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
"I Am" with you.
“I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2 When I read this verse-for-the-day on biblegateway.com, I couldn’t help but have Casting Crown’s song, I Will Praise You in...
My Holly. 🙂
I am smiling ear to ear right now. I just took a sneak-peek of Holly’s rough draft essay for her college English class, and I love seeing her write. (No, you’re not confused, she is a junior in high school, but she’s taking dual enrollment classes.) Holly and I...
Packed and Ready
Does anyone find it strange that my husband has a duffle bag packed at all times? Sounds crazy, I know, but between hunting and fishing seasons and vacations, his truly is packed and ready for travel. Actually, it is pretty efficient of Tim to be prepared and ready to...
Something Beautiful
Last night three-fifths of my family watched a movie. The movie was not a colorful/happy go-lucky/feel-good film. But at the end of it, I sat there and said, “That was a beautiful movie.” Tim and Holly agreed. It was about a former British Army officer, who was...
"Here's your sign"
Have you ever had one of those days when you thought to yourself, “Do I have a sign on my car telling others to slow me down?” And of course that is with a hint of sarcasm. That’s how my morning felt on my way to work. I went to get doughnuts for teachers…closed due...
There's so much to learn about truly living!
“Your love, God, fills the earth! Train me to live by your counsel.” Psalm 119:64 This weekend I started diving more into the bible to learn all about Barnabas. I get to teach about him in a few weeks, so I was reading with much intent and the desire to want to learn...
Guiding Our Children
As I see my children become independent and responsible citizens, I can’t help but wonder if Tim and I have done enough. Did we guide them in the way that Christ would have us to? I can’t turn back any time. There’s always more we coulda/shoulda done, but when I see...
A Sense of Belonging
Do you like being a part of something? Sure you do. I see our youth at school embracing and/or yearning to be a part of “something”. I see many young adults adventuring off to the world of college now and vying for and delighting in being part of a sorority or...
I cannot share.
I love learning something new! Last night I learned that I cannot share. Sad, but true. Well, I knew that I couldn’t share this one thing that I’ll get to in a moment, but the explanation of the parable was explained in a way that made me nod my head, crease my...
Are you at the end of your rope?
Do you ever feel like you are at your “wits-end”? Boy, I do. Hey, think about the stage I’m in…one child (yes, once my child, always my child) who is an adult, one smack in the middle of teen-hood, and one who will be in their teens next year. Each sibling has a...
Get motivated!
I am so grateful for God. Just sayin’. Yesterday morning was the third day of waking up for school. For me, it was rough. The alarm went off and I just wanted to stayed curled up in my comfy bed, with the blanket over my head, and keep sleeping. I wasn’t the only...
Feeling overwhelmed?
4:30 AM! That’s what I get for going to bed at 9 o’clock at night. Do you ever wake up without seeing the time and you think, “Ahh, I got a good night’s sleep”, only to glance at the glowing numbers that display to you, “It’s 4:30 in the morning!”? I know sometimes I...
