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.

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
Ahhhhhhh…
When I read Psalm 116:7 it was as if I had just received a fabulous massage. We tend to get busy with and anxious about life. Am I mistaken in saying “we”? I don’t believe I’m alone here. Blood pressures rise, hearts race, and bad habits often settle in when we...
Don't be flippant.
I have a feeling that my friend, Jeff, will appreciate this journal entry. He is the “head-honcho” of our school’s Outdoors Club/Recycling/The Green Team. In Psalms 115:16 it says, “The heavens belong to the Lord, but He has given the earth to all humanity.” God has...
Post-It on Your Heart
I don’t know about you, but I often need a reminder for various tasks. I sure wish I were the person who invented Post-it Notes. I have Post-it reminders on my computer, desk, books, drawers, corkboard, and wherever I will see a note at school. I have a message board...
The Battle Within You
The other day I was talking to someone about “Just because you are a Christian doesn’t imply that you will no longer sin. You will now have the conviction of the Holy Spirit living within you to help you recognize the choice you have to make when your sinful nature...
The Right Road
“Listen, my son, and be wise, and set your heart on the right path.” Proverbs 23:19 When I read this verse it reminded me of a story I had written for Hunter. When he became a Christian, and was baptized as a symbol of following Christ, we had a “Spiritual Birthday...
How to get right:
Presbyterian, Catholic, Baptist, Episcopalian, Methodist, Jew, Greek, etc. To me it doesn’t matter what denomination you grew up in or are a member of now, as long as you know to know that it is NOT because of laws and traditions that will get us to Heaven. As Paul...
My Heart is Rejoicing!
“My child, if your heart is wise, my own heart will rejoice! Everything in me will celebrate when you speak what is right.” Proverbs 23:15-16 My heart was leaping for joy the other day. It was one of those days when something glorious was brought to my attention...
A spanking a day keeps the meanness away?
How could I NOT share Proverbs 23:13-14 with my family. When I read it to the kids, Hunter, Holly, and Cole all gave me about the same expected reaction. Holly looked at me with a smile and stare. I told her to bend over, and she was like, “Why?” I informed her...
Listen up, Class.
“Listen to your teacher and learn all you can.” Proverbs 23:12 Okay, students, you’ve heard it. I tell me class often that if they will just listen to my words before a test, I practically give them the answers. Well, God’s word isn’t speaking to Mrs. Shuff’s...
Strength in weakness
Yesterday was a personal journal day for me. God had put a letter in my heart to write to my father-in-law the night before. When I read 2 Corinthians 12:8-10 the following morning it was as if God had sealed the envelope with His word. Three different times I...
Yes, I'm Boasting!
I have been about to bust all afternoon with wanting to share some exciting news! God’s timing is perfect! Here I finally sit, in the late afternoon, ready to read my scripture verses for today’s “Walk in the Word”. I wanted to share the good news earlier, but it...
A Cheerful Giver
Give cheerfully…God will bless you abundantly! I will always remember the Fall of 2011. I was slated to take over a middle school math class when the current teacher was going to retire the end of November. We had an arrangement worked out where I was going to come...
