many reasons. In life, we notice that there are times for reflection, times for...
FAITH, FAMILY, and FESTIVAL, Part 8: Rolly Rollyson
“A sincere man who truly loves people.” This is how Dub McGinnes describes my next guest on Faith, Family, and Festival. Ray “Rolly” Rollyson’s family line is like a white oak tree. Their roots run strong and deep, and his heritage is firmly anchored in Plant City....
