Soaking up the Son
God is alive and active. He uses every day experiences to reveal Himself to us. See what simple or crazy life lessons God reveals to me. Challenge yourself to see, speak with, and listen to God daily.

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
Changed Lives
I know people that I went to high school with that look the same, well besides a wrinkle here and there and a grey hair or two, but they are also totally different. The ones I’m thinking of were NOT the most like to become preachers, missionaries, or to marry...
He can and will…
(May 31, 2013 post) Yea, I know this posting is a day late and a dollar short, but I knew what needed to be done. Yesterday morning I read Psalm 68:19 and thought of my friend. It says: Praise the Lord! Every day He helps us with the loads we must carry. He is the...
Smart vs. Stupid
I have been “very smart” in my life, and there have been times when boy-oh-boy was I stupid. Proverbs 14:29 says, “A patient person is very smart. A quick-tempered person makes stupid mistakes.” Accumulating stupidity isn’t something that sounds like a “smart” idea to...
Claimin' and prayin'
Psalm 67:1-2 reminded me of what I hope to be through this website and in person as well. It is a song of praise that says, “May God be gracious to us and bless us and make His face shine on us, so that Your ways may be known on earth, Your salvation among all...
Don't judge…..
Judging others. This is something we do. At least I know I have been and occasionally I’m still guilty of it. Scenarios: You see someone with tattoos all over them and think they must be bad to the bone. (And not in a good way.) You see someone who is Middle Eastern...
Be Better instead of Bitter
Yesterday I was enjoying, at least I thought I was, M&M pancakes with my son. (Yes! Chocolate for breakfast!) Mmmm, the sweet taste of the syrup and the buttery-flavored stack of hot pancakes were just what my stomach needed wanted. All of a sudden, chew, chew,...
"Hurry Up and Wait"
Have you ever been in a situation when you needed to make a move or come to a final decision, you had chatted with (prayed to) God about it, but He wasn’t responding in the timely manner you needed Him to? You’ve put yourself in one of those “hurry up and wait”...
Words in Action
Words are powerful! Whether they are written, typed, texted, tweeted, or spoken…words carry much weight and scrutiny. For example, just today I was privy to someone’s tweets on Twitter. (No, I don’t tweet. I don’t have time to tweet. I don’t need anything else...
Throwing/Giving it all up
Well, I reckon God gives me life examples to go with His Word any time during the night. Cole woke up around one o’clock in the morning not feeling well. For the next two hours, his bed became a sleeping bag and pillow on the floor in the bathroom. He knew that if he...
Do you need a hug?
I’m sure we could all go on about situations where we all need a God hug or even just a tight squeeze of the hand. Yesterday one of my nieces, Elizabeth, lost her young father. He had a massive heart attack which ended up leaving him with no brain activity and failing...
Thirsty?
Remember the Seinfeld episode when Kramer got a part in a Woody Allen movie saying “These pretzels are making me thirsty”? Well, this is how I felt when reading God’s word today. I was repeating in my head, “These words are making me thirsty!” In John 4:7-26 today I...
Alabama Bound!
My daughter, Holly, has always had the “travelers bug”. She loves to travel, like her momma, and wants to do more. A few months ago Holly mentioned that she wants to go on a mission trip. Our church offers many wonderful opportunities to go on mission trips, but it...
