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
Lovin' Youth!
I LOVE…..teaching youth! Throughout my adult life I’ve either taught kids in public school, children’s choir, or Sunday school. Kids, kids, and more kids, of all ages. Bring’em on! At this time I have the privilege of co-teaching a 9th grade girls’ Sunday school...
Love…laughter with friends.
February is often called the “month of Love”. So I’ve decided, like many people post something they are thankful for in the month of November, I’m going to put a quick little diddy up about something that I love each day for the month of February. (I’ll try to...
Scattered Reminders
I love the fact that when I walk into any room in my home I can get a quick “uplift”. No, I‘m not talking surgery, but The Good Doctor is making all well within me. There have been some difficult times for some friends of mine lately. I have been praying...
Jokes on me (read to the end).
The other day I walked into the bathroom where my daughter was getting ready for school. I noticed she grabbed the delightfully decorated bottle of “Beautiful Day” and was about to spray it on herself. That’s when I questioned her with a smile, “Why are you spraying...
Heaven vs. Hell
Have you heard the saying, “I feel like I’ve been to Hell and back?” It’s an expression some use when they try to convey a difficult situation they’ve experienced. But the truth is… you truly can’t go to Hell and then back again. This past Sunday I was asked to be...
A V.I.P. today and always:
I would be amiss if I didn’t journal about the most important lady in my life. She was born on January 24th, 1941. I remember her telling me stories about when they got their first television, how her daddy wouldn’t allow her and her sisters to dance, how she was the...
It's about "Dog-gone" Time.
Have I lost my mind??? My husband sure thinks so. Ever since our dog Sadie passed away last summer, the kids have desired to have another dog. Oh my! You know what that usually means….MOM will be taking care of it! Sigh. Tim did some research and we were planning on...
I'm getting the point, God.
The week before Christmas we teachers read the book The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. It had been over fifteen years since I had read that book. It was as if I was reading it for the first time. I was excited to break out of the normal “math teacher” mode and into my...
Are you needing some motivation like me?
Well, well, well. I needed some motivation and to get my booty in gear, and God gave it to me. Thank You, Lord! Since I’ve decided to not read through the bible as I have done for the past three years, and just read it through in chronological order, my journaling...
Our Third Reward
There’s glory in the end: I will never forget the day when our eldest son, Hunter, was about four years of age. He had gone with me to the doctor’s office to hear the heartbeat of his future sibling. This baby would be my third child. We were excited to hear the...
Keep Calm and Study On
This week is “Exam Review Week” at school. Each day we are reviewing concepts that the students have learned since the beginning of the year. For some, just remembering what they learned last week is a feat. So this week can often bring about stress (of having 6-7...
Do you need an "Alignment"?
Ok…stay with me on this…This morning during the Sunday school hour, I saw the delicious breakfast (Sausage gravy and biscuits! Need I say more?) and had to go into the restroom to, as I call it, “take out my teeth”. Another youth leader was in there as well “taking...
