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
A big request.
How can you say “No”? Man, as I think about Christmas coming and the wish list children have, they may need to take a lesson on “guilting someone into doing something” from Paul. Momma, Daddy, I’ve been good all year (or month or week or day), can I pleeeeaaassee have...
Breakfast with God
Okay, so this morning I excitedly sit down to have breakfast with God. My plate of French toast, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and syrup drizzled over them was prepared. (Yes, in the picture that is FOUR slices all for me.) My cup of milk, not coffee, was ready for...
Three Little Words
“Good morning. I love you.” As I sat here reading the scriptures this morning three little words that I read just stuck in my head, “I am Yours”. “I am yours…” Psalm 119:94a I continued reading the selected verses in Jeremiah, Proverbs, and 2 Timothy. I was asking God...
Are we so different?
Are we so different? Follow this brief synopsis: God, through signs, wonders, and messages from prophets, gave instructions to His people, Judah, Israel, and other nations, as to how to live. God promised great things if they would just be obedient to Him. They didn’t...
I have a crazy fear.
Over the past few years I have developed a fear. My husband says it is all in my head. But I tell him that the anxiety that rushes over me is totally real and not in my head. I wish I didn’t have to take deep calming breaths, feel nervous and almost dizzy, and want...
I love my "others".
Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers,2 older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity. 1 Timothy 5:1-2 When I read these verses I immediately thought about the three...
Teach me!
I love teaching! There are some factors that definitely try to take the joy out of teaching, but all in all…I love it. When I see students have those “aha moments” and help another student understand a concept and encourage them to “get it”, it puts a smile in my...
Act & Dress Appropriately
Girls, who do you say you are devoted to, the world or God? If you are a Christian, I sure hope that your reply would be “to God”. Well, if you answered correctly 😉 don’t only act appropriately, but dress appropriately. I could go on and on with examples of how not...
A generous and gracious God
This morning God presented another example of “patience” in His word. When I hear testimonies of those who have done some “serious sinning” (according to man) and how God got a hold of their lives and transformed them, I am always inspired. My testimony always seemed...
Are you in need of some patience?
I’m not sure if I am in need of patience today or what. Maybe God is preparing me for something today where I will need to demonstrate patience through my words and actions. But these verses spoke to me and I was able to connect them together. I hope you find...
In His Hands
Creating things with your hands can be so rewarding. Remember those days you played with Play-Doh? The squishiness between your fingers and the creations you created were often satisfying. And when you didn’t like what you created, you just simply pounded it or...
Stay fit.
You may not have missed my journaling, but I sure missed it and y'all. Wi-fi connection wasn't working, but I can't complain about spending time soaking up The Son in the sun on Anna Maria Island. Enjoy today's thoughts: I remember back after my third and...
