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 Few Heroes
In 1 Chronicles 11 it speaks of heroes. These heroes all displayed great bravery. I have been surrounded by heroes today. Each one in his/her own right demonstrated courage in some way Their courage wasn’t like the heroes in the scriptures I read today by fighting...
Gotta Keep'em Segregated?
When we had the mission conference at our church the pastor from our mission church in Miami mentioned how segregated the churches are in his area. Pastor Juan said that he is thankful that God doesn’t segregate in heaven and how he wishes that churches would...
Down, but not out.
Leave it to God to make us strong through our weakness. When I read Acts 14:8-28 I noticed how when Paul and Barnabas were in Lystra great things happened there for God. Yet the crowd would still not completely “get it”. They displayed faith and believed in the...
Brave and Bold! Just do it!
“…But Paul and Barnabas spoke very boldly.” Acts 13:46 “…and they spoke bravely for the Lord…” Acts 13:3 As Holly and I depart tomorrow with a team for a mission trip to Alabama, I pray that we will (all) speak boldly and bravely for the Lord. But not only us, I...
Boasting
“Anyone who likes to brag is asking for trouble.” Psalm 17:19b This verse conjured up many times in my life when I’ve had proud moments (bragged about something). I’m talking about those moments when almost as soon as I bragged about something, BAM…the opposite...
Needing to be Sold (Souled) Out!
Paul and Barnabas. Stephanie and Holly. Similarity? Just being sent. We do need some prayers. PLEASE. As you may recall Holly and I are Alabama Bound! (May 19th journal entry.) It is all a God thing I know. I KNOW! But lately I’ve been feeling a bit like Jonah....
Woohoo!!
Acts 11 reminds me of the chorus in the children’s song “Jesus Loves the Children of the World”. It says, “Red, brown, yellow, black and white they are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.” It is doesn’t matter the color of your skin,...
Shoes to Fill
As Peter entered his home, Cornelius fell at his feet and worshiped him. 26 But Peter pulled him up and said, “Stand up! I’m a human being just like you!” Acts 10:25-26 Today, July 9th, will be a day of mixed emotions for our family. First of all, it is Jany’s...
God said it was okay.
When I read Acts 10:9-16, a couple of things came to my mind. First of all, when I read the name Cornelius, I immediately thought of my grandpa (my mom’s dad). He was Neil or Neily to most, but to me he was just Grandpa. I loved that man! He’d let me tinker in his...
How to show respect:
“…They showed their respect for the Lord by the way they lived….” Acts 9:31b I admire and have the utmost respect for my God. But do I always show it by the way I live my life? Acts 9:31, in its entirety says, “The church in Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had a...
One bad dude, turned good.
Saul (who later became Paul) was one bad dude. But this all changed in an instance. When he was on the road to Damascus he met Jesus. I’m not talking about “Hi, how are you? My name is Jesus,” kind of conversation. Jesus appeared in the form of a “light that...
Celebrate Freedom….
July 4th. Independence Day for America. Happy Birthday, America, land that I love! This is the day that we celebrate our freedom. Many of us may consider ourselves free from “other things” in our lives. Freedom from: a disease, a bad relationship, no school for a...
