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.

Daily Walking with God
Christmas cards..Praying cards
Let’s end this year, begin the New Year, and continue throughout the year on the right foot. Well, maybe not just a foot, but possibly on your knees, face down, or eyes wide open looking up. Prayer! Here’s what Tim and I are going to do, and I hope you’ll follow...
He's the man!
Ladies, I have the man of your dreams here. Check out His checklist: Comforter. Trusting. Hospitable. A man of His word. Planner. Sees things to the end. Chauffer. Desires to be near you. Gentlemen, you can apply these to a lady as well, and we can all apply this...
I've been pondering
Where have I been? I’ve been “pondering”. I’ve been lost in thought on events that have occurred, changes that have been made in holiday traditions this year, and the exciting plans that may happen this coming year. I’m not alone when it comes to pondering. In Luke...
Here's the plan
My heart has been heavy for a young lady this week. Her walk with God is far from God. When I read a verse from Isaiah 30, I just had to read more. So when I read the chapter in its entirety, it was not just that girl that was on my mind, but many. Take a look at a...
"Be" with an attitude.
Don't just "be", but "be with an attitude"! Some synonyms for the word “be” are: exist, live, be alive, subsist, survive, be there, be present and be real. Some synonyms for the word “attitude” are: outlook, manner, approach, stance, position, feelings, and thoughts....
"I may not know what my future holds, but I know Who holds my future."
Following God’s plan can be scary. Why? We possibly become afraid because we are not in control, or maybe it is because of the whole “unknown” thing. Well, friend, you are not alone when you feel this way. Think about Mary about 2014 years ago. An angel appeared to...
You are beautiful!
Just about every morning when I go to wake Holly up I say, “Good morning, Beautiful, it’s time to get up.” Sleeping Beauty may not appreciate me waking her up to go to school, but I sure hope that she will appreciate those words of truth and sweetness as she rises and...
Hello? God?
“The Lord your God will send to you a prophet... You must listen to him.” Deuteronomy 18:15 Do you sometimes wonder if God is listening to you, or if He is answering (one way or the other) a request made by you? I know that I have. I know God hears me. I just...
Going the wrong way?
When there are warning signs posted somewhere, they are there for a good reason. I remember when I was in high school riding in my first limousine. After the event we were all hungry, so the limo driver took us through the Wendy’s drive thru. The driver, who wasn’t...
Shepherding
When I read the verse for the day today, it brought to my mind a wonderful adventure that Tim and I (along with some fabulous friends) had this year. I want to share a brief video with you I was able to capture, that I know many folks will not have the opportunity to...
A special day today.
“This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be happy today!” Psalm 118:24 Today is Friday. That’s a reason to celebrate. Today is our small town’s annual Christmas parade. That’s a time for celebration. But, today is special day for another reason…my...
You're invited to "follow" too.
When it comes to all this social media terminology, my kids just end up laughing and say, “Nevermind, mom. You just don’t understand.” And…they’re right! Who are you “following”, “ follow”, “tweet/twit”, “friend”, “block”, “favorite”, “retweet”, “my story”,...
