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
What will others say about you?
What appropriate timing! I’m not surprised. God always does this to me. When I read Proverbs 22:1 today I knew that God had given me the perfect scenario for this verse. “A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.”...
You won't forget this one:
“…whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31b Amen! I reiterate this verse to my family and self all the time. Let’s hear it again, “…whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God!” We don’t need to do things to impress man and self. ...
I just wanted you to know…
I just wanted you to know that….I wrestled with myself yesterday because I didn’t type a journal entry. I did read three sets of scripture that truly spoke to me. I mean they “hit home”. But the illustrations that God had laid on my heart were too transparent and...
Get your daily dose…
I don’t know about you, but I LOVE FOOD! Tim often shakes his head at me because I have to have my breakfast. He recently told the breakfast story to our kids of when we were on our honeymoon, nearly 22 years ago. We were staying at the luxurious Breakers Hotel in...
Soul/Soul/Sole Food
I’m from the south, so I’ve had my share of “soul food” and have enjoyed it immensely. I am a Christian, so I enjoy my “soul food” from God every day. And it is definitely needed. I am human, so I’ve had my fill of “sole food” as well. Ugh! Open mouth and insert...
Pursue what is right.
A boy pursues a girl. You follow a dream. One strives for a higher position in their job. An athlete works at being stronger, faster, and better at their game. This list could go on and on. But there is something even more important that one should pursue. The reward...
Keep your spouse happy!
Oh my! My husband will enjoy this post. When I was engaged to my man, my mother-in-law gave me some advice. She, with conviction, simply said, “Keep your man happy.” She gave that advice not only because I was marrying her son, or because we live in a temptatious...
Ahhh, the sea.
I am so grateful that God created the sea and all things in it. My family spends a great time on and in the water. Fishing, diving, snorkeling, surfing, you name it, we enjoy it. When I read Psalm 104:24-25, I just had to take a deep breath and smile just thinking...
Speak volumes, without speaking.
We’ve heard of the phrases, “Actions speak louder than words.” Or “Walk the walk, don’t just talk the talk.” Well, this seemed to be the theme that God reminded me of when I read all four books of scripture this morning. Check it out: When I read Psalms I was...
Take care of yourself
When I see structures around town that have been vandalized, it saddens me. Just last week someone spray painted all over our high school. The words and symbols they painted were disheartening. Luckily they have been found out and arrested. Remember in John 2:13-25...
I've got Spirit. How 'bout you?
Remember this cheer…”We’ve got spirit, yes we do. We’ve got spirit, how ‘bout you?” This cheer kept ringing through my mind as I read 1 Corinthians 2:10-16 . If you are a true born again Christian, you have the spirit of God within you. This spirit knows your...
My Disclaimer
There have been several times when I’ve gone back to an old journal entry to read it and have had to shake my head at the grammatical errors I’ve written. I’ve often wanted to type a journal entry as a disclaimer to remind anyone who reads my writings…”Warning….I am...
