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
Walking by faith
Whoa!!! Am I putting on the brakes to be stopped by God’s amazing word, or am I accelerating to move on in His direction? Right now I’m thinking both. Tim and I have been talking, a LOT, about some possible changes in life. We’ve been praying about a couple of areas...
I love a good book.
Ten years ago I was waiting in the deli line at a local grocery store (Publix). They always had a carousel of inspirational books for all ages. While waiting on any of my orders, I’d take a gander through the books to keep me occupied. I came across “A Pocketful of...
Teacher Tiredness
Do you ever feel like you just can’t get ahead? Today was one of those days for me. A couple of weeks ago, one of my children sent me a text saying, “I want to be homeschooled.” Well, today I sent my husband a text saying, “I want to be home.” I LOVE being a...
A Simple Request
I know I’ve said it before, but here I go again…God is sooo cool! This morning I prayed for all of you. I prayed for His words to be spoken through me in a way that will touch someone’s life to grow closer in knowledge and more in love with Jesus Christ. And then, I...
I missed this.
Do you have seasons in your life when you feel like you are missing doing something that you love to do? It may be for a day, a week, a true season of the year. Some people actually may be missing out on that thing they love to do for years. Is it because of...
A God-Confidence
Confidence in God. That was my specific prayer for my daughter, Holly, this week. And boy oh boy, did God answer my prayer. You see, Holly was going to be competing in Calendar Girl, a pageant at her school that is a fundraiser for the PCHS Athletic Booster Club. She...
"Even when we are hemmed in with troubles…"
Believe it or not, I just don’t have anything to say. Well, of course I do, but when God woke me early this morning to pray for a long list, He also gave me these verses to share. I’m hope you or someone you know could use this today: “There’s more to come: We...
For the living
Holly has wanted me to watch the movie “The Fault in Our Stars” with her for about a month now. So, yesterday afternoon we finally sat down and watched and cried through it together. In the movie there was a quote that went something like this, “Funerals are not for...
Rain, rain, don't go away.
When I woke up this morning, I could hear the rainfall tapping on the leaves of the landscape, as if to awaken the earth for a new day. I thought to myself, “Another dreary day.” But after reading today’s verse-for-the-day, my outlook has change to hope, optimism, and...
God did it again
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” Philippians 2:3-4 God’s gone and done it again! For the past month I’ve...
Never alone
Sweet moment…my husband rocks! It was almost time for the sun to set. My family knows how I love to see God paint the sky. I asked if anyone wanted to walk down to the beach with me, but all were engrossed in their own scenes. (I’m quite confident their scene wasn’t...
It's Time for a Fill Up
It’s time to “Fill’er up”. No, not your car, (even though that’s probably a wise idea) but it’s time to fill yourself with something. Yesterday for lunch I ate some vegetable lasagna. When the lady put the helping of lasagna on my plate, I went, “Whoa! That’s too...
