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
How do you see things?
Perspective. That word seems to be reoccurring in my thoughts and speech for the past week. I’ve come to the conclusion (before I even journal any of my thoughts) that God is reminding me to put my “God Goggles” on and try to see things the way He does. Follow me as...
He knows me better than I know myself.
The thought of someone knowing my every move, thoughts, and words should creep me out. But for some reason, I find comfort in The One knowing. I just wish sometimes He would have stopped me before I went somewhere or said something I shouldn’t have said. Ha! He...
Live a Life of Love
And loving means living the way he commanded us to live. And God’s command is this: that you live a life of love. You heard this command from the beginning. 2 John 6 What a special day. This afternoon many of our youth did...
Just Think
Has someone ever said something to you and when they did you tilted your head like a puppy, furrowed your brow, and thought to yourself, “They clearly were NOT thinking when they just opened their mouth.”? Or maybe you felt like punching them right in the face. This...
"Not just for the month"
Social media does have its benefits and faults. I loved reading friends’ posts last month when they participated in the daily “Day __: I am thankful for…” postings. I could have sat there for a good part of the day, each day, and pushed the “like” button for every...
Get REAL!
Last night when I sat down to journal, I had full intention on writing about how my God is REAL! But then, God took me in another direction. This morning I woke up with a Christian group’s song running through my head, (Newsboys’ song, “God’s Not Dead” ). I guess...
Hurry Up and Wait!
You’ve probably heard the expression, “Women are like crockpots, and men are like microwaves.” In our fast-paced lives that we live, many of us probably find ourselves being in the microwavable mentality. But when we often really want something to happen, it seems to...
A few of my "Thankful Things"
I am grateful for so many reasons. God has blessed me with family (extended and all) who not only love me but have their priorities right and love God above all. We are instructed in Matthew 6:33to “seek first the kingdom of God”, and praise God my family...
What makes you beautiful?
What does God see when He looks at you? Is it the quantity of time and money you’ve poured into yourself by acquiring any of the following: make-up, facials, hair coloring and styling, manicures, pedicures, cosmetic surgery, tanning, etc.? I admit, I have done (and...
Nip pride in the bud.
Does pride sometimes get in your way or get you away from God? In three out of the four scripture readings today (Ezekiel 28:1-30:8, Psalm 131:1-132:5, and Proverbs 28:15-18) it appeared that pride was a focal point.. In an inset in my bible it made an interesting...
I did fall into His arms! Precious.
God’s gone and done it again. He knows just what to put on our minds and in our hearts at just the right time. After yesterday’s post (Falling into His Arms ), God provided a precious conversation with my father-in-law, Wayne, and lots of quiet time with God while in...
Falling into His Arms
Here I sit in a vehicle on a twelve hour trip. We are heading back to the place where many memories are made, three first deer were shot for three of us in our family, chances of snow await us, and the place where we laid my dear mom-in-law to rest just shy of six...
