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
Get fruity!
I’m taking the biblical saying, “Be fruitful and multiply” to a different concept today. I’m not asking you to grow our population, but to grow your character. (Hmmm, I just had a thought…maybe when we grow our character it will permeate into others lives and then,...
It's about a relationship.
The more time you spend with someone the deeper your relationship grows. I see in the “world of pre-teens and teens” the cattiness that comes with it. (Especially with girls. Ugh!) Many times in my own daughter’s life, she would tell me about someone that “someone...
Keep your eye on the Immoveable
We live in a world where things are always changing; Minds, relationships, beliefs, styles, hair-color. You name it, things just seem to adjust to the times or moods of our society. When you want some stability in life or one thing to focus on, there is only one...
Tight and Right
I had to smile at myself this morning when I heard a comment, yet it made me completely aware of what God is doing all the time. While working out the instructor, who is on a DVD by the way, said, “Okay, I’m coming to you. I’m watching you.” I found myself trying to...
Tired?
Jeremiah 21:35, “I will give rest and strength to those who are weak and tired.” This week seems to be a tiring week. But no matter how tired my body and mind may be feeling, my thoughts turn to two ladies who I can’t hold a candle to in the tired department. This...
Making Progress!
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever! Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18 In school we are less than a couple of weeks away from taking the math portion of the FCAT (Florida’s Comprehensive Assessment Test)....
Balancing Life
Balancing life. I can vividly recall a time in my life when I felt that I had to juggle various activities in my life/wear many hats to either feel a specific way or to reach a certain status. When my children came along and increased with age, balancing life had a...
I'm just a tool.
No foolin’…we’re NOT God. Lately I’ve been praying about a situation, an endeavor, and I felt that God was leading me in a specific direction. After doing a little research, I had a conflict with a lifestyle that someone had. God is against this lifestyle, so I...
Focusing on The Core
Why am I always surprised by His provision? I shouldn’t be. He is amazing. He is God! But yet, I just sometimes shake my head and smile at what He does for me day in and day out. When the alarm went off this morning, I did my normal lay my hand on Tim and do my...
Totally
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” Deuteronomy 6:5 This verse is one of my all time favorites. I pray it and remind myself daily to do so. Praying this verse for my children has been a daily occurrence as...
I've been waiting for this day!
Oh my! That felt so good! I know why God sort of put blinders on my eyes last week when I totally missed out on the stretch last Saturday. It was so I could see how rewarding and awesome I can feel when I do stretch myself. I now know that this is one routine I...
Why go it alone?
It went something like this, “The wider you spread your toes the better support base you’ll have.” I heard Shaun T (the exercise instructor) mention this statement a couple of times today while working on my lower body. It made me think about how when we get...
