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
Grateful for His Breath
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 I am so grateful that God didn’t just place us on this...
Letting go
Raising an adult child is a complete walk in faith of God. Our eldest is an adult. What? I don’t feel that old! This stage is at times difficult and other times effortless. Right now I’m at the stage of knowing that we’ve raised our son on the foundations of God,...
Be filled with joy.
Why stop now? Let’s keep spreading more joy this week. Last night I was going through some home email. When I got to the bottom of one email, I read their tagline above their signature. It said, “The secret of joy in work is contained in one word – excellence. To...
Joy is contagious!
I had to laugh this morning, not once, but three times, at this underlying theme that God evidently has for me this week! Whether these subtle clues are directly for me or just for me to share with you, I appreciate His ingenious hints about JOY. Yep, joy. You know...
More JOY!
Here’s goes that word again. Yesterday, after writing about “Ain’t nobody gonna steal my joy!”, a precious friend replied, “I'm working on having Joy this week.......it's my prayer.” Well, sista, if you desire what I think you do, you’ll get it. You see, in Psalm...
Don't steal my joy.
The other day at school someone posted a paper in different areas of the school. On that paper it read to “Take one”. Take what? Well, at the bottom of the page it had words, in a tag format, for you to rip one off and take like, peace, love, joy,… I guess you could...
Here's some "Good Stuff" from God:
Romans 12:2 is a verse that I knew I’ve written about before, but when I did a “search” for it, I didn’t realize how many times I’d written about it. Well, I didn’t, God did. So, instead of creating a new devotional for Romans 12:2 (the verse-for-the-day), click on...
Want Him more than anything else!
We often read, hear, and state from memory Jeremiah 29:11. But what about those verses that follow it? It was pressed upon my heart today to read and soak in some more of God’s goodness in verses 12-13. I ended up reading the entire chapter to gain the whole...
Ahhhh
“Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him. Truly He is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken.” Psalm 62:1-2 When I read this I just felt His peace fall on me. A smile came across my face just being reminded that when I...
Watch The Man do His thing!
For some of you more seasoned citizens, allow me to teach you a couple of texting abbreviations you may or may not have seen. I’m thinking that God was the originator of SMH (shake my head) and LOL (laugh out loud). Don’t you just know that He just “Shakes His Head”...
Get White-Knuckled
Have you ever heard or wondered yourself, “Where did God go?” Well, I’ve search scripture and I just can’t find anywhere a time when God was the one who left. It was man who did the leaving. In Deuteronomy 13:4 we read, “Serve only the Lord your God and fear Him...
Are you hungry?
Good morning. Let’s eat. Those who know me know that I love breakfast time. And, those who know me also know that when I don’t eat two things usually happen; I either get grouchy or very quiet (probably so that I won’t be grouchy). So, making sure that “Stephanie”...
