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

It Happens

As I walked to the beach this morning I could still feel the weight on me.  Here we are just fresh off of losing Jany, and then last night more gripping news. God is teaching us the whole time. Let’s go back a bit….when we returned home from burying Jany in Kentucky...

"Patience, My Dear."

“Better to be patient than powerful;” Proverbs 16:32a God seems to be teaching me this more and more each day. Think about it, when we practice patience we may feel that we are more vulnerable during those times.  When we may want to control a situation, to feel more...

That's the type of God that I serve!

Have you ever tried to crack a rock open to see what it was like inside?  Well, this inquisitive country girl has.  I discovered….more rock.  Interesting to the eye, with all its designs and possible colors, but it was still just a rock. If I was thirsty and wanted...

“If their plan is something they thought up, it will fail. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them.” Acts 5:38-39 Aha!  I love these two verses! We all have goals in life, right?  If not, you should.  I think about my own children when they are...

Power in words

  Words.  No matter if they are written, spoken, or sung, words are powerful. Proverbs 16:24 reads, “Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.” Last night I wrote about how I was out of my funk.  Well, one thing that helped me...

No more "funk" for me!

I’ve missed journaling! Today when I read about John and Peter standing up for God and speaking eloquently with the Holy Spirit guiding them, I was encouraged. (Acts 4:1-22) Not only was I encouraged, but reminded how when we don’t know what to say, God does it for...

God's Hand was on her…

(After a busy day, I realized that I hadn't posted anything.  I read the scriptures and all was good, but I just didn't feel God pressing me to journal about any of the verses from today.  This is a little something I wrote a couple of nights after my mother-in-law's...

Happiness…

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “If momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.”  If you haven’t, I’m not sure where you’ve been, but just “google” it and you’ll see tons of sites appear.  I got a good grin when someone asked, “Who said…..?”  The reply given was, “a...

Comfort and Peace Through Birds

This journaling has now gone to the birds! I believe that God uses His creations to comfort us and bring us peace and fond memories. Lately, for me, it's about "the birds". When you read back to the June 11 posting you see how the turkeys gobbled in "Grandmama's...

Our plan/His plan

"God has a plan for everything. In His plan, the wicked will be destroyed."Proverbs 16:4 When I read this verse I had to pause and think of how wicked our world is. Now don't get me wrong, there is a lot of good going on in our world, but it seems that each day we...
